The most extraordinary popnlar demonstration ever -witnessed in tni 3 city took place to-day , on the occasion of the meeting of the tradesmen of Dublin lopeimpnfora Repeal of the Legislative Union . Kom the early hour of s ! ghi o'clock the streets ¦ were thronged byvnraUItudes anxious to witness the ¦ various trades proceeding to the place of rendpzvous , the bea&nfnl Tillage of Phibsborongh , in tbenolbern Bnbnibs .

About half-past eleven o ' clock the grand movemeni from PhibsboTongli commenced , and the trades , with their varions bands playing , proceeded acro . * s Blacqnierre-bridge into Eeeies-street , ihrougl Upper Dorset-street , B > lton-stre&t , Capsl-street over Essex-bridge , through Dame-Etreei , ( which was mo ? t densely crowded , especially towards the hili adjoining the castle of Bablm ) , Collfge-green ( irbert dekfeniES cheers were given opposite the Bank oJ Ireland ); nex ? the precision passed into Gra * . u . n-Btreei , Kassan-street , Clare-street , and Merrionsqaare . In this splendid square an immense multitude was assembied on the arrival of the prosession , and great numbers ¦»¦ » re forced to pass by a different route towards Donnybrook . The prof * s * jon pas ? ed on the south side of the square , and drew up in as
good order as the pressure of the multitude would allow , ^ opposite the rfader . ee of Mr . O'Conneil , Here tho scec * was Tesliy a most extraordinary manifestation of enthusiasm . Mr . O * Connf-ll , ac « -zEpanied ly some ladie ? and other member * of his family , appealed on th ? balcony in front , whilst the lands struck up "See the Conqnerinjr Hero comes , " and the multitude chs&ed witn a degree ef anima-Con sad heartiness which 1 nevsr saw equalled at any popnlar exhibition , Mr . O'Conneil acknowledged the greetings of the people by eloquent S- tstnres , but I was not near enough to observe whether ie addressed the multitude . I Irarned that Dr . Hughes , Roman Catholic Bishop of New York , was Amongst those who stood npon the balcony , beside Jlr . XyConnelL
About two o'clock the first part of the procession reached Donnybrook , and the varsons trades came in rapidly from that hour , and took np their stations on the JSxtensive Fair-green . The number of tradesmen alone is the procession , J understand , was 17 ^ 80 . This was independ ent of tbs general population of die city and neighbouring connties , who fiooked to inis meeeii ^ . At three o ' clock the entire of the trades had entered the green , wtieli was theu crowded by a jnnltitnde of immense amonnt , the bands playing-lirely airs , atid the people wairisg with anxiety for the arriTal of Mr . O'Gonnell . I hare heard Tarions estimates of the jjumbers present . Some gentlemen on the platform , who hid been down at the Athlone and SWiberetn demonstrations , stated that the multitude here was much more numerous than sit either . ,

The multitude , notwithstanding its immense extent , was perfectly tranquil and orderly thronghont the proceedinga .
Ai half-past ihree o ' clock , a tremfcdous cheer announced the approach of ilr . O'Co&nell , who entered the green seated npon Hie diekey of his carriage , 2 ccompauic < l by Mri Sieele . As tee honourable gentleman made Ms way towards the platform , which was a "work of some difficulty , the people cheered "with great euthnsJasm , and when 1 » appeared upon is , there was a renewal of the acclamation . Mr . Jobs O'CojrsEU ., 3 O * -, baling been called to fiie chair , said he had not words to express his admiration of this magnificent meeting . It was needles to say that it would require mind and iiearJfEtronc as tne mifihtT demonstration itself ,
¦ when an Irishman looked romid npon such- a gr-eai meeting . After such a demonstration , it wasimpo ^ ble io doubt that B ? peal wonid soon be obtained . Ha exhorted the " immense multitude to preserve order , although no ad-dce * on that score tns Beeessary opon ife occaaon . The spot on which they were assembled was formerly remarkable for scenes of disorder ! this day it was the scene of a great peaceful triumph—( iond cheers ) . The Chaibjub read a letter from Dr . Blake , Iftshop of Dromore , apologising for Mb absence , bnt erpreaang Hs hearty approbation of the objects of the meeting . ] H&Tbzxr read . similar letters from the Bishop of Ardseh and Lord Ffrench .
Mt . Peizb Hughes came forward to more the fcst jesointJon , —** That the malignity eroiced towards Ireland by the present Gabinei , who direct our angnst SoTereign , and who have coupled her Boyal name ~ m& threats against our- beloved country , has not , hot Ehall ^ iot , shake onr confidence in onr beloved Queen Tietoria , and should that Hqyal lady require the serrie&s of her IriBh bhojects on any emergency whaterer , none amongst that loyal people w ^ uld be found more ready to shed the last drop of their blood , if necessary , in defence ofherltoysl person and throne , than the tradesmen of the ancient and loyal city of Dablin . " - Mr . "Wbjtb iwoollen operatiTe ) seconded the Tcsolntion .
Mr . Hkkbt Gjuteas presented lumself amidst great cheering . He had always been attached U > the tradesmen t > f Dublin— ( applaase > . Hehad come to support his countrymen , and the more immediate cause of Ms coming was the words of Sir James Graham and the acts of the House of Commons . He could do no good in the English Parliament , and , therefore , be had come to do what he could in Ireland , The Minister would take from the Crown £ he brightest jewel in it—the emerald . He belieTed ihai the people wonld soon Bringdown the Tory Ministry , who listed the people of Ireland and their Tehgion . ThelRepeal of the Union was the © nly remedy for the ctiIs of Ireland : He understood there were some gentlemen from the Englisb papers present 3 and he hoped they would report ¦ what they saw and heard , and not give such short reports as they did of Irish proceedings in the Boose of Commons . He had seen a debate which lasted Borera ! honra put into fourteen or fifteen lines

( Cbeera . ) Tne words traitorsand perjurerswere misapplied when directed against the people of Ireland \ bnt they wonld proje their loyalrj .

( Loud cheers . ) A union could exist only on a footing of equally ; bnt the English and Scotch alone were fevourtd under the existing arrangement . Tbe Qneen ' s name had been usta by a minister who had no authority for it . It -was tiaevo show the Queen that they were loyal , bni on condition that they Trersfree , { Lend cheering . ) Tie resolution was adopted .
The Chaisxas announced a communication from ihe l /> rd Major elect , expressing his rejjret at hi 3 inability to attend , owing 10 " absence from Dublin . Mr .

—( cheers ) . The English are beginning to perceive it ; the British Ministry are quailing before yon . Wellington may attribute it I to his old age ; I attribute it to his despair . He threatened to go to war with us—( cheers ) . Peel came down to the House of Commons and cried out— " the Qyeen was with them "—( cheers ) . Was there ever in the history of the world anything so audacious as the conduct of those two minister 8 r- ( hear , hear ) . We are looking for the ^ Repeal of an Act of Parliament ; they themselves admit we are looking for it peaceably and quietly , and without tbe violation of any law ; and yet British constitutional Ministers—Ministers depending opon Parliamentary support , — not the Ministers of a despot io be appointed at the
will of the Sovereign alono , but Ministers having at lesst the name of popular Ministers—dare to talk of each a thing as civil war—( bear , bear ) . But they don ' t speak of it now . W « topk up the cry ; we d-clared . that we would not gofto war with them ; that we would observe the law ; that we would attark nobody ; but we huried defiance at those who would attempt to attack ns—( cheer *)—and accordingly we have gained one victory . We hare abasbod Wellington and cowed Peel , and Sir James Graham , the man of many lies , and Stanley the maniac—(« 3 ieers and laughter ) . We have cowed them . Poor o : a » l ? y , perhaps , being a man that is touched in ihe head , and it is kind Tor him to be so . will have the audacity to think of going to war with us ; bnt the rett of the ministry have too much good

A teliow lately published a poem ; in Bnglamt , called the Devil ' s Walk , and he is rather . busy in England just now—( lauirhter ) . He bafe jobs of his doing ibere ; he has something to do in Scotland , for the Scotch are a little vexed ; and he has a trifle to do in Wales , where one fine evening , about a week ago , they threw a troop ot dragoons over a bridge—( cheere ) . Those Welch fellows are clever in tearing oat eyes—( laughter ) . This poem of the DeviFs Walk described , amongst other things , the proprietor of the Times newspaper : —
"The Devil saw the tears fall from Old Walter ' s eyes , I " Because the Repealers with pikes don't rye ** f t ot withstanding his charges and calumnies . " —( laughter ) . No ! what vexes them is , that we inveterately keep the peace . Nothing frets them so much ; and we are determined that noih'sig shall make ns violate the peace—( hear , hiar ) . Piwr ^ edy itt' ^ amara , of the county Ciare , was never more determined to keep the peace than we are . He took his oath that he would drink nothing but water dnriug the Clare election . His friends did not think that enough , and made him declare that would not strike any person , even it" he were struck himself . A man who heard he was so sworn asked him , if he
were not going to vote against his landlord ! * ' I don ' t care for my landlord , " said he . " You are a rascal , " said the other , and struck him on the face Yet he did nothing , bnt wiped his face and said , " 2 have but two pigs in the world , ; and 1 will tell you what it is , I will sell one of those pijjs a *» d give you the price of it if you give me a blow after the election is / vver— ( laughter ) . But he took CST 6 not 10 accept his offer . JN ' othing vexes our enemies so much as cur doited perseverance to keep the peace . If you broke a pane of glass , if you were gun ty of the least riot , the divisional magistrates ivdnld have no objsction . to have you up before them the next moraing . But you will not gratify them —( crieB of" l $ o" ) - There is only one way to mortify the enemies of Ireland , and
that is , to remain determined , bnt to continue peaceable . I delight in the species of authority I have acquired over jon , ani the readiness with which 1 am obeyea ; and I account for' it , not fiom any merits of mine , for I have no merits , but iiom the identity of feeling of all the people with me in this majestic struggle to make Ireland a nation again , and to strike down the dominion of the foe and the foreigner—( hear , hear ) . The Tunes' ariicle , published only on Saturday Jast , begins thus : — " On Monday , we understand , another t > l Mr . O ' -ConoeH's monster meetings " , but it is not amousu * of wickednest or vice , of drunkenness or riot—it is a monster in the purity of its morality , and the innocence of its conduct—ia its forbearance from every bad passion ,
End in the moral sentiment that animates US to rally in the cause of oar country , and calls upon us to rescue our people from poverty and distress , and raise them to prosperity and freedom —( cheers ) . I thank him for the phrase " monster meeting" — ( cheerii ) . The Times goes on— Hi 3 hundreds of thousands are to meet ; in the Irish metropolis , to parade along the Liffey in front of the Castie , and to disperse again or not , as Mt . O'Coonell shall choose "—( hear , bear ) . Why , I choose they shall disperse as soon as the business is done ; but they will not disperse until they shall , testify that they would die to the last man , sooner than liie to be the slaves of any unjust Jaw— - ( cheers ) . The vvriter proceeds—** He , of course , will choose that it should
disperse peaceably . He would be an idiot , and he ia none —[ I am very much obliged to biro ] — ( laughier)—if he did not continue tbe process of training his troops —[ they call you my troops ] — ( cheers and langhter)—and threatening the peace of the country ( which I don ' t ; do ) as long as he is allowed to do so in tranquillity "—( cr ies of hear , hear , ieax ) . I am glad the ruffian admits that tre are ia a state of tramjuiHty . ( Cheers ) . My trotps are tranquil , and though they are able to fight they are unwilling to do so . I They will never begin the contesfcj ^ They are able ! to defend themselves if they are flacked , bnt they are too good and too virtuons to gratfy their enemies by commencing any contest . ( Cheers ) . I wish to meet
this newspaper on another point . They accuse me of not nsing arguments to the people , and ' only using abusive terms . They say ^ " We allow a demagogue professing and stimulating a barbarons hatred of our very name and blcpd , to muster and baxrangue fiia myriads of deluded peasantry . ' 1 would be glad to know who began it . They are surprised at tbe animation of the Irish people , and -their determination no longer to submit to Saxon rule . 1 have here no less than six pages that I have extracted from the Times and other newspapers , consisting of abuse of the Irish people . ( Heart hear . ) Allow me to tell you what they call US . They call us a dirty race—a lazy race—superstitious beasts—brutes—savages , worse than the cannibals
of New Zealand . (** Oh , oh ") . They accuse ns of abusing them , aud I * m telling you the provocation we reefcive . They call ns robbers , ' perjurers , assassins , wholesale murderers , and they call our clergy " sanguinary scoundrel ? , ' " surplicad ruffians ^ " a assassins , and promoters of assassination by fire and wiih the knife , " " jnnrderous brutal tjrants " * demon priesthood . ' In The Times alone of 1835 , I have selected these epithets applied to the ecclesiastical body of the people of Ireland : —* Pions terrorists , " " Popish ruffians , who disgrace the name of Christian ministers in tlr « land , " " contrivers of favage and unprincipled machinations , " tyrants of a barbarian multitude—a rabble who cannot comprehend the difference
between right and wrong , spiritual tyrants leaguing themselves with the fierce passions of as idle , poor , aad untaught , save in so far as they are an ifi-taaght , multitude , " *» brutal autocrats , bearing the name of priests , " " wretched impostors who are neither Christians nor men of honour , " " the most absolnte , selfish , coarse , and hateful tyrants that ever oppressed the earth , " " surpliced ruffians , " " vulgar minded , shallow , and unprincipled quacks , " " atrocious hypocrites , who set at defiance every Jaw . " I fitng back with ineffable contempt and indignation the calumnies of our Saxon oppressors . I proved , incontestably , that the terms which they applied to us were only applicable to themselves . 1 proved that our English riders had been from time immemorial sanguinary monsters" in their conduct
to Ireland . I demonstrated this fact in my worK upon Ireland and the Irish ; and what is more , I demonstrated ii principally by the evidtnee of Prottstant hi-iariaiiS ; but before I engaged in my task I thought it right to make the selection of specimens of English ekqaence which I have this day submi-tea to your notice . I fiing back ; the calumnies of the Saxons to their tetih , and I have proved to demonstration that cur oppressors are themselves what they would describe us to be . 1 ask them » has not tLe bread ve-hioe cat y have cast upon the waters of bi « eratss come back to them with interest ? Has nos the seed which they have sownjborne a plentiful harvest ! Have thf-y not succeeded in creawrg in das country a detestation of their tyrannical misrale ! Have they not alienated the hearts , feeling ,
and sympathies of the Irish people —( bear , hear )! The hon . and learned gentleman proceeded to observe that the Irish people , in . the glorious efforts which they were now maiiBgibr the regeneration of their country , were cheered on and inspirited by the sympathy aad good wishes of the wise and enlightened in every nation of the "world . All Europe was looking on withiniere&t and admiration at the gaggle in which they were now engaged . 2 * or Europe only ; the story of Ireland' s wrongs had been wafted to tbe ottennosi boaaHs of tbe earthtne Africans even on their sandy shores , had heard tne names and read the achievements of the Irish -eaders , and longed for men as faitMnl and as eaergeae to point out for them the path to happiness aud liberty .

muhons commanded the affectionate sympathy of i Sieir friends at the other side of the Atlantic ! . ( Ikar , bear . ) Trie heart of America was with them ) The Repeal Association would meet to-morvow , and he would then hand in the sumof £ 1 , 125 , Which had been transmitted to the Repeal exchequer by the free , enlightened , and liberty-loving meu of America . ( Prolonged cheers . ) Wellington would hear that with surprise , and crafty Peel would Bhrug hia shoulders significantly on hearing the in--telligence . The Association would devote one entire day to the reading of the American correspondence by which this splendid contribution had been acj oompanied , and efficient means should be taken to convince the Americans of the depth , solidity , and
sincerity of Irish gratitude . ( Load and continued cheers . ) His son had demonstrated to them by in 4 genioua statistical calculations the ruinous results of the Act of TJnion upon the commerce and manufactures of Dublin ; but , O , how different would be the picture they ivould have to draw if to-morrow ' s sun were to rise upon the preparations for opening the Irish ' ¦ Parliament House—our old house at home—] and that before his setting the Lords and Commons of Ireland were to assemble in full council within the halls of College-green —( hear , hear ) . If the day had arrived when be could address from the portal of the Irish House of Commons , and in the front of Cpllcge-green , the men whoa he was now address-, ing upon the plains of Donnybroek , how glorious ,
how deHshtfiil would be the tale he would have t » recount to the congregated trades of Dublin ! He would have to inform them that 120 princely man- , sions would be required to be built , fitted up and furnished in a Ptyle of the most splendid magnificence ; that 300 houses would be required for the : resident gentry , whose servants and establishments would be regularly maintained from year ' s end to year's end in Dublin ; aad what an impulse would : be given by this intelligence to our national industry , commerce , and manufactures . It would bo next to impossible to pass thronj-h tbe streets in consequence : ot lhevast number of splendid equipages which would ; continually be rolling through their city avenueaj Gralton-street would have to be widened ; Damestreet . ;( broad as it now was ) would have to be opened !
still farther ; Cork-hill mast be made a squared ' , Thomas-street would once more wear its anoient aspect of commercial opuUnce ; the busy hum of the shuttle wonld again rewound in thonow desolate and grass-covered streets of the liberty , and the whole city would pr < sent that appearance of happi ' nesa , splendour , and substantial comfort which it wore before the passing of the blighting- act of Union —( tremendous cheers ) . The carpenters wouJd'be covered with their own chips , the slaters would be singing on the top of all tbe house-roots , and ihe employers would be coming to the tradesmen , as was the wont in days of yore , with retaining fees of £ 5 or £ 10 , iu orJ- r to secure the services of a good workman for thrcerrfcur months consecutively . . Let them be but true to themselves—Jet them be but
united'and persevering , and success wslf inevitable They had already achieved a splendid victory iu their endearou * to assert and vindicate tbe principles of religious liberty—liberty of conscience ; and i ho Repeal movement bad this great advantage over the Gajsolic emancipation movement , that , whereas it was the rich and influential who were priiicioally , if not exclusively , bejitfiued by the former , there was no class in the community , however humblo , that would not be prrmauently an- ' inconceivably bent-fitted by the latter . He was now working for the people ; it \ yas into their cause that he had thrown his energies . It was a great cause—a noble and bcart-fctirrh : £ cause . The snows of age were foa his brow , y « i he felt as though he received a fresh
accession of juvenile spirit aad juvenile vigour when he rtflected upon the magnitude and importance of the cause to which he had dedicated his energiesto which he had devoted the purpose of his life—( great cheers ) . His heart bounded—his spirit exulted—he felt as though he trod upon air when ho looked around him and ibuud himself surroanded by myriads of his cou&tryriKn who were resolved upon achievitjfltbe liberty and independence of their native country . He would take nothing short of Repeal—Repeal before * vcrythuig ; Repeal ia preference to everything . This was what he was struggling for . Too long had he said that if England gave us justice he would not look for R .-peal ; but he now altered the tenor of hia song . England has not the power of
doing the Irish people justice otherwise than by the restoration of her native legislature ; for this was the only measure that could establish our commerce and manutactures upon a lasting basis . This alone could keep our rents at home ; this alone could give lrclandHo the Irish and the Irish to Ireland . He did not , care what England did—he was for Repeal —live ar die—( immense cheering ) . There was a fool , in ICerry O ' . ce ( where there were not many by thewav ) w&o , having found a hen ' s nest , wa'ched till the old one went away , and then la < 1 hold of the eggs and commenced sucking them . Wueii he was swallowing the first of them , the chicken that was within the egg f-queaked as it went down his throat
— " Ah ^ my lad , said the fool , " you spoke too late " —( loud lanKbtrr ) . Now , he ( Mr . O'ConneH ) was no fool , lie knvw now to suck egsjB ; but if England were now to tell us she would < io justice , he would reply , like tbe fool in Kerry , " You spoke too late " — ( . oud cheers ) Let England do justice to herself , and she would find she would have enough of business on her hands . The enemic s of Ropaal endeavoured to disprove the practicability of Repeal by arguing that tho bill for tbe restoration of the Irish Parliament must , be ' oro it becomes law , be read three times tuocessivcly in the Lords and Commons of England ; but this was a fallacy . They would not trouble the Lords and Commons . The Union
would be repealed without the Lords and Commons of England , and despite of them ; for the Queen ( whom Heaven preserve and bless ) bad it m her power toisBue her writs froovChaucery : forthwith the IrL-h Parliament would start again into existence proprio vigore . The Hon . ana Learned Gentleman thun repeated what he paid in Galway respecting the power of the Qieen to issue writs and convene an Irish Parliament , and directed the attention ; of the hearers to tbe fact , that when it was in contemplation to pass the Act of Union , Saurin , Bushe , Plunkett , and the most inveterate Tories of the day , declared that the Irish representatives had no legal right whatever to annihilate the Irish Senate . They were sent into Parliament to enact laws and not destroy legislatures . Mr . O'Conneil then proceeded to enumerate the various blessings which he alleged would flaw from Repeal ,
and foremost amongst which he said were the abolition of the tithe-rent charge and the annihilation of Poor LaWs for ever in Ireland . Fixity of tenure would ahio be accomplished—a measure which would put an end to the present atrocious system of reciprocal murders of landlords and leuants , tenants and landlords ; and such a magical effeot would the enactment of Repeal have upon our monotary interests , that our National Debt—which , properly speaking , was only £ 40 , 000 , 000—would be wiped away in five years , and Ireland would , like Norway , be one of tbe most lightlv taxed countries in the world . He implored of them not to despair of the fortunes of their country ., If the Irish people were but united—if they would but persevere unto the end , they -would succeed in achieving their liberty aud independence . WhHe they pitied other nations they would rejoice in the glory of their own ,
for—* ' The nations were falling , yet she was still young , Her sun was but rising while others had set , And though slavery ' s clouds o ' er her morning had hung , The full moon of freedom would beam round her y « t . " The Hon . and Learned gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and general acclamations . Several resolutions , principally referring to the state of trade in Ireland , were moved and seconded by tradesmen , who addressed the meeting in no measured ; language . They , together with the usual petition , having been adopted , the meeting separated shortly alter six o'clock , the trades returning as they came , though by different routes , in the order of procession , with their banners flying and their bands playing .

TO THE EDITOR OK IHE NORTHERN STAR . DEAR Sir , —I write to inform you and the Ctiirtists in gei . brul of tbe treatment I received at tbe hand of our woulrt-be-Dsfence Fund Committee , when 1 received notice to appear at the Court of Q , vaeu ' a Bench . I npplied for money to take me to Lonoon , so that I should be there to receive the sentence of the Court , but I was told by the treasurer of the above fund ia Manchester , that they could not give me any , nor should bo give me any . There ' s Democracy for you . ' * So you sec I must be left without . But they could find money for Leach and D . ) yli ' s txpences but none for me . I should like to know the reason why my fXpences should not be puid as v . dll as either Mr . loach's or Mr . Djyle ' s . My liberty ia as dear
to me as either of thtins . What am 1 treated in this manner for 7 la it for deserting tbe principles for which we are BtruggliDg ? Ns : that I defy ahj one to say ; or to point to one single act of mine that will bear that out . It is , I think , for telling them my mind atuut a fortuight before ; so it is spite tbit bus done it . l : My friends , there cannot be a more bare-tacced robbery of my rights , than the one referred to . Oa the Sunday night , previous to starting for London , the council of the Carpenters' Mall locality agreed that a collection should be made , the same to bo dividud equally between tho Manchester victims : so that onethird of that collection belongs to me ; but Io and behold Mr . — gets bis hands on it , and then he does as he thinks proper with it : so he divides it betwixt
Leach and Dayle , aud robs me of my right to one-third of it . This is democracy , ia it ? If tb- is be the way our principles lead men to act , the soonfer we have done with them the bettor ; but we all know they will not ? Well , after being served in this manner what was I to do ? I bad no money —1 had no work 80 as to earn it ; and -what had 1 no work for ? for being a Chartist . And more than that , I was not able for many months if I ha . i had any to do , through Uie Hall of Soiwieo row , when I bad my head as well as niy arm broken j and I am sorry to say the arm never will be as it ought to te . 1 am crippled for life , and to be treated in this manner is rather too bad . So my friends you wilt tee at at once what I was obliged to do . 1 am sorry te say I was obliged to take my chest of tools
to pledge for the money to bring ; me to London to receive the sentence of the court . But we have hoc got so far as that yet ; we have to have another go for it . Then koyt am I to get to London , if I am wanted again ? You will bear in mi ad I have no more chests of tools . I cannot raise the money to defray my own cXpenceB . I was infoTnied that if I did not appear , I should- be liable to imprisonment for contempt of Court So what had I to do , but do as I did . Nothing ; no means were Jeft me . I shouid not have thought so much about it , if it had bet-n done by the gTeat body of Ctiartists of Manchester . But fpr two or three who are not fit to be called men to take so much upon themselves , I neither can , nor will I stand it with impunity .
I request the men of Manchester to look to it , and take thtlr affairs into their own bands ; aud then I am curtain justice will be done to al ) . I remain , Yours in the cause of democacy , Thomas Railton . London , Monday , May 16 , 1843 . . [ We have pad this letter in type ever since the period of its date ; but have witheid it lest It might injure the subscriptions to the Victim Fnnd . That fund being now closed , and accounted for , we think it no more than due to poor Rlilton , whom we deem an excellent Chartist , and a most ili-uaed man , that he should be allowed to tell his tale . There ia no better Chartist than Thomas Railton . Hu was crippled for life , poor fellow , at the attack on the Chartists in the Hall ot Science ; and as we think it hard that such a man should be treated in the way his letter describes- — Ed . N .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERS STAR . BiR , —I have read in the fifth page of the Star , of last week , your letter to the people . I hope you will not fail to fulfil your promise . You say you will tell all about the facts which many don't knew , " connected with the strike , the outbreak , the Manchester Conference , and the flinging of the Chartists into the Lta ( niB-trap . " These things are what a discerning people should long since have known . For many years I have admired your advice to the people in the columns of the Northern Star . I never bad the pleasure of knowing you before the Conference of Delegates assembled in Manchester , on the lffth of August last ; and I must confess that your counsel then was admirable , at a time , too , when the political horizon vras clouded with
forthcoming events . I now wish , with all my heart , th <» t your advice bad been then received . Sjujg of us have / alien into the pit . we had so firmly resolved to avoid . VVeii . ' let na get out again , and quit it far ever ( Let ua from this day forward be more upon our guard . Let uu avoid the drones , who although they make more noise arid are more eager to work than bees : make only wax and no honey . The strike commenced three lnifcs from where 1 now live . I knew nothing whatever about it until all the mills in Hyde were stopped , The people assembled in tbe Market-place . I addressed myself to them . I advised them to avoid the
League . There was a resolution subtnicted to the meeting to the kffct that tbe Hyde people should goto Manchester the following day to stop the mills . I opposed the resolution ; but the people being desirous to go , I withdrew my uppostion ; and I said " 1 would sink or swim with tha people . ' The middle class-men called a meeting the following day , none to be admitted bat shopocrats . I succeeded in gaiuirg admittance . A cpacbm&n to one of the cotton lords was called to the chair . He proceeded to business . Tbere was a resolution proposed to tbe effect that they would support the 41 v » orke > ys , " on condition that the Ghmiter should not be mentioned at any public maeting !
¦ Now I wish my Chartist friends to understand that all the men at that meeting were Leaguers , and , by exblU ' . iiDg the Charter , they intend ed to introduce the question of Corn Law Repeal ; and tbereby place Charmm in abeyance . I was on the look out I proposed the resolution passed by ; the shopkeepers of Burnlsy , inl&lay , 1842 .. That pinned the knaves . They found out their mistake , and they Ufc the meeting without coining to any definite plan . I had before fought those men unceasingly ; and had saccceeded in destroying the anti-Corn Law agitation here . There was not a vestage of it to be found , I had nailed the Chartist flag to the nia * t , and had it flattering in tbe breeze .
My exertions bronght npon me the vengeance of the WWgmagistrate * . The j ¦ ought to hate me secured ; and oa tb . e 20 lb of August , at tbe hour of twelve , the bloodhounds came to arrest me . reflected , my escape byj going into a cellar , which was unnoticed by the Police . Tiria saved me from the wrath of an Abinger . I then made my way to Dublin , where I found a staff of etirling and genuine Chartists . Their sympathy to pie was without ; limit—not a wag of the lips but the opening of their purses . I must return my most sincere thanks to the brave and generous O'Hiegina ; and also to the old champion , Mr . Rafter , and

REPEAL OF THE UNION AND THE | PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Mr . O'Connor lectured upon thrse snbjects on Monday evqiing , at the Social Hall , John-street , Tottenhara-Court-road . Shortly after eight o'clock Mr . Large was called to the chair , and , in a neat and appropriate speech , introduced Mr . O'Connor , who was reeeivfd with great applause . Mr , O'Connor commenced by referring to his establishing ' , eight years back , the Great Radical Association *! He received the Chairtnau ' a d&hca , t « 3 , but well merited censure , that-he had not been sufficiently among < , hem since that period , tiis name had often been announced , but it had been without his consent '; and disappointment had been tbe
result . This , he trusted , would be guarded against in iutare . JHe rejoiced that the committee had chosen for the subject of hia address , the two prominent subjects of a Repeal of the Legislative Union with Ireland and the People ' s Charter . All other subjects of agitation , when compared wjth these , wereof minor importance . If th ^ y lookud at tbe question of ihe Church of Scotland , the Kducation Bill , the battle between the agriculturists and the manufacturers , or any other question which occupied the public mind , they would see that they were not worth the slightest attention , nor likely , to be productive of the slightest benefit to the working man . If they turned to the " Rebecca" agitation in Wales , of what benefit was it to them ? They had no
horees to pay toll for—they did not complain of the low price of agricultural produce , for thfy had no 3 and to ! grow it . The parties engaged in all these sectional agitations would join heart and soul to put clown tho Charter agitation and perpetuate tho continuance of mi l dle-class ascendancy . J All their complaints were bottomed on class-interefts ; and all taeir efforts directed to relieve those ! burdens which pressed peculiarly on themselves ; knd if justice was done to-them , it would be at ihe expense of injustice to the working men . They Complained oF excessive taxation ; but while the present system of legislation continued , the taxes taken off the shoulders of the middl .--cla . S 3 would be placed upon tho shoulders of the workers .
Aa long as the Wauonal Debt was kept up , ' a certain amount of tajtes must be raised ; and aa the workers wero the woakest party they would have to make up any deficiency . The middle classs thought it hard to have ( to pay three-and-a-half per com for an Income Tax j but out of a revenue of i ! -. 30 , 000 . 000 , before tbe imposition of the Income Tax , ' not more than £ 300 , 000 was paid by them in direct taxation . In looking round tho room , he saw many Irishmen present . Wha £ had brought them to England ! Was it love to them ? No . Was it hatred ? No . It was the tyranny of the Union , which had caused upwards of 2 . J 00 l ) , O 0 O of Irishmen to ibek to the British Rhores , many of them able-bodied men . Ho would not mention a word about physical force
( cheers and jlauyhter ); but it had brought them 2 , 000 , 000 able-bodied men which was a greater physical force tha . it the whole British army . When they wereweaji , it might be well to talk of physical force ; bnt i «» w they were strong , they despised it . Tho Times newspaper declared that the Repeal agitation inuk be made treason . Mr . O'Counor then alluded to the conduct of the Time ' s in misrepresenting his spereh at Manchester . He likewise spoke of Mr ] S . L < me Fox . He did not credit it that he was affjeted with the prevailing disease of monomania ;| the probability was , that Mr . Fox being a great Yorkshire sportsman , had been bitwn by one W his own dogs , and was affi ; c > , ed with h ydrophobia . iThe Times asserted that Ireland had no
grievances to ( complain of . It asserted the same of Wales until ' | Rebecca" opened its eyes ; and cben it produced a long list of grievances , which it declared ought long ago to have been repealed . If the Times was eo jiguoranc of the grievances in Wales , which was separated from England only by a tollbar , how could they expect it to be acquainted with those of Ireland , which was separated by the sea Government was faBt teaching them , that nothing could be got by prayers and petitions . Any person who locked at past history would have , ample confirmation of 'hat truth . Mr . O Connor thtn alluded to the Emancipation Act , which wrung from the fears of the UorernoiMit what they defied to justice . They refused to justice and common
sense what they granted to the fear of the flame and toe daggor . The ensuing morning would witness the commemoration of the achievement of American Independeucei-not by moral but by physical force ; and who could blame the Irish people for a similar conduct , if they should be forced into a civil war , or goadod into ! resistance ? They might rest assured neither the Iron Duke , nor Peel , would attempt to benefit the condition of Ireland , until the people in thunder demanded it , and it became dangerous to resist . Their Chairman bad asserted that he would not give a pinjfor the Repeal of the Union , unless accompanied by the adoption of the People ' s Charter . Why was France , with a population of
forjytwo millions , satisfied with a less constituency than England with ^ population of thirty-three miil'oas ? It was because in England they had only the theory of libeny , while iu France they had it in practice . In France , they had no law of primogeniture , and they had '' fixity of tenure . " Fo long as tho vote was vested in the land , and not in the man , as Catholic leases fell j in , they would be giveu , even at a lower rent age , to Protestant voters ; but if tbe Repeal } was accompanied by " fixity of tenure , " they would then let the ground to the highest bidder , whether Catholic man or Protestant voter . They were toldj that Irishmen are either opposed to the Charter or don't understand it ; it was all fudge . An Irishman could see aa far into a stone wall as an
Englishman . It was the feuds kept up by interested parties , wheh made Irishmen stand aloof from the agitation . They had equal grievances to complain of in both countries ; and the same parties were the oppressors of both . He challenged them to look at the past ten years , during which he had been the unpaid advocate of the working men , and poiat out on what day he' had said a word , or what article he had written , calculated to create or perpetuate feuds between the two countries . In the year 1800 , if the National Dsbt had been divided into fifteen parts , the result wouljl have been that only 2-fifte « ifch 8 ot it appertained to the share of Ireland . Had not England suffered from the Union , in having to maintain a large standing arm y and an expensive Law
Established Church ? His countrymen had been told not to pay much' attention to his advocacy ot Repeal , as he was only a new convert . Why , in 1023 he . was compelled to leave his country for eighteen months , for Writing a pamphlet in its favour . In 1833 , he bo worked , thatl in the large county of Cork , which returned eight members , only one member was returned who was opposed to Repeal . In tbe first number of the Northern Star , he stated his determination to agitate in its favour . Ii he was a ihasty convert show him the man whose blood had been shed as his had been . If theyj could show him the man who for twenty years had laboured harder for it than be had , then he would allow him to be a better Repealer . He bad always contended for "fixity of tenure . "
In 1835 , when M . P ., he had put a notice of motion on the books of j the House of Commons to accomplish that purpose ; aud after having struggled so long for it ; after having aroused in both eoimuiea a prejudice agajinst him by his determined adherence to it , was it to be supposed that he silon . d now abandon it for any less measure of justice ? Th' : y were told that Ireland was being filled wuh . troopJ . Of what use wore troops , when thers was no one to fitrht ? or of cannon , when there was nothing to bombard ? Hisjcountryuien did not waut to fi ^ ht ; o « if they did , it waa with the" blue bottien , " and not with the soldiers . There was no doubt but that policemen wefejin that room , disguised with moustachios , to report to Sir James Graham as well as their treacherous memories wonld allow . LeEtnem
report ; if they reported honestly , Graham would be a good deal wise > for it . Peel had repealed 750 A . cts of Parliament in one night . The Reform BjJl was also a regular breaking up of all the laws of the State . Of thej eight articles of the Legislative Union there was not one which had not been violated . The Act of Union settled 100 M . P . ' s as the portion for Ireland . The Reform Bill violated that , by giving her 105 . Another article settled a certain annual sum for education , not one tittle of which had ever been properly applied . Mr . O'Connor then showed how tho other articles of the Uuion had been abrogated , and contended that tbe contract was aall and ford . He ( hen alluded , in terms of high commendation , to the exertions of Father Mathew . Tfcat apostle had appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland uober . He highly admired the course taken by that excellent man in refraining front introducing politics . He had auffioient confidence in IriBh honesty and

'Iribh jadgment to lears those q jcations in th . > ir ftTO , binds , Mr . O'Connor then dwelt on the woaK * of Bffnrsin Spain , and of the ^ 0 : 09 from acroSS Atlantic in favour of Repeal . He repudiated in strong terms , ary idea of foreign interference' n achieving their object . When Ireland was « mP fifiiently united she waB quite powerful enouah ^ i ffect every change which she desired * She had »!« the sympathy of the 3 , 500 , 000 British heart ^ whn petitioned in favonr of Repeal , when she herself was slumbering upon the measure . Mr . O'C then demonstrated the very different feeling nowe » « Hn 2 in England in favour of 1 Aland and hertig ht * its what existed tea years back ; and concluded a bril liaut and effective address , of which the above ia only a faint outline , by reiterating his determination to stand or fall by the People ' s Charter . Mr . Clark , in a very effective speech , moved a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Connor for hi * 3 past and present services , which was ably seconded by Mr James Cook , and carried by aclamation . *
Mr . O CoNNoa briefly acknowledged the compli . ment , alluded to hia . ' establishing , eight ^ eara previous , the Marylebone Radical Association- and stated that daring the two years he was on the com « mittee , be was never absent from bis duty . The time was now approaching when similar strenuous exertions would be necessary ; for poverty was driving the middle classes to contend for the same rights which the working classes were actuated by principle in contending for . Mr . O'C . sat dowu loudly cheered . The meeting place was densely crowded , especially in tbe galleries . The charge for admission wa 3 one penny to tha hall , twopence to the gallery , and . threepence to the platform .

repeal association-Tuesday . Dublin ' . The usual weekly meeting waa held this day . at the Corn Exchange , whi « h was extremely crowded , from tiie beginning to the close of the proceedings . The chair waa taken by Daniel O'Conneil , jun ., E * q . After some routine business Mr . O'Connell rose , and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering . When silence was obtained , he proceeded to hand in the following sums : —From Logarstown , Co . Meath . £ 20 10 s . ; Rev . P . O'Reilly ,
P . P ., £ 1 ; and some other sums . He alluded to the meeting at Dundalk , and said that he never saw a more determined body assembled together to seek for a political object . The cold and stern manner of the men of the north contrasted strongly with the gay and linht demeanour of the southerns , while both were equally resolved to achieve their national independence . He then handed in from the young gentlemen of Dundalk £ 60 ; from the young ladies £ 20 ; from the people or' Diindalk , £ 40 , and from other parts in tbe neighbourhood , £ 104—making in all from the north of Ireland , the result of the Jategreat meeting at Dundalk , £ 224— ( great-cheating ) . After reveral sums of money were handed in , "
Mr . O'Coxnell rose again to hand in the money which he had received from America . This , he said , was a most auspicious day—the 4 th of July—the anniversary of American independence—( protracted cheers ) . He believed that that cheer would be carried on the wind across the western wave , and be heard chirping at the other sUe of the Atlantic , along the rivers and among the high hills , and in the fertile valiies of free and independent America—( cheers ) . No min who loved his country would regret that America had gained her independence—( cheers ) , She b ? re with persecution and tyranny uHtil they became no longer tolerable ; and after every peaceable method to obtain jastise had failed then only did they resort to arms —( cheers ) . They
freed themselves from the oppression of one of the greatest tyrants that ever filled a throne . Brougham said that if the correspondence between Gdorge the Third and his Ministers were published , it would shake the throne of his family—( cheers ) . God be praised , there was no longer any danger of the throne being shaken—no matter what correspondence was made public , originating from the elder branches of that family , ( dear , hear , and cheers . ) He knew that Ea ^ land had grown wiser since that period , and he aloO knew that she had become weaker . ( Chetrs ) If they attempted to tyrannizs over Ireland as they did . over America , and they drove the people of this country to resistance —this he knew , that they would be one thousand times more mid than the statesmen who advised
the contest with America . ( Great cheering . ) They would not attempt ie , they n ^ ver would dare to iry it . ( Cheers . ) They might traduce the Irish , they might call them foul names , but fight they would uot . ( Continued cheers . ) In the course of eight or ten days the new building would be ready for the association , and then he would announce the next step hu would take for the Repeal , and they would show tbe Americans the way they intended to win their country ' s legislative indepe ndence . ( Cheers . ) He concluded by handing in £ 1 . 079 3 s . Sd . from Boston . New York , Philadelphia , and Brooklyn , in the United States , and £ 20 : ° rom Halifax . The people of Halifax , who subscribed this sum , being British subjects , were enrolled members .
Mr . Sweetman , the extensive brewer , waa next admitted a member . Mr . O'Connell proposed the admission of Samuel Bindon , E ^ q ., of Waterpark , in the county of Ciare . He read a letter from that gentleman , in which he stated that he was one of the oldest magistrates iu the county . Mri O'Conaell said that Mr . Bindon made this statement to enable Mr . Chancellor Sugden . to offer another insult to the Irish people by dismissing him from the magisterial bnoh . Let him do it if he dare . ( Cheers . ) Several large sums of money were handed in and members carolled .
On the motion of Mr . O'Conneil , it was resolved that the meeting should adjourn until two o ' clock to-morrow , to specially consider the letters received from America . He then said that tbe Repeal Rent received up to yesterday , was £ 2 , 495 143 . 0 £ d , ( Long continued cheering ) . Tois was independent of a sum of £ 300 received this day , which would be taken into tho next account .
