THE STATESMAN,

• This address was carried by acclamation. and It was
resolved t►at Messrs. William Benjamin and Jelin N$
nry Taylor slionld be depsted to firmest it to the Hem
Member in Leaden.

Mr. Joux SID,tST TAYLOR said he accepted the trust
with willingness, and was glad that this question was at
length to be hronght under the reviewnf the Legislature.,
lie could not omit that opportunity of expressing a hope
that the resolution which bad been adopted would meet
with that general support which was worthy a cause of
such magninde. With her political independence Ire-
, land had lost her resident proprietors, her productive in-
dustry, 1,2 r growing mcnnfactures, the comfort of her
people,e, the stability of rational freedom, and the otiose-
, in to improvement; she had been ever since declining
' towards that state in which a nstion exists ob. the terms
of .1 slave, n 3.1 of a pauper. tier virtues were broken,
her energies shaken, and even her hopes almost exhaust-
' ed. Previous to the Art of Union she stood before
the world as the useful and proud ally" of Great Uri-
ten; but her history was now only to be read in the
vicissitudes of poverty and violence—of coercion
and fatality. In short that Act had
.never falfilled
one of the promises of its advocates, while it had
more titan realised the prediction:: of its opponents.
There were few Irishmen that did net acknowledge this
truth ; among their friends and neighbours they knew
that the honour and happiness of Ireland owed their
extinction to the men who soil her independence. The
time was now come when they *booth' let this go forth
to Government. They should coins forward in each a
manner as would prove that a compact, which was
founded in injustice, and carried by fraud, might now
be dissolved in concurrence with the consent of both
countries. This was not a party question—it was one
in which all classes, who wish to save the empire, should
form a generous combination to demand the Indepen-
dence of Ireland.
It was resolved, that oar representativee, Sir R. Shaw,
Bart. and Thomas Ellis, Esq. be instructed to support
Mr. Concannon's motion; and that the Master, Wardens,
r &So di) wait on them with the said Resontios.

MORS PIRACY... Extract of a letter from Mr. James
Brossard, mister of the ship Harmony, from Liontlaras,
dated off Dover, Ont. 15 : —.4 We sailed from Belize on
the 22d of August, and were boarded off the Collorades.
by a pirate brig and a schooner, which took away a
puncheon of water, a saw, and a spy-glass. Between
the Havannah anti Illa'anzi, we were hoarded by a
schooner, with about ahl men, which plondered us of
two gen-carriages partly made, three boxes of taker' a
bag containing 450 dollars, 37 serons of indigo, 17
doubloons, and others articles. They then put a rope
round my neck to hang me, and gave me two or three
squeezes, as 1 bad told them there was no silver on
board : they afterwards heat the crew, took away all
their clothes, as well as mine, and threw overboard part
of our parents and logwood.

During last week upwards of 30,000 guidon of
wheat were imported from Ireland alone into Liverpool,
and the whole was sold partly to consumers and partly to
speculators, at ns. a quarter, calculating the weight to
be 60!b. a bushel.

There has been a great falling off this year in Bury
Fair. On Wednesday last, the first ball, not more than
twelve persons were present ; and at the second ball, on
Friday evening, about four hundred ladies and gentle-
men were in the rooms, at least two hundred lass than
last year.

log hitherto gone extensively into the trail. On Wed.
nesday anti Thursday last, about 15110 oigs were pur-
chased at t'allan, the average of which, it was supposed,
would turn out nearly as shore. New scalded lugs flare

The migration from the villages in the Weal,' of Sas-
sex, to Itrighton, this Michaelmas, have been incredibly
numerous. Some villages are said to he almost desert-
ed. Many who, hut a few years ago. were husking in
the snnshine of effinence, have broaght hither their last
5411. perhaps 2111. with the view of making an effort in
some little way of busbies*. to save themselves and fend-
lies from paopensm.to which many of their once wealthy
neighbours have been already compelled to submit. It
is ealculated that not less than 21,11 families of the above
description have taken op their residence here since Sew
Michaelmas day !—(l3rigliton eitromietc.)
Plenty has, even here, become sxoeedingly lavish with
her favours. At our market on Saturday, which was
abundantly stupefied with almost every description of
edible, fine fat geeee were soil (with their giblets) as low
as 31. each, and live pigs, too large for roasters, at the
same price, with other necessaries of life proportionably
low.—(Brighton Chronicle.)
About the hour of three o'clock on Sunday, a fire
broke out in a house situate in Lower Kingston, (Dun-
leary).which was occupied by a number of poor people.
The tire was occasioned by a quantity of straw being in
a room, over which there was a broken hearth-stone,
from which the fire fill among the straw. A Ifir.Tully,
who ha I the house in charge, haul three small casks of
powder in a cellar. The powder blew up, but no person
received any hurt, and the damage sustained was but
trifling. The house belonged to Lord De Vesey.—
