TO TEE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Bbothebs , —An address beaded as iocre appeared in tbe Star of the S 9 th April , bearing the signature * of Messrs . Thomas Ancot and Wm Brown , Chairman and Secretary to the ChartutB of Glasgow , whieii address , in our opinion , goes far to d «» troy tbe character of the ChartUts of tbia place ; » ay , ^ & * ch arges in ^ *» trae > ought to be reprobated by every honest man . It is therein set forth that the Chartists of Gretnock , or rather a few of them , have taken advantage of an address pot forth by the Chartists of Glasgow , to the effect , tnat they had engaged a company to visit the different localities for tbe purpose of representing tbe trial of Robert Emmet , and thereby raising a fund to pay off tbe debt due by the Chartists of Scotland to Mr George Ross ; that these indmd-oais have done so without tbe authority cf the Chartists of Greenock ; that they have done it for the express purpose of filling their own coffers ; and that none of the proceeds hare been paid into the Association funds . These are the charges . Now
how stands the case ? Tbe facts are these . The Universal Suffrage Association of GreeDoek , in their anxiety to forward the good cause , contracted a debt o ! £ 15 . At a meeting held in December , 1 S 42 , it was resolved to adopt some means to have tins debt paid off ; accordingly it wag agreed to give a representation of tbe above named noble patriot ' s trial , in the hall of our Mechanic ' s Institution , on Tuesday the 3 rd of January , 1843 ; ' considerable debt -was -contracted for dresses and room , and the proceeds barely covered them ; » o that our own fund * renr . aiEed much , es they were . The Greenock men , at the rtqaest of our brethren in the Vale of Leven , ¦ went over and performed the trial for two night * , —
not to assist our own fondB , bnt to assist tbe friends in that locality in raising funds to build a haJL At tbe request of our brethren in Gasgow they performed it for two nirhts in Cookc ' e Circus , to crowded houses , and £ 7 $ was drawn—not for our funds , but to assist in paying off debt due to Mr . . Ross . Having done eo much for our friends in other places , the Committee "wer ^ ef opinion that an effort should be made for ourselves . Accordingly a place was secured in Paisley , and »\ so in Johnstone ; and the trial was given in each ; and after defraying all expenees ( and we can assure you the charges made by the men performing the piece were ¦ very small ) £ l S * . was paid into the hands of oar treasurer ; 1 Ss . we expect from Johnstone ; making in all £ 2 . < 3 .
"W . tfeoot comment , brethren , we leave the charges and the facts in jour hands , knowing that yon will judge impartially . Signed in the name cf the Cammittee , Peteb Campbell , Treasurer . 31 , High Tennell , Greenock , 6 th May , 1813 . ^

HOUSE OF LORDS—FaiDA -r , May 5 . No iusiness of importance . Mondat , Mat 8 . The Earl * of ClaB-Endon and Radsob presented several petitions for a total repeal of the Corn Laws . Lord Rode . * and Lcrd Glexgall presented petitions on the present system of Poor Laws in Ireland , deprecating the agitation raised against it The Marquii of Cla > 'B 1 Cakdk moved for a Select Committee of inquiry respecting the operation of tbe Irish Poor Law Act . The Dake of Wxlli > gto ?« opposed the ' motion , on the ground that the bill bad received mature consideration when introduced , and that there was a hill in the Commons for amending tbe Act .
The Marquis of Classicabdk withdrew his motion , on an understanding from tbe Dake of Wellington that when the bill same op from the Commons , if a motion should be made to refer it to a Select Committee , he would leave the matter t » the sense of the House . Adjourned at nine o ' clock . Titesdat , Mat 9 . The Earl of Rodex called attention to the condition of Ireland , consequent on the agitation for the Repeal of the Union , which was producing great mi 3 cbiif , except in the province of Ulster , where the peop > were sti ) l sound and loyal , and ready to do in 1 S 43 what they had so effectually done in 2738 .
The Duke of WELLiSGrox said that the Irish Go-Yernmem were alive to tbe importance of the matter , and were aided by the supreme Government in the precautions which they were taking to ensure the public peace in IrelaDd . The Government were determined to maintain inviolate the integrity of the empire , and lie was rare that Parliament would aid them in so doing ; . Lord Brougham said that a severance of the Legislative Union would be , in fact , a disruption of the empire , to prevent which this country wouid put forth its whole Etrength , moral and physical , on the first in t ~ station of its necessity , Trie Maiquis of Lassdcwse sa ; d that the Government might rely with confident upon the efforts of the House , in maintenance of ihe integrity of ; he empire .
The Marquis of Dots ^ shire sai d that it was highly requisite that attention should be directed to tbeprpseni excited state of the people of Ireland , upon this question . Lord Campbell presented a petition , which again brought the beoieh Church question under discussion ; and the Marquis of Breadalbase asked Lord ABEBDEEnbow the Government intended to deal with the subject ! Lord ABEBDBiN said he had before stated the course which the Government would pursue , but he hid no objection to repeat \ h . He should be very glad if he could prevent the disruption of tbe Church of Scotland , which it was said wonld follow the secession of some of its ablest minister-.
After a short conversation , in which the Puke of Argyle , Lord Brougham , and LortfBsmpbdi joined , the petition was laid Hpon the table , land their lordships adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Fkidat , Mat 5 . Mr . Lake Fox , in reply to Mr . Smith O'Brien , said , as he perceived by the newspapers that Mr . O'Connell bad declared he would not attend the discussion of bis motion respecting agitation for the Repeal of the "Ccion , he would not bring it on in his absence ; but that he would address him a public letter in order to let him know what he meaDt to da On the motion for going into committee of the ¦ whole House , on the endowment of additional ministers in populous place * , Mr . Hckb asked if it would involve a grant of public money ? Sir S . PjgEX replied that it would not . The Honse then went into committee , and
Sir R Peel proceeded to state the grounds on which he felt it necessary to call the attention cf tie House to the subject . Seme progress had been made in order to remedy the admitted evils arising from the population outrunning the means of public instruction arid pastoral care . But tbe existing deficiency was still great and undeniable . How was it to be supplied ? The G ^ - Tfcrnment had come t » the conclusion that accruing ecclesiastical revenues should for the presei . t be made applicable to the purpose ; and if thfcse sfeofcld prove insufficient , that then it would be their dnty to apply to Parliament for additional aid . Great practical bentfit fead resulted from the labours of the E cclesiastical Commission appointed in 1834 , during the short period that he was at the head of the administration at that
time . Tbe commission had directed their attention to aojosting tbe nnequal division of the dioceses and labours of the bishops , and to the reduction of the numbers of cathedral establishments ; and as Parliament had given effect to their recommendations , there "was now accruing an annual sum of £ 25 000 oat rf the revenues of the suppressed canxmries , ¦ whieh was applicable to tbe augmentation of Email livings and to making provision for spiritual destitution . The present annual amount appropriated to that purpose by the Commissioners was £ 32 000 ; bat it was ca ) . eclated that in a few yean there would be a great increase in the annual amount of the revenues which ¦ were available to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners . He , therefore , proposed to anticipate this accruing
income , to provide for tfae present spiritual deetitution of the people ; and be gave the details of a scheme by which he proposed to effect it . The Governors of Queen Anne ' s bou :. ty had at this moment a capital stock standing in their names to the anionnt Of £ 1 , 200 , 000 , the interest of which is applicable to specific purposes . Of this he proposed to borrow £ 600 , © 00 to be secured on the future accruing revenues of the . Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; and this borrowed stock is to be applied , in annual amounts of £ 30 , 0 f 0 , to the immediate augmentation of the means of spiritual icttrection . He explained the particulars of the plan for the repayment , by which he calculated that in 1660 the Ecclesiastical Commigsio&ers will have sa annual amount to provide of £ 80 , 000 , for which it u expected that they will hare by that time ample mean * , anwng from accruing revenues . The borrowed
mm , ia annual amount * of £ 30 , 000 , ia intended U be applied , not to tie building of churches , but to the endowment of minister ., and to be connected with the * id of local subscriptiona . Great benefit h&i already «* uited from Toluntary subscriptions , for building ebnrchea ; and nothing could nj « re conduce to the promotion of these church building sobBcriptions , than by providing for the endowment of ministers . He hoped ttii in these « ndowmect « care would be taken to assign each minuter a given district ; though he did bov think that the endowment of the minister should wait on tie construction of tbe church . He would rather first place a Hiini » ter in a destitute district , confident that the erection of a church ¦ wouM speedi y follow tbe * acc 66 » of his labour * . Lookii ^ ta tbe destitute condition of the population , he fcir tfcs- cn : a importance of immediate action ; and seeing tba : r ? t did rot : * s k for a tract of public money , te L-v >« g : Le
House would unanimously agree to tee pro > useu scheme "Sot bat t&at he should l > ke to gtt a era :,: A r u ' rO-c money for the purpose ; but be vm trs ¦ ¦< us It unanimity , atd b * w ^ s sstbfied ttar Vy t _ e i r- p ¦ - sp ^ llcitf-r if icc !< - *' .

late yean , in the reli gious liberality of pouesaon of property attacked to tbe establishment . He © oncJuded with proposing a resolution on which to fon « d a motion for leave to bring in a bill in order to carry out the plan of endowment . Sir R . H . InglM , Lord Dunnannon , Captain Bernal , Mr . Colqnho « B , Lord John Ruasell , Mr . Hume , Mr . Pakington , Mr , Gisborne , Mr . Plumptre , Mr . Borthwick , Lord Sandon , Mr . Campbell , Mr . Herbert Corteis , Lord John Manners , Mr . Acland , and Mr . BrethertoD , took place in the debate , after which the resolution was agreed to , and the House having resumed with the Speaker in the chair , leave was given to bring in a bill founded on it . The remaining business waa then gone throuitk , including the introduction of a bill , by Sir James Graham , to regulate the Milbank Penitentiary , and the House adjourned .
MONDAY , Mat 8 . The Speaker informed the House that the securities for tbe prosecution of the Nottingham petition against the last election were unexceptionable . Ncmerous pert'ions were presented against the Factories Education Bill . Mr . Roebcck gave notice that at an early opportunity he would call the attention-of the House to the occupation of Scinde . In answer to & question from Mr . Fhesch , Lord Eliot said that the reporta as to certain gentlemen having been dismissed from the Commission of the Peace for taking part in repeal meetings , were without foundation . The Chakceixor of the Exchequer brought on the budget , to which we have referred in a separate article . The House adjourned at half-past eleven .
TUESDAY , Mat 9 . Amongst the private and preliminary business , there was a strong muster , and a somewhat lively debate on the Northampton and Peterborough Kailway Bill Lord Jotceltn put a question similar to the one put by his father , the Earl of Roden , in the House of Lords , respecting the agitation for the repeal of the Union . Sir Robebt Peel quoted from the parliamentary proceedings of 1834 , respecting the necessity and
importance of the preservation of the legislative union , and declared that on the part of her Majesty he was empowered to re-echo the BentimentB then expressed both by the Sovereign and jointly by the Legislature . The Government were alive to the necessity of preserving the peace of Ireland ; and though reluctant to ask for additional powers , they would not , for a moment , shrink from doing bo , if it should prove to be necessary , in order to put down attempts to procure tbe dismemberment of the empire .
Sir Robert Peel spoke with considerable animation , and he was loudly cheered by & full and excited House . The Speaker called on Mr . Villiers to proceed with bis motion on the Cora Laws ; which was the signal for the presentation of a great number of petitions on the subject . Mr . Villikrs then rose to more " That this House will resolve itself into a committee , for the purpose of considering the duties affecting the importation of foreign corn , with a view to their immediate abolition . " Mr . Vjllikrs Stuart seconded the motion .
Mr . Gladstone declared the determination of the Government not to leave any doubt as to their intentions . The proposed Canadian corn bill was not an amendment of the Corn-law ; it was but » part of the measures which had been planned last year , and remained to be completed . It was true that the Corn-law , like every commercial law , partook of the nature of an experiment , bat it also partook of the nature of a contract , and it would be a breach of faith to entertain & proposition for its repeal , before it bad received anything like a fair trial . Mr . Christopher and Mr . Roebuck took part in the debate , which was then adjourned .

THE TUG OF WAR . O'CONNELL , THE DUKE , AND THE REPEAL . So ! so ! The game thickens . The earnestness of faction becomes apparent ; and its seeming greatness waxes bold . Every new circumstance tends to justify the people ' s policy in hurling from the seat of power the half-halting timorous and perfidious Whigs , and in narrowing the field of action and the chance of battle by a concentration of the powers of the enemy . The great advantage of it is that it will bring on the pitched battle . It will " pit" the force of tyranny against the power of an enlightened , peaceful , but determined people . There is a temerity—a
sort of manliness of front and bearing—in the Tories which shews better " where to have them . " They are an open foe , and they avow it fairlj and " come out . " There is no shrinking , nor "blinking the matter" with them . They " take the bull" fairly "by the horns "; and thus bring to issue the question between right and might . Did we fear the issue , or did we think the people unprepared to " bide " it , we might wish the temporisers were again " at home " . We do not . We think the power of public opinion all-sufficient to check rampant faction in its fiercest onslaught : and we hear therefore
without fear the rattle" which gives presage of the long deferred attack . The war ia now to become general . The policy of skirmishing with . Chartists only is to be abandoned . They have gathered so much strength from every new attack that despotism finds out the necessity of "looking sharply round " , and the Tories are about to take the step which their friends of the late Ministry would have been glad to do but dare not . They are about to take strong measures against Mr . O'Connell and the Repeal Agitation in Ireland . In both w Houses" the " note of
preparation" has been Bounded at the Bane time . In the House of Lords Earl Roden brought the Duke upon his legs by asking what the Government intended with reference to the Repeal Agitation . He reminded him of former pledges from himself and Peel : of their avowed determination to suppress it even at the expence of a resort to force" and of "dying tbe scaffold and the plains of Ireland with blood" ; and he required the Government to say , positively , whether they were now disposed to carry out these threats . We give the Duke ' s answer , as we find it in the Times : —
" My Lords , the Government of Ireland is sensible of the feelings of excitement which exist in certain parts of Ireland on tbe subject of the Repeal of the Union , and it is also aware of tbe danger which may be the result of that excitement —( bear , hear ) . The attention of the Government has , my Lords , been given to the state of excitement that prevails , and to the measures which have been adopted in order to keep it up , and tbe Government of Ireland and Her Majesty ' s servants here have adopted measures in order to enable tbe Irish Gevernment with certainty to preserve the peace of that country is case any attempt shall be made to disturb it , and to prevent the success of any measures which any mischievous persons in Ireland may have iu contemplation for the purpose of disturbing the
peace . 11 There can be no doubt , my Lords , of tbe determination of the Legislature and of tbe Government to maintain inviolate tie union between tbe two portions of the United Kingdom ; and there can be so doubt , also , as to tbe duty of Her Majesty ' * Government to act accordingly— ( hear , hear ) . It is tbe determination of Her Majesty ' s Government to maintain that onion , and to come down to Parliament and to call on Parliament U give to H « Majesty ' s Government its support in carrying into execution any measures that may be necessary in order to maintain the onion , and to preserve from disturbance the peace of Her Majesty ' s dominions—( cheers ) . "
" My Lords , this ia the opinion of Her Majesty ' s Government at the pres ent moment , and upon this opinion , and in full confidence of receiving tbe support of Parliament , Her Majesty * Government will invariably act— ( cheers ) . A similar application from Lord Jocelth , in tbe House of Commons , brought from Sir Robert Peel a still stronger expression of determination to put dowH the Repeal movement . Sir Robert is reported to have said t—
' I ba-ve to M-aic , for the information of my Noble ¦' . -d ar , d of v , e Hi . ife . th it bt-r Mcjesf . ' s Govern-. 1 b , -L m K , . . ..-. . ; , ; , i ^ - ^ j . , ; r < . u ahV 6 to

which the law gives to the Government which shall not be used to maintain that nnion , the repeal of which would not only be tbe repeal of an act of Parliament , bn * . » dismemberment of this great empire . —( Reiterated cheers . ) Of this I am conident , that the executive Government loses nothing in moral and legal strength "by confiding as long as possible in the ordinary powers which tbe law and the constitution give them . I am unwilling , without urgent necessity , to disparage the ordinary law by asking for increased enactments —( hear , hear ) , but I do not hesitate to say that if necessity should arise her Majesty ' s Gavernment will at once apply to Parliament for those a dditional and effectual powers which will enable them lo avert the mighty evils which must accrue , not only to England but to Ireland , from any attempt to dissolve the existing union . ( Much cheering . ) I here subscribe to and
repeat the dec ' arattens made iu this place on a former occasion by Lord Althorp , —that , deprecating all war , and especially deprecating civil war , there is nevertheless no alternative which I should not consider preferable to the dismemberment of this great empire , ( Enthusiastic cheering from the ministerial side . ) But I hope , Sir , that our forbearance will n » t be misconstrued ; I trust we shall only obtain additional strength by deferring our call for new powers until more urgent necessity Bh&ll ame , and meanwhile 1 hope I have given proof that we shall not fail to ask those powers if it shall be found necessary to demand them in order to fulfil the desire expressed by Parliament in the year 1834 . ( Much applause . i Sir , I have only fmtherto thank the Noble Lord for tbe opportunity he has afforded me of making this public declaration on the part of Her Majesty ' s advisers . '
Here , then , are avowals which leave no doubt as to the course which has been determined on . " War , war to the knife , against Repeal" is to be the watchword of the day ; and the struggle against the rising spirit of liberty is to be shifted from the English to the Irish shore . The full phial of oppression , aiid the fu ll measure of iniquity , are now to be served up to Ireland , and she is to be " coerced" in earnest . Not merely are her green fields and her fertile valleys to be made , as usual ) the theatre of rapine reoognised by law and the scenes of destitution the result of crime ;—not the crime of the destitute , but of those who made him destitute ;—not merely are the wonted and accustomed acts of outrage to be re-perpetrated , and , if possible , perpetuated , but the very tongue of murmur must be silenced , and tbe badge of slavery be accompanied by its proper counterpart , * ' the gag " . '
What says Ireland to the prospect of the gifts in store for her ! What Bays Ireland ' s mouthpiece , Mr . O'Connell 1 We have seenjthe fiat of Government ; the " declaration of war ' from Sir Robert and " the Iron Duke" ; let us Bee how O'Connell is prepared to meet it . Let us have his own account of his own position , and his own strength . 'He seems not to be unaware of the nature of the coming conflict , and he appears to contemplate with confidence its coming . At a great " Repeal Demonstration" held a few days ago at Sligo he reviewed his strength in terms which , though somewhat long , we here place before our readers , that they may fairly view the battle field and the belligerents . O'Coiwell is reported to have aaid : —
' ¦ It was a majestic sight to see so many thousands of human beings congregated together in the purest highest , and noblest cause that ever yet animated human patriotism . ( Cheers . ) Their country was a province ; she should be a nation . ( Cheering . ) The iron hand of despotism bad been upon her . The starless night of desolation had ruled ber destiny for centuries , but the day was coming , tbe hoar was approaching , the time was at hand wben her sons would lift their voices to heaven , and cruel man would be forced to yield to tbe necessity of succumbing to tbe wishes of a virtuous and a noble nation . ( Loudcheers . ) What they were looking for was plainly their rightthe right of all human beings to self government
What they required was , that Ireland should have Irishmen , and that Irishmen should have Ireland . Tbey would let the English have England , the Scotch have Scotland , tbe French have France , but they should insist on the Irish having Ireland . ( Great cbeera ) For the last seven hundred years Ireland bad been governed by anything but by ber own sonB ; but tbe Irish bad at length grown too many ; they had grown too wise , they had grown too temperate , tbey had grown too peaceably determined , not to succeed in restoring their country to her national importance . ( Cheers . ) * * We must bo a nation . ( E . thuslastic applause . I Ireland cannot continue to be a province . ( Renewed cheers . ) Tbe waves of the Atlantic
may , by possibility , career over her bills and mountains , bnt nothing save the eternal flood of tbe mighty ocean can quench the Same of the majestic bos ^ in tbat lights , invigorates , and warms In the sacred cause of national independence . iGreat cheering . ) Nothing but the extinction of the nation can extinguish the demand—nothing but the annihilation of all her people can retard tbe success of our movement . Somebody says that we will not succeed , and that I am merely always going about from place to place . But what are the elements of success ? Is not agitation tbe price necessarily paid for liberty , and Is not our agitation confessedly within the bounds of peace , law , and tbe constitution ( hear , heart ? I am not to succeed ,
forsooth ! Answer that question ye 200 , 000 men of Ulster that I addressed at Carrickmacross—answer that question ye 120 . 000 men of Meatb that I addressed at Hells , you whose shouts still ecbo in my ears , and mock the assertion—answer that ye 150 , 000 men who met me tbe other day in procession at Limerick , where you conducted yourselves in decency , and good order , and good temper , only equalled by what I have witnessed on tbia day—answer me that question ye countless thousands that I will meet on Sunday next at the Curragb of Kildare . Answer me that ye myriads who will meet me on Sunday week next at Mullingar . Answer me that question ye more than half a million of persons who will meet me at the latter end of this month at Cork
( hear , hear ) . Answer me that question ye fifty thousand men who will meet me in Longford . Answer me that question ye men of Drogheda where I am also going—you who are bound by every tie that memory can conjure up , not to forget the crimes committed against your ancestors during the three days ' slaughter sanctified by that monster Cromwell , who called it a great mercy of God ( hear , hear ) . Answer me that question ye shades of my departed countrymen , who for 700 years had government but no constitutionwho for 700 years suffered the bitter pangs of slatery—yon who suffered all the horrors ot eppression , where everything was given to the stranger , and where you were left to be hewers of wood and
drawers of water in the land of your birth—tbe slaves of a foreign invasion . Yon shall have it no more ! ( The entire company here . stood up , and continued cheering for several moments . ) No ; the hour is past . Tbe morning star beams on tbe verge of the horizontbe star of light and liberty that will soon enlighten our hemisphere—that invigorates as well as warms—that cheers as well as enlightens every human being In tbe land . No—Irishmen must have Ireland—( tremendous cheering ) . That is my only proposition ; but how am I to get it 1 By organisation , organization , organisation ! ( caeers ) . Your cheer , and the ready response with which yon replied to the phrase that my heart dictated and my tongue but feebly pour tray ed delights me . Tbat
cheering speaks of your sincerity , but will it also speak of your perseverance —( cries of " It will" ) I Oh 1 I have those with me whose conduct teaches tbe Irish heart I have with me the poor man ' s only friend . I have those whs never desert , in sickness or in sorrow , tbe lambs of tbe fold—tbe chosen and bleeding lambs of the feld , that tbe Lord has confided to their care . I have those who , wben famine stalks the land—when pestilence scares , with 10 , 000 deaths surround—wben everybody else flies from tbe bed of rotten straw on which the dying peasant Is extended—when mepbitlo air fills tbe chamber of death —I have those who , at such a moment , forget every consideration that death in its mos t hideous shapes can harrow forth —( cries of hear , hear , hear ) Tbey
meet it half way , and expire in the performance of their charity towards man and their duty towards God —( great cheers . ) I have those with me who never forsook the people through 300 years of persecution , and whom the people in their turn never forsook—( bear , and cheers . ) I have those not only blessing bnt aiding—and oh ! they aid by their blessing . With their countenance there can be no shrinking back , there can be no retreating . Gentlemen , Ireland has never yet had a fair stand-up fight for ber liberties—( bear , and cheers . ) I do not mean the fight of battle and of death—the flgbt of combat , destruction , and of the sanguinary field , but I mean the virtuous , persevering , constant struggle for liberty —( bear , bear . ) I have pledged myself to
three millions of Repealers , and I cannot afford to take any less —( cries of " you shall have them . ") But tbe question has been asked , " when you get three millions of Repealers bow much farther advanced will you be than you now are V Oh , leave that to me —( loud laughter and cheers ) Will I not-tell them tbat the history of the world is to be began again , that they may burn all their books , and say that they know nothing of tbe history of man , if tbe three millions of determined and crfmeless men are to be refused any reasonable request tbat they may please to solicit —( hear , near . ) Bui I will not stand there ? Give me my three million of Repealers , and I will Immediately take the next step . I
will not have a convention in Dublin , for that is against tbe law . There is a statute against holding any convention in Ireland , and I am a great respecter of your statutes—( bear , bear , and laughter ) But the statute does not cover tbe entire of the ground . It covers a small penal portion , and I would not tread on that at all but with tbe most perfect good humour as well as good temper . I may say that though there may be breakers ahead , there ia an old pilot at the helm —( enthusiastic cheers for some moments ) .

will have , say three hundred gentlemen of rank , fortune , and station , assembling together spontaneously In Dublin ; and would it not be a good week ' s work to bring in any suggestions that these three hundred gentlemen , who would of course happen to be in Dublin by mere matter of chance —( laughter)—would bave to offer on the framing of a bill 1 They say that if a man was throwing on a table the twenty-four letters of the alphabet for a certain space of time , he would at length bu able to make out tbe entire of Pope's Homer—( laughter ) .

spontaneous assemblage of three hundred gent ' emen in Dublin , to take into consideration suggestions on the form of . a bill to Repeal the Legislative Union—( loud cheers ; . That will be Bill No . 1 . No . 2 will be suggestions for the heads of a bill for the restoration ot tbe ancient Parliament ef Ireland —( cheers ) . They would bave to consider suggestions ( for tbe beads of bills for the conciliation of all parties , and for making a proper application of Ecclesiastical revenues , having of course a due consideration tor vested interests . They would also consider suggestions for a bill on the fixity of tenure , in which the landlords' rights would be fully protected , white tbey would be compelled to perform
their duties towards their tenantry —( hear ) . Don't you think that would be a good week's work to have them in for—( cheers and laughter ) ? We would have all these bills prepared in perfect technical accuracy , and ready to be submitted to tbe nex ; Parliament tbat we would und willing to take them into consideration—( cheers ) . In doing this , we would violate no law—we would infringe on no part of tbe constitution . The English Parliament , once before , put away their King , and appointed another—the glorious William—in his place . That was against the letter of the law ; but will any of those who now oppose us , say tbat it was against the spirit of the constitution ? It would be time
fur ber sacred Majesty to witness ber Irish subjects , and what a cheer there will be for ber when she lands —( cheers ) . Ib not it to be continued as long as she remains in Ireland —( cries of yes" )? Ala no , while Bhe sleeps there will nob be a single shout to disturb it The day is coming on , it is arriving fast , when she will have tbe gratification of opening her Parliament in Dublin , and going down in state , with the Repeal wardens lining the streets on both sides—for tbat shall be a duty conflded to them alone , ami which no other man shall be allowed to interfere in , because it is they who shall have achieved the victory" —( hear , hear , hear ) .
Such , then , is the position of the belligerents ; the two hosts—of misrule and liberty—encamped against each other . What should be the conduct of the people—the English people , while the struggle pends ? Should they stand tamely by and see Ireland immolated without coming to the rescue ? Should they aid the tyrants and send " fighting men " to dye her fields with blood , and "thank God i ' twas our boy a did it" I O ! No ; No ; No ! This is not their measure of repayment . At least , it shall not be so Tar as we have influence with them . That
we have differed with Mr . O'Connell not only upon detail questions , but upon matters of general policy , is a faot too well known to require repetition . We have expressed our opinion of his policy unreservedly , and have not a single word to retract . That we have doubted hia sincerity , even upon the question of repeal , we admit . That his conduct has , upon many occasions , been'false and treacherous to the Chartists , ia undeniable . That he has not strengthened the party by which he hoped to effect his purpose ten years ago , is matter of history . Bnt all these things weigh not a feather in the scale against the necessity for upholding popular liberty
against factious domination and coercive tyranny . And let tbe people be assured the cause is not less their own because Ireland is to be the scene of con-, test . All the great principles to which our souls are wedded are not less at stake in this attack upon the Repeal agitation of our Irish brethren , than in the more direct processes in which the virtue of tbe English Chartists has alone , and almost without Irish aid , worsted a tyrant Government in many successive actions . We know that it is so ; and that every nail fastened in the coffin of Irish independence is a dagger piercing the heart of English liberty ; a rivet , making more fast our manacles . Hence would
we be ashamed , at such a time , to nourish differences or to withhold the haud of succour from a nation bravely struggling against tyrant power . Wheresoever the flag of liberty contends with tyranny , there do we uplift our weapon for it , no matter by whom it may be carried . Sinking all other matters in the public weal , we are now prepared to say even to O'Connell , " If you have now learned the secret that an enlightened public expect , from their professing friends , something more than mere empty sound * and the honour of paying for it ; if you suppose the time has come for realising , or for honestly trying to realise , yoor country ' s hopes ; and if you are
disposed therefore to put forth your strength in earnest and to fight the battle fairly , we are ready to forget the past and put forth all our energies to save you from the violence with which the Tories threaten you ; and with which , when the Whigs threatened us , you promised to aid them in its perpetration . We will not volunteer as part of 500 , 000 fighting men to trample upon you ; nor will we rejoice if an English Sergeant shall be foremost in the slaughter—for rely upon it there
will be slaughter before the English executors of a mixed oligarchy will give up their claim to that position which they won by brute force and treacliery . Bnt fear not for the issue of the struggle . 'Tis not the first time ihe Tories have talked big nor will it be the first time of their being worsted . Before tbe passing of * Reform' or * Catholic Emancipation' the Iron Duke and Sir Robert were as confident as now . But England and Ireland carried ' Reform' and ' Emancipation' in their teeth as they shall yet carry the Charter and Repeal . "
The people must look out now for the exercise of a stronger arm of power than they have seen exercised fora long time ; and while they come , if need be , to the aid of Ireland with all the chivalry and bold determination of tbe English character , they must look well to the measuring of tbeir footsteps , that they give no advantage to the common enemy . Tbe fight must be a moral and a peaceful one . It must be conducted fairly and by legal means . Government threaten to apply to Parliament for new powers ; let us use the powers that we have ; let us use them wisely and not exceed them ; let us look carefully to every step ; let us eschew all
rash and hasty movements ; let us have neither seorosy nor known violation of the law ; let us kick out the Bkulking braggarts from our camp ; let us array ourselves—English , and Scotch , and Irishmen—under one Common banner , with the flag of freedom and the Charter waving over ns : with the Charter , aad never before it , will Repeal come ; and the sacred tree of Liberty shall take root at once in Britain and in Ireland , and it shall flourish under the fostering genius of democracy , until its blessed fruits , social justice and individual enjoyment , causing the flueh of happiness to mantle on each face , shall pleasingly but quietly proclaim our triumph .

THE BUDGET . •« PROSPERITY" AND A FALLING REVENUE . " FREE TRADE" AND A " DEFICIENCY . " On Monday night last , " The Budget" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was opened . It had been looked forward to with no inconsiderable ebare of interest , many being curious to know what had been tbe effect of the " Free-Trade Tariff" of last year upon the Revenue , and iwhat was to be the amount of the New Income Tax .
Sir Robebt Peel when he entered upon office , found a deficient revenue . He found the expenditure exceeding the income very materially ; and the deficiency made up by the issuing of Exohequer Bills , which , in process of time came to be added to the permanent Debt . He pronounced this to be a most unsatisfactory state of the Nation ' s finances ; and devised a scheme to raite the " needful , " so that the deficiency might no longer exist . Ono part of his scheme was to take a great leap towards complete Free Trade ; and the other the imposition of a tax upon property , and upon income arising from profession .
On Monday last the official statement was given , which tnabies us to judge of the efficiency or soundu-.-.- ) cf c-iir ft i ' l-. M . ' n measures , confiuintr our attr-n-
Untitled Article
That statement is , tbat they have failed ! The deficiency is net made up ! The Expenditure ^ for the yearlending April 5 th , 1843 , is , in round number , £ 51 , 160 , 000 . The Income is £ 48 , 740 , 000 The excess op Expenditure over Income , is £ 2 , 420 , 000 ! The amount of Income-tax received up to April 5 ih , 1843 , and included in the above account of ' Income , " is £ 2 , 456 , 000 . So that , had it not been for the Income-tax , the excess of Expenditure over Income would have been just upon £ 5 , 000 , 0 § 0 !
Hero then is a test of "Free Trade . " The Tariff , being the largest step towards complete Free Trade over taken in this couitry , was to bring about such a state of " Prosperity , " as to place all classes of the community in a comparatively happy position . One proof of that altered and happy position , was to be found in an increased Revenue . Where is that proof ? Where is the increase ? Where is the bettered condition ?
The Tariff has pulled down the prices of all descriptions of produce . It has bad that effect , most certainly . Farming produce is " cheap . " Wheat is " low ; " almost as low as the most rigid Corn Law Repealer could desire . Milk is low ; butter is low ; and cheese is low . A neighbour of ours , in the Wholesale Provision Line , declares that for £ 50 this year he bought more cheese than he paid £ 70 for last year ! Woollen cloths are depreciated in price ; and Wagts of all sorts are depreciated also !! " Free Trade , " then , has had its effect . It has " ¦ cheapened " all things : all things except taxes , and tax eaters .
Taxes it has not lessened ! Nor has it lessened the salaries of the Officers of State , or the dividends of the " National Creditor , " or the pensions of the " Pretty Ladiee , " or the allowances of the Dead Weight people ! Free-Trade has cheapened" provisions : but to whom ? To the labourer ? No . His wages are reduced . ' and reduced , too , more than the amount of the difference between the " dear" and the " cheap" price of food . To the Tradesmen , or the professional ? He has his Income-tax to pay ! and if the Tariff saves him that amount , it does all that Peel promised him . Besides , a reduction' of prices involves a reduction of profits . Generally speaking ,
a certain per centage is the rate of profit in all cases . Reduce the gross amount , and there is a less gross amount of profit . To make-up an income from profits , under such circumstances , requires an increased amount of business . Does the Revenue show an increased amount of business ! If so , why ia there a falling off \ Why is there a deficiency I To whom , then , is provisions cheapened . " To the tax-eater ! To all who bave fixed incomes ! To all whose money-means bave not been decreased These have benefited , and benefited largely too , by the Free-trade-produced lownesa of prices of produce .
And , in the nature of things , this must be so . Every reduction of prices of produce must entail additional suffering and additional burdens , upon all who live by labour and by profits : while every such reduction must add to the means of the pensioner , tbe place-man , the salaried officer , and every one whose amount of income is fixed . Would not a Repeal of the Corn Laws , to do again what Peel ' s Bill of 1826 did in tbe great , and . what Peel ' s Tariff of 1842 did in the less , be a blessing \ Who feel ? inclined , after the woeful experience we have had , to try it \

TO F . O'CONNOR , ESQ .
Dear Sir , —We have been informed by some of tbe leading Whips of Nottingham , that you was so mean as to accept of £ 28 . for lecturing , and otherwise assisting at Mr . J . Sturge ' 8 contest ** ith Mr . J . Walter , senior , and likewise that you went to Mr . John Rogers , one of the rich Whig leaders , ( at the late contest between Mr . Gisborne and Mr . John Walter , junior , ) and demanded of tbat gentleman £ 19 . for your services , and Mr . Rogers told you he had no funds for such purposes , And farther , we have been informed tbat at Mr . Sturge ' s conteat you applied for , and received £ 5 . for a gentleman who was very active in that election , and only paid over to him £ 3 , and pockelted the other £ 2 . Dear Sir , these reports , with a variety of others of a similar
character , are very industriously circulated , ; therefore we think it our duty to inform you of the reports that you may bave an opportunity of setting yourself right , as we bave too much confidence in you to believe anything to your injury . We therefore leave it to yourself , assured tbat you can pat a stopper upon these reports , as for ourselves we are prepared to vindicate your character by publishing your answer in any of our town papers , or iu any other way you think best . You can publish this communication in the Star if you please , and we can give you names if you desire it . We are , Dear Sir , Yours with all sincerity , Joun Baglet , James Woodhouse , Thomas Wright ..
P . S—The Whigs do ' nt like purity of election , neither do they like to have a Six-point man forced upon them . No , Sir , they can ' t bear it , and that is the secret of all their lying and calumny . My Friends , —I have much pleasure in publishing your letter just as it is . I never got one farthing from Sturge or any other man for any service . I never heard of Rodgers till your letter announced that there was such a person . I would be more
likely to give him alms than ask him for charity Do not mind what those ruffians say . Why does not Sturge ' s Secretary publish his account of the expenses , as I asked him ? Sturgo owes me anew hat , and the price of a warm plaster . Tell them that Cobden , Villiers , Thompson , and the Leaguers travel , eat , and drink at the expense of the poor slaves whom they force to subscribo : that I travel , eat , and drink at my own expense , and not at yours or theirs . Your faithful , unpaid friend , Feargus O'Connor . Leeds , Wednesday .

The Books op the late Executive . — We have received fr om some person , who calls himself Arthur O'Neill , the following notice , with a request for its insertion : — " TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONCERN . " I beg to inform all who are interested in tbe matter , and who are not aware of the fact , that Mr . John Campbell , ere his departure for America , placed in my possession tbe books of the National Charter Assoctaiion , together with a large number of Cards of Membership , the which I was to retain until the sum of £ 16 15 s . 9 £ < i . due to him by tbe Association , as salary for services performed , be duly paid and satisfied ; " These instructions I am determined to abide by , without reference to the opinions of any ; and am prepared to enter into any arrangement consistent with them , as well as to produce Mr . Campbell ' s authority for representing his interests in this affair . " . Arthur ONeiel . " 180 , High Holborn , ! London , "May 9 , 1843 . "
We have another letter on the same subject from Mr . Thomas Copeland , Waterloo Town , who says that , on the Saturday after ** honest" John ' s departure , he went to the shop 180 , High Holborn , and there found Mr . O'Brien , who informed him that the Association books had been placed in his hands , with similar instructions to those spoken of by this Arthur O'Neill . To which of the two therefore , or whether to either of them , the honour of being Mr . CampbelPs accomplice jairly appertains , we do not pretend to say . Jakes Smith , Somer ' s Tov / n . — We cannot furnish the information he requests . Jahes Branton , Manchester . — We have many communications on the subject , and shall give a succinct view ef them all—Mr . Branton ' s among the rest .
John Smart , Aberdeen , must take a like answer . Glasgow and Greenock . — We regret much that private and local differences should exist , among Chartists—still more that they should be made public .
