addressed the men Of Kent In favor Of the objects
of the peti,on, but besought them to give every one
natient hearing who might wish to speak. Great
onnosition was however made to Mr.. Shee's speak
;pp. though he declared he was freenoder Of the
county, and he was frequently interrupted with
+ YOU'RE liar, ''down, down. &c. Lord Ieynham
opposed the petition. Mr.. Shel, having declared
he was freeholder Of the county, the High Sheriff
requested the meeting to hear HIM. HIS Speech as
reported, occupies two closely printed columns =
He was alternately cheered by the Anti-Brunswlck
party and interrupted by yells and uproar from that
Of Lord WincheIsea.
MIR. Charles Larkn spoke against the conduct
and principles of the Brunswick clubs. Cobbett at
tempted to speak, but his voice was drowned by
yociferation OF 80 Get down, you old bone grubber
Bring Tom Paine's bones with you! Get Down, your
honor to pigstye," &c. Sir E. Knatchbuli, M. r.
for the country, was vehementy called for and re-
ceved with loud cheers. He besought the gentle
men from ireland when they reported to their coun-
rymen the sense of this meeting to add that no un-
friendly feeling had been expressed towards them.
He assured his constituents that whether the Catho
lie question was agitated in the next Parliament or
not, nothing should induce him to swsrye from his
Protestant principles.
Cobbet kent his post during hall. the Hon. men,
berss speech and gesticulated veheinently. When
he found he could not be heard he CALCULATED occa-
sonalIy, ugly beas,f stupid beast, J. disagreeable
creature directed towards Sir Edward. He at last
obtained room to speak amidst great confusion,
cheers, hssess, roars of laughter, and cries OF we
have heard that before, tell US something new His
speech was TRADE against tithes, &c and an abuse
Of all parties. The high Sheriff put the question of
presenting the petition A great show and waving
of hats took place on the left, with loud cheering
Mr.. Hodges then proposed an amendmen'-
ssThese objects would be best attained by leaving
his Majestys Ministers the free exercise OF their
own judgement, in proposing such measures for the
pacifcation of Ireland as they might deem proper "
On the question being put, third part Of the
meeting held up their hands for the amendment, and
two-thirds for the original motion. The immense
multitude dispersed very quickly. The numbers
The Dublin evening Mail, Brunswick paper, sums
up the matter thus:-
" There is an end of the Popish question in Eng.
land for many long year. The triumphant asser.
ton Of constitutional principles resulting from the
meeting of Panendon Heath will excite a cores
ponding expression from every county in England
and the Kings Ministers will be made to feel that
the Protesants of the empire are not to be triiled

The Globe says:-
"The victory Gf victory it can be caed) was the
fruit Of superior activity. The intoleYants worked
with the zeal Of an advocate who is conscious tina
he has bad cause, and that his success in address
ing those who to decide upon it, will mainly de
pend upon preventing the access oflight to their
derstandings. The Liberal party, the other hand
relied too implicitly the strength OF their cause

, it's way to the minds Of men more conversant wit
plougis than with poemics, and better able to de
eide on the merits Of a bullock than OF an argu
ment "
+ The Courier thinks that The Kent meeting ha
| produced great effect in Dublin. The Editor say
/ that :. while the Catholic Agtaors were paramount
, there was no tranquility for Ireland, and that unit
there uas tranquility, there could be concession
or arrangement" Again says the Courier:
IS Ireland must be raqullised, and will be trar
G 1uised but shall not be sorry, il the Agtator
tor heir own sakes, render the task easier by con
pounding tor impunity and oblivion. 1t is too LAT
! to rest any hope upon intimidation. it will
d long ere they are entitled to rest any upon mercy
: Let them therefore desist in time for although tf
j. law be slow, il is sure, and in proportion as it
IL mild in its interference, it is rigorous in its oper
i ton "
