¦ fCo f power- " We , the Cabinet , will it p 8 the * " ' ^ rfe now proceed to consider { he grounds on Vch Mr O'Connor based Mb motion . He Start argue the case as one of pounds , shilfffs and pence ; he did not enter into long { Sedations of exports and imports ; he did t mak e the whole gi « t of the question one of XUroercial prosperity , " as the modern politi--j ec onomists invariably'do—a prosperity that aV be , and , owing to mismanagement , in Sit instances is , concomitant with popnlar = ery ; he did not argue the question as one ^ onevbags , but as one of mm—as one of &Tniter ' B
' alt As a c ° n < luerea country , Ireland had a 2 ht to resist oppression ; and if there had lL any thing binding in the Act of Union , ** zL one of its provisions had been broken , La a contract broken by the one party could r , tbe binding on the other . Tbat ^ Jnion , toO Was carried by bribery and intimidationrte ' lrish people had no voice in the mattera co rrupt parliament of hirelings had voted 8 ffay the inalienable rights of their country . jj , e " arguments of the Honourable Gentleman ^ re un answerable , and there was not even to them
jn ^ attempt answer . Nor was it nece ssary , for the Janissaries were at their post . But the words of Mr O'Connor were |^ fied 3 and let it go forth to the world—the jlinistry were afraid of having their conduct { o Irel and investigated . But those years of j ^ ck tyranny , without one gleam of sunshine guoss them , speak for themselves . Ireland speaks for herself . "Wh y do a people starve upon a fertile soil , beneath a clement sky , and 3 gen ial clime ? Because they are aliens in their own country—paupers on their
hereditary land—slaves in the mansions of their fethers ! Because their collective wealth is drawn away at the point of the bayonet , laause the ships come empty and go away { all , from their magnificent harbours ; because a sffarm of foreign usurers and middlemen h ave got their vice-like grasp upon the country , and while they drain it to pander to tie rioting of absentee landlords , drain it ig ain to . make fortunes for themselves ; because industry is a crime , bearing a heavy penalty , since , when a man has enriched his
little holding by his labour , that suffices for lis eviction , and letting his land at higher rent to another , a victim in his turn . Repeal « uld do much to remedy this . A Parliament under the very eyes , within reach of the very voices of the people , dare not play such pr anks before the world , * as when girded by torruption ' s citadel , St Stephen ' s . And , it is to be hoped , the Irish people having gained Bepeal , will return men worthy to be their Representatives to College Green . To enable them to do this , we trust they will obtain
political power ; and , possessed of their native Soil , the Franchise , and Repeal , Irishmen may indeed behold their country become i"I 6 e first flower of the earth and flrrt gem of the s « a . " While , however , the Legislative Union is repealed , we hope to see the union of the English and Irish people more closely cem ented with every day ; a union of feeling , | a tnion of interests , a union of liberty . "When Irish and English are united in the great cause
cfmutual freedom , monopoly must go down before them . This faction knows , and , therefore , it has endeavoured to breed reciprocal htreds and jealousies between them by every means in its power . These are vanishing tefore the truth—the mighty truth—that the sane hand which has crushed Ireland , is heavy ei the heart and strength of England , too -and the words of the poet are being
manifested"A feUow . fc Kng makes « ivoaSnnKtiad . " "IrelandfortteIrish ! " and "England for Ife English ' " is the mutual cry . Let it be touted , side by side—from John o' Groats to Connemara—from the Giant ' s Causeway to the Cliffs of Dover—it will be the knell of oppression—it will be the birth-peal of freedomfor the solitary fortresses of tyranny must auk before the confluence of our united nations .

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Ireland , in several of the phases of that most difficult and complicated of State pro-Hems , has entirely occupied the attention of lie Legislature this week . On Monday , Coercion ; Tuesday , Repeal ; Wednesday , Roman Catholic Disabilities ; and then , on ftmrsday , back again to Coercion ; the notices of motions which had been given b y members on various subjects for that evening , bring been withdrawn in order that the delate on the second reading might proceed .
The debate and the division of Monday nght , amply justified the motion and the debate of Tuesday . The easy unconsciousness « ith which Sir G . Grey requested Mr O'Connor to postpone his motion , for an inquiry into the causes of the degradation and misery of Ms native country , in order that the Government might be enabled to proceed more rapidly with another measure , cast in the some mould as those which have for so many tatnries oppressed Ireland , was of itself a proof of the necessity of such an inquiry . It
turned a complete ignorance of the state of eeHng in Ireland , with reference to English Ration , and an extraordinary oblivioussss of the natural emotions of humanity Slider such circumstances , which would , if such tiangs happened in any other country , excite Especial wonder . But , as Lord Bacon has July said , «; Man is a bundle of habits , "and the % lish have been so long accustomed to look jty on Ireland and Irishmen in much the same % it as the benevolent fish woman regarded the fck , that they have at last imperceptibly perked themselves , that skinning alive is a
Process the Irish have got quite used to , and &re nothing about it . Into the question of Repeal , or the topics ^ braced in Mr O'Connor ' s elaborate speech ° support of his motion , it is not requisite to fliter here , these questions haying been com-Kented upon in previous articles . But the banner in which an influential section of the ' rish members stood by their colours on that ttasion , forgetting whatever personal or ^ ty motives they mig ht have heretofore k 4 to induce them to act otherwise , was most
Stable to them , and is a hopeful omen of J ^ ter times for the country they represent . ™ e strength of England has always consisted , ^ agreat degree , in the divisions and differ-^ % s which have existed amongst Irishmen , ^ igious and political feuds have been the ^ e fo undations of English supremacy—and ^ repeat that , small as the minority was * liich voted with the Hon . Member for Not-^ gaam , it comprised names which , give pro" ?* of better days for Ireland in the good " 5 ? coming .
^ e hesitate not to say that Repeal , as a fott icd question , wasimmensely advanced by ™* debate on Tuesday night . After the lapse " znanp years , it was rescued from the position 'fa mere empty bmtumfulmm , and once more i ^ before Parliament as a substantive ? ° < stion , with which , in future , it will have to ^ P ple . Of course its first reception was pre-Ny what might have been expected . Secure 111 majority , the minister barely conde-^ nded to reply , and the short speech in which I * announced his determination to refuse the !?? % , consisted' more of personal allusions to
r * manner of the hon . mover , than any atrtyt to answer the matter of his address . In H . he felttbat the majority was large enough * dispense with the use of reason or argument •" fte occasion , and he substituted somewhat ? Percilious personalities instead . Of the well tjd forces at the command of the various ?* ions , not one , with the exception of Mr ^ oawny , opened his lips ; and that precocious p * K man evidently did so with the view of Jjj g off a pop-gun , which he had not the op-J ^ unity of discharging the previous night on J * subject of Coercion . Despairing , we J ^ "ne , of being more successful in future , he t ?™ lucky chance , and was as imperti-^ both In manner and matter , *? as could be

Mr Walter evidently wanted to he wittv . but his Jlt ^
at Otttoe miserabl y broke down , and were at length transmuted into feelings of bitter mortification and real hostility . Two or three Tit " ? ^ totions , and the principal wielder ot the thunder of Printing-house-square , will discover that whatever he maybe in the classic regions of Blackfnars , he is at a discount in Westminster . Despite , however , the superciliousness of the Home-Secretary , the silence of the rank and file ot the factions , and the impatient and unmannerl y interruptions at the dose of the debate , we repeat that the discussion , as ? a
whole , materially advanced the question . Each subsequent discussion will place it more and more in the position of a practical matter which must he settled , and that too in the right way—namely , by carrying it . If it be constantl y and judiciousl y kept before the Legislature and the Public , it must be carried at no distant day . The events of the last few years have very much tended to open the eyes of the English people , to the real merits of the question ; and from extensive experience of the feelings of various parties and classes , we are pre pared to say that . thepuWic opinion on this subvery
Je iJ ; ^ greatly changed . "Whether fr em selfishness , or a conviction of the justice of the demand , many who but a short time since would have sneered down the slightest mention of Repeal , now listen complacently aud approvingly to the arguments by which * it is supported . lOur own conviction is that it presents the only means of really elevating Ireland in the scale of nations . Exotic Governmenthas been tried for centuries in that island . We all see its results . Whatever the consequencesbf selfgovernment may be , it is altogether impossible they can be worse than those which flow from our present system .

The Irish members gallantl y struggled against the Coercion Bill on Monday night . In availing themselves of every constitutional obstruction to the progress of that measure , they are only doing justice to their country . It is a maxim of English law , that it is better to let ten guilty persons escape , than unjustly condemn one innocent individual . But the very reverse of this ^ applied to Ireland for the crimes of a few individuals , whose districts are to be deprived of tbe protection of
the laws and rendered liable to all the evils of a suspension of the constitution . There is neither justice nor reason in such a course , and we repeat , that in opposing its adoption , the Irish members are doing their duty .. Ireland will also see with gratitude thejnoble and determined part borne by Mr O'Connor and Mr Wakley , the only two English members who have throughout consistentl y voted for justice to Ireland .
Upon the inconsistent , if not ' treacherous conduct of Dillon Browne , and " the equally singular position taken by Henry Grattan , we reserve comment at present . Time will probably soon show to what influences we are to attribute the "Jem Crowism" of the former gentleman , at all events .

THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Notice to Subscribers . —Having been consulted upon the legality and propriety of continuing the distinction as to sections amongst the present and future subscribers to the National Land Company , I beg to say that neither tbe act of the 7 th and 8 th Viet . cap . 110 , for registering and regulating Joint Stock Companies , nor the deed of settlement of this company , which has been prepared and settled by counsel in accordance with the provisions of that act . does recognise or allow of any such
distinction , but requires that all the subscribers should be considered as one 6 ody having equal rights and liabilities , if any , in proportion to the number of shares held by each , and tbe amount paid up in respect of such shares . That the distinction into sections is therefore contrary to . the Act qfPafUa : went , aud the company ' s deed of settlement , aud shonl ' d be immediately abolished . W . ProwtingRobebts , Sol . to the Company . . Per G . W . Chinert .
It will be seen from the above notice that the division of the Company into sections is not in accordance with law , and must therefore he immediately abandoned . The present five sections will , consequently , be amalgamated , and the Company will henceforth exist as one body . In consequence of this alteration in the Company ' s proceedings , branch Secretaries will please to observe that all future remittances of money must be set forth under the following heads , and in the following order : — £ e . a . Land Money ... ... Expense Fond ... ... ...

Gosport . —A public lecture was delivered at the Sceptre Ian , New Town , Gosport , last week , ' . by Mr Joha ., Sidaway , subject : — ' Tho rise , progress , and future prospects of the National Land Company . '? At half-past seven o ' clock , Mr Porter , local preacher , was called to the chair . Mr Sidaway was received with cheers . lie said nothing pleased him more than to look around that room , and see so many faces he had seen at his last appearance in Gosport . He had then told them that the land was the remedy for existing evils ; Mighty changes had talten place in the ' commercial world , since he was last in that room . The breaking of banks had been a daily occurrence . Publio works had been suspended , but tbe operations of the National Land Company had progressed . A
great amount of capital had been added to their funds , a large estate had been purchased , and 100 families had been drawn from the slave market . Mr Sidaway then narrated the commencement ot the company in 1845 . Showed the opposition it received from Lloyd ' s trash . Mr Sidaway then proceeded to defend the character of Mr O'Connor from the Blander of his foes and pretended friends of the people . He next showed how the Company had progressed in all parts of England , Scotland , Ireland , and France . Mr Sidaway then entered into the banking question , showing what an excellent opportunity it was for men of cash and benefit- societies to invest their property , where ¦ land was the security ; not promises te pay <• The National Land- and Labour
Bank could pay this moment 21 ? . for every pound sterling received . Why ? Because the cash was invested not in gambling speculations , but buildings and Land . ' Mr Sidaway then Bhowed the effect the society would produce in the Labour market , and ultimately on- the representative system . Re concluded a very able and interesting lecture of nearly two hours length , amidst the cheers of the meeting ; The chairman then asked if any one had any questions to put to the lecturer . Mr Malcolm , the delegate to the meeting held at Southampton , in October last , to procure a better organisation of- the counties of Hants , Dorset , and Wilts , said he rose for the purpose of denying the assertions of the lecturer , that the Land Plan was the only euro means of
obtaining the Charter . He denied this . The Land Plan had not superseded the agitation ior the Charter ? lie was not a member of the Land Company , and all the eloquence and talent of the lecturer would not persuade him to be one . The land was the people ' s , and theyhad | a right to it , without purchasing it from those who had stolen it from the people . The Land Plan had done no good for the Charter . , He condemned the conduct of the Land lecturers , they were employing their talents ir » explaining the Land Joint Stock Company , at the Bamo time neglecting the Charter . Mr Sidaway rose , to reply . —Hecon . tended the Land Flan had kept the Charter alive
The Chartist exchequer waa empty > ior to the commencement of the Land Company , lie was as well awnreas his opponent , that the LandNyas the people ' s , and that the Norman thief had stolen it some centuries since , but did that Batisfy the present generation in turning land robbers ?—he contended it did hot .

thw would soontahow what could be done at the poll for Chartism . MrSidaway'fesumed hiaseaUmidst applauBe . m Mr Stroud , of Porteea , was of Mr Sidawaj ' Bopfnwn , much had been done by the Land Company to spread Chartism . The chairman said he knew nothing of the charter prior to becoming a member of the Land Company ; he was now a Chartist , thanks to Mr DouglaBg , their secretary . Mr Westlake wai ignorant of Chartism till he was a member of the Gosport Land Company ; he was now a decided Charti » t , and be believed thousands were like him converted through the Lind agents and
, the lectures . Mr John Douglass was surprised at Mr Malcolm ' s conduct , there was scarce a Land member but was new a Chartist . It was false that they had given up the Charter . He held in his hand » letter from the Chartist Executive , acknowledging 5 s . from the Gosport branch , for the agitation of the Chartist principles . ( Loud cheers ) Mr Malcolm made another attempt , using his former arguments . Mr Sidaway replied to bis mis-assertions . After a few remarks from the chairman , and an unanimous vote of thanks to Mr Sidaway and the chairman , the meeting separated at a late hour .
MR WEST'S T 0 URIN DEVONSHIRE . In my last I promised an account of an interesting ' discussien . I held in Torquay , with Mr Vivian , a banker and resident magistrate , but circumstances prevent me from doing more than britflv glancing over it . On my arrival in Torquay , the friends informed me that Mr Vivian was a bitter opponent of Chartism aiid the Land Plan , and that I must be prepared for opposition . They were determined to dotheir part , and nobly did they perform it , The room where the meeting was held was a large cement manufactory , belonging to Messrs Webber and Hall . The Mads ' of Torquay had it splendidl y decorated with laurels and evergreene , and mottoes of the Six Points of the Charter , ' Frost , Williamsand Jone ?*
, , 'The Charter and No Surrender , ' Ac , whilst at the entrance to the place of meeting there was a largeflae ; . hoisted tuast high , bearing the inscription National Land Company . ' In the evening a splendid band paraded the street ? , to the evident dismay and cbagrinof the aristocratic residents , who resortto this genial climate to escape the rieour of the 7 Soo Lf * | 'S ? i ! r i ' ^ PaNe of hoWinB 1 , 000 persons , waa filled to suffocation . Mr Prowse . an extensive brewer was called to the chair . As I had to lecture two nights , the first subjwt wasths Charter . In the middle of my discourse , up rose Mr Vivian , and asked whether they wee to have a lecture or a discussion , as he did not wish me to speak as long as I had done in other places ? He was then
proceeding to make a speech , when he was stopped by the chairman , who said it was contrary to all rule , to proceed in such a manner , that I should be a-lowed to finish my lecture , and then any person would be at liberty to make what remarks he thought proper ; Mr Vivian replied , if I would conclude by nine o ' clock , he would discuss the matter with me . I immediately agreed to forego my lecture , and at ono « commence the discussion . Seeing my readiness to meet him , he thought to skulk out , by saying ha would not discuss the Six Points , which was the mere machinery of government , but he would discuss the substantial measures which the Chartists were inclined to carry out , I replied , that his refusal to dispute thejusticeofthe Charter , wassroof that ha
could notsuccessfully do so , butrather than he shoa'd run away , I would meet him on his own terms , and named haphazard , the necessity for a separation of Church and State , an equitable adjustment of the debt , an alteration in the Currency lawB . justice to Ireland , the new Poor Law , and others . By theories of the meeting , he was compelled to come upon the platformi vrhenitwas arranged we should have tea minutes each to speak . The discussion lasted upwaids of two hours , and never did I enjoy such pleasure in my life as following this Whig through his tortuous windings , and exposing hiB canting fallacies .
He thought to excite the prejudices of the people by sneering at me for being an Irishman , and telling me I had enough to do in my own country without coming there , but I administered to him a castigation that he won't forget in a hurry . The enthusiasm of tbe meeting knew no bounds , indeed , the Wester * Times , a bitter , enemy , waB forced to acknowledge that nine-tenths . of the meeting were in my favour . The good that this discussion has done has yet to be estimated . There is only one thing I regret , the pressure at the door was bo great that one of the forms gave way , and a young man had his lee broken .
On Tuesday , I proceeded to Totness , and had a fine meeting in the Guildhall , but no opposition . Brother Tanner moved a vote of confidence in Mr O'Connor , which was seconded by Mr Mitchell , and carried unanimously . Mr Tanner ' s speech , aa secretary , was most appropriate and tellinp . On Wednesday I returned to Torquay , and learned that the ' respectables' ( bless the mark !) had been to Mr Hall ' s , to induce him to refuse me tbe use of the room . His reply was —I never heard Chartism before , but if that he Clmrtism , if 1 had a church , they should have it . At night there , were hundreds round the doors before they were opened , and I had great difficulty to obtain admittance . The place was even more crowded than before . Mr Proivse aeaintook
the chair . The lecture was on the 'Land Plan ' which I fully entered into for upwards of two hours ; and though Mr Vivian k a great opposent of the Land Plan , and in addition to being a banker and magistrate , is also a cow keeper and milkseller to the aristocracy of the place , yet he did not make his appearance , wisely concluding that 'discretion is the better part of valour . And here let me pay a just tribute to tbe brave men of Torquay . They are sober , thoughtful , and determined , and fully equal to the be 3 t Chartists I have met in any district of Yorkshire or Lancashire ; though they have the company of no less than three hundred and seventy-eight parsons , and surrounded by the aristocracy , they are free from priestcraft , and thoroughly independent .
On Thursday , I went to Brixham . where they had engaged the market roomB , an 3 published bills , but tbe town ' s commissioners had a quarterly feed at the Bolton Hotel , and after stuffing themsdves with wine at the people ' s expense , they magnanimously resolved that I should not have the rooms ; they sent for the man who kept the keys , and also thebellman , and made them both drunk , and it wanted but an hour of the time of the meeting , when we were made acquainted with their determination . Adeputation then waited on them , but to no purpose . They would not allow Chartism to be introduced into Brixham . It was useless to argue with drunken fools , and unfortunately it wastoa late to get another place . The exasperation of the neoDle at tho
disappointment knew no bounds , but I promised them I would pay them a visit on my return , when I warn the commissioners to look out . for squalte . "SZ On Monday , I lectured in Plymouth , in the Mechanics' Institute , tho place being well filled , the subject being the People ' s Charter . ' My remarks on the * DeW and the ' Funding System , ' being new in this part of the country , cauced come opposition , which enabled me to Jay before them some valuable information . Some questions , also , on Free-trade , enabled me to lay bare that prcciou 3 humbug . On Tuesday , I lectured in the same place , on the ' Land Plan / to a crowded meeting . I spoke above two hours . At the close , sereral questions were asked , which I answered , evidently to the satisfaction of
the meeting . On Wednesday , I lectured in Devonport , in the auction mart , on the ' Land Plan , ' and on Thursday , in the Temperance Hall , on the ' Charter / Both meetings were well attended . On Friday , I attended a public meeting in the Mechanics ' Institution , Plymouth , to petition against the Coercion Bill . Mr Petrie in the chair . Mr Robertson made a most excellent speech , as did als > Messrs Ireman and Rogers . A very . good petition waa adopted with only one dissentient . I- have thus given a brief account of my fortnight ' s labours in this interestinc county , which has been too long neglected . Next week I make a short tour through . Cornwall . JOHK W 1 J 8 I . Prestou . —The quarterly meetine of tha memhew
of the O'Connor brigade Land Company waa held in the Chartist Association Room , No . 1 , High-street , on Sunday afternoon at two o ' clock . Mr John Taylor was unanimously called to the chair . Auditors and scrutineers were elected . William Liddlewas re-appointed treasurer , and secretary . The" secretary stated that at the last quarterl y meeting a resolution was agreed to , for the purpose of establishing a fund , to assist the members with a certain amount of money , when going to their different allotment * ,, and thiB was the day appointed for the first deposit to be m&de , but owing to the depressed state of trade , * e believed it wouldbe almostimpossible for Bomeof the members to pay at the present time , he there-% L ^ ed That an tension of thrte months be allowedto these

The secretary also stated that some of the members- of the other branch had made application to him to know if they would beallowed to pay their ' money into the Anistuee Fund t but , as he did not wish to give any offence to any ottwr or member belonging to the other branch , h& thought it . would . be best to senda note , recommending them to adopt , a > fund for the same purpose , but should they not agree to establish such a fund , he would move— ' That as many of their members as thought proper to pay into this fund .
