another M . P . on the platform , -whs In good or in bad "weather bad always stool by the 1-working classes . That man -was Thomas Dancombe , 31-q — ( lond cheers ) —trnd -without exaggerating he boheved be might safely say that if the majority of { the Irish nation demanded Repeal , Mr . Duncombe -would be ready to concede it . The -whole nation did demand it ; and he cautioned them not to make a bad ose of the present meeting . He thanked God that sl ' tLoagh the union had been once passed , it was no condemnation to Ireland : because they appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland sober . There was no statute of limitation for a people ' s rightB ; and if there was , ; they must prore that the compact had been adhered to . The whole ei « ht articles of the Union had feeed violated ere the
isk -with which they -were written -was dry . It might o : ce have been difficult to have men an agitation for Repeal , if justice bad beai granUd ' .: but now it was too late . How -was that Union achieved ? Was it not ¦ when the withering blast of corruption had j > sralj zsd * he arm of irCustry aid crinuoBtd ? he £ teen fields of Ireland -with the blood of her children ; t&en -w&Bthe U » ion wafted across the tairted Atlantic gile , and forced upon a rieft-nerifcM people when the guardians of her glory 3-ptc ciUier cocss ^ Bed to a graTe , px banished their native Jaud .

They wanted a Beptsl of ihe Union , and a aan to carry In bis own person the ' . title deed to the franchise . Give them these things , ; and they wonld
speedDy deal satisfactorily and with justice to the Protestant Church . They wotfd say 'to her , you hava blighted and made sterile a fertUa land ; you have deluged our lovely plains -with blood ; go ! and do ptEsnce by being in f utute good scd htly . As lovera of Irthmd , tbey were called npon to do something definite . They could expecct no justice fr * m an Encii ^ h Paiiismtnt .

It was almost an insoit to bis countrymen , after their loDg-ccctlEnsDc © 111 -well doing , to remind them of their duty ; bTit Iieland -was -watching that meeting with intense anxiety . If that meeting declared for som& petty 'justice '' for Ireland , and aot for Repeal , H would be a death-blow to the R' peal question In England . He trusted they would not part until they had incorporated the Bepeal in the Address to the Queen . Mr . Q'CjBcer then conceded , amidst tumultuous sppkuse . Mr . BE ? FET RlDlET rose to prpposi ? an cmfnilmeni , but was met with determined opposition by Mr . Parrti , and others of the Committee , who asserted that owing to Six . F . not being an inhabitant of thu BoreugS , he could not move an amendment Mr . Ridley maiBtained his claim as paying rent in the Borcugh . and after considerable confusion , and a vain attempt to get a good hearing , be handed the following cmendment to tile Cnairman , who ' read ii to the meeting : —
"That in the opinion of this meeting , tho conduct pursued by the present and late Government towards the sister state ef Iieiand , has been unjust and ijrannicil ; « t «^ -we are further of opinion that the Irish nation has an undoubted right to rid itself of tbe oppressor ' a yeke in any way -which inay seem most fitting to Itself . "We therefore most cordially avmpatMzs -with them in tbrir endeavours to procure a Kcpeal of the legislative Ualon , and -will co-operate with them to tbe furthest extentin our power . " Order having been restored , Sir . Kidlet spoke at srsme Itngib io favour of the amendment , and -earned them lesit they again fell into the hands of the blood-Ksinsd factions . He thought the present meetii / g -sraB a feeler , put forth by tho Whig *; and he truste . 1 thry ^ ouid defeat J it and vote for tte amendment and " Bspeal . -
2 Jr . Fussell seconded the resolution , but was unable lo obtain an hearing , in conjtquecce of the call for M ? . Dancombe . Mr . T . DDSCOMBB , MJP- « aid he had ; felt it his duty to attend that meeting , not only because he had been invited to do eo by the Committee who made the arrangements fox holding it , but btcausa he had also received an invitation from the -working classesicheers ) . He would assnre them , tbat lif that meeting hs . 1 been intended to be a Whig meeting he , would not have ices there to take part in endeavouring t « bolster tp that old , and he hoped defunct policy . They were there , he trusted , for much higher and nobler objects ; they -were there to declare aa Englishmen , -wSetber in tfci 3 crisis of ths "wrongs of the insulted and icjored
people of Ireland , they would range tbe : nsfclT £ 3 on the side of their oppressors , ct whether justice should bs cone both to the people of England and-of Ireland . He regretted that the last resolution had n > t been moved as En addition to the former one , as they -were not in the least inconsistent with each other . What did it declare Why , that if the people of Ireland felt thaf they could have no redress for tbeia -wrongs without it , they had a light to demand the Repeal ef the Union—( bear , and cheers ) . That was bis opinion—( hear , hear ) . They had a just right to demand the Repeal of an Act of Parliament . ( A female in the mating , " And -we'll have it" ) ( Laushter . ) This Act of ParlLanent -was concocted in fraud and executed in injustice ; and the Irish had a right to demand its repeal . They had
heard that the Government would go to war with Irelaud Tathei than concede the Repeal . ; In fact , gentlemen in the House of CommeuB talked of civil -war with Ireland , with as much levity , and with as much glee , as they -would pass a Tnmplke jBill or - » ote a Royal pension—( hear ) . But they on ; ht to recollect that in conducting a civil warr or anyi other war , th ^ Government must have the consent and cordial cooperation of thB people to carry it on—( hear , hearj . Was the country prepared to support a civil war with Ireland , in order to continue the injustice of htr rultrs ? —hear , hear ) . Were they prepared to tdo so in order to bolster up a Tory Administration , which was tha laughing stock of Ireland , and the contempt of England ? Ha wts quite satisfied that the people of England -would say from one end of England to the other , that on the very first . shot which this despicable G <> - vernHient sh'sald fiie , the v « y firsts word which should
be fctaaned with Iiuh blood , the civil ; -war would not be confined to Ireland—I ' -oud che&is . ) \ The people of this country had a long account to settle -with former Governments ; and instead of joining in this unholy crusade against their Irish fellow-subjects , they are much more likely to unite hands Trith Ireland , in resenting their mutual oppressions and in redressing their mntml ¦ wrongs . With regard to jthe question to be settled by the meeting ; if the resolution did not convey to the peeple of Ireland that they had a » £ ht to demand Repeal , be hoped they -would pass ths amendment ; though bethought tbat the amendment might have been very properly added to the resolution , as thby -were perfectly consistent with « ach other . A * , all events be trusted that they should cot permit aov -war to be levied , for the purpose of depriving a nobie and generous people of those rights and privileges , -which both the constitution and their own intelliganw fcntided ibtm to to demand *—( ttre&t cheering . )
Mx . Fdsskli . rose for the purpose of stating tha * be and hia friend had no objection the to amendment being put as an addition to the resolution . The Irish people yptre told by their influential leader , G'Conneliicheers )—that he had no hope from the Imperial Parliaments tbat hia only hope "was in | haviitg power placed in the hands of the people . The gentlemen t . n ibe platform said Ibis "wonldidtstroy the influence asd dignity of the British empire . To what good or hol > purpose had British dignity or influence [ ever been employed ? Had not the British Government joined in every tyrannical and unholy scheme ? j Was aho not locked upon as an oppressive tyrant by rarrouadiEj ; nations ? The Repeal of the Union -would break and divide the strength of the aristocracy j and if it did sought else , that alone made it worth while to seek for a Repeal of the Union . !
Mr . Has KM haring been londly calif a for , recommended them , although In a Ruling School , tot to gallop too fast } bnt te agree to receive the amecdmant as an addition , 3 ? or tha last eleven } yeti 3 be had devoted his services to the cause of Ireland ; and he dtnied that Repeal-was the cry of despair , or the wail of agony . It -waslhe « ry of hope , the assertion of confidence , and the opening dawn of s . glorious fatcre . Mr . X > auielS had nto list "justice to lreJand * wonla prostrate the standard of litpe&l ; but the meeting convinced him that he was no " Dsnieljaoinetojniignis ^ f Mi . H . thai alluded to the dismissal of magistrates . It seemed an emblem that if they were to have no justice , they were also to hare no justices . He also commented upon the Ignorance displayed by G-jveinment regarding Ireland ; and ^ expressed his pleasure at seeing *> msny m . P ' s present ; trusting that en the next divKion they should have their vote ? , provided no ball -was in too wej .

Mr . R . Gwen attempted to address the assembly , but there was so much noise in the body of the nu-eting , ' sshich -ws 3 now packed to suffocation , that he could not obtain a hearing . Mr . Kyezeb . . of Tottenbam-cfturt-road , next addr £ 888 d tb ; a meeting in a spirit -which excited a good deal of merriment , fcat of which we could not collect a single Bentecco , not only on account of the roais of laughter with which he was interrupted , but ) the peculiar art ? cnlafcion ot the speaker . Mr . Owen again presented himself . As we
understood , he wished the meeting to inquire what were the causes of the excitement which prevailed in Scotland , Wales , England , and Ireland ? He asked what was the cause that , in- tbe midst of all abundant means of vfealth , t £ erd -was so roach , distress and misery , Ignorance , disorder , and starvation . The meeting became bo impatient and noisy that it -was impossible to gather more than that Mr . Owen contended that by their union the people had in their own power the means of terminatig their misery , and changing the face of the country and the state of society , to peace , happiness , and abundance .
The Chaieman then read the resolution by itself and also rwith the amendment as an addition ; a few words having been left out to prevent tautology . When the-vote-was taken , almost every hand was held up for the motion -with the addition ; while not a dozen appeared for the original resolution . This decision was Tfcfrived Wilh treiHsndons cheering . Mr . Baksh moved the following resolution : - " That this meeting has heard with deep regret the opinion avowed by the principal Secretary of State for the Home Department , 'that concession towards the Irish people had reached its limits , ' from which they ate led to apprehend the adoption of a course of coercive policy towards Ireland , which can have no other tfiWet than to exasperate tbe feelings without removing Ithe Uisconttuts of our fellow subjects in that country . "
Mr . Biaer expressed bis hope tbat the Act of Union might be Repealed by a better act , and bis belief that the people of Ireland would feel delighted when they heard that thousands of the inhabitants of the Metropolis hod made a demonstration oa their behalf . Mr . Sat AGE seconded the resolution . Having been many years connected with the Chartist body , he had stated his belief that Sir B . Hall would act fairly in the chair , and that if they dealt fairly by the Chartists , they -would not regret calling & public meeting in the BoTotieB of 3 l 3 Tyleboue . Sir Chaih . es Napier , M . P . for tbe Borough , supported the retolution in a sailor-like speech ; but happening to fall foul of the Repeal question , b < 3 was upteniiy sent to tbe light about , amid considerable disfiatisfaction . The resolution was unanimously carried . Mr . Smart moved the third and fourth resolutions combined , as follows : —
" That this meeting considers that the present state of feeling in Ireland is to be attributed to a long-continued sjBttm of injustice in all departments of Government ; to the maintenance ef an extravagant State Chu- > -ch , -which tbe people of that country are compelled to support , -while it prescribes a fora of worship not in cccordsjxe with tbe religious feelings of a sreat majority cf the population ; to tho extremely defective state cf tbo elective franchise and the municipal laws ; and ; to the unsatisfactory state of the laws ' relative to landlord and tenant . And that a memorial be afldresBBa lo her Mnjesty , embodjung the foregoing resolutions , p : njh > g that she may be pleased to take
the £ > 3 me into her most gracious consideration , that a stop may be put to coercive measures ; that such a wise , just , and conciliatory policy may be promoted as -will advance both Political and Ecclesiastical Reform ; that htr- Majesty wilL give to her Irish subj < scta an ( quality of In wa with Great Britain ; and confer respect on there laws by securing the impartial distribution cf justice ; aad should the Government not immediately propose to Parliament such measareB &s may tranquili 3 e tbe present disturbed state of Ireland , by placing all cla&scs of that country npon an equality with their fellow-t , uhj ? cta of Great Britain ; this meeting further prays her Mr . jesty to dismiss her present advisers , and appeal to the tens 8 of the people . "
Mr . F . VTTHE seconded the resolution , in a speech of considerable ability . SHAEJUN Chawfohd , M . P ., in an excellent address , supported the reaoiuuou . He rejoiced at seeing such an immense mtuting . It was a proud day for Ireland , and vindleatt-d Euglaod ' s character from her Tory defaniera . He was glad that in one of tbe resolutions they had inculpated the late , as well aa the present , Government ; for although the Whigs governed Ireland better in the Executive department , yet they were tyrannical rulers ; and in their Coercion and Arms ' Bills , had laid the foundation of the present attempted coercive measures . The Whigs were , therefore , rightly inculpated . ' With regard to the Repeal question , no one in that room had been more sincerely attached to
British connection ; and he had not yet joined the Re-Bealers lest ' he should injure that connection . He had clung to the hope that Parliament -would yet do justice to Ireland . He had clung to the hope tbat the English people -R-ruld do justice to Ireland , and in tbe latter hope be had not been deceived ; but when he saw his countrymen'insulted by an Arms' Bill , and her magistrates dismissed for impressing their opinions , then he asserted Ireland ha 4 a right to resent these insults in any inanner : she thought proper .

Pashley arid J » lr . pvEREND oopdnoted th 8 prosecution j Mr . Wickjks defended Fierpoint , and Mr . Bliss appeared oa behalf of Jackson . I On the 6 th of June last , the day on which this ocourrjpnoe took place ; , a feast was being held at Masbro , ' near Rotherham , and about eleven o'clock on the night of that { day , there were a number of persons , among whom were the prisoners at the bar , and a man of the name of Myers , who took part in the attack upon the deceased , but was not in custody , in a room at , the public-house , at Masbro . called the
"[ Station Inn / " Theyiwere up stairs , and there was dancing and a good deal of drinking going on . The dancing was conducted pretty quietly till about halfpast one o ' clock next ! morning , when the circumstances connected wiih thia affray commenced . Sumo of the parties were a good deal tho worse lor liquor . Tne deceased came up stairs , and having used some provoking language , a $ cufn * e took place between him and Myers ; ageneral row followed , twelve or fourteen of the party paired themselves off , and began to fight . A ? ter the disturbance ; bad subsided a little , the deceased , ' who appeared to have bten very ill treated , was taken down stairs , where he complained of ^ reat pain . Af ter this , when the deceased was on the ground , Jackson was observed to go up to the
accused and jump upon his body twice . Pierponl also strode over him , raised him from the floor by the coat collar , gave him a violent kick on the left side , just below the ribs , and threw him down again on the floor . Myers was also seen to kick tho deceased whilst l y ing on the ground . About four o ' clock ho was eeen on his road home , apparently in great pain ; and again , three hours later , ho was seen b y a second party on the road side in th < same condition . Ou his arrival at home , a medical man was called in ; but his ] endeavours to sate his life w ^ re fruitless , and ho expired , after suffering great pain for about twenty-four hours , A p- > st mortem examination was made , and it was found tbat death had been caused by a rupture of the bowela , which , in ; the opinion of the surgeon , had been produced by external violence . ;
Mr . Bua 9 t on the part of Jackson , submitted that the evidence Was contradictory , and insufficient to fix tho charge on him : and -Mr . Wilkiks , on behalf of Picrpoint , contended that the evidence , and especially that of the medical man , proved that the death of the deceased had been caused not by a kick on ! tho ribs , but by a blow on the body , which it had been shown had been inflicted by Myers , the man not in custody .. Myers was the man with whom the deceased first came in Contact , and it had been proved that before the violence , which at an after part of tho proceedings was spoken tf . he ( Myers ) had inflicted on the deceased such injuries as , ac * cording to tbe medical" m&u's evidence , would produce the result and appearance which he hffd described .
The Learned Judge summed up with great minuteness . Tho questions for tho consideration of the Jury were , whether tho evidence , which left the matter id considerable doubt , was sufficient to fix the charge upon Jackson , and whether Pierpoint was acting in concert with Myers , and took part in ii' -flicting those injuries which caused the death of the deceased . The Jury retired to consider their verdict , and after an absence of twenty miuutes , thuy returned into Court with a verdict of Acquittal in favour of both the prisoners . Wm . Hargreaves , pleaded Guilty to the manslaughter of John Holder , at Bradford , on the 29 th of [ April last . Mr .
