CELL LL LO LCL CLL I LITT LE LETT tet eee HE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol. X., No. 341—Whale No. 3941, HALF A MONTH LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CALEDONIA, AT BOSTON. FEMOVEMENTS OF THE COTTON SPINNERS. APATHY IN EUROPE. Agitation in Ireland Again. The Caledonia, Captain Lott, arrived at Boston harbor on Friday night, about 8 o’clock, but, owing to a dense fog, was unable to get upto the city till Saturday forenoon. She brings London and Liverpool papers to the 19th inst., the day of sailing. The advices by this arrival are neither important nor interesting. Money seems to be increasing in value, and the cotton market continues in a quiet, healthy state. ‘< The steamship Acadia, Capt. Harrison, reached Liverpool on the 14th ult. Mr. White, the newly appointed Consul at Liver- pool, has arrived there, and having been approved of by the Queen, has commenced his official duties at the port of Liverpool. ms Ata large meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, strong resolutions were adopted for securing the repeal of the duty on raw cotton, The amount of the duty 1s three quarters of a million sterling—a large sum, forming no inconsiderable item in the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s annual budget. But the tax is found to be so oppressive, 80 injurious to the operations of the English manu- facturer, crippling his power, and_preventi: ji from competing with his foreign rival, th thought probable Ministers, during the ensuing meeting of Parliament, will consent to give it up. Queen Victoria and her husband appear to be in the enjoyment of excellent health, and but little oppressed or burdened with the cares of govern- ment. Accompanied by her consort, she has re- cently been ona visit to the Marquis of Exeter, at his splendid seat, called Burghley House---where according to the papers, they were having a glori- ous time. i There have been more severe gales in Liverpool, attended with unusual high tides. Several vessels were driven ashore, and met with other disasters. Incendiary fires.continue to be trequent in differ- ent parts of the country. The packet ships England, Capt. Bartlett, er- rived out on the 9th; the Rochester, Capt. Britton, on the 13th, and the Garrick, Capt. Trask, on the 18th. Stgam Sure Gaeat Brrrain.—It was generally supposed that this veesel would have left Cumber- land basin on the high tides of the early part of the week ending 19:h. She could not, however, be got ready in time, and her departure was post- poned to the corresponding period of next month, when it was confidently expected she would pro- ceed to sea. No doubt was entertained of there being a sufficient rise of water to carry her out with safety. There is again a dearth of foreign or domestic news of interest. All the world, except Spain, pe at peace, and commerce is thriving every- where ‘The Queen and Prince Albert having rested themselves sufficiently after the fatigues and ex- citement of their recent excursions to Scotland and the Isle of Wight, have commenced a round of country visits, which seems likely to rival in splendor those paid by her Majesty to the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland last autumn. The Mar- quis of Exeter has been the first honored this sea- ton. Some ministerial changes are spoken of as being in contemplation, but nothing definite has yet transpired as to the new arrangement. In freland all has remained quiet for some time; the Liberator having been refreshing himself after his ixcarceration, with the mountain breezes ot Derrynane, but he has recently given notice of his intention to visit Conciliation Hall, and resume his active labors for the regeneration of hiscoun- ti ry. i No material change has occurred in the value of Government stocks; the public securities have not varied much. Freights from Liverpool are rather higher, owing to the quantity of goods offering being greater; but the shipping trade, neverthe- Jess, is tar from being brisk. ; The American Minister transacted business on Saturday at the Foreign office. A letter from Franktort states that the mother of the Rothschilds, who is ninety-three years of age, is seriously ill. i '@Niaa Sontag, sister of the Countess Rossi, has just entered a Carmelite convent at Prague. On dit that Mies Burdett Coutts is about to be- stow her hand and her immense wealth on a youth- ful surgeon. k The Anti-Corn law league has, it seems, taken Covent Garden Theatre for the next season, at a rent of £3,000. , An American seaman was fined £5, atthe Liv- erpool Police Court, or be impriaoned two months for an assault on another seafaring man, named MeDowa'l. 2 é Saturcay, the 9th inst. was the birthday of the Prince of Wales, when his royal highness com- pleted his third year. Mr. Hurst, M. P. for Horsham, has suddenly discharged his servants, given up housekeeping, and departed with his family for the continent.— His debts exceed £150,000. fF Enormous Ratway Srecunations.—The follow- jog statement appears in the circular of a share- broker, published a few days back:—‘ Since our Jast monihly circular, there have been put forth 41 new prospectuses of railway schemes, and the shares applied for in each have far exceeded the number to be issued Taking the above Al lines into the account, the following will result: -On the Mth of August upward of 90 new lines, re- quiring more than £60,000,000 of subscribed capi- tal to complete them, were put forward, to which add the above 41, stating a requirement of £35,265,000, tozether upwards of 131, needing an investment of 95,266,000, with the power of bor- rowiug one-third more, devoted to the same object; making a graad total of £127,020,000 !” Ministeniat, Cuanars.—Rumors of ministerial changesare rife. It is very generally believed that three offices, all held at present by peers, namely, the offices of First Lord of the Admiralty, President of the Board of Control, and Postmasier General, wiil be vacated by their present occupants before the mecting of Parlament. The first-named office, it is said, will be filled by Lord Ellenborough, and the second by Lord Stanley ; in which case Mr. Gladstone would have the management of the Co- lonies, and the Board of Trade will fall to Lord Dalhousie. The rumors originate with the Morn- ing Post. Sie Ronert anp Lavy Sate at Winpsor.—Sir Robert and Lady Sale have been paying a visit to Windsor Castle, where they were received with the most marked kindness by the Queen and Prince Albert. The Queen manifested the most intense interest to hear from the lips of La- dy Sale, a narrative of these extraordinary rivations and Ly Hag which her ladyship had | expoved in the east. The Queen listened with the deepest attention, and expressed hereelf in the warmest terms of congratulation at LadySale’s hap- if and providential return to her native land. Sir obert Sale, in addition to being appointed to the command of a regiment, has received the lucra- tive appointment of Quarter-master-General to her Majesty’s forces in india, for which country he will proceed in December. _ r Tt 1a estimated that if the railways now projected in Ireland were in ely of fact undertaken, they would afford employmeut to above 200,000 per- sons. The Journal des Debats states that an electric magnetic telegraph, on Mr. Farady’s plan, has been attached tothe Taunus railroad, which lies between Mentz and Frankfort-on-the-Maine, the exient of which is about 16 French leagues. _ The number of Protestants at present in Bava- ria is 1,226,753. In the last four years there has been an increase ef 25,531; in that period 88056 Protestants emigrated from the kingdom; 281 turned Catholice, and 179 Catholics became Pro- testante, > estal country, which neither ought to be nor can be per- country ; the resolution wos seco! Ashton, and supported by Thomas Cook and Mr. J. A. Turner, NEW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1844. Frieurru, SreampoaT Accipent.—A lamenta- ble accident occurred at Black wall, on the Thames on the evening of Tuesday last, produced by an explosion on board a steamer called the Gipee Queen, a new iron vessel, of 600 tons, and horse power, by which seven persons lost their lives, and five “more were seriously injured.— Amongst the eufferers is Mr. Samuda, one of the partners in the establishment |where the engines were made. The engines differed in some re- spects from the marine engines generally in use, and they were regarded as improvements. _Betore the acetdent, the vessel had made her first trip down the river with the greatest satisfaction, The vessel has been built for the Waterford Navigation Company. Three more of those who were car- tied to the hospital have since died of the injuries they received. Mr. Samuda was the patentee of the Atmospheric | Railway, in carrying out the principles of which he has been engaged for some years past. . Mr. Dan Marble, the American comedian, after delighting the cockneys with his amusing persona. tions of Yankee life, is now in Liverpool, fulfilling an engagement of twelve nights. He isa creat fa- vorite. He appeared last night in the “Vermont Wool Dealer,” and experienced an enthusiastic reception, which he increased by the fun and drollery of his acting. Mr. Marble has two popular writers engaged in the production of a brace of new farces, in which his pecu- liar talents will be shown to the highest advantage These farces will pense arich treat to his country- men on his return home. Revuction or Dock Rates at Liverroo.—A_ sub- Committee of the dock committee, to whom was lately referred the revision of the dock and light duties on ton- nage, and the dock rates on goods, have recommended in a report (which was Gam that the rates to be charged Spon. the seventh class of voyages rt ‘and on lights 14d per ton, \. ‘seventh Class ot voyages” rela! in South America to the southward of Rio the Pacific Ocean, in Africa and Asia tu th the Cape of Good Hope, The present duties tonnage, 2s 3d and for lights 2d. re, for The loss to the estat from the reduction, is caleulated to be only about £1000 perannum.

Pn PoE AS neta As {uutxots Bonps —Court or Cuaxcery.—The Vice Chancellor gave judgment in the case of Huxtable vs. the State of Illinois, on Monday the 1th mst. Before July, 184@, Maria Sarah Lang- stone, who in that month married Anthony Hux- table, clerk, by the advice of Mr. John Wright, of the firm of Wright & Co., her bankers, invested a considerable sum of money (£6544) in bonds issued under the seal of the Governor of Illinois. Messrs. Wright were the agents for the State, to which they were largely indebted when the bank failed. Messts. Magniac, Smith & Co., were then ap- poms agents for the State ; that firm subsequent- ly undergoing divers changes of partnership, and becoming known us Magniac, Jardine & Co. ; while eince april, 1842, Messrs. Baring Brothers Co. have been the agents. In March, 1842, the agents refused to acknowledge Mrs. Huxtable’s bonds, or to pay the dividends upon them, on the plea that the bonds and sixteen others had been irregularly sent into the market by Messrs. Whright & Co., that the coupons had not been severed, and aleo that the agents had not sufficient funds, The plaistitt denied that she was liable for the irregu- arities of the State’s agent; and further alleged, that Mr. Jaudon, as commissioner for the State, had pose a debt against the estate of Messrs. Wright & Co., amounting to £17 920; whichsum included the money that she had invested She therefore filed a bill against the State and various persons, including the partners to the several firms, (we observe among the names those of Authony Huxtable and James Honghton Langstone,) pray: ing that the dividend upon Wright’s estate hight not be paid overto the State until her claim should have been satisfied. The State of Illinois did not appear to the bill; but Messrs. Magniac & Cv., and Messre. Baring Brothers & Co, demurred to it, on score of a general want of equity as regards thet The Vice Chancellor observed, in giving jadgment, it did not follow that if the State of Illinois had re- pudiated the transaction, they repudiated it in the offensive meaning intended to ie iven to that word, or that they had done so without reason ; for if the State placed bonds in the hands of it agents with certain directions how to use them, and they were improperly dealt with by those agents, it would be too much to say that the State acted dishonestly because it refused to sanction what it had not authorised. He thought the trans- action a fair one on the part of the State. The question here was, had the plaintiff by her bill made out a sufficient case against Meesrs. Magniac & Co. as one party, and Messrs Baring Brothers & Co. asanother party? The allegations in the bili were too indistinct asrespected the several parties ; and though there appeared to be the substratum o! a good case, he did not think that it had been suf- ficently made out. The demurrer therefore was allowed.— Willmer §& Smith's Times, Nov. 19. Repeal of the Duty on Raw Cotton, Qn Thursday, the 14th instant, the Manchester Chamber of Commerce heid a special general meeting, for the very important purpose of consi- dering the propriety of memorializing the Lor: of the Treasury for the repeal of the duty upon cotton wool. The meeting was very nu- merously attended, most of the leading mercantile men in the district being present. Amongst others were Messrs. R. Cobden, M. P., John Bright, M P, Leni 4 Ashworth, Robert Gardner, Richard Birley, Thomas Ashtov, J. B. Smith, Thomas Houldsworth. The President of the Chamber, Thomas Bazley, jr., Esq., took the Chair. The Cuarrman, in opening the proceedings, a Gentlemen, in having summoned this epe- cial meeting of the chamber, to promote the repeal of the duty on cotton wool, your direc- tors have, in my opinion, exercised a very sound discretion. Public opinion, condemning this tax on the trade of this important district, is now evincing the determination todemand, in terms not to be resisted, the abolition of it, (Hear, hear.) The occasions are, | hope, becoming more frequent where gentlemen of generally different sentiments can meet together in harmony, to seek by their ef- forts, such objects as shall be beneficial to the com- munity in which they exist; and [ regard with pe- culiar satisfaction the meeting of this morning, a cause I see individuals present who are amongst the most wealthy and most extensive of those engag- ed inthe consumption of raw cotton. They come for the purpose of relieving themselves of vexatious epost such as, J believe, has never been before inflicted upon a great national iaterest, such ag the cotton trade has become; and I believe that their efforts will be continued util that tax shall be an. nihilated. (Hear, hear.) From one individual 1 learned that so oppressive is this tax upon his own industry, that taking the amount of duty and the amount of disadvantages collectively under which he labors, as compared with the United States of America, supposing he could transfer his spinning and weaving concern to the United States, those disadvantages amount to £20,000 per annum.— (Hear, hear.) This is an amount of competition that cannot permanently be maintained by any indi- vidual house. (Hear, hear.) The memorial was then read. It stated that— “Tt will be found that this tax alone now increases to the British cotton spinner the cost of his raw material to the extent of ten per cent; for at the present time the price of middling cotton of the class most largely in consumption is 34d. per pound in New Orleans, 5-16ihs thereon being exactly ten percent; but the American spioner possesses the convenience uf contiguity to the markets of the cotton planters ; and in freight by the difference in distance, in the saving of time, and in other dimi- nished charges, a further advantage is secured to him of not less than 7-16:hs per Ib, thus making the disadvantages of the British spinner, as contrasted with the American, into 24 percent; and which, upon all the American cotton used in Great Britain, will amount, according to last Penge consump:ion, to upwards of a million and a half sterling, clearly blishi advanteges in competition against this ustained.” t GaRDINER moved the first resolu- manently Mr. Ro tion, which declared the repeal ‘of the duty upon raw cotton to be essentially necessary to the main- tenance of the manufacturing promperit of this by Mr. Thos. The second resolution was moved by Mr. Richard led by aap James Atherton, and Birley, and nded supported by Mr. Marsal Mr. Henny Asnwortn said, we did not need to refine upon calculations as to how much per cent. that duty pressed upon individual classes of manu- facturers—we took in round numbers the payment of £743,000 last year as the cotton duty, a duty imposed by the government of this country upon one individual branch of manufacture most unjust. The manofacturer met in distant markets similat manufactures produced fa Gieereat parts of orld, and more especially American manufactures in every market towhich he had ac- cess. The prices of his goods in those distant markets were the market prices of the place, and he could expect to receive no mere than the mar- ket value for what he sent there. There he met his rivals upon equal terms, he having himself paid 5 16ths of a penny per Ib. duty; and 1-16th of a penny duty more vpon the waste in making these goods (hear); and thus we found that the British manufacturer was not only burthened as a manu- facturer, by that constant claim from the guvern- ment ot this country, Which he had to bearin ad- dition to his costs end charges, but that that sam went in the shape of a boanty to his foreign ah He fouad,from a jarliamentary paper,some remarks and observations, collected by Mr. ‘hom, whe said, in soeaking of China; Of the sum put down tor grey long clothe, one-ha'f may be assumed as British, afd the oiter hait American. Domestics are entirely Amerivap, and we fiad it impossible tocompete with tiem in that article,” The Coairman said, that Mr. Wyrm, a gentle man eoguged in the American trade, was present ; and, a8 some specimens of American mapufac- tures were now b fore the chamber, he would, perhaps, offer some observations Mr. A. H. Wyute, of the firm of Gordon, Wylie & Co, London, said he contessed te war only surprized that they had so ong remained in abey- ance. (Wear) They had ailowed this duty to increase in the space of teu years from £370,000 to 43,000, and that was a sum which no govern- ment would be willing to give up. He had in his possession an account-eales of cotton s-ld witha the last two weeks in Liverpool,—ot 63 bales of New Orleans; an actual account sales—the emount of which was £330 7s. 81, and the duty upon which was £83 5s. 1d., or a charge of fully 13. per cent. (Hear, hear) it had a said, that af the duty were taken off, it would 0 give a bonus to the American planter. Now, we all know very well that the Jaws of demand and supyly regulate the supply of cotton; but it was not of this that we complained. Now, the consumption of cotton in the United States in 1812, which was a year there of depressed prices and bad trace, was 267,850 bales. Ia the present year it was 387,000 bales; but this was farfrom being all the cotton consumed tn America. The returns from New York only included whet was consumed in the northern and eustern states, north of the Potomac; the whole southern and western manufac. tures were not included, for this. reason, (and he hoped he should be understood, for this was an important fact,) that the cotton consumed by these manufactureb did not generally enter into the receipts at the ports, as they were taken perhaps trom the internal maikets, without going to the seaboard ; and the consumption there is stated— (and he believed it to be within the fact, from his own personal knowledge)—to be 100,000 bales: which brings up the consumption of America inthe last year to 487,000bales, which, it he mistook not, was more American cotton than was consumed in this country in 1825, and mere than the cotton of all kinds consumed here in 1820; which was bring- ing the progress of American manufactures within the recollection of many present. So much forthe consumption of the United States in 1828, The ex- ports of cotton goods to China from America, in 1841, amounted to 188,000dollars. {nthe first nine months of 1843 the amount was 1,063,000 dollars.— Now, this amount seemed, in comparison with our exporte, to be rather trifling ; but it ceased to be so, when compared with what the American exports were two or three years ago, In only two years fey had leaped from 188,000 10 1,060,000 dollars. If, for the next two or three years they went on at the same rate, they would not only rival us, but al most drive us out of the markets. In one recent price current trom Brazil, he found in 1840 Great Britain exported 28,840 bales of cotton goods to that country, und in 1843 only 14,000, (hear, hear,) while the Americans in 1840 exported to Brazil 6,100 bales, and in 1843, 7,300; and so, in propor- tion as our trade there had been decreasing, theirs had been increasing. If ever a country was form- ed for commercial purposes it was America, and it appeared as it the legislation of thisconatry and eee commercial questions,was as hostile a8 It possibly could be,and consequently aseuicidal. (Hear. ) He contessed he did not think there was any chance of any commercial treaty being entered into with America. The time had been allowed to pass; but there was a struggle going on there tor the election of their President, and the tariff was made the starting point. ff the tariff party succeed, our hopes are at an end. Mr. Gusset said our coarse manufacturers were, gene rally, thriving ond increasing until the Americans became ourrivals. (Hear.) He had himself a very extensive «rade in them, as soon as he had commenced business with America, (hear, hear ) but, afterwards from their be- coming manufacturers, d supplying theirown wants first, they began to interfere wath nis customers in the South American trade. (Hear, hear.) ‘That branch was aow to him entirely extinct. (Hear.) Mr. Jonn Buront, M. P, said there weretwo observa tions that he wished to make; one of which hed arisen (rom observations made by preceding speakers. A good teal had been said with regard to the rivalry of forrign countries,and especially of the increase in the manufactu- ‘ing power of the Americans. Perhops parties at a distance reading the report of the meeting night be tedto suppose that we bad seme hostile feelings towards the manufac- turers of America, or other coun ries; but, admitted their rivalry, and deemed it a mi portance to us, ond thut it might, in certain branches of trade, become injurious to certain menufacturers here,yet he believed there wasno intelligent manufacturer in tha: coom, or in this district, who feit anything like @ hostile (eoling that would induce him to wish for anything that could be done to crush the rising manufacturers and the rising prosperity of any country. (fear, hear.) All they wishe1 ‘or was amply that government—that government which ought to be paternal—that ought, in the true sense of the word, be a protective governmtent—that it should not be one that wonld jay burdens upon one branch ef in- dustry, and subject it to a pre:sure which made it unable to bear that competition, and to run in that race from which there was no escape for us. (Hear) This cotton tex ha he to him, therefore, a tariff exactly of this de- scription, made upon us by our own government. (Hear, hear,) for it had precisely the same effect upon our trade as if'a tariff of an cqual per centage were levied by all foreign nations to which we export. (Hear, hear.) Afier afew words from other gentlemen. the resolutions were passed unanimonsly, and the meeting separated. — Wilmer § Swith’s Times, Nov. 19. Theatricals, d&.

Mr. Ray read the following letter from the Li- berator, which evoked loud and enthusiastic plau- dits :— TO T. M. RAY, EfQ., SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL Na- TIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. ‘Still shalt thou be my waking theme, Thy glories still my midnight dream, And every thought and wish of mine, Unconqtered Erin, shall be thine.” Daraynane Arnry, Nov. 8, 1844. My Daan Rav.—Under the present circum- stances of the great Repeal canse, and espe- cially after the sagacious pause that has been made in direct agitation, I hops it will not be deemed presumptuous in me to give a direct intimation to the association, of my intention to attend their meeting on Monday, the 25th inatant—that is, the day fortnight alter this letter is read iprende at the election on the 25th as Alder- man of my ward, but as there isto be'no contest in the ward, the election will be over long before the hour at which the association sits, and I will thus be enabled to attend the meeting of the men to whom Ireland is chiefly indebted for the past progress of the great cause, and to whom history Wilfatribute the principal means of the restora- tion of the [rish parliament. ‘ My inten'ion of attending the meeting of the 25th would not be sufficient to justify the parade of this announcement, but that ifs real object is to niform the members of the association of my de- sign on that day to bring forward two topics of great and vital importance. The firet involves the subject of an application to parliament for animpeachment of the persons prin- cipally concerned in the Jate monster persecution; and in particular to consider deliberately the pro- priety of addreesing the people of Great Britain, in order to procure their aid in enforcing on parlin- ment the necessity of such an impeachment. If such an address shall be agreed upon, it will re- mainto be determined, whether it shall take place by personal attendance in bs of a delegation ot the association, or through the medium of the press. " The second great object for the consideration of the association on the 25th is one which has en- grossed much of my thoughts, and from which my mind is full of the anticipations of great utility if it canbe Irgally arranged—I mean the eppoint- meat of « Preservative Soviety of three huadred It is quite trfle that the legal difficulties are very great; the Irish people are oppressed by the ty ran- nous weight of the convention act—an enactment from the infliction of which the people Englund are pivectiy free. It may be worth while, by of parenthesiz, to remark, that the present connection with England is call- ed a Union, though the foe England are free f:om the burden which thus most cruelly embar- rasses the people of Ireland in their political exer- tions A Union, forsooth T shall not dietate either of these measures to the Repeal AssociatYn ; it is as lite within my power as itis within my inclination to do so; they are subjects deserving the most grave consideration, aad upon which the most honest of mankind may reasonably and fairly differ. é j I invite the most earnest attention of the mem- bers of the Repeal Association to these topics; that which presses most is the impeachment, be- cause if that be adopted, our arrangements must be complete before the sitting of parliament, which will most} probably take place in the first week of Febrnary next. Every fact connected with the management of the Jury list must be investigated and ascertained, and ! will, in particular, the attention of the association to the conduct of the Recorder. At first I thought that he was not to blame, but farther reflection upon his mest unne- Cessary journey to England at a most critical period, convinced me that the public are entitled to astrict and critical inquiry into his conduct upon that oc- casion. The mode of his deportment in parliament on the subject dissatisfies my mind very consider- ably; he cannot be allowed, as I think, to cover himeelf by his judicial situation; he was ministerial as well as judicial, and in both capacities responsi- ble to parliamen: i P A full investigati6n is required, because if hehad taken proper care that the jury ligt was duly made out, the jury trial upon that list would never be de- nounced by the highest legal tribunal in the land asa delusion, a snare, and a mockery.’ y He ay be able to vindicate his conduct, but in- quiry is absolutely necessary to satisly the public mind; and it is strongly my purpose, if approved of by the association, to have the entire case, inclu- ding the Recorder’s conduct, brought distinctly be- fore Parliament. : There has been a longer pause in the Repeal agi- tation than I had anticipated, but I donot by any means regret it; there was in that pause a defer- ence to the opinions of those Irishmen who from us, which was calculated, 1 think, to con- vince them how respectfnily their opinions have been treated, and will be treated, whenever they join the ranks of the Repeal Association. It was an experiment we made, ad 1 clajm the merit of being one of the principal promoters of that expe- riment. If it had been immediately successful its importance is alu.ost incalculable; it would have produced two things, first, the enunciation of a spe- cific plan which Protestant gentlemen of fortune, rank, talent, and patriotism, deemed most useful to remedy the admitted grievances, the poverty and destitution of Ireland, and to give to her the power of domestic legislation in all affairs relating to her own concemns. It would, secondly, have given the opportunity to ue,thorough and out-and-out Repeal- ers, to show courtesy and concitiation where we differ with the Federalists, and also our readiness to concede everything for that conciliation con- sistent with our great and immutable principle of {rish nationality. This experiment has not been as yet successful, the federalists have not come forward with any specific plan ; they have made no public movement; they have effected no organization among them- selves i our notions as to their plans are purely con- jectural. Jt would, under snch circumstances, perhaps have heen better if a perfect silence had been adopted those who formed particular ideas of what federal ism meant, and thus opposed the creature of their own imaginarion. 3 But I am far from thinking that those who adopt- ed the course different from that which I should have advised, were therefore in the wrong. This much, however, is certain, that the discussion, if it were prematurely entered into, was at all events conducted with good temper and civility ; po im- proper motives were imputed by the dissentient re- pealers to the federalists. The Pe once it istrue, has not as yet been successful, yet I think it hes afforded grounds of confident hope, and pleasing anucipation of future and complete snecess. e These things have been ascertained—First—that there are a number of protestants of various classes, but in particular of rank and station, who are as dissatisfied with the working of the Union statute xs I am, and who are as convinced as I am of the iniquitous means by which the Union was efiected —who algo are us thoroughly persuaded as I am, that the misery and destitution of the Irish people must continue and augmeut yearly, unless the pre- sent political connection between Great Britain and Treland is essenially altered. 4 It is well to know this fact—the declaration of Mr. Grey Porteris decisive upon it, and lam bound to say that] have abundant reasons to be convinced that the abhorrence cf the present Union is more extensive among the wealthier classes of Ireland, especially the landed proprietors, than Mr. Grey Porter was aware of. 4" ‘ The secoad important fact ascertained is, that if, or whenever the Federalists shall announce their plan, it will be received with deference and reepect —it will be discussed with coolness and temper, and if we ere compelled by our great principle o' nationality to reject it m part, or in the entire, it will be rejected in « manner of the most concilia- ting courtes} , ie Thirdly. is also ngcertained that if the Repeal- ers should find the plan of Federalism is one by which Ireland could get ali thatsimple Repeal could and something more—that in such case ‘alists will be permitted, and even solicited, to take their natural station aceordixg to their ta- jent, wealth, and rank, at the head of the move- ment. n Letme then tell my fellow-coustrymen that our experiment has not totally failed; it must necessari- ly lenve behind it an impression of the entire ab- sence of any angry, irritating, or vexatious spirit among the Repealers—yes, and an impression indelible, of our anxiety for conciliation and har- mony amongst Irishmen of every class, creed, per- suasion and political principle. Hi I think it mane to express my very strong opinion that we should have had a very powerful Federal demonstration, it the English Whig party had not succeeded in stifling it for the present. There is somethi g exceedingly ludicrous in the fact, that whilst the English Tory prees were abusing the Whigs. and abusing me for having, as they untrul; alleged, entered intoa compact to substitute Fed- eralism for Repeal, and thus to assist in bringing the Whigs again into office, the Whigs were at that very time counteracting every effort of mine to procure a declaration from the Federalists; and they actually succeeded in preventing a Federal declaration, which I believe would have long since appeared but for their antagonist exertions. There is another thing certain, that whether or not we shall have any other Federalist make an appeal to the Irish public, Mr. Grey Porter has in hig pamphlet pledged himself to produce his plan of Federalism before the end of the present year, and judging from his character it is to the last de- gree probable that he will redeem that pledge ; let us, however, ia the meartime exert all our ener- gies to forward the Repeal cause, an if this inter- Inde had not occurred. {t is quite trne thet according to the constitution of the Repeal Association, Federalism is an open question, and we bave admitted, as avowed Fede- ralists many individuals cf the first respectability, for one instance, the Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy, the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe; yet 1 am very deci- dedly of opinion, and reepectfully submit that opi- nion to the association, that it is much betier to li- mit our exertions to simple Repeal, aud confine our efforts to the restoration of the irish parliament, without seeking anything farther, marking how- ever distinctly, the limit between simple Repeal and Federalism. " Ba Simple Repeal, 1 take it, consists in this—Firsty on the preservation of the connection between Great Britain and Ireland, through the means of a sole executive and the golden link of the crown. Secondly—In the Repeal of the Union statute 50ih Geo. ILL., chap. 47. _ - ‘Thirdly—tn the restoration of the Irish House of Lords in all its integrity. A Fourthly—In the reeonstruction (upon reform principles) of the Irish House of Commons, con- sisting of 300 members distributed upon the basis of population, tha: being the basis adopted in the Engl'sh reform bill. A ‘ Fifthty—That the restored. Irish parliament should have all the powers which ‘were vested in the Irish parliament before the that is to ay, counnene legislative and judicial authority in Ireland. ne * I think it right to state my thorough conviction, as well as my perfect determination, that we snould never consent to receive jess for Ireland than what is contained in these five propositions ; this would be giving Ireland to the Irish, but it would give them no further share in the advantages of British connexion. It will, however, amply peat feb yet oncoed the ong ite hn pave in itself inherent means of opposing by Great Britainof the powers which are vested ip
