Yesterday Mr. Tidd Pratt, the English barrister, who has been appointed by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt to inquire into all the facts connected with the insolvency of those Irish savings' banks which have recently stc pped payment, opened his court of inquiry at the office of St. Peter's parish, or Cuffe street Savings' Bank, for the purpose of taking some preliminary steps in order to enable him to enter into the investigation.

Shortly after twelve o'clock about two hundred persons had assembled, when, our reporter being present, Mr. Moore addressed them from the steps of the door, the people gathering round him, in the following terms: —I have called you together (said Mr. Moore) to speak of the shameful and daring outrage which was committed to your upon menoQnigFhbrioduaryholoasdt. tolraepcpeiovienterdenttos.golodnidthtahtisdatyo save you trouble, and not to drag you from your business into Cavan.

I went amongst you in your distress, more like a pedlar than any body else, distributing blankets and giving clothes to your children—and was it for this you sought to muder me? I purchased meal in large quantities when it was dear, and gave it out to you—the most of it for nothing, and some to those whom I thought able to pay ui tt,fo,r 'Shame, hhiasmyeo,u sthhaomugeh: at half price, the greater part of which money has never " A great tbeen urredpearidrotteo?mmaen—y voice louder than the rest exclaimed, landlord st_oevuesr:ys,itwc.io.sroda One voice aYnodumwer.remaol woraey stealklsinndolthanindgbut the truth.'
