conclusion that every TeTolt—every revolution—every murder and barbarity has l > een occasioned by the damnable policy of Louis Phtltppb , while the French people , as if diverted by his stage trickery mpon the Peninsula , allow their capital to be hemmed in , and surrounded by fortresses , -within which the tyrant may luxuriate in quiet , while the people contend in Tain against his sway . *• O V says his servile press , * why evinee such alarm at ike dead walk 1 "Why not restrain your enthusiasm until a demand is made for furnishing the walls with instruments of death I Not a farthing has
yet © een voted for such a purpose j not a cannon bas yet been cast ; and , peradventurei the walls will not be fit for their reception nntfl the year 2844 , 1845 , or may be tffl 1846 . " What 1 will not our French neighbours take warning by our follies I Our police were first established as a civil power ; and then emergency justified the arming them with batchers' fauces . And so it will be with the fortifications of Paris , when they are completed , and ready to receive ! thelguns . Then , whether it be in
1844 , 1845 , or 1845 , the French Minister would reply to the opposition to mounting the guns : ** "What I . was any man in France so foolish or insane to think that so much public money would be expended for nothing ! Why 1 of what use would the bare walls be , if not mounted with cannon V And as our ministers do , so will the French Minister , under the command and direction of the Citizen Sing j mount the guns and man the walls ; and thus terminate the debate by announcing that the deed is done , and now must be paid lor .
"When our bastiles were being bnilt ^ there was every promise of comfort j but when they were finished , and the paupers were cooped op from the ptblie eye , then the law of the Devi / Kings blasted all the hope of the inmates . Taking warning , then , Frenchmen , by wfeat has passed in England ! We esteem the present as the . fitting time for the French mind to try its strength , in resisting the progress of thiB deadly attempt upon their liberties .
Wewjoice at the progress that the canse of democracy is making all over the world . The very complaints which the Belgians made against their Butch Sing , and which justified revolt and separation ; and the very complaints which the Greeks made against their German monarch , and which led to his fettering asd curbing , are precisely the same that Mr . O'Cotxeu . makes against the English Oligarchy . Belgium was infested withDutch placemen ; Greece was swarmed over with German lice ; just as Ireland is sucked by English leeches . If , then , the Queen would preserve her Irish , title , we would recommend her to prefer Repeal to Separation ; for so sure as grass grows and water runs ,
the refusal of the former will lead , and that speedily , to the accomplishment of the latter ; and if she desires to preserve what sfiD remains of her Royal prerogative , we would recommend her to make freemen , instead of slaves , of her English subjects , by proclaiming the law of the Charter , instead of the rule of tie cannon . ; for she . may rest assured that neither she cor her ministers j her horse , foot , or dragoons j her sappers , miners , gunners , or artillerymen ; her bombs , her shells , or her mortars , can undermine the public mind ; can shoot a public sentiment , cut down , public opinion , or stab one rising thought .

THE DUNCOMBE DEMONSTRATIONS . Nxxr week our gallant Dtocombe begins his tour . On Monday he enters Manchester ; on ' S » - today , the 21 st , he will be at Newcastle ; on the 26 th , he will visit Aberdeen ; and on the 30 th , he will see the Glasgow friends .

" THE TENDENCY OF WAGES IS TO RISK " Herb are more proofs of Goosey's saying . They might be easily multiplied . These will Berve , however , for one week . They will shew the more " that the great mass of eonsumers ^ have left , to spend on clothing , when they have purchased " -cheap food 1 ' Plenty of " hobs ? the Woolcoxnbers , the Linen Weavers , and the Type Founders , have 1 Plenty-of * mobe" the " great body of consumers" have ! Here are the proofs . Let Goosey try to gobble them . They will stick in her gizzard : —
Bkatj ? obi>—Thb Woolcombers'Strike . —These over-worked and ill-paid Operatives are still struggling with some of the employers , who have refused to advance the wages according to the list price of Messrs . Wood and Walker . Every week a number of this body we forced to strike lrork , reason or argument having no effect on theirJiberal (?) employers . In some cases ialf the amount demanded is granted , and then a vote of thanks must be publicly tendered to the master : the advance in
ihose cases being a farthing ~ per peund for Borne sorts . In one or two cases the steam-lords advanced the fall amount demanded on that sort of wool which the workman very seldom f ets to . comb j bnt sot a fraction advance on the sorts in general use Many of the men declare they will not feel any benefit by the advance for six months yet , as it wil ? require that time to compensate them , owing to the nnailness of the advance , for the loss of time in obtaining it .
Babsslxt . —The weavers of Haxwortb and Co . Etpl continue ont . They are determined , let what ~ & 3 ihe the consequence , to oppose to the utmost any further reductions . The common work , which they "wish tOTednce , iB already so low , that vast numbers have not been able to average more than three or fonr shillings per week 1 and numbers of weavers in Barnsley are actually in a starving condition . Tie drill trade is also extremely dnlL Yery -few fancies have come out yet ; and there is little hope of a * brisk trade" this winter . On Monday msbt last , a weavers' meeting was convened in Pickering ' s large room , Amoroas Bnraet in-the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Grimshawand
Harper . They urged the necessity of opposing reductions ^ which they clearly showed were never beaefieaal either to manufacturer or workman . " MidluiB Covxrres . — " On Tuesday , I delivered a leciuie in Whiiwiek Market-place . The meeting was an excellent one . The working people are generally engaged in framewqrk-knittiBg and getting coal ; but unfortunately , like all other places I have been in , steeped to the very lips in poverty .

** Ttps Youkdees . —At a meeting of Trades' Delegates , holden « . t tbe Craven Head , Drory-lane , on Taesday evening , Sept . 28 , the Secretary observed , thai from " miniken" to " pica , " the masters lad reduced tne wages of the men 35 per cent . 5 that from * English" to ** canon" and " five-line" work , they iad made a reduction of 50 and 75 per cent . ; and thai the wages for fancy and figure work had beeD reduced 35 per cent . Several persons addressed the meeting ; and from those addresses it appeared that during the nine weekB » f the men ' s strike they have Bot iad Biore than 33 . a week each man for bis suppor t , and that of his family . That many were obliged to walk the streets , their goods having been seised for rent , aad that others were compelled to steal away their furniture , to prevent its being seized and sold . "

My deab FEiENie , —I regard this as tbe most important crisis that our movement has yet seen . I am watching it with most intense anxiety . If I see it take such a turn as may secure oar foothold , I shall be content ; I shall deem myself well paid for all my years of toil ; because I shall then entertain no fears of an ultimate advancement . But this will require us to exercise great caution now . The ground under us is most tickle and slippery . A single false step now taken might be irrecoverable . A single step in a wrong direction note might surround hs with difficulties , and overwhelm as with a pressure sufficient to destroy as . I hope this may not be . I hope we have learned enough of wisdom from experience to enable us now to see our way , and to choose our path .
I do not presume to threaten you , in case you should not act on my advice . I have no right to do so . I am not vain enough to think that the withdrawal of the light of my countenance would afford any serious embarassment to your proceedings ; nor , if I had such an opinion , would I seek to use it as a means of coercing your judgment or your movements . But I may advise . I may offer you my counsel . I may tell you what I think safest and wisest to be done for onr common good . I have a right to do this , and you have a right to expect it from me . And never was it more necessary for you to hear counsel from all in whom you have confidence than just now . I learn from the Star of last week , that Mr . Tidd Pratt had refused to enrol the Organization . I regard this as a most serious and ominous circumstance ; calling for the exercise of donbJe caution and determination . It is an evidence to me that
government has - taken its stand . Tidd Pratt has had his " orders" from " head quarters" and he acts under command . Had he been left free to the exercise of his own judgment he could not , nor do I believe that be would have hesitated for an instant about the matter . The whole thing is nearly a verbatim copy of the Socialists plan of Organization , which be has before enrolled . As the Editor says , in last weeks Star , * He has before certified an exactly similar plan , objects , organizition , benefits , and al / , to be * in accordance with law * " The game principles of law and duty which impelled him to act in the one case , should surely have impelled him in the other also ; and I neither can nor will believe that any man , acting oh his own free judgment ,
would so staltify himself as this refusal to certify in the prefent case stultifies Mr . Tidd Pratt . I have no doubt therefore that he acts upon " authority ;" under command ; and under promise of protection . I do not see the barrier to enrolment in Mr . _ Tidd Pratt ; but in a power above his , and from whieh he holds his place . I regard Mr . Tidd Pratt as merely " a tool" in the hands of those who " work" with him . If I do him injustice , he mnst blame for it his own inconsistency Right or wrong , that is my opinion ; and , holding that opinion , 1 think that , though , by perseverance and resolution , the enrolment may perhaps be forced , there will be much more trouble and expence about it than the Editor of the Star seems to anticipate . I have little doubt that
every impediment which all the legal and other power of government can oppose to it , will be called into requisition . The enrolment vnll be prevented if \\ be possible to do it . Bnckle on your armour for the battle , therefore ; let the Government know that a peopl e peaceable seeking the protection of the law in their efforts to promote righteousness and general good , are not to be insulted nor trifled with ; but that their reasonable and fair demands must be complied with . Let not an atom of your exertions be withheld because of this Jrebuff ; rather let them be increased . Bnt let them be made warily . Give the enemy no handle . Do not , while seeking to be legalized , offer any , the least , violation of even the oppressive and UDJust laws from whose operation you claim to be
exempted . You may still be considering the Plan of Organisation which your delegates Lave agreed to . ThiB delay will only afford you tbe opportunity of first stamping it with your approval and adoption before it receives the additional stamp of his recognition and certificate . This is , to my mind a matter of far higher momeDt . I think it far more important that the Plan should receive your approbation than Mr . Tidd Pratt ' s ; and I should like to hear from the Star of next week , that you have , with one accord , and -without one exception , met in your several localities , and determined to adopt it , whether Mr . Tidd Pratt please or not . And , in the event of ibe enrolment being ultimately and finally refused , 1 will then tell you something that perhap 3 Mr . Tidd Pratt and bis masters have not thought of .
There are at least several parts of the Plan which you may now act upon in spite ef either Mr . Tidd Pratt or any one else . You can at all events get all your branches formed as district local Associations . Yoa can plaee all these distant local associations upon the _ exact footing of the general Plan as to Organization Lnd government . There may be a Chartist Association at Birmingham , another at Redditch , another at Worcester , another at Leede , and another at Hull and these different societies may all have exactly the same Organization , and government , and lawB ,- and yet they may have no connection or correspondence at all with each other ; while theycan all Correspond with the Northern Star , , and so communicate to each other all their proceedings . This , therefore , I advise you to do , at once , and ? nat ^ T , tiv . T , p . t the Chartists of every town meet and
enrol themselves as a local body . Have nothing to do wiih any Charters or with any Cards from tne Executive until the Plan shall have been enrolled . If you d © you will be in danger ; you will arm the enemy witn an ar /> nn » ent against you ; and you wilJ de « m-y your whoJe chance of nltimate success . Jinto \ vourseiv e * as local bodies ; and adopt the Plan so T « as is- applies to local bodies ; aad liurt 15 just

as far ^ as the Organization and government of Branches is concerned . Let every separate place elect its Committee of S-sven Members , including President , Treasurer , and Secretary : divide its members into classes , and "go to work" with the Plan as a distinct local body . All these will be then ready for amalgamation as soon as the enrolment battle has been fought through . There is an important thing to be noted in tbe appointment of lecturers by the several districts . There can be no " District Boards" until after the enrolment ; unless you choose to make every member liable to transportation . The lecturers cannot therefore be appointed by the districts , just at though the Plan had been enrolled . Every delegate meeting to
appoint a district lecturer must consist of delegates specially chosen for that business , and no other ; and they most be chosen , not at meetings of the Chartist Association , but at public meetings of the inhabitaats of the town , borough , city , or parish . If a single delegate be present who has not been thus appointed—every act of the meeting will be illegal , and every man who takes part in it , and every lecturer who acts under its appointment liable to punishment . I have told yon all this some scores of times already in the Star ; and I had hoped that it might not be necessary now to repeat it . It seems however that it is , and therefore I do repeat it . In the most emphatic terms I warn you that I believe the
Government to be just now waiting eagerly and anxiously to pounce upon you . I believe that they will seize apon any opportunity which may be offered to them ; and that , if you appoint lecturers for the districts in the terms of the Plan and just as though the rules had been enrolled ; if you take out cards and Charters from the Executive , or correspond , as societies , with the Executive at all , until after tbe enrolment have been obtained , you will Burely draw down another Government prosecution ; you will have a new batch of " viotima " and victims' families" to provide for ; you will have more lawyers' bills ; more imprisonments ; and perhaps more transportations . You have surely had enough of all these before ! But jou wifi surely have more of them if you do not sow beware . Yoh never were in greater danger ; never needed more prudence than just now . Do not , for heaven ' s
sake , now that you are just getting the ship righted , again evoke the storm . Form yourselves at once into distriot local bodies—ready for general action ; but take not another step until this Organization matter is decided . You are on the very edge of a precipice ; and if you do not look well to yourselves you will be again sacrificed . I have much more to say , and shall resume the subject next week . I shall then shew you how , as distinct local bodies , you may , with the help of the Star , fight all through , and weather the new storm with ease . But commit yourselves by the appointment of District Boards , and by holding Cards and Charters from tbe Executive , under present oironmstanoes , and both they and you will live to repent that you did not act on the advioe of Your faithful friend and servant , Wk . HilV Hull , Oct . 3 rd . 1843 .

Lakchestes . Sept . 22 nd . —Teasdale , a pitman , summoned Hedley , the owner of Craig Head Colliery , for three sums—2 s ., 18 % ., and 10 a . The firBt claim was for hewing eight score "in the double " for this the bond gave 3 d . extra each Bcore . The 18 j . was for nine days , during whioh the complainant , from the pit not working , had been laid idle . The last Bum , 10 j . involved a question of considerable importance , and one upon which the masters are most obstinate .
It is the practice in almost all the Collieries for the masters to keep back a week ' s wages . This enables them to oppress tbe pitmen in a variety of ways—keeping back money for fines , &c . But the worst effect was , that the men were thus kept in a state of mental subjection to their masters , which lessened those feelings of individual independence upon which alone they can rely for the destruction of their thraldom . Against this , therefore , Mr . Roberts resolved to make a determined stand . The masters were defended by Mr . Marshall , of Durham , who put viewer after viewer into the witness box , to prove that it was altogether impossible to make the requisite calculations for paying the men in less time than a week after the
work was done . They were subjected , however , to a severe cross-examination by Mr . Roberts and were compelled to eat most of their previous statements . One admitted , but be wriggled most horribly under the operation , that sine hourB would be sufficient to calculate the wages : another brought down his seven days to thirteen hours ; a third , however , stood out for three days and persisted that nothing less would do . Mr . Roberts made an eloquent speech in defence of his clients , referring to the words in the bond and the general rules of law as proof that the masters were bound to pay all that was earned up to the
very hour of payment . After a reply from Mr . Marshall , who relied apon the " the custom of the Coal Miners , " as well as the difficulty to which hiB witnesses had deposed , the Magistrates retired and after an absence of two hours , gave their decision in favour of the pitmen . Thi 9 decision is regarded as one of immense importance , and has gone far to rafce the magistrates in public estimation . [ We have received notes of several other oases from our own correspondent ; i&deed it appears that scarcely a day passes without some struggle or other ; but they are similar to what we have already given , and we therefore omit them . —Ed .

Many paid in their subscriptions and took OHt their cards of membership . Wakefield—On Monday last John Dawson , and Benjamin Brommit , two of the men lately employed at Locke's colliery , Snaperthorpe , were brought before the sitting magistrates at Wakefield , on Monday laat , charged with assault ; when they were
commuted to the House of Correction for two months . The particulars of the alledged assault have not been sent us ; but our correspondent states thai Mr . Marshall , tbe magistrate , would not hear witnesses for the defence , who if they had been heard could have preved that the men were not present token the alleged assault took place . It was stated iu evidence that the men were on strike for wages . This is false . The men are on Btrike because Mr . Looke would deprive them of the extras heretofore allowed , viz ., one penny per score , after getting ten score on the rise , aud eight score from the dip . These are the demands of the poor working men . We believe every collier will admit that they are not more than bare justice .

DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . John Keyan in the chair . The Chairman said that he felt very proud of the honour of presiding over a meeting of his fellow citizens ; and he hoped that ere long that room , spacious as it was , would 6 oon be too small to hold them . The number now enrolled on their books was 1 , 094 members—( hear , hear ) . They had a great deal to contend against They were calumniated and vilified ; their objects and motives misrepresented to such a degree that many well-meaning men believed that they were enemies to their country ; whilst others , who understood and appreciated their principles , were
afraid to join them , lest they should be denounced , and consequently injured in their business . He should give every one a fair hearing ; and , in the event of any opposition to their proceedings , he hoped that all parties would confine themselves to the strict rules of debate—( hear , hear ) . The Secretary , Mr . . Dyott , would read the rules « n . 4 .. objeets of the Association , for the information of those who were unacquainted with them . At all events , it was a wholesome practice to read them —( hear , )—a practice which he thought should always be adopted at their meetings . Tne Association may well be proud of them They are founded upon the genuine principles of Radical Reform . They form a political creed which is short
and easy learned . This sooiety is like the temperance movement . Men who join it become better thinkers and better citizens . After some further excellent observations , the Chairman resumed his seat . Mr . Dyott read the last day ' s proceedings whiob were confirmed . He then read toe objects and the rules of the society . Mr . Dyott said that before they proceeded with the business of the meeting he should like to read one of the best , if not the very best letter , he had ever seen . It was written by Feargus O'Connor , and was truly patriotic as well as unanswerable . Mr . Dyott read the letter which was loudly cheered . Mr . O'Higgius spoke at considerable length , in confirmation of several facts in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , and referred to the
auto-biography of Mr . Archibald Hamilton Rowan in proof of Mr . O'Connor ' s former statement respecting the bigotry and deceitfulnessof the bepraised | Lord Cbarlemont . Mr . Rowan , whose veracity no man ever doubted , fully bears oat Mr . O'Connor ' s statement . Its truth cannot be impeached . There it stands in the very words whioh Mr . O'Connor quotes . He was glad to see them made public , as he hated cant and hypocrisy , either in religion or politics . This expoii . is worth gold .: It shows up the present Whig decoy duck . " Any ; money from Lord Charlemoxt , " said O'Connell , their dog . * ' Why does the present Noble Lord tarnish bis great name by
remaining quiescent , and not following in the footsteps of his Noble father , Lord Charlemont , of 1782 . " This is the way O'Connell betrays the Irish into the hands of their enemies . He knew the character of the late Lord Charlemont , just as well as Mr . O'Connor ; but it would not suit his plans to let his dupes know it . Mr . O'Connor has all the historical facts connected with Ireland ; they are part and parcel of his family records ; and now , as the Worihern Star is pretty generally read in Ireland , it his duty to expose the mock patriots of ancient aud modern times—Clear , hear ) . Mr . Woodward rose , and , in a very sensible speech , proposed the following address : —
, TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , For in y « u we behold brethren—men who , recognizing the universality of human right , are banded together in the holy pur-Bait of that freedom which ehall include within its wide embrace every memberof the community , without reference to his religious creed , adventitious position , or worldly possessions . ¦ ** We aTe mutually enduring injustice and oppresgionyr-let omt ] struggle be mutual to accomplish the annihilation of a system of monopoly , idleness * and immunity for the few—labour , privation , and exclusion for the many . The oligarchy who tread upon the proscribed people , have devised many plans by which that free discussion whioh they dread , that popular assembly which they hate , and which , if they dared , they would totally prohibit , may be fettered 4 and repressed .
la your more favoured country , however , tyranny wears not so bold a front , and loaches with more timorous hand , the last traces of political privilege remaining to the people . In our unfortunate land , divisions among i Ia infatuated sons , have left freedom more defenceless , and the spoiler has more ruthlessly attacked , and more recklessly retrenched the the power of 1 be-people-to agitate for a redress of their grievances . An act framed fifty years ago , still stains the Irish Statute book with an ordinance from which your
country is happily exempt ; by it no focus or concentration of popular opinion can ever be formed in Ireland ; by it no body of men deputed by those amongst whom they live , and whose confidence they possess , can meet together to confer 02 , and direct the movements of the people : nay , so stringent is tbe letter of this obnoxious law , that not even an assembly of deputies from respective handicrafts can meet together io settle affairs of trade without subjecting themselves to its penal operations—need we inform , you , that the degrading statute to which we allde is called—the Convention Act ?
Men of Britain , we know that this infernal law was passed by Mr . what O'Connell facetiously calls a free and Independent Irish Parliament . We know , too , that it was pased in the year when the middle and merchant classes obtained what is called free trade . We further know that no attempt has ever been made by the braggadocio patriots of Ireland in the Imperial parliament to obtain its repeal , even when they were backed by the whole power aud influence of their friends , the Whigs . It is reserved for us , humble aa we are , to Beek this modicum of justice for our country ; and for you to provo by your conduct that you are indeed the sound-hearted and generous lovers of universal freedom , without regard to caate , creed , or country , which it is the boast of the Chartists of Great Britain , and of them alone , as the irub descendants of the pristine apostles of real Radical Reform on all occasions , to have confiifcUjnilv bIwwu themselves w be .

We beseech you then , brethren , to join us in petitioning generally ] and unceasingly , for a repeal of this liberty stabbing law , which for half a century has disgraced pur restrictive code . Could it even be established that necessity had called it into existence , that necessity had long since passed away j and it fixes eternal infamy on that party who so boastingly proclaimed themselves desirous of equalizing the laws and constitutional privileges of the two countries , that in the moment of its strength and power it did not obliterate this odious distinction ; aud deeper infamy still attaches to our own loudtalking liberal representatives , that they never yet demanded the extinction of this badge of inferiority and degradation . 1
Let your petitions be written upon plain paper and sent from every email locality . Suoh will be the least expensive and the most effective mode of assailing power with the only legal weapon left within the grasp of the people . Believe us , brethren , heartily yours in the keen sense of mutual wrong and the fixed resolve never to relax in oar peaceble but energetic moral efforts to secure for every ] man his inherent natural and nalienable right—which can only be secured by making the Charter the law of the land . Patrick O'Higgins , President . W . H . Dyott , Secretary .
Mr . Dyott begged leave to second tbe adoption of the address . Mr . j O'Higgins , their worthy president , had spoken so fully un the importance of getting rid of the odious Convention Act , that it was , unnecessary to dwell for a moment on that subject . Mr . O'Higgins had ; adverted to the latest title chosen for Mr . O'Conuell ' s new association , with a capital of £ 30 , 000 , which was to meet in Conciliation Hall , on Burgh Quay . It appeared that the " Liberator " not being able , even with all his acknowledged adroitness , subtlety , and ingenuity to drive a coach and six through the Convention Act , bad determined to call the prospective assembly—the * Preservative Society . " While Mr . O'Higgins was speaking , he ( Mr . D ) . had been thinking whether " preserve "
and " conserve" were not synonymous and convertible terms ; and he had arrive ^ at the conclusion that it was impossible for the most hair-splitting discrimination to find any difference ever so small or " fine , " as Sheridan Knowlea wosld say , between the two words—they differed slightly in sound bat were identical in sense —( hear ) . Mr . O'Connell therefore , he ( Mr . D . ) supposed in order to conciliate the Orangemen . —was about to establish a " Conservative Association" ) in Ireland —( hear , and laughter ) . So much for the forthcoming Parliament—ii was to be a Conservative j Association , and nothing more . Now , with regard to the continued abuse heaped on Mr . Feargus O'Connor : be ( Mr . D . ) had no acquaintance , personal or otherwise , with that
gentleman , nor had he any object to gain by endeavouring to believe him the pink of political perfection . He happened , however , to agree with Mr . O'Connor in the principles which constituted the Charter ; aad he could not but admire the ability , perseverance , and consistency , which characterised that gentleman ' s course—( hear ) . He ( Mr . D ) could not , however , } altogether resist the impression made by the repeated inuendoes and denunciations of Mr . O'Connell and his myrmidons ; and he had many misgivings that there must be some real cause for all the invective and vituperation poured upon the devoted head of the Chartist leader . He had , therefore , inquired , examined , and watched ; and what was the result 1 Why , that he had never
been able to learn , nor could he ever ebservo any crime , fault , or even imprudence , justly chargeable on Mr . O'Connor : while he had seen a great people—the English industrious classesdenuded of those withering prejudices which held them apart from their Irish brethren , and absolutely made " more Irish than the Irish themselves , '' by the exertions of that calumniated individual in Suestion—( load cheers ) . Honour , then , to Mr . 'Connor , from all Irishmen who possessed one spark of feeling and : gratitude ! aad doubly base was he who heard him maligned , and protested not against it—( cheers ) . 1 Yet Mr . O'Connell abused him ; and Mr . O'Connell is " an honourable man . " Now , there was an individual called Richard Lalor Shiel
once a bold advocate for Ireland and Repeal , and the spirited coadjutor of Mr . Daniel O'Connell in all political measures , offensive and defensive . Bat 11 a change had come over the spirit of his dream" ; in fact , he was a renegade —( hear ) . Of course , Mr . O'Connell , the master of invective , was very severe on him , who had really committed treason , when he was so unsparing in attacking Feargus O'Connor , whom no one could substantiate a specific offence against—( hear ) . No ; Mr . O'Connell said not a word against Lalor Shiel . \ He was still his personal friend , but Mr . O'Connor had aa unlucky falling out with Mr . O'Connell , and hence this hostility—( hear , bear ) . But was Shiel content with deserting the camee of the people ? No : he had in the late discussion on the
Arms' Bill suggested , that instead of being tried by their peers , tbe peasantry charged with agrarian offences , should be tried by a jury selected from the landlord class—the ** grand panel" as they called it ; that is by the veryj parties who were at variance with them , and wished to crush them —( hear , hear ) . Arid when the Tory jolass complained that it was as difficult to procure evidence , as it was to get a jary to convict ; he recommended that large bonuses should be offered to witnesses , and the prompt protection of the crown afforded them ; that in fact the spy and hired informer system should be adopted
which produced a Delahunfc , and that blood-money should be freely sported amongst all who were heathens enough to ' swear away the lives of their countrymen aad perjure themselves for gold—( hear , and cheers ) . Upoa this man ' s conduce one word of censure was never uttered ; the apostate friend of O'Connell was passed over in partial silence , while the consistent and fearless advocate of liberty with whom be had a personal quarrel , was denounced , and nations kept asunder to gratify a selfish spleen —( hear ) . If this be patriotism , from patriotism good Lord deliver ub ! ( Mr . D . resumed his seat amid loud cheers . ) j

Keegan , the meeting separated . \ London . —Political and Scientific Institution , Turnagain-Lane . —At a numerous meeting of the City Chartists held at the above Institution , on Tuesday evening last , the following resolution was carried nnanimously : — " That we hold a public meeting on Tuesday evening next , to start a Chartist candidate for the city of London , in the room of Sir Matthew Wood , deceased .
