The Money Market highly Prosperous and Great Increase in the Revenue--Arrival of the Great Overland Mail from India and China---Great Excitement in Ireland, in Preparation for the Trials, &e. &c. By the arrival yesterday of the packet ship Montezuma, Captain Lowber, we have highly important accounts from England, to the 9th ult., being five “days later than our last accounts. The accounts of commer- affairs are highly prosperous. Cotton is again on the advance, and from the move- ments of the Bank of England, it 1s probable it will yet increase. All the other markets are also on the advance. The Money Market is flourishing, and the English revenue highly prosperous. On the whole, this news will probably add about $1,500,000 to the value of American produce now in market. , Great excitement exists in Ireland and vast pre- parations are making to convict O’Connell, and for ever put down repealfagitation. The crisis of re- volution or repeal is rapidly approaching. O’Con- nell is in high spirits and so are his troops ; but he seems to expect a conviction. The pretty little Queen has been in trouble, in debt, in tears, thrown into a hedge, and in the way that ladies are who love their lords. Howqua the great Hong merchant is dead, This is a serious loss to America. The news from India is interesting. The Hon. Mr. Cushing had left Bombay for Canton. ‘The revenue of the Kingdom of Great Britain had increased £725,670 in the quarter ending Jan. 5th, 1844—£552,879 of which was from Customs. The total increase for the year ending January 5th 1844, was £5,742,078. The Samuel Hicks had arrived out. The Marquis of Westminster has joined the Corn Law League. Charles Swaine, the calico engraving poet of Manchester, hasbeen elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. His chief work at present is “The Mind,” which is very popular. The Duke of Grafton has resigned the Lord Lieutenancy of the County of Suffolk. The rumor that Lord de Grey was about to be recalled from the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland is contradicted on authority. A “ reallive Chinese” mandarin is about to visit the Court of St. James. No reduction is contemplated by Government in the duty on tobacco, but it is said that some altera- tion in the excise law affecting it will be made. Several destructive fires have occurred in Lon- don. The new Roman Catholic Cathedral at Lambeth is the largest structure ever erected in Great Bri- tain by voluntary contributions. It is now com- pleted. “The total cost is £100,000. A.son of Mivart, the fashionable hotel keeper in Brook street, has been remanded by the Insolvent Debtor’s Court, to eight manths imprisonment for contracting debts without any reasonable expecta- tion of paying them. His father allowed him £200 per annum and the run of the hotel ; but this was not sufficient, andin two years he was £5500 in debt. The father of Count D'’Orsay died in France on the 26th December. :. Fearcus O’Connon.—“ Red Fergus” has chal- lenged Mr. Cobden to a discussion on the Corn Laws. Mrs. Watson, mother of the late celebrated Me- thodist preacher, Richard Watson, expired at Not- tingham on the 3lst December. She was in her 90th year. The Duke of Bordeaux, after taking atourthrough the principal {manufactaring districts, and the prin- cipality of Wales, and the chief towns in the West, has taken up his residence pro tem.‘at Brighton, which will be mere than usually gay this winter. England. ‘Tue Revenve.—It has lately been our gree duty to present to the public a rich array of prov splendid of the rous advance made by the empire within the fie years, ibe shear of a pru ots ‘nd patriotic administration of the government. Peace co and confirmed—the British terri- tories profitably augmented—-manufactures and commerce restored—boundless fields opened to their enterprise: value of British public obligations enhanced ten per cent. To-day we complete the gratifying work by announcing an improvement in the revenue wholly without ex- ample, under any circumstances approaching to si- milarity. "The readerd of the Standard were prepared, by our brief eneral, but accurate, announcement of last night, for a increase in the public con- tributions of 1843 beyond those of the preceding year ; in our at number we lay the figures in detail bofore them. in the tables inserted in our first page they will see an increase, a large increase im every branch of revenue which can by any con- struction be treated as an index tothe state of the mass of the people, with reference to their enjoy- ments, or to their active industry. The year’s increase on the excise amounts to no less than £387,503, the total increase of all sources of revenue, deducting decrease upon those heads of taxation which are proofs of distress not rity—such as the corn daties and the stamp duties—amounts, exclusive of the property tax, to £1,068,974—more than one million sterling. In- cluding the property tax, the increase would be £5,745, 078, and as respects the resources of the Exchequer, its ability to meet the demands of the public service, ag respects, too, the general ability of the nation, this increase of nearly six millions sterling is, questionless, a bona fide increase. But this is not the light in which we wish to have the returns looked to at present; we would direct at- tention to them asevidence of the national progress, not as evidence of the national strength, of which, i there never was any rational doubt. Let us then take the property tax from both yen because it was collected during a part only of 1842, and we shall have a comparative view to which.no excep- tion can be taken, viz.:— 1842—44 minus 571,056. pees nnse operty-tax ....... eee eeee FOR seis 00,071,089) minus property-tax......... eee eee eee 44,822,683 one he fin heey exclusive of 1903974 us, exclusive ot the iproperty-t ry, despite of its reflex operation, wine the opponents of the measure threatened to be so injurious to other sources of ag de Beyer of the property-tax, and, in spite of all the mischief it was to do—the ordinary sources of reyenue are more productive in eA, then they were in 1842 by one million ster- ing, and up’ ‘ ; ven this, however, is an inadequate view of the poo 83. Of the face of the weustas be- fore us, there appears we must admit, a decrease, though’a trifling one, in. the Customs of last year. How this decrease has arisen will at once appear by « comparison of the corresponding quarters of the two years, compared as follows:— auton aantor Peri rein 1842 a 14. loo Season 4,357,208 8,629,808 4, From this statement it is seen that the great ex- cess of reyenye in 1842 arises upon the October warter of that year—an excess eka attri- butable to the prodigious mass of foreign corn im- ported or taken out of bond at the 8s. duty in the months of August and September, rated, if we mistake not, at three millions of quarters. ch re- venue ia an index of loss and not of gain, as for ev- ery shilling gained by the exchequer the farmer NEW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6, 1844. must have lost at least three, and lost the money mever to return to this country. Upon the same Bees upon which, in order to arrive at a fair compurative view of the revenue of the two years, we have struck out the property tax for both years, we ought tostrike out the corn duties, which made up so large a part of last year’s revenue, and have produced little or nothing in the ent year. It we had the figures enabling us to do this, there ia no reason to doubt that the actual increase of the ordinary fixed sources of revenue, instead of rest- ing, happily high, as it does, above one million sterling, would closely approach to two millions. Such, at least, is apparently the just inference from the fact, that upon a comparison of the concluding quarters of the two years, in neither of which quar- ters did the corn duties sensibly operate, the last quarter presents an increase of more than half a million. As to the other trifling deficiencies, they can be all as easily exp) lained, while they whose business it is to find fault, will be somewhat at a loas to explain away one ‘shilling of the noble increase of more than one million ster- jing, wholly exclusive of the property tax. Acctpent To Her Masgsty.—An accident, which was happily attended with no serious result, oc- eurred to her Majesty onthe 4th January, in the im- mediate vicinity of the village of Horton, near Datchet. The Queen, attended by the Marchion- ¢ss of Douro, proceeded to the meet of his Royal Highness Prince Albert’s hariers (which took place at the Manor House at Horton) in an open pony phaeton and pair, driven by a postillion, ee taking too short a turn in entering the road near the Five Bells, the near wheel of the carriage, from the rot- tenness of the side of the road (occasioned by the late frost and rapid thaw), sank into the ditch, throwing the carriage against the hedge ; the horse upon which the postillion was riding sinking in from thejsamne cause. Her Majesty and the Mar- chioness of Douro were speedily rescued from their perilous position by Colonel Arbuthnot, who was in attendance upon the Queen on horseback. A small pony carriage, belonging to Mr. Holderness, of Horton, passing by at the moment, the use of it to her Majesty was immediately proffered by the lady who was driving, and graciously accepted by the Queen, who was driven back to the Castle by Colonel Arbuthnot, attended by the lady in waiting. The hounds being near the spot, a messenger was immediately dispatched to Prince Albert, who ac- companied her Majesty on her return on horseback. The laborers who assisted in getting the carriage out of the ditch were liberally rewarded by com- mand of the Queen. Portsmourn, Jan.5.—Tus Duc pe BorpEavx.— His Royal Highness, accompanied by a suite of ten Ts0ns, aMOng whom are Admiral Joyeuse, the Duke dEscars, &c Wc., arrived at the George Ho- tel last evening from Southampton. The Admiral’s barge was in attendance on his Royal Highness this morning, when with his suite he visited the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard, afterward landed at the Dockyard, and visited Rear Admiral Hyde Parker, whose Flag Lieutenant conducted his rane ness and suite over the different departments of the dockyard. In the afternoon, his Royal Highness visited the Royal Naval Homies at Haslar, return- ing to the George Hotel to dinner. To-morrow it is expected he will leave for Brighton, to which place he is now en route. Mr. Brauam’s Concert.—It will be seen, by an advertisement in auother page, that the veteran Braham will, on the 22d instant, personally intro- duce his celebrated son, Mr. Hamilton Braham, to the Liverpool public, at the Royal Assembl: Rooms, in Great George street. Mr. Braham will also be attended by hisson, Mr. C. Braham. The efforts of such a trio cannot fail to prove attractive Surrty or Gas ro THE Merropo.is.—Last night at seven o’clock the adjourned meeting, which was convened in persaanes of a requisition presented to the churchwardens, to take into consideration the present state and mode of supplying the public with gas, and to devise, if practicable, some mode of establishing a standard of purity and measure for the same, took place in the vestry of the parish of St. Martin’s-in-the-fields. Dr. Jones was called to the chair. Dr. Jones stated that one of the Principal tiev- ances. which not only the householders of that parish labored under, but every consumer of gas throughout the United Kingdom, was, that great partiality existed in its supply, those who burned by meter having to pay much more than those who are supplied by contract. He maintained that all ike should burn by measure, and that such mea- sure should be regulated by some government enactment, like that which now kept in check the fraudulent tradesmen from cgi Spy than autho- rised weights and measures. So far as regarded the gas meters at present in use, nearly all, if not all, were deficient ; and what was the course pur- sued by the companies? Why, ghey compelled every consumer, ere they permitted his putting a meter up, to send it to the directors, to tested by their officers. The consequence in thousands, indeed in almost every case, was that a meter was palmed upon the consumer’s premises, which would measure gas to a very large amount against the purchaser; and that so soon as it rose to the fair, or water line, it refused to register in his favor. He (Dr. Jones) submitted that such a state ot things ought not to be tolerated. Nor is the gas as pure as it ought to be. The first one or two hours the coal used gives off pure gas; the next, an inferior description; and, after this, a quality high- ly detrimental to the health and to the purity of the light, was manufactured. Yet there was no con- trol over these things. In Brussels, on the con- trary, and perhaps in other continental cities and towns, a law existed which kept in check the cu- pidity of the companies. Where gas was supplied of a bad quality, the consumer was compelled to burn three or four times as much as otherwise to obtain a sufficient light. Several other gentlemen then spoke; after which resolutions were carried, with the view of fol- lowing up the object in question, and amongst them was one to the effect that a committee be immediately formed to meet and confer with other parishes. Anti-Stavery Movements.—A report of the late past Anti-Slayery Convention in London had just en published, in a large volume, containing a re- port of all the sayings and doings of every body —. every thing, connected with this subject. he editor of the London Advertiser says:—* A very large portion of the volume relates to slave: in ‘he Southern States of America, And mowhere does the demon of slavery assume a more repulsive aspect than in that land of republican institutions. The details of the outrages perpetrated by the spu- rious republican slave proprietors on their unfortu- nate victims, cannot be read without feelings of ab- solute horror. Never was denunciation more de- served than that which Mr. O’Connell some years ago, hurled at the heads of the slave-holders in the United States. They felt its justice ; they writhed under its power; and even up till the present mo- ment they have not forgotten Mr. O’Connell. The savage hate of such men Mr. O’Connell cannot but regard as one of his holiest tributes. One or two more similar conventions will suffice to abolish slavery in all parts of the globe.” Tea Party or Larren Day Saints.—The sect commonly designated the Latter Day Saints held a tea party, on the 25th ult., in Middlewich, Cheshire. Though the town is smail, aud this body of people is generally dpa Sightingt of, between one and two hundred attended, and partook of tea, &c. They are, apparently, a good-humored and agreea- ble people. The room was beautifully adorned ; and the company seemed much ified with the fare provided for the occasion. Previous to separa- ting they sung a suitable hymn, expressive of some of their opimons. Deatt rrom Steering on A Dawe Bep.—The Shrewsbury Journal mentions the demise of Mr. John Morris, i merchant, of Mardol, in that town, whose death was caused by having slept in a damp bed at an inn, in Nantwich, a fortnight be- fore, and adds, ‘‘ We sincerely wish there was a law to punish severely all persons who are guilty of this highly reprehensible practice of putting their — to sleep in damp beds, as many valuable lives ave been wantonly sacrificed in consequence.” The Chief Justiceship of the newly acquired set- tlement, Hong-Kong, has heen o d to no less than seven members of the English bar, and been declined by them all, although the salary attached to the office is to be £3000 a year.

Employment in the grent manufacturing bu- siness of this country is becoming more and more the staple employment of her people, and the pros- perity of her manufacture more and more the sta- ple prosperity of the empire. The returns, then, of the state and condition of her manufacturing busi- ness, and of the markets (home or foreign) upon which it is dependent, present in some sort a test of the general ultimate prosperity of the whole country. Now, in the present year the result of these returns is on the whole favorable ; and rela- tively speaking—looking to the immediate past, and to the anticipations which it might reasonably have suggested—not simply favorable, bui highly encouraging. But itis not to this mere general re- sult, orto the inferences or speculations to which it might cgivesrise that we nowrefer. A great com- mercial experimment—not, it is true, adventured in any extre} or wholly unreserved _Measure, but still, to a de@free which warrants us in saying that there was an experiment—a change—an alteration of system—has been in progress during the past year. A more open and extended system of inter- national trade, the mutual benefits of which (if it could only be realised in practice) to all the mari- time countries of Europe and Ameriea, have long been admitted in theory, has been attempted to be reduced, so far as the commereial policy of Eng- land is concerned, into somethin, tike an approxi- mation to practical operation. The general reduc- tion of our import duties, which so peculiarly di tinguished the last change in our commercial tari and which was made in the very face of a series of the. most adverse commercial negociations—of negociations expressly conducted by foreign powers upon principles of the most selfish prohibition— which was made in the face of the most numerous array of the most highly hostile tariffs that has ap- peared almost within commercial memory—this reduction, we say, under these circumstances, was a pledge that England, the first commercial and manufactoring country of the globe, was in earnest in the principles which she advocated, and sincere inher faith in their success, And what has been the result? What has been the specific result in extending and opening foreign markets, and what the general one upon our own manufacturing business? So far as foreign tarifls are concerned, the result has been, it must be owned, literally nothing. In the course of last spring, as the issues of the seve- ral negociations with Russia, France, Portugal,and the Brazils, and the fruits of the hostile tari the United States,and the European protectionist coun- tries, were successively developing themselves, we took occasion, from time to time, to deduce and insist upon the moral with which these occurrences were pregnant; and while urging the incalculable benefits which must accrue to all parties from the adoption of more liberal and extended principles of commerce—so only that the liberality were recip- rocal—to deprecate the cession of our own adyan- tages until we were certain that the considerations for the purpose of obtaining which that cession had been made were tolerably safe to be realized. No, it is to ourselves, and to our own markets, that we have chiefly to trust. ‘That the natural ad- vantages which have led to the establishment of. one staple trade or manufacture in this country,and another, and a different one, in that—which have made cotton-spinning the business here, and corn- growing the occupation there—must ultimately over come the artificial restrictions of tariffs and con- ventions, we can certainly entertain but little doubt; but these are results which cannot be forced. We may give up our all to gain them, and yet find our- selves in the end no nearer them than before. in the meanwhile, we must look to the extension of our markets by such means as are safe and certain, and in such "ga as must always be open to us— we mean, of course, by colonization, and we refer to the resources and ‘agency of our vast colonial empire. While that is secured to us, ana soundly and wisely administered, we may safely let foreign tariffs take their course, secure the while that what is for the benefit of the whole will certainly con- quor in the end.— Times. Universiry Inteuiicence.—Oxrorp.—January having come, the graduates have gone into the country to relresh for more theological squabbling, a grand set-to being anticipated in next term. Ma- ny ot the under-graduates remain in Oxford during the vacation, ‘to read Ethics with a fellow of the College,” although how they effect this by residing at Bichester, with four hunters and a hack, is not immediately evident. Romanism continues to make awful advance. Such expressions as “I would the Pope’s gay lot were mine,” with allu- sions highly complimentary to “the monks of old,” are heard poeny, aud ‘at hours which lead us to suppose that the choir are engaged in nocturns or it early matins. There is a distinctive species calfed “the Fast Men,” no doubt from their abste- mious self-denial. Many of these, at the late ex- amination, did not answer certain questions put to them, and when they did respond, their replios were strange and very different from the explana- tions of established commentators.—Punch. , Ing Tonacco Trape.—From the result of the interviews had hy deputations of the tobacco trade with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is interred that no reduction of duty is contemplated, but that there will be an alteration in the Excise law affect- ing the article.

Srate Triats—Tue Speciat Jury.--The pro- eses of striking a Special Jury in the case of the State traversers commenced at twelve o’clock on Wednesday, in the office of Mr. Bourne, clerk of the Crown. ‘The Government reporter and a reporter from the trayersers were present, but no other reporters were allowed admission, An application was made. on the part of the traversers fora postponement of the summons, as they had ne copy of the jury panel, though several applications had been made for it, and they could not without it sustain any objec- tion they mighthave to the names drawn. After some conversation it was agreed that an adjourn- ment should take place till the following day, and that each of the traversers should be allowed to take a cepy of the panel. The “special panel” for the year contains the names of seven hundred and seventeen persons, sworn to be worth £5,000 each at least, and a cor- responding number of cards, numbered from one to seven hundred and seventeen, were to be thrown into a box and shaken about, and then forty-eight cards were to be drawn out, and the persons whose numbers in the general list correspond with those on the cards were to form the list. The two par- ties: manny, the crown and the traversers, were next tostrike offeach twelve names, and, of the Leman pda -four, the twelve who should first answer when called in Court would constitute the special jury. . ‘ The process of striking the jury list commenced on Tharsday, when Mr. Brewster and Mr. Langley aftended on behalf of the crown, and Messrs. Whiteside, Mahony, and others on behalf of the traversers. It appears that the panel, of which a copy had been granted, had been examined, when it is alleged the traversers’ counsel found, that a number of the persons admitted as qualified jurors were not recorded on the list; and it is said that the parties so omitted are all liberals, and many of them Catholics. According to the Freeman of Friday last, Mr. Whiteside spoke as follows:— “There was a fact of which the agents forthe tra- versers became aware, for the first time, yesterday evening. At an advanced hour they received a ,} should proceed; and copy of the special panel from which the jury in this case was to be struck; and, on looking through it, they had discovered, that, by some most extra- ordinary and unaccountable mistake, the names of a large portion of the public who were entered on the jurors’ book as qualiied to act as special jurors had been omitted from the special list. They had, ina very short time, discovered the names of no less than sixty-five persons which had been adjudi- cated upon by the Recorder, and entered in the common jury-book, as special jurors, altogether omitted from the special jury list He did not wish to use harsh language to any person, but he could not helf observing, that this had occurred either from an unpardonable mistake or from some un- derhand collusion. He submitted, on the whole, that the officer could not proceed to strike a jury on such A pendleahed been returned by the Sheriff.” Mr. Ford, on the part of Mr. O'Connell, said, “There was a gross and infamous suppression of the Jurors, let the fault be where it will,” and added, “T tell you, that sixteen names of most respectable Roman Catholics have been suppressed in that list.” The following was the only explanation of- tered:—‘ The Sub-Sheriff said, that in the absence of the High Sheriff, he felt bound to state thatevery single person selected by the Recor er was placed upon the list, and every single ane. sneering on the Recorder’s book, marked as special jurors, was-on the special panel. Mats single one was com- pared by the High Sherif!’ and himself, name by name, andevenletter by letter. If then, there were any omissions or inaccuracies, they were not to be attributed to the Sheriff or to him.” Mr. Brewster insisted that the Clerk of the Crown the latter, conceiving that he had no authority to decline, as we suppose he had not, proceeded accordingly (but under protest from the traverser’s attorneys) to shake the box and draw out the cards. A few objections were made, and one or two persens, officially or otherwise disqua- lified, were passed over, and, at length, forty-eight names were drawn out. On Friday the parties attended before the Clerk of the Crown for the purpose of reducing the list— Mr, Mahony offered affidavits of the parties omit- ted, and every proof necessary to bring the matter before the law officers in a tangible shape, propo- sing to have the list at once amended. All his ob- servations were met by the clerk with the reply, that he had nothing to do with the matter,and that his simple duty was to see the list reduced. Mr. Mahony at length handed in a formal protest. The ‘parties proceeded, Mr. Kemmis for the Crown and Mr. Cantwell for the traversers, to re- duce the list, each naming one alternately, Mr. Kemmis never failing to name either a Catholic or a Liberal, eleven of the former and one of the lat- ter, and Mr. Cantwell each time exclaiming, “There’s another Roman gone!” ‘The list was at length reduced to the twenty-four whose names follow:— 1 James Hamilton, 1 UpperfOrmond.quay, wine mer chant 2, James C.

George Fowler, 4 Anglesea street, wine merchant, Great complaints are made that the Crown should have struck off every Catholic that turned up from the ballot box, which is considered equiva- Jent to packing @ jury, as the traversers will now be tried by a jury composed entirely of Protestants. Mr. Steele has given instructions to have James Graham, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Rober Peel, and Lord Lyndhurst immediately summoned to give evidence on histrial. Sir James Graham is his principal English witness, we believe, in con- sequence ot the fact that Mr. Steele wasa member of the Birmingham Political Union when the pre- sent Secretary for the ilome Department was a whig. So decided is Mr. Steele’s purpose of com- ling these four ministers of the crown to undergo is personal examination, defending himself as he did before without counsel, that, notwithstanding his perfect knowledge of the extent of English Pr judice at present against O*Connellites and Re- pealers, he will, after examining Lord Plunket, offer to go to London and take his trial before a jury of Englishmen if the Cabinet Ministers should ity 10 deprive him of justice by evading coming to Dublin. It appears, from the Dublin Evening Post of Sa turday, that the Catholics are grievously offended at the insult which they conceive has been offered to them, and that in the course of the week, a requisition will appear for an aggregate meeting of the whole Catholic body, for the pur- pose of denouncing this alleged grievous wrong. Repeat Assoctation.—The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held, on Tuesday last in the Gouciliation-hall. Dr. Murphy was. called to the chair. Mr. John O’Connell, after, some re- marks on the subject of the election of the new Lord Mayor, read_two_ letters from his father, Danie) O'Connell, Esq. M. P., the first of which called for a vote of thanks to Mr. Smith O’Brien and the Rev. Mr. O’Malley, and the second en- closed subscripions of £13 5s from himself and family to the Kepeal rent. After some remarks on arecent article in the Edinburgh Review, Mr. J. O'Connell announced the amount of the Repeal rent for the whek as £289 2s. 2d., remarking that the average receipts this time twelve months were £70 or £50 a week. The Leinster Express states, that Mrs, Waller is out of danger, and recovering, though’ slowly.— There are some persons 1n jail on suspicion of b concerned inthe massacre.

Mr. O’Connett..—Mr. O'Connell has been mak- ing triumphant progress through some parts of Ire- land previously to the commencement of the trials On Tuesday night Mr. O'Connell arrived in Cork. On tha Tollowing day a deputation of the citizens waited upon him, ympanied by the Mayor, who invite him to a public dinner on any day he should please to name, after his acquittal. Mr. O’Connell said he would accept the compliment the moment Baron Pennefather would give his permission. ‘The acquittal depended more on the sort of jury than on his guilt or innocenc and, if an impartial jury were struck, the whole affair would not last forty-eight hours. The Cork Examiner gives this account of his reception there :— ‘The honorable and learned gentleman arrived here last night on his way to Clonmel, He looks extremely well and is in the full ow of animal spirits, notwithstanding the impending prosecution, This morning a deputation of most respectable citizens waited on him at M'’Dowel to learn his opinion on various matters connected w: the political affairs of the city, but especially as to the for. mation of acity club. The deputation were introduced by Alderman T. Lyons. The Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan ex- plained jthe nature and objects of theclub. He read the rules drawn up for its guidance and government. Mr. O'Connell said, as to the nature of the assistance they required from him, he thought there was no necessi- ty for their coming to him at all for advice. ‘They were better judges on that head than he was. He saw with re- gret atideof differences arising every day amongst them, Uill the flood at length threatened to swamp them entirely, and Vincent & Co. would have the entire government of Cork. He hoped they would not deem it presumptuous of him when he implored them to forget all past differences, and let byegones be byegones. He found that it was a wise principle of the Athenians to consider no mana pa- triot who had not “the talent to forget”—to forget bygone injuries of every kind. Me was only anxious th clase ahould work together, and that all person ies and petty feelings should be banished frot them, They felt the effect of this state of thing: lin, where they had to contend with great difficulties.— They at last decided to pull together, and the only way they thought it advisable te bring round an amicable state of things was by forming a liberal club. In the course of a fortnight, to use a vulgar phrase, ‘all the fat was in the fire.” He found, at length, that the only party who would pull together were the repealers. The repeal war- dens were not aclub, but they took the management of the different wards into their own hands, and they close- ly watched the registry; the consequence was they suc- ceeded. They did not allow their minds to be. Wiassed by this, that, or the other, The repeal wardens worked to e!- fect this ‘object, that every man who was entitled to it should have the power of voting, The plan they adopted was this—they got street lists, they went round and knocked atevery man’s door, and asked him if his taxes were They sometimes, to be haw I a herd word or some anger, but they succeeded by. perse verance, But for the payment of the municipal rates they would have added considerably to their forces. — They gained the Custom House Ward by a majority of five at first—now they had a majority of twenty-four Price Twe Cents, This wos the way that the Repeal Wardens worked: They were all industry, but no speeching. He could not we them the advice of wisdom, but he could give them ‘at of experience, which perha was equally valuable, He confessed the result of their late el 8 frightened | him a little.

But if they did not take proper steps to keep up its vitality, he anticipated danger; but the citizens had always a recu- power in themselves to prevent the effects of mis- management orapathy. To be sure, there were liberals amongst them who were not repealers—and, of course, they had a right not to be so if they thonght proper—but the repealens were, after all, the working men. He de- cla to Heaven he saw and felt that every thing was uselass but repeal.
