In J 1832 ha had sat night af tf r sight to oppose the Coercion and other bills
brought forward by the Yerj parties "who now appeared to oppose them , He caUrd Upon his countrymen -wholiad been driven by the tyranny of the Landlords and of the law Church from tbe green hills and the fertile valleyb of their native land , to answer -whether " justice" could be done to Ireland -without Repeal ?—( loud shonts of "Bo" ) . Wonli they abandon it?—( "Narer /' and tremendous cbeuing | . They might do so if they liked ; but he never wonld- —Jrenewed cheering , -waving of hats , i& )—and ho -would sfill give them the benefit of his counsel . Mr . O'Connor then passed an cnlogium upon Shannan Crawfordi -who had asserted in the House that if justice -was cot ; dene to Ireland , instead of striking the standard of Bepeal . lie for one -wonid rally round its banner—( cheers ) . They had also
aaotner VLT . on tbe platform , -whs in good or in bad vre&ther bad always stoo 3 by the ivforking classes . That man was Thomas Dancombe , E ? q — ( loud cheers ) —and vriLhout exaggerating be boheved be might safely aay that if the majority of { the Irish nation demanded Bepeal , Mr . Dancombe -would be ready to concede it . The whole nation did derazed it ; and he cantioneii them not to make a bad use of the present meeting . He thanked Gofl that al' tLongh the union had been once passed , it was no condemnation to Ireland i because they appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland sober . There -was no statute of limitation for a people ' s rights ; and if there -was , ; they must prove that the compact had been adhered to . The -whole ei ^ ht articles of the Union hRd feeen * violated ere the
isk -with -which they "were written -was dry . It might o : oe have been difficult to bave rise ? an agitation for Bepeal , if justice bud beai granUd ! : but now it was too late . How was that Union achieved ? Was it not ¦ when the withering blaBt of corruption had j > sralj zsd * he arm of irCustry ai d crimEontd ? be ^ reen fields of Ireland -with thebloofl of her cbiitjTen ; tlien w&Btbe Union crafted across the tairlt-d Atlantic gile , and forced upon a lieftncdfci * people when the guardians of her glory —pit cithm cocsicced to a graTe , pr banished their native Jaud Englishmen could not ; feel as Irishmen . They tranied no pitch and to ? s vrork — ( cheers and laughter ) . They wanted a Beptsl of ihe Union , and a man to carry In bis own person the ' . tide deed to the frsrabL * . Give them thtfe thitps , land they would
speedily deal satisfactorily and with justice to the Protestant Church . They -wotfd ssy 'to her , yon have blighted and made sterile a ferlua land ; you have delnged our lovely plains with blood ; go ! and do ptDEBce by being in future good sud htly . As lovers of Ireland , they were called upon to do something definite . They could expecct no justice frwin an Ecsiif-h Paiiiamtnt . Tbe lisping of an opposition destitute tf po- * er -would bnt liUie btnefit tjiem . Tfcey bed bees Ecorcbtd upen both side ? . They iiad been in the frate , and in the fender ; and it -was time to set out o ! ibe fixe altogether . Ho -was aiked , " "Would fee Sacrifice the English Cbnrch" ? He asted in retura , " why -was the Gatholic Cnurch sacrificed" ? Surely it \? as more just , if a sacrifice must fce made , that it thpulo be of 600 , 000 . than of 8 , 000 , 000 : and if it was a sacrifice , it would be only or temporalities , and not of faith ; -nhich would muke the Cauich more holy , mure in accordance Trith Use doctrines of its great founder .
It was almost an insuit to his countrymen , after their l&Bg-Ccstiimziice in 'well doing , to remind them of tbeii duly ; but Iiel&nd was watching that meeting -with , intense anxiety . If that meeting declared for soxcm petty •' justice '' for Ireland , and : not for Repeal , it would he a death-blow to tee R- peal question in England . He trusted they would not part until they had incorporated the Bepeal in the AddreEs to the Queen . Mr . Q'O-mcvT then concJnded , Amidst tumultuous applause . Mr . Be * fet Kidiet rose to propose an amendment , but was met with determined opposition by Mr . Parrtj , and others of tbe Committee , -who asserted that o-sring to Mr . F . not being an inhabitant of the BorcugO , he could not move an amendment Mr . Ridley maintained his claim as paying rent in tbe Borcugh , and after considerable confasion , end a vain attempt to get a good hearing , be handed the following amendment to the Cnairman , who I read it to the meeting : —
w Th » t in the opinion of ; thiB meeting , tho conduct pursued by tbe present and late Government towards the sister stats ef Ixei&nd , has been unjust and xjrtnnicsl ; and "we are further of opinion that tbe Irish nation has an undoubted right to rid itself of tbe oppressor's yeke in any way which inay seem most fitting to itself . We therefore most cordially svmpatJazi -with them in thrar endeavours to procure a Ilcpeal oi the l ^ gjtlative Union , and vrill co-cperate with them to the furthest extentin our power . " Order having been Testored , ilr . Bidlet spoke at seme ltngih io fajoux of the amtidment , and ^ ar ned them lest they again fell into the hands of the blood-Msinsd Izcticns . Ss thought the present meetiug was a feeler , put forth by the Whig *; and he trusted tb » -y ^ ouid defeat ! it and vote for the amendment and " Kspeal . -
2 Jr . FrssELL seconded the resolution , bnt v ? as unable to obtain an bearing , in consequence of the call for Mr . Dancombe . Mr . T . DDSCOMBB , 1 LP- said he had ; felt it hia duty to attend that meeting , not only because be had been invited to do so by the Committee who made the arrangements for holding it , but because he had also received an invitation from tbs -working classes—; cheers ) . He would assure ttem , that if that meeting bad been intended to be a Whig meeting be , -would not have been there to take part in endeavouring U bolster tp that old , and he hoped defunct policy . They were there , be trusted , for much higher and nobler objects ; they -were there to declare as Englishmen , -wietbsr in this criaia of Utt -HTongs of the insulted and iEjured
people Of Ireland , they would range themselves on the siilfl of their oppressors , or trhether justice should be cone both to tbe people of England and-of Ireland . He regretted that the last resolution had rj >< 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 theia -wrongs -without it , they had a right to demand the Bepfesl ef the Union—( bear , and cheers ) . That was his opinion—< hear , hear ) . They had a just right to demand the Repeal of an Act of Parliament . ( A female in the nreetine , «¦ And we'll have it" ) ( Laushter . ) This Act of ParlLonent was concocted in fraud and executed in injustice ; and the Irish had s right to demand its repeal . They cad
heard that the Government -would go to war with Ireland rather than concede the Bepeal . ; In fact , gentlemen in the House of Commess talked of civil -war -with Ireland , with as much levity , and -with as much -glee , as they -would pass a Tnmpiie jBill or - » ote a Royal pension—( bear ) . But they on ; ht to recollect ttiat in conducting a civil war . or anyi other war , ihxt Government must bave the consent and cordial cooperation of the people to carry it on —( hear , hear ) . Was the country prepared to support a \ civil war with Ireland , in order to continue the injustice of her rulers ? —bear , hear ) . Were they prepared to tdo so in order to bolster up a Tory Administration , which was the laughing stock of Ireland , snd the contempt of England ? Ha wta 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 ; despioabl « j & <> vernment should fiie , the v « y firstsworil -which should
be &taioed with Irish cloud , the civil -war would not be confined to Ireland—(? ond cheers . ) , The people cf this country had a long account to settle with former Governments ; and instead of joining in this unholy crusade against tbeir Irish fellow-subjects , they are mnch more likely to unite hands -with Ireland , in resenting their mutual oppressions and in redressiai their mutual vtrongs . With regard to | the question to be settled by the meeting ; if the resolution did not convey to the people of Ireland that they had a ri /? ht to demand Bepeal , be hoped they -would pass ths amendment ; though bethought that the amendment might have been very properly added tq the resolution , as thfcy -were perfectly consistent with each other . A * , all events be trusted that tbey should not permit aov -war to be levied , for the purpose of depriving a nobie and generous people of those rights and privileges , vrbicn both the consfitDAaon and their own intslb ' gvne . ; entitled them to to demand- — ( ttreat cbeering . )
Mr . Fussell rose for tbe purpose of stating tha * b « and his friend had no objection the to amendment being put as an addition to the resolution . The Irish people ¦ Btre told by their iEflnential leader , G'Conneliicheers )—that he had no hope from the Imperial Parliament j that hia only hope -was in [ having power placed in the hands of the peoplfl . Tha gentlemen in tbe platform said Ibis TronldiStstroy ihe influence and dignity of the British empire . To -whit good or hoi ? purpose bad British dignity or influence [ ever been employed ? Had not the British Government joined in every iyrannicE ] ami unholy scheme ? \ Was she not locked upon as an oppressive tyrant by Kurrouadir ^ nations ? The Repeal of the Union would break and divide the strength of the aristocracy ; and it it did nought tlBB , that alone made it v ? orth while to seek for a Repeal of the Union . t
Mr . Hi . ? Hits ha-ving been loudly catted for , reconinJended them , although in a Bidi&g School , l ^ ot to S ^ I lop too fast ; bnt t » agree to recei ve the Emerdinsnt as an addition , Por ihs last eleven iyetra be bad devoted his services to the cause of Ireland ; and he dtnied that Bepeal-was the cry of despair , or the wail of agony . It -arasihe cry of bope , tbe azeartios of confidence , and the opening dawn of a ilorions fatcre . tor . 3 > aoiels had said liit " jnsrlce to Ire !*^" woula prostrate the standard of Ktpaal ; bnt the mesting convinced him that he was no " Daniel f some to judgnisnt" 2 dr .

: - * " - T ~ - ~ 7 ^—^ " ~ " : Mr . It . 0 "wen attempted to address the assembly , but there -was so much noise in the body of the meeting , vthich vk 3 now packed to snffocation , that he could not obtain a bearing . Me . Kte 2 ee . of Tottenham-cfturt-road , next addressed ' thja meeting in » spirit -which excited a good deal of merriment , fcutaf which ve coald not collect a single sentence , not only on account of the coats of laughter cwith which be was interrupted , buV the peculiar articulation of 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 wealth , tfierd waa so much distress and misery , Ignorance , disbrder , and starvation . The meeting became so impatient and noisy that it -was impossible to gather more than that Mr . Owen contended that by their union the people bad in their own power the meana of terminatig their misery , and changing the face of tbe country and the state of society , to peace , happiness , and abundance . '
Tbe Chaieman then read the resolution by itself and also iwith the amendment as aa addition ; a few words having been left out to prevent tautology . When the vote was taken , almost every baud was htld up for the motion -with the addition ; white not a dozen appeared for the original resolution . This decision was KCiiVed tPilh treiHSndens cheering . Mr . Bakee moved tbe following resolution : - " That this meeting has heard with deep regret the opinion avowed by the principal Secretary of State for the Home Department , ' tbat concession towards the Irish people bad reached its limits , ' from which they Bie led to apprehend tbe adoption of a course of coercive policy towards Ireland , which can nave no other , tfftcc than to exasperate tho feelings without removing the discontents of our fellow subjects in that country . "
Mr . Biker expressed bis hope tbat tbe Act of Union might be Repealed by a better act , and his belief tbat the people of Ireland would feel delighted when they beard that thousands of the inhabitants of the Metropolis had made a demonstration on their behalf . Mr . Sat age seconded the resolution . Having b « en many years connected with the Chartist body , be bad Btatedhis belief that Sir B . Hall would act fairly in the chair , and that if they dealt fairly by tbe Chartists , they would not regret calling a public meeting in tbe Borough of MaTvleboEe . Sir Charles Napier , M . P . for tbe Borough , supported the re&olutiun in a sailor-like speech ; but happeoiDg to fall fonl of tbe Repeal question , hn vras spteriily seat to tbe right about , amid considerable dissatisfaction . The 'Tesointion was unanimously carried . Mr . Smam moved the third and fourth resolutions combined , as follows : —
" That this meeting considers tbat the present sfate of feeling in Ireland is to be attributed to a long-continued sjattm of injustice in all departments of Government ; to the maintenance ef an extravagant State Church , -which the people of that country arb compelled to support , -while it prescribes a form of worthip not in cccorcatce with the religious feelings of a great majority of the population ; to tbo extremely defective statp of 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 addressed to fcer Mojusty , ombodidng th&iotegolng resolutions , piajirsg that she may be pleased to take
tee 63 me into her most gracious consideration , tbat a stop may be put to coercive measures ; tbat such a wise , just , and conciliatory policy may be promoted as Trill advance both Political and Ecclesiastical Reform ; that htr Majesty -will give to her Irish subjects an ( quality ufltiws with Great Britain ; and confer respect on there laws by securing the impartial distribution cf justice ; aud should tbe Government not immediately propose to Parliament eucn measBKB &s may tranquilisa tbe presint disturbed stale of Ireland , by placing all classes of that country upon an equality with their feJlow-tubjecta of Great Britain ; this meeting further prays her M&jesty to dismiss her present advisers , and appeal to the tense of the people . "
Mr . ? . vyth £ seconded the resolution , in a speech of considerable ability . SIUHHA 3 C&awfobd , M . P ., in an excellent address , fcnppcrted ihe reaoluiiou . Be rejoiced at seeing such an immensa rot ^ titis . It was a proud day for Ireland , snd vindicated England ' s character from her Tory dtfaitera . He was glad that in one of the resolutions they bad inculpated the late , as well aa the present , Government ; for although tbe 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

MANSLAUGHTER AT RAWMARSH . . Edward Pierpoint , 23 , and Isaac Jackson , 24 , were charged with the manslaughter of Isaac Leesley , on the tub . June last , at Hawmarsh . | Mr . pASHi . Ey arid 14 r . Overbnp oonduoted the prosecution j Mr , WiiK » s defended Pierpoint , and Mr . Bliss appeared on behalf of Jackson . I On the 6 th of June last , the day on which this occurrence took place , a feast was being held at Masbro , ' near Rotherham , and about eleven o'clock on the night of thatjday , there were a number of persons , amon ^ j whom were tbe 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 , ? ' They were 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 this affray commenced . Sumo of the parties were a good deal tho worse tor liquor . Tne deceased came up stairs , and having used some provoking language , a Scuffle took place between him and Myers ; a general row followed , twelve or fourteen of the party paired themselves off , and began to fight . After the disturbance ; had subsided a little , the deceased , ' who appeared to have bten very ill treated , was taken down stairs , where he complained of ^ reat pain . After this , when the deceased was on tlie 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 lying on the ground . About four o ' clock ho was seen oa hia road home , apparently in great pain ; and again , three hours later , he was seen b y a second party on the road side in th > same condition . On his arrival at home , a medical man was called in ; but his ] endeavours to eate his life were fruit less , and ho expired , after suffering great pain for about twenty-four hours , A p- > st mortem examination was made , and it was fouud tbat death had been caused by a rupture of the bowels , which , in the opinion of the surgeon , had been produced by external violence . ;
[ Mr . Buns , on the part of Jackson , submitted that the evidence was contradictory , and insufficient to fix the charge on him : and Mr . Wilkins , on behalf ofj Pierpoint , contended tbat the evidence , and especially that of the medical man , proved that the death of the deceased had been caused not by a kick onj 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 au after part of tho proceedings was spoken tn , he ( Myers ) had inflicted on the deceased such injuries as , according to the medical * m&n ' s evidence , would produce tho result and appearance which he hjffd described .
The Learned Judge ; summed up with great minutsness . The 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 iu ii flic ting those injuries which caused the death of the deceased . The Jnry retired to consider their verdict , and after an absence of twenty miuutesj they returned into Court with a verdict of Acquittal in favour of both the prisoners . Wm . Hargreaves , pleaded Guilty to the manslauxhter of John Holder , at Bradford , on the 29 th of [ April last . Mr . Wasney , who appeared on the part of the prisoner , called several respectable witnesses , who gave the , prisoner an exoullent character for humanity , kindness , and general good behaviour .

with the deceased , but lie continued his abuse , and challenged the prisoner out to fight . The prisoner declined doing so , upon which the deceased used some further opprobrious language , and called him a coward . This had stillVio effect upon him . but some other parties in the house said " Go out , and give him a round or two , and he'll be quiet . " He went outi together wiih the deceased and some other persons . Tho fi « ht commenced , and eventually the deceased received a blow which threw him down , He ] fell on some bricks , and received some injury at th « j back of the neck , which appeared to have produced paralysis and death .

During iho forenoon , the grand jury came into their box , when Richakd Bethel , Esq ., the foreman stated that they had returned all the bills , and being informed at the ! indictment office that thero were no other mdictments to prefer , they applied to be discharged . j Mr . Justice Crrsswell said he was sorry to infarm them that Jhe could not dismiss thom at prefaent . Tho magistrates at Hudderbfield had a prisoner in custody ] upon a serious charge of folony . Understanding that it was probable that tho Grrand Jury would be discharged to day , they had abstained from sending the witnesses last ni ^ ht , for the purpose of saving ( he county the expense of a few
shillings for their conveyance . He ( the Learned Judge ) could uo ! t , however , allow this prisoner to be detained in the Castle for perhaps nine mpnths , in order that tha Grand Jury should be discharged to-day . He had accordingly dispatched a messenger to Iluddcrsfield to fetch the witnesses ; and he was most rejucsandy compelled to detain tbe Grand Jury in order to ( entertain that question . He hoped in future that the magistrates would run the risk of putting the county to some expense rather than show this fear of detaining the Grund Jury .
