ciini) No. XXXIII. NEWRY. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1830. [ PRICE SIX- PENCE.] VOL. I. THE POLITICAL EXAMINER. REPEAL OF THE UNION. MR. O'CONNELL AND MR. CONWAY. CHESTERFIELD says that a man should neither speak of himself, for himself, nor against himself. This rule, if it were ever practical, has now become obsolete ; and the dangerous theme of self is by far the most frequent one in use. Of all the egotists in these egotistical times, the most egregious are " we of the Press." This is easily accounted for by thepecu- liar circumstances attendant on a situation which gives a man the absolute control of one of the most pow- erful engines that operate on public sentiment; and it need not be wondered at, that Newspaper Editors are, as a species, the most superficial, and, at the same time, the most pert, priggish, consequential, self- important, and self- opinionated tribe of animals in existence. Aware of the general opinion in this res- pect, the writer of this article would not notice the extravagant compliment which Mr. O'Connell has been pleased to pay him, did he not fear that some, who are imperfectly acquainted with him, should imagine that his appetite for encomium is sufficient to make him swallow such a draught. A few years ago, when he made his first political essay, he would have endeavoured to look modest at such a eulogy being offered, while, with all the " pride that apes hu- mility," he would have received it as deserved. But he has rode his political hobby long enough to have acquired some experience in the world and knowledge of himself. Like Wordsworth's " Idiot Boy," when returned from his adventurous ride on the donkey, he is now " a sadder and a wiser man." The notice which Mr. O'Connell has taken of the Newry Examiner, is, however, calculated to serve a journal which is little more than struggling into ex istence. We shall evince our gratitude in our own way, and give Mr. O'Connell an advice: we shall address him in the honest language of truth, to which, amidst the adulation offriendsand the invective of enemies, he is too little accustomed. His per- sonal attack on Mr. Conway was extremely injudi- cious. It has aroused against his favourite project an opposition much fiercer and more effectual than otherwise would have proceeded from the same quarter; for any one who has ever engaged in con- troversy, must be aware, that a man never writes so forcibly, or so well, as when his personal feelings have been lashed into irritation. It was wrong, also, for Mr. O'Connell to make assertions, which, how- ever demonstrative to himself was the evidence of their truth, he could not, from peculiar circumstances, substantiate, when called on, by laying that evidence before the public. Moreover, the direct charge against Mr. Conway, of receiving, or having received, a pension from the Irish Government, was not at all necessary to effect the object which Mr. O'Connell had in view— to weaken the confidence which the public in general, and the readers of the Evening Post in particular, were wont to place in the integri- ty of that journal. In fact, this was a complete work of supererogation; and we call upon our me- tropolitan contemporary to " mark, learn, and in- wardly digest," while we state what is the opinion of the friends and supporters of the Evening Post in this part of the North, concerning the course it has for some time pursued. Since the passing - of the Relief Bill, the EVENING POST has not done its duty by the people, and has, consequently, lost their confi- dence. It has been playing a vacillating and double part. It joined in the outcry of the Catholics against the conduct of the Fermanagh Orangemen; but it de- fended the Irish Government, when that Government indirectly sanctioned this conduct in the course it adopted with regard to the manifesto of Lord Ennis- killen and the Fermanagh Magistrates. The Even- ing Post is sometimes furious enough in its denun- ciations against the Orangemen of the North ; but it forgets to reprobate the duplicity or imbecility of the Irish Government in sending down proclamations against party processions on the 12th of July, ten days after the l" 2th of July was gone, and when all the mischief had been effected. The Evening Post chuckles mightily at the dismissal of Lord O'Neill; but it does not, with energy, call upon the Govern- ment to dismiss Lord Ross, who is still more ineffi- cient than Lord O'Neill, and possessed of thirtv times his patronage; and it has not used the infor- mation of which it must be in possession, nor the ability it has always at command, in exposing the flagrant abuses of the Post- office establishment. The Evening Post sometimes blows up the Corporation, and plays the devil among Davy M'Cleary and the rest of the Orange tailors; but it will never be caught, like a political Guy Fawkes, holding the torch of investigation in the lower regions of the Castle. The Evening Post indulges itself in a fling at the Beresford's of Derry, and threatens them with the loss of their sinecures for raising a factious opposition against Mr. Dawson; but it would turn out of its way rather than tread on the little toe of any of the official vermin that still « infest the Castle— who thwart every measure which the Minister or the Legislature propose for the good of the country, while they work with mischievous energy to carry every bad law, or injurious project, into effect; and, under the guise of conciliation, are still busied in stirring up the embers of social discord, in order to perpetuate those divisions which have so long ena- bled them to fatten on the miseries of the country. The Evening Post sometimes advocates a revision of the Grand Jury system ; but never since the passing of the Relief Bill has it supported the great cause of Parliamentary Reform, or, if it do allude to the sub- ject, it is to " damn with faint praise" the moderate. Reformers, sneer at the Radicals as wrong- headed impracticable politicians, and injure the whole cause by hollow, hesitating, and disheartening approval. The Evening Post exposed the impolicy and injijp- tice of the alteration in the Stamp and Spirit Duties, but without insinuating that the distillers had to open their purses pretty widely for the excellent ar- ticles connected with their affairs— the people of Ireland cannot forget that the Evening Post, either by accident or design, gave the country wrong in- formation— cried out " peace, when there was no peace"— and, by announcing the abandonment of the odious taxes, when Ministers had no such intention, almost prevented Ireland from exhibiting that front of defiance, without which these taxes would have been forced upon her, and without which they wii yet be inevitably imposed. The Evening Post de- claims against Continental tyranny; but has it de- nounced, as an honest journal would do, that infa- mous and unconstitutional enactment which arms an English Viceroy with a despotic power over the rights and liberties— nay, over the very lives of the Irish people ? No: on the contrary, it has adopted a course, in this respect, for which those who most sus- pected its honesty were not prepared. Taking advan- tage of the irritation which the supporters of Mr. O'Council's project in Dublin must feel at the latePro- clamation of the Lord Lieutenant's Secretary, the Evening Post taunts Mr. O'Connell and his associates • with acting " scurvily," in not offering " a constitu- tional resistance, with a view of bringing the question to a legal issue." This was the mad proposal made after dinner by Mr. Lawless, and, at such a time, it might be excused; but the writer who, coolly in his closet, penned the paragraph to which we allude, and who published it with a view to stimulate the Anti- unionists to form the Society in the teeth of the Proclamation, must have been aware that had thev attempted to do so they would have been dispersed by military force— and that in the present temper of the Irish Government— with guards trebled, amuni- tion distributed, and cannon double- shotted— and in the present excitement and irritation of the Dublin populace, scenes as dreadful as those which happened in Palis, during the first Revolution, would be the inevitable consequence of any commotion. Awav, then, with this silly controversy respecting Mr. Con- way's private arrangements. What care the Irish people whether he is pensioned or not ? Enough that the Evening Post has shown itself unworthy of their confidence. No matter what its past services may have been, and that they were great, it would be baseness to deny— no matter what may be the ability and talent it displays, and that they are of the first order, the man would be laughed at as a fool, in Ireland, who would hesitate to acknowledge— no matter what diversity of opinion may exist res pecting the Repeal of the Union, and that there is much, it would be an insult to the public not to ad- mit— the Evening Post is fully and fairly convicted of a dereliction of public duty; and there is no neces- sity to drag forward the private concerns of any in- dividual connected with it : it has lost the confi- dence of the country; and it is not fitted to give an honest opinion upon any question in which the inte- rests of Ireland are vitally concerned, when the Bri- tish Government and the Irish People are at issue on the subject. As for the question of the Repeal of the Union, we shall not enter upon it to- day. Mr. 0' Comielv is reported to have said that we have already writ- ten ably in its favour. We may have done so ; but when or where, we cannot for the soul of us recol- lect. The " Arch Agitator" may, however, be gift- ed with the second- sight, and " Coming events cast their shadows betore." PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL. Friday evening last, Mr. O'Connell was entertained at a public dinner, in the temporary Theatre, Abbey- street; the building was crowded. MARCOS COSTELLO, Esq. Barrister, presided on the occasion. The cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, that placed as he was by their kindness in a situation at once novel, honoura- ble, and gratifying, he would be necessarily obliged to draw largely on their kind indulgence. lie knew, how- ever, that he would not draw ill vain, and that his bill would not be dishonoured, even though it were to a large amount. ( Cheers.) They had all heard of chartered toasts— particular corporations had chartered toasts, upon which they piqued themselves— but Ireland had now a chartered toast, which had been rendered immortal by their distinguished guest— he meant a Repeal cf the Union. The cheering, huzzaing, and waving of handkerchiefs, that followed this announcement, lasted for nearly fif- teen minutes, when the company drank " The Repeal of the Union." The CHAIRMAN— I ain now about to give the second toast, which inay be considered the great basis of* this de- monstration of our respect and esteem for Mr. O'Con- nell- " The People— the genuine source of ligitimate pow- er." The CHAIRMAN— King William has been longan ob- noxious toast in Ireland— thank God it is 110 longer so. We are told that his Majesty has it in contemplation to visit our beautiful and lovely isle. His Majesty is too just, too wise, and too patriotic, to have us at his coming, a discontented People. " The King"— four times four. The CHAIRMAN again rose, and aftera complimentary speech proposed the health of " Daniel O'Connell."—( Immense cheering.) Mr. O'CONNELI, rose— When silence was obtained, he said— Instead of speaking what is called a speech, I only rise to ask a question— Is there any man so absurd as to think that things can go on as they are in Ireland ? ( Hear.) When I look around this vast edifice, and see so much of the nerve, and bone, and sine w, and mar- row of my country— so many worthy and generous men, whom the wealth of nations could not purchase, but v. h Sue kindness and whose love for the land bring tliem here this night— when I behold the Protestant and the Catholic, and the Dissenters of different creeds, I again ask can things remain as they are in Ireland ? ( Hear.) Who will dare tell me that Ireland will continue a pal- try, pitiful province V Who will venture to say that the Government of Ireland, from the Lord Chancellor down to the lowest tax- collector, is to be composed of Englishmen ? Will any man tell me that Ireland is to be kept in. bondage— that she is to be degraded by base laws, and by the passing over of her sons, instead of be- ing governed by natives, as for instance the People of France ? Whilst struggling for religious equality— for emancipation, I felt my mind cramped— I felt a stingi- ness of purpose about me— though I looked for it on the ground that conscience should be free— upon the broad immutable principle that man had no right to in- terfere with the inherent privileges of man— freedom of conscience— a privilege granted by the Creator to the creature. During that long and dreary struggle I felt a narrowness of purpose encumbring my exertions which often gave me pain. I felt that instead of was; ing our time and energies in striving to recover our inherent rights as men, we should have been labouring to rege- nerate our country. But, now that I no longer look for a benefit that is to advantage a sect— now that it is universal Irelend that we have in view— now, that we are no longcrasking Protestants to give to Catholics what they demand, and the others had to concede— now, that the object is to improve all Ireland— now, that the pur- pose is to give back a People to their Country, and their Country to a People, who have deserved it by every moral virtue; now, in fine, that the projectis— the restoration of our local legislature— the Repeal of theUnion— I feel my mind expand, and my soul enlarges within me, and I exult and glory when I know thatUniversal Liberty is the wave that is to float the bark of future liberty to my country. The Union has now lasted for thirty years. Two even- ing papers, one published last night, and the other this night, assail the advocates of repeal, as idle, mischievous agitators. Well, will they, or either of them— and I'll give up the question, if they do— tell me what good the Union did for Ireland ?— what single advantage has fol- lowed to Ireland from it—( hear)— and if no good has flowed to this country from that measure, can any Irish- man support it. unless he be a miscreant, that wishes to perpetuate the thraldom and misery of his country, that he may gain spoil and plunder by his recreancy ? 1 des- pise such a renegade. Their number is, thank GOD, small ; and their opposition will soon be drowned in the shout that will be raised from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, and from Connemara to Ilowth, in favour of the liberty of Ireland, and a Repeal of the Union— The Hon. Member then adverted to the necessity of self- legislation, and to the means by which such a bles- sing was to be obtained for Ireland—- namely, by harmo- ny, peace, good will, unanimity, peaceable, constitu- tional exertion, and abstinence from illegal societies, se- cret oaths and a display of physical force ; and then con- tinued—" The Union has worked badly for Ireland— It has plunged the country into misery— it has injured every class and grade of society here. It has taken aw ay our nobility, our gentry, our capital, our commerce, our trade, our manufactures, our wealth. And what have we received in return ? Why, English soldier scribes, illegal proclamations, and tall, raw- boned, high- check- ed Scotchmen. But the system is rapidly running to its close. We see the people. of all creeds uniting every hour in the cry for repeal. See how 1 am bounded this night. O11 my left is my learned and respected friend— the Chair- man— an honest, sincere Protestant. He has ranged himself along with the People— he has flung off patro- nage— he has thiowrn himself with a manly spirit among the People, prepared to fight their battle, and to join in their triumph ; and he has now consented to give up his term and to go to the North, for the purpose of procuring petitoins for a repeal of the Union. On the right I have the letter of my esteemed and Rev. Friend, Mr. Doyle, P. P. of Naas, inclosing his subscription to the Society of Irish Volunteers. (. Great cheering.) This shows the feeling that is abroad upon this mighty national question. Munster is with us— Connaught is'with us— Leinster, I may say, is with lis— and Ulster is all we want. Even that province we will soon have with us in the work of Repeal. ( Cheers.) The Press of that province is coming round. The Newry Examiner, a journal conducted by one of the ablest men that ever was placed at the head of the Press— has written admirably in favour of the national cause. ( Cheers.) 1 know Mr. Mor- gan well— an able, honest man; he for a time ques- tioned the feasibility and utility of bringing back our Parliament: but having at length examined the ques- tion thoroughly, he saw his error and nobly confessed it. Such a journalist is a great auxiliary to the People,— ( Hear.) The Northern Whig, too, seems to have some mis- giving as to the propriety of the course it at first adopted. The conductor of that excellent paper is a talented, able man, of high Presbyjerian feeling. In the beginning, Mr. Finlay threw cold water upon my exertions, by some paragraphs against a repeal of the Union ; but for the last tew posts he is silent, and has had the honesty and the candour to copy paragraphs in favour of tiie ques- tion from other newspapers. If I know Mr. Finlay, I vouch for it, the moment he perceives his error— the mo- ment he thoroughly sees the necessity of repealing the Union, The Northern. Whit) will manfully recant, and make amends for the delay, by ten- fold exertion in its favour." ( Loud and continued cheering.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman next alluded to the decay of despotism in Europe, and adverting to the late abomina- ble proclamation, spoke as follows:—" In the beginning of this week, you saw an English soldier, a hireling scribe at the Castle, writing down the freedom of our country. I had not before given my opinion upon that infamous act— I remained silent, until I had counselled the People and obtain their pledge to obey the law— to keep the peace. Having succeeded in obtaining that pro- mise, I knew the ^ people would rather die than violate it. shall now, then speak my mind upon the act of tins English soldier. ( Hear.) I arraign that paltry, con- temptible, little English soldier, that had the audacity to put his pitiful, and contemptible name to an atrocious Polignac proclamation—( loud cheers)— and that too in Ireland, in my country— in this green land— the land of Browniow— the country of Grattan— now in his grave— ( hear)— the land of Charlemont and of the 70,000 vo- lunteers— the heroes of the immortal period of eighty- two. ( Cheers.) I11 that country it is that a wretched English scribe— a chance- child of fortune and of war, urged 011 by his paltry, pitiful lawyerlings— put his vile name to his paltry proclamation putting down fr.- emen. ( Cheers.) I would rather be a dog and bay the 1110011, than the Irishman who would tamely submit to so infa- mous a proclamation. I have not opposed it hitherto, because that would implicate the people and give our enemies— the English Major- General and his lawyer- ling staff— a triumph. ( Hear, hear, hear.) But I will oppose it; and that, too, not m the way that the paltry Castle scribe would wish— by force. No ; Ireland is not in a state for repelling force by force. Too short a period has elapsed since the cause of contention between Protestants and Catholics was removed— too little time has been given for healing the wounds of factious con- tention, to allow Ireland to use physical force in the at- tainment of her rights or the punishment of wrong. Catholics and Protestants are not, as yet, sufficiently re- conciled to each other. And I know not why. Where' is the Catholic that has kept alive the spirit of discord ? Show me the Catholic who would refuse to shake his fellow- Protestant by the hand of reconciliation, and I'll take him forth and put a mark upon him. ( Hear.) Why should not the Protestants of Ireland be actuated by similar motives? I am sure they are. it is a ca- lumny upon the Protestant mind and creed, to say that they are opposed to reconciliation and national pros- perity. ( Hear, and cheers.) But as yet the progress of reconciliation is not completed, and until it is,' Ire- land being divided, would be too weak for the physical force of her enemies. I do not advocate the display of physical force at any time. God forbid that such a de- sire should influence my conduct. I only allude to the circumstance to show that even were physical force jus- tifiable, Ireland is not now in a condition to warrant its display. Well, I obeyed— the people obeyed the pro- clamation— they did not submit to the base mandate of a paltry Englishman. No; I never will submit to such audacity ; and I here promise that I will richer cease to pursue the— miscreants shall I call them?— no, that would be too hard a phrase ;— but I will call them the despicable, base, miserable, paltry creatures, with bad heads and worse hearts, who issued that nefarious pro- clamation—( cheers)— in that place, where, and at that period when, reason shall be listened to. I do not mean to say that I shall be attended to, in the rotten, borough mongering Parliament. But I trust the day is not far distant when reason shall be heard, and when fine and imprisonment shall mark the foul conduct of Secretary Major- General Sir Henry Hardinge. He usurped the prerogative of the Lord Lieutenant alone, greater, I admit, than any that the King is invested with, and I have no hesitation in stating that for this he is indictable in law. Is there an Irishman that does not feel his blood rush back to $ he heart? Is there an Irishman whose veins do not throb with indignation, when he recollects that there exists in his country a law the most infamous and unconstitutional that ever yet was enact- ed, and under which a wretched Castle soldier scribe, had the audacity to fulminate his nefarious proclama- tion against the rights and liberties of Ireland. ( Cheers.) Sir, it would be a monstrous libel upon any Irishman to say that he does not feel deeply indignant at this au- dacious enactment. ( Hear.) It makes the will of one- man the law. Now, simple despotism is precisely the same ; so that we have in Ireland, in the person of an English lord, a despot the most complete in Europe. The law which constitutes this despot is a barbarous act of military despotism— an outrageous exhibition of martial tyranny— the force of the cannon, and the bayo- net, and the sabre— dragoons and military— horse, foot, and all, against reason, right, and justice. It is tyranny in its blackest, foulest shape. The insolent English- man who used it,, and in its use infringed the law, may talk of his prowess, may boast of his dueling propensi- ties. Oh ! would to God the sacred cause of freedom were between us— in some as sacred conflict, where the lover of his country and of Christian charity and peace might appear with honour ! ( Cheers.) My blood boils when I see a wretched English scribe, dare, in the face' of heaven, to trample down the people of Ireland with his iron heel. And is this to continue ? If I live it cannot be— it cannot be. ( Cheers.) It is ail audaci- ous insult to this country to have framed such an Act cf Parliament. That insult is increased by their sending over here an ignorant, insolent, haughty'military scribe to carry it into execution. ( Hear.) We must have bur King, our own Parliament— our Lords and Commons. A better King we could not have than William the 258 THE NEWRY EXAMINER. Fourth— may God bless him. ( Loud cheers.) The heroes of eighty- two decided, when they restored to Ireland her independence, that this country could' be bound only by laws made by her own Kinjj, her own Lords, and her own House of Commons. That periM shall return— Ireland shall again he free— the Union shall be repealed. Every corporation in Ireland is doubly bound and sworn to the question. I have a bundle, some feet high, of petitions and resolutions and pledges, adopted by the Corporation of Dublin against the fell measure of the Union. The whole island is thrice sworn to repeal that iniquitous measure. And are we the sons of perjurors— of profligate beliars of sacred honour? Oh, no ; Grattan said, he rocked the cradle of Irish liberty, and followed her hearse to the grave. I have stood by that grave, and I have lived to blow the blast for her resurrection. ( Cheers.) I have spoken thus tediously, but I have done so, because this is the last time I shall have an opportunity of address- ing an Irish auditory for some months. On Sunday, after mass, I leave my beloved Ireland for another land— where I shall endeavour to benefit my country to the best of my ability and with renewed zeal; but with what success in an English Parliament a little time will show. At all events, we must persevere in our consti- tutional exertions to restore Ireland to her people, and her people to Ireland— keeping the peace, violating no law, doing injury to no man, forgetting feuds, forgiving former enemies, proffering the hand of friendship to every good Irishman, and labouring in a splendid, glorious rival- ry with one another, to render old Ireland what she ought to be— and what nature and nature's God intended she should be. The hon. member resumed his seat amid loud and long continued cheering. Several other Gentlemen spoke before the Meeting separated. ASSOCIATION OF IRISH VOLUNTEERS FOR THE REPEAL OF THE UNION. On Saturday a meeting was held at the Parlia- mentary Intelligence Office, Stephen's- street, for the purpose of forming an " Association of Irish Volun- teers for the Repeal of the Union." The room, at the hour ( half past two) for which the meeting was convened, was crowded by most respectable gentle- men. Mr. O'Connell arrived shortly before three, when THOMAS STEELE, Esq. was called to the Chair. Mr. O'CONNELL suggested that as they were about to form a society, all those who did not intend to become members of it should leave the room ; and then moved that it be called an " Association of Irish Volunteers for the Repeal of the Union," and that the subscription for members be one pound each. Mr. A. ENNIS seconded the motion. Books being opened for the purpose, several gentle- men gave their names and paid their subscriptions. The members admitted during the day amounted altogether to about one hundred. Mr. O'CONNELL next moved. " that the object of this association be for the purpose of obtaining the Repeal of the Union, by legal, constitutional and peaceable means." This motion being seconded by Mr. J. L. MUHPHY, Mr. O'CONNELL, 51. P. then addressed the meeting at " reat length, stated the object of the Association, and announced the intention of his excellent and learned friend, Mr. Costello, to go to the North for the purpose of arousing the popular feeling against the Union, and procuring petitions for its repeal. Mr. COSTELLO ( Barrister) then rose and said— Mr. Chairman, with your permission, I shall take leave to address a few observations to this meeting, As my hon- ourable and learned friend has put forward his intention of sending me on a mission to the North of Ireland, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of public feeling in that quarter, regarding the great question which it is the object of this society to promote— a mission which with pride and pleasure I undertake, and the duties of whicii I shall discharge with all the zeal and ability my humble talents will enable me to exert— I think it necessary, lest my views, objects, intentions or anticipations should be misunderstood, or, what is worse, misrepresented, to ex- plain them on accepting of the high trust you are about to confide to my hands'. Yes, gentlemen, 1 think it right to myself and to the sacred cause in which we are en- gaged, before undertaking that important mission, to state plainly before the public— particularly that portion of it amongst whom I am about to go— the manner, the mode" the purpose of my mission to the North of Ire- land, lest any man in that high- minded, intellectual, 1 in- dependent province should mistake my motives, or ima- gine that I undertake it owing to any personal influence „ r connexion of my own— though it is, I am aware, at- tributable to the circumstance of my being born there, that I am selected for the occasion ; that I go there not to dictate, not to direct, not to originate any proceedings for that object, however indispensable I may deem it to the happiness and prosperity of the farmer, the weaver, , he artizan— and necessary to the well- being and comfort f the Irish people ; it is not my expectation, I am not ° o arrogant, so presumptuous, as to suppose that I could Snf! uence the inhabitants of that country, where there is h spirit of independence that would spurn dictation : no, my hopes and intentions are of another character: I go to'the North of Ireland to consult and confer with the people ; to ask the weaver what his earnings now are ; to ascertain— if his present condition be unpromising— whether he has a chance of improving it. 1 can almost anticipate his melancholy tale: I know I shall be told, with a faltering tongue, a countenance pale with want, and expressive of the relinquishment of hope, that his weekly earnings, upon which himself and a large family are constrained to wither out a miserable existence, are now with all the assiduity that necessity constantly creates, not more than from four to five shillings per week; and I shall be told by the same individual, while his eye is glistening with a tear of regret, that for the same labour he would have received thirty or forty shillings in the days of his boyhood ( great applause). If he should not be'already aware of it, I shall tell him— and tell him truly— that the cause of this terrible, this degrading tran- sition, is the act of Union— and that so long as that cause exists, so long will his misery increase; till at length, be- coming insupportable, he will be forced to fiy from the dear loved land of his fathers, like many of our hardy, brave and generous countrymen, and seek a home amidst strangers in a foreign clime ( cheers). Making that fact manifest to him, I shall suggest— and merely suggest— that he should assist in getting up requisitions, and sign a petition to the next Parliament— even indifferent as it may be— praying for a repeal of that odious measure which has produced such accumulated degradation, wretchedness" and desolation. If the people of the North think that my assistance can avail them, and that I can answer the objections, the cavilings of the selfish oppo- nents of the measure— for no one who has not a selfish object in view, can have an objection to the repeal of the Unioft— that assistance they shall have cheerfully and without reluctance ( cheers). I shall say to them— If vou think that my services can assist you, I shall be with you ; but if, considering me a stranger, you think I should not take a leading part in your proceedings, then I shall not appear at your meetings, nor urge myself up- j; n you. These are my intentions ; and I wish it to go sbrotd, that my purpose may not be misconceived or ex- posed to misrepresentation— for I know the spirit oi Presbyterian infcpieTtileiiceby wl\ ich I should be resisted if I went in any other capacity.' I shall not allude to another mission, which proved'unsuccessful— mine shall' be One- of a widely different cHraracter ( cheers.) if I should be so unfortunate as to cause one pang, one moment's uneasiness, to any individual, in the course of my proceedings, I shall regret that I ever undertook such a mission at all ( hear). I shall ask the weaver, are you up earlier now ?— d. d you consume as many candles at your nightly toil ?— are you clothed in habiliments of so good a texture as formerly ?— and I shall be answered in the affirmative; but when I ask, do you eat as much bread, bacon, butter, and pork, I need not anticipate the reply. When I ask the question— with all your in- creased industry, application, and skill, are your profits asj large as they were before the Union, or can your wives and daughters earn as much by spinning at the wheel?— a look of gaunt and squalid misery will furnish the ans- wer ( great cheering). The industrious weavers of the North will tell me that all is gone to England— that the capital of the country is gone there— and with it the em- ployment and comforts of the people of Ireland. I shall address them on the various evils which have emanated from the Union— I shall appeal to their judgment, rea- son, and experience, and 1 know my appeal will be res- ponded to. I shall recollect that I am addressing my- self to men, the principle of whose religion is liberty and freedom ( cheers). I shall say to the Orangemen and the llibbonmen, who have been imbruing their hands in each other's blood— is it religion— is it charity which pro- longs the dissensions by which this country has for years been afflicted ? I shall say to the inhabitant of Ferma- nagh, forget that Macken was the theatre of anarchy?' to the inhabitant of Tyrone, forget the Black- bridge, the scene. of your bloody warfare ( loud cheers). I shall eiitreat them, as they love their country and their God, to forget their divisions and dissensions, and to embrace each other in the spirit of forgiveness, kindness, and af- fection. I shall implore them to merge their quarrels for the common good ; and I shall tell them that almost to a man, Leinster, Minister, and Connaught, are united in a firm determination to obtain a Repeal of the Union; that nothing but their co- opfcration is required to effect it; and I shall put it to them whether they wili not bring their country within the reach of happiness and prospe- rity, rather than continue her misery and degradation by withholding that co- operation. ( Applause. ) If I mis- take not my own feelings, this is the spirit and the man- ner in which I shall proceed to that independent quarter of Ireland,— Ulster. I shall entreat them not to sup-, pose that I come among them with the intention of inci- ting them to the pursuit of any object which their deli- berate good sense, intuitive perception, mature and accurate judgment will not sanction ; and in appealing to them to consider the advantage and importance to Ireland of the Repeal of the Legislative Union, I shall not distract them by the introduction of other and ex- traneous topics, which might, by possibility, either divert them from the proper contemplation of that question, which is to Irishmen paramount in interest to all others, or bias and influence their judgment, which is on gene- ral questions frequently found to be sound, rational and correct. 1 shall detain jou no longer, but beg your ac- ceptance of my thanks for the favourable attention with which you have listened tome. Mr. Costello sat down amidst loud cheerings. Various resolutions were passed, and the business of the Meeting being transacted, Mr. JACOB was called to the chair, and a voteof thanks passed amid acclammation to Mr. Steele, who addressed the meeting at some length, after which the meeting adjourned till Saturday next, after giving three cheers , for the Society, and three for Mr. O'Connell. THE LITERARY EXAMINER. ORIGINAL. LOVE'S VICTIM. " Too late—' tis past— thou wert, thou art, The cher. shed madness of my heart."— Giour. WHEN o'er his youthful forehead fell his rich and raven hair, Uninjured by one anxious thought, one silv'ring touch of care, The spirit- speaking glance, that broke from bis dark eye, betrayfd A soul, whose every passion would too promptly be obeyed. Oh! I remember how that eye was woi't to sparkle then, That now is cold and lustreless, to never beam again ; And how the warm and rushing tide, from boyhood's boundihg heart, Was wont to crimson o'er his cheek, when Agnes bade it start; She was his first, his fondest thought, from reason's dawning hour, When with his infant hand lie reared her little baby bower; • And when, with mimic gallantry, he boldly dared to pull < The dog- rose, from the thornyh'edge, to deck her waxen doll. ; • ' fi She was his heart's unceasing feel, when, bursting from its bud, Her rose- like beauty bloomed in all the pride of womanhood; And when he stood beside her harp, and felt its thrilling sound, How swelled that heart in ecstacy— how joyous did it bound! She was so very beauteous, too— like truth did she appear;— I5ut who can read a woman's heart—' tis changeful as the air. A stranger came— he fiattered her, and stole, in one short hour, The garland that her first fond love from infancy had wore. Ah ! many feel the dreariness the blighted bosom knows, When wrecked on some false heart, o'er which its youth and beauty flows; But he felt all the hopelessness it leaves within the core Of hearts, where love and life are one, but sundered are no more! He saw her ' mid the bridal group, so lovely was she then, Her victim gazed, and doubted that ' twas falsity within : And when the sad reality his broken bosom wrung, No chiding thought awakened there— no words proclaimed l) is wrong. He stood beside the placid lake— beneath the very tree, f Where, leaning on his fondling arm, she vowed fidelity ;— He looked upon its aged bark— be saw, recorded there, A mute memorial of that day to memory yet dear. . Suspended on his bosom lay a token of her love— He thought not, when she placed it there, that she could faithless prove;— He tore it from its shattered shrine— one farewell look he gave— Then buried it beneath the tree his charnel waters lave! He pressed his cold perspiring hand upon his fevered brow— His lips convulsingly exclaimed, " All, all is over now!" His eye then fixed on vacancy— no tear- drop trickled there—, His face was pale and spectre- like, the emblem of despair; And, floating on the passing breeze, a merry peal he beard— That was the last terrestrial sound that touched his spirit's chord. He made his grave— his early grave— beneath the water's swell, And ' twas her nuptial peal that tolled her victim's dying knell! E. F. B. N, wry, Oct. 1, 1830. RECOLLECTIONS OF THE ROAD IN IRELAND. No. II. " Here will I rest to- night—• But w. bere to- morrow."— RICH. III. THE conclusion of my last sketch left me soinewlitre in the neighbourhood of Hillsborough church. In the course of a few hours after, imagine me seated opposite a bright blazing fire in the travellers' room of the Bel- fast Commercial Hotel, surrounded by the well- known faces of several old brothers of the road, from Brumma- gem and Manchester, and a number of strangers of different size, shape, and complexion. Amongst the lat- ter was a tall,, bony, iron- countenanced personage, who arrested my attention the moment I entered the room. He was by, profession a hop merchant, and lived at his ease on the cash he procured for making others fatigue themselves by capering about to the scraping of cat- gut, or, as a particularly genteel and precise young milliner once denominated it, " puss's bowels." He not only tript it on the " light fantastic toe," but he was also his own musician, and drew not only a devilish good bow, but sometimes a cursed long one. He had just been amusing the company by the recital of some of his travelling ex- ploits, performed at a time when, to use his own words, he was in the constant habit of walking thirty or forty miles a- day, till his feet became so firm and hard that he could chip a splice oiF a deal- board with his bare heel as dexterously as a carpenter could with his adze. " Oh, come now," said a leering young lad in a corner of the room, " you'll require to shew us the craner's note before we believe that." " Believe it, Sir!" exclaimed the other, knitting his brows and twisting awry the corners of his mouth, which was naturally a little to one side; " zounds, Sir, before I got my left arm broken, I could do any thing. I was sitting on the top of a trunk, as high as myself, on the roof of the most tremendous mail- coach that ever rail after four blood horses, when one of the wheels came in contact with the tail of a dog that was setting a partridge on the middle of the road— the shock upset us— I was thrown on my head, rebound- ed from the earth like a racket- ball, and, on endeavour- ing to get on my feet by throwing a somerset, fell on the road ; the hind wheel passed over my left arm, and broke it here, and here, and here," ( dividing it into a regular graduated scale from the wrist to the shoulder.) " The splinters of bone, Sir, were flying about like small shot, and one of them would have penetrated the brain of an inside female passenger, had it not struck her glass eye, which, though it was smashed to atoms, acted as a shield, and turned the dart aside. The arm got well in a week; only the new bone, as you. may see, wasn't properly trained, and grew rather crooked ; so that I'm obliged to play on a short fiddle, as I can't stretch my wrist so as to tickle the strings of a long one. Before that arm was spoiled, Sir, I could have fought my way through a legion. I went once into a tap- room, in Yorkshire, to get a gallon of strong ale to wash the dust down my throat, after teaching for an hour oil an unswept floor, when a carter of eighteen stone weight happening to tread on the toes of my new pumps, I d— d the rascal to get out of my way, instead of which he made kick at me with one of his clogs, which could not weigh less than a Cheshire cheese as big as the harvest moon. ' Oh, oh!' says I, ' there's two of us can play at that work;' so I just sent my foot clean through him, till I saw my silver knee- buckles shining at his back- bone: and there we were, Sir, locked in as close an embrace, and as well soldered together as the Siamese youths. It's truth I tell ye." " Och, by my conscience," said a whiskey merchant from Cork, " I'll never ask you to give me change for a bad sixpence after that. It beats an ad- venture that once befel a drayman of mine, who was sent to a country friend with a couple of kegs of over- stock spirits that I wanted to put out of the way of the guager. He stopt at a public house to get his supper, and put the horse in the stable, and the two kegs under the manger. While he was eating, the horse, I suppose, thought it no harm to drink his health ill his absence ; so he knocked the heads out of the two kegs, and drain- ed them to the bottom. When Barney had laid in his prog, out he went to get ready for the road, and there was the poor horse, as stiff as a dish of cold flummery, lying at full length on the stable floor, and as dead as mutton. ' Och, by the powers,' thought Barney, ' what'il the master say to this; but since I'm no resur- rection man, I needn't try to put the life in him again ; so I'll just skin him, and take home the price of the hide.' No sooner said than done; and in less than half an hour the leather was off, and part of the worth of it spent in a round to the old mare's memory. The poor beast, however, was only dead drunk; and when she was stript, and exposed to the cold, she soon came to her senses, and alarmed the people in the house with her prancing and neighing. Out they came in a body; and sure enough there was the mare dancing about the yard like an incarnate devil. There was no time to be lost; so Barney threw the hide over her shoulders : the beast stood as quiet as a Iamb till he stitched it neatly on; and for many a long day after, people came from far and near to see the mare that had the hide striped like a drummer's jacket; for she was a black mare, and the hair grew white all along the seams." " Bravo! bravo!" exclaimed the hearers; " here's long life to the mare, and success to Barney!" WheVi the bustle and laughter had subsided, the gen- tleman of the crooked arm volunteered a song, and com- menced with " Four- and- twenty fiddlers all in a row," and went on with " four- and- twenty tailors, coblers, & c. all in a row," till he had sung about four- and- twenty verses, and would have continued, most likely, to give a verse to every trade in the universe, had not the patience of the company burst its prison- house, and escaped in a laugh so loud and long, that the very room, and all that it contained, shook with its reverberations. " Vi ell, gentlemen," said he, " if you wont let me sing the song, I'll tell you another story, and you may depend on the truth of every word of it. I had a brother, a fine powerful looking man: he was leader of the orchestra in Drury- lane, and when he appeared at the desk, with his powdered head, and his cremona in his hand, straight as a rush, Sir, he could make every fiddler in the band tremble with a glance. He had them all as tame and obedient as a c< it in a colony of mice. He had an ear as fine as a piece of silver wire, and could tell who sounded a false note when every instrument was in full play. ' Sir,' he would say, ' who authorized you to introduce that shake ? or, who instructed you to prolong that bar ? If I had thought them necessary, I should have marked them: recollect, in future, to go by the very letter don't deviate the breadth of the finest hair in a butterfly's tail; or, if you do, by the bow of my immortal bass fiddle,, I'll annihilate you!' Now, Sir, this bass fiddle nk what I was about to speak of. It was the most superb, awful, and immense instrument of music thsAye ever heheld, or ear listened to. It occupied the time of thirteen men for thirteen months to build it; and required the combined powers of twenty- four of the stoutest coal porters, with a patent windlass, to screw up the strings, every one of which was eighteen inches in dia- meter ; four barrels of rosin were exhausted on the bow; fifty of the first musicians were required to draw it; and, instead of fingering, the strings were operated on by five tight- rope dancers. The first time the bow was passed over the strings, the sound produced was so overwhelm- ingly powerful and magnificent, that it knocked down eighteen houses in the neighbourhood, broke the win- dows in ten times as many more, and set all the church bells a ringing for six miles round. Twenty Members of the Lower House were awoke from a sound sleep, produced by a debate on the Corn Laws : an Act of Parliament was passed prohibiting my brother from per- forming on this instrument of his own invention, on pain of eternal banishment; and he, at last, presented it, as a token of respect, to the renowned Dick Martin, for the purpose of amusing the jack- asses, and frightening away his creditors. I have myself, in my possession, a cre- mona, which was once the property of the Sultan Amu- rath, from whom my family is descended. Amurath and Murchadare, in the Turkish language, synonymous, and my name is Moorhead, which my great- grandfather adopted, as a more Christian cognomen, when he first came to this country, as Ambassador from the Dey of Algiers, in the year 1730. My father, who was his youngest son, was a boy of superlative abilities : he was supple as an eel, could put his head in the hind pocket of his coat, and loose the tie of his shoe with his teeth, without stooping his head, or lifting his foot from the ground. He once stood on his head on the weather- cock at the top of St. Paul's for twenty- four hours, hauled up a basket of provisions by twisting the cord round his legs, screwed the corks out of the bottles with the point of his nose, eat and drank till he was tired, and then turned, head over heels, two hundred and ninety- five times in the leap he made from the dome to the ground, where there was a pile of feather beds ready to receive him. He wore tight flesh- coloured pantaloons, could cut thirty- six times without touching the ground, and dance the sai- lor's hornpipe on the point of aknitting- needle. He ran off with one of the queen's maids of honour; his father, like a Turk, as he was, disowned him; he became a Chris- tian, took to the stage for a livelihood, and was the first opera dancer of the day. In due course of time, myself, sixteen brothers, and some half dozen of sisters, were ushered into the world : we were all handsome, lively, well- built boys and girls as you'd see in a day's walk ; for we had a father that could leap over the world, and a mother as lively as a kitten, and as gentle as a dove. She was full of the milk of human kindness, never took a glass of brandy in her life— without a due portion of water, and wouldn't have boxed her lord and master's ears for the universe— unless he deserved it. We all walked, or rather hopped, in our father's footsteps. The talents of some people lie in their head ; but that of my- self and all my family, at least from my father ddwn to me, was centred in our feet. Like timber merchants, we all deal in feet and lunches ( you'll observe the pun ;) for I always like to see the leg thrown boldly out from the upper joint of the thigh, with a grand and graceful sweep, instead of working the joints at right angles up and down, as if you were tramping meal hard down to keep for a dear summer. All my brothers took the bait easily—( I'm an angler)— and were played into the land- ing- net by woman— they all got married, settled down in life by Act of Parliament, after having been three times called, and no one forthcoming to forbid the banns; but, like Richard, ( I quote Shakespeare some- times,) I am, and am determined to be, ' myself alone.' I buy and fry my own beefstakes, put my plate before the fire, and when ' tis red- hot, I pop a pound of butter, two small onions, and the fizzing stake into the centre, and, with the addition of two dozen west- red potatoes, make a dinner that a king might stretch himself after sixteen tumblers of good malt settles the belligerents, and then [ go to sleep ' with what appetite I may.' Though I make my livelihood by cutting capers, I can't say I'm fond of pickles, and a wife with a vinegar temper is the worst relish, in the sour way, that can appear at a dinner table. By- the- bye, I forgot to finish the story about the bass fiddle. I was walking to a tuition in the country at the time its tone was tried, just taking a near cut through a field, as I was rather past my time, when the sound so startled me, that I missed my footing, fell into a cellar, head foremost, into a large glue- pot— hadn't time to wait to get it pulled off— went and gave a lesson of two hours with it on my head, and could not get rid of it by any other means than popping my scull into a smith's forge, and when the glue softened, allow- ing the pot, with all the hair on my head, to be gently pulled away. I wore a wig for three months, looked particularly interesting, and had a crop of hair after- wards as strong as the quills of a porcupine, and as thick- ly set as the bristles on a shoe- brush. I have ever since considered glue far superior to the celebrated Macassar oil, a bottle of which, to my own knowledge, fell and was spilled on a deal box at night, and converted it into a hair trunk before morning." The good humoured and universal hilarity caused l> y the recital of the " hair- breadth ' scapes" of the descend- ant of Amurath, induced the party to dip deep into the soul- inspiring beverage, yclept good whiskey- punch, and the song, the story, and the jest succeeded each other in rapid progression. As each individual had his own pe- culiar forte in contributing to the amusement of the evening, our conversation, like a plumb- pudding, was, of course, composed of a variaty of ingredients. One THE 1STEWRY EXAMINER. 2 5 9 young man, however, of a pale and sickly complexion; toith a cast of countenance that would have graced the frontispiece to one of Mrs. lladcliffe's romances, and a figure somewhat resembling a church steeple in a con- sumptive:., appeared peculiarly fond of ghost stories, had seen and shook hands with a host of disembodied spirits, and had even, 011 one occasion, chatted for nearly two hours with the old gentleman himself. He had been returning from an evening party, and was making his way home, as well as he could, through the deserted streets of a country town, at about half- past one on a cold winter morning. On turning a corner, he ob- served a figure muffled up in a huge travelling cloak,. which continued to move forward in the very same path he had to pursue. It stopped directly opposite the hotel, and as the narrator was about to slip quietly past, it made a grasp at him, which he eluded, and the old fel- low, ( as he afterwards proved to be,) having missed his footing, fell head foremost against the door, through which his antlers penetrated in a moment, and there he remained, unable to extricate himself, bellowing like a fury, and kicking like a four- year old filly. " I once or . twice endeavoured to get past him," said the story teller, " but he made his tail play round him like a coachman's whip, and swore he wouldn't let me in, unless I pulled him by the legs till he got his head set at liberty, reasoned with him for nearly an hour; but he was deaf to all my arguments, so I was compelled to seize hirh by the hoof, pulled with all my might and main, till at last, with a desperate tug, out came the horns, and down came I on the pavement, where 1 was found by the waiter in the morning, quite insensible, with my hands as black as a shoemaker's apron, and surrounded by a stench of sulphur that would have smothered a bee- hive." Whilst some of our friends appeared to doubt the authenticity of the above " tale of wonder," others seem- ed inclined to keep at an humble distance from one who had been in such close contact with his infernal majesty. " Tut, Sir," said he of the Turkish origin, " what you have told us is a mere cypher in comparison to what I could unfold I have seen the man of colour you allude to as often as I have played ' Sir Roger de Coverley.' I was returning from a tuition late, on a clear moon- light night, when he met me, just as I had cleared at a bound a six- foot brick wall that intercepted my path. 4 It's a fine night,' said he. ' Pretty tolerable,' exclaim- ed I. ' You can play the violin,' said he. ' Excellently well,' as Hamlet says, replied I. ' Then,' says he, * play me The night before Larry was stretched, for I just want a dance to give me an appetite for supper.' I took my violin ( it was my cremona) from Under my coat skirt, rosined the bow, and commenced elbowing it in magnificent style. The old boy cut and capered about with the air of a Parisian beau, snapped his fingers, shouted hugh! with the glee of a Killevy- man, and made me a most graceful bow when I had finished the last bar. ' Well done,' said he, presenting me his snuff- box, out of which I extracted a pinch of Lundy's supe- rior high toast; ' I'll be most happy to see you at all times, and if ever I can be of service to you, I'm at your command:' and so saying, he sprung over the Wall; and though it was a night that would have frozen the trunk off an elephant, I could have roasted an egg in my waistcoat pocket, or fried a beefstake in the crown Of my hat, with the heat I had imbibed during the con- versation. I consider him a personage of superior abi- lities ; he has a fine ear for music, and his penetration is most acute; for he told me, at the first glance, that I was as clever a fellow as ever he had met with." " Mr. Ghair and Gentlemen," said a voice, ( for it would have required the aid of a microscope to distin- guish the speaker— he was one of nature's jewels— fine workmanship in small bulk,) " in return for the very exquisite fund of amusement which we have derived A'om the good- natured remarks of the last speaker, I consider that we are bound to pay him the compliment of toasting his health in a bumper." Hear, hear! ex- claimed one and all; and " Long life and success to the noble descendant of the far- famed house of Amurath," was drank with a hip, hip, hurra ! that would have dis- turbed the repose of one of the " seven sleepers." The worthy son of the Turk arose, and, after making one of his very best congees, spoke as follows : " Gentlemen,— I'm totally unaccustomed to public speaking ( hear) ; but my heart is swelling like a pun- cheon of barm, with the astounding, overwhelming, and tremendous emotions with which your kindness has stuffed my breast. ( Hear, hear.) I'm a man of few words, like the humble Norval, i I boast not but with deeds.' I have already hopped into your affections— I have stepped on the floor of your good opinions— and I'll now jump over all your heads !" The word was only prior to the deed. He leaped over the table, ran round the room, like a coach wheel, on his hands and feet, stood with his head on an empty tumbler, balanced a poker on his nose, and, with sixteen somersets, made his exit from the room, followed by the whole company in a view halloo ! D. NEWSPAPER CHAT. VISIT OP THE KING AND QUF. FN TO THE CORPORATION It is fifty settled that the King visits the City of London on Lord Mayor's Day ; and what will add great eclat to the occasion, his Majesty will be accompanied by the Queen. The most splendid preparations are making, and the day will perhaps be the most interesting one that the city has witnessed for the last half cen- tury. A new music gallery is to be erected in the Hall, and ar- rangements are making for lighting up with gas the splendid painted window, It is highly characteristic of the habits of the present King and Queen, that when at the Court of St. James's on Wednesday, 6th inst. the Lord Mayor inquired'at what time it would be convenient for the city authorities to wait upon the Queen at Brighton for the purpose of inviting her Majesty to ac- company the King, his Majesty replied, that they might save themselves that time and trouble, as he would answer for the. Queen being happy to accept their invitation. It is stated that the dinner will be an early one, and that the Lord " Mayor's pro- cession will therefore take place in the morning, and will after- wards meet the royal cortege at Temple Bar, when the whole will proceed together through the city. The Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, spd- the Recorder, attended by the city officers, called in their carriages at the residences of the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Kent, the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Leopold, and the other members of the Royal Family, and left invitations far their Royal High- nesses to dine with the Ix> rd Mayor and Corporation on the above occasion.— Court Journal. The theatrical world will be delighted to learn, that Miss Fanny Kemble is about to appear immediately in . an entirely original character,— consequently, one which admits of no " odi- ous" comparisons, and which may therefore be received as iji some respects a more sure test of her dramatic powers than any other that she has yet performed. The character is lively to ex- cite great attention and curiosity in another pqint. of view, being that of a royal Jewish maiden. The piece is a tragedy from the pen of Mr. Thomas Wade, author of " Woman's Love"— a dra- ma which, though from its peculiarly untractable subject, it was not remarkably popular as an acting piece, excited high and anxious hopes as to the future productions of its youthful author. The title of the piece is " the Jew of Arragon; or the Hebrew Queen ;" and Charles Kemble plays the chief male character— the Jew of Arragon. It is the author's intention to dedicate his tragedy to the Jews of Great Britain, its whole tendency being highly favourable to that people.— Court Journal. We hear that Miss Fanny Kemble and her father netted by their theatrical tour in the provinces, during the summer months, between five and six thousand pounds. Miss Paton has been offered by the manager of Covent Garden Theatre the highest salary given to any performer 011 the es- tablishment ; and Mr. Wood, the proprietors have likewise pro- posed to engage at seventeen pounds per week. We believe there is considerable expectation of both these singers accepting the ofters made them, if they have not done so already. THE DUTCH KING.— His Majesty is a plain, worthy, ill- favoured person, who, if a private individual, would make a respectable country gentleman, as far as talent is concerned, perhaps, of the second or third order. As a statesman, he is laborious, plodding, dull, meddling, and, therefore, mischievous. His Majesty is for doing every thing himself, and, therefore, nothing is done, or, dt least, nothing well done. His Majesty rises at five in the morn- ing, commences business with the dawn, and often sacrifices his dinner to the luxuries of his portfolio. All this industry would be commendable and valuable, if under the guidance of a sound Administration ; but it is not, and his Majesty only busies him^ self in vulgar details, which a cheaper clerk would better perform. His Majesty, as a private individual, is known to be one of the wealthiest Princes in Europe. Nov/, as he was ttye pennyless pen- sioner of a Foreign state, before the last fifteen years, it would be incumbent on one who claims the exclusive management of the National Finances, to explain how he has become so suddenly opulent. Either his Civil List is far too heavy for the compara- tively small nation over which he has ruled, or he has had recourse to other means still less creditable for adding to his private for- tune.— Correspondence of the Chronicle. MOZART'S VIOLIN.— In the upper partofthe suburbof St. Joseph, at Vienna, there lived, some forty years ago, a poor man of the name of ltuttler, who earned a precarious livelihood for himself and a numerous family, by dealing in a miscellaneous assortment of curiosities and bric- a- brac. Should any of our readers know half as much of our eccentric friend, John Howel, the literary ex- Janitor of the Edinburgh Academy, as does the learned warden of the Gower- street University, he will have a tolerable idea of the taste which presided over the collection Of the poor, but honfcst and industrious lluttler. His profits, I have said, were precari- ous, and were often scarcely sufficient for the support of a wife, yet young, and fourteen children, the eldest of whom was not 11101 e than sixteen years of age. Ruttler, however, was not so far de pressed by the frowns of fortune as to allow his disposition to be soured by adversity. Uniformly well- disposed and obliging, H neighbour or a traveller never applied to him for assistance 111 vain. A man apparently in the last stage of a decline, but whose grave and interesting physiognomy inspired at once attention and res- pect, was observed every day to pass poor Kuttler's shop. Froui the general cast of his countenance, it appeared as if nature had lost all charms for him ; but when passing the group of children, some engaged at work and others at play, in front of Kuttier's shop, a momentary smile would kindle in his eyes as he acknow- ledged their passing- salute, the blood would flow for an instant in- to his colourless lips, and, looking towards heaven, he would seem to wish that the fate of these poor children might be happier than his. Ruttler also had observed the stranger; and as he was ever on the watch for the smallest opportunity of being useful, he did not neglect to offer a seat to the valetudinarian on his return from his accustomed walk. The oiler was gratefully accepted, the stranger became speedily a favourite with the children, who dis- puted with each other for the pleasure of bringing out the stool for their guest. On a particular occasion— it happened to be on Whit- Monday— the stranger returned from his walk rather sooner than usual; the children surrounded him as they were accustomed to - do, and told him that their mother had given them, the night be- fore, a pretty little . inter. The stranger, leaning on the arm of the eldest of the children, then went as far as the threshold of the shop to inquire of Ruttler as to the progress of his wife's recovery. The worthy dealer in nick- nacks went out to his visiter, and alter confirming the intelligence he had received from the children, and thanking him for his inquiries, concluded by saying,—" Yes, sir, this is the fifteenth which heaven has sent us." " My brave fellow," exclaimed the stranger, in a tone of tenderness and com- misseration, " how small a portion of the treasures which are la- vished on the courtiers of Schoenbrunn would fill your household with comfort and happiness! In this age of iron, honesty and and virtue, talent and genius, are honoured only in the tomb.— But, tell me, have you 110 godfather for your little girl ?" " When a man is poor, sir," said Ruttler, " godfathers are not easily found : those of my other children have been travellers, or neigh- bours as poor as myself." " Let me give her a name," rejoined the stranger, " and Jet it be Gabrielle. Here are a hundred florins for the entertainment, at which I shall not fail to be present and as Ruttler hesitated to take, them, he said, " You will oblige me, and when you know » ne better, you will see that I am not un- worthy to share your troubles. But do me one service— I see a violin hanging in your shop^- bring it to me to this table ; I have some ideas at this moment which I wish to commit to paper," Ruttler hastened to unhook the violin, and to place it in the hanus of the stranger, who blatantly drew from it such extraordinary sounds, that the street was speedily filled with crowds of the cu- rious ; and several persons of rank, who recognised in what they heard the hand of the master, caused their carriages to halt in front of poor lluttler'sshop. The stranger, however, was so much engrossed with his own ideas that he seemed to pay 110 attention to what was passing around him. Having completed his task, he put what he had written in his pocket, and, leaving his address with the shop- keeper, he. be^ ged that notice might be sent to him of the time when the baptism would take place. Three days elapsed, but the unknown stranger did not make his appearance, although the stool was regularly placed for him at ltuttler's shop door. On the evening of the third day, some individuals dressed n mourning, and apparently in tears, were observed to stop in front of the shop, and look at the humble seat with an air of me- lancholy. At length, Ruttler resolved to go in person to inquire after his unknown visiter. He wqnt to the place appointed, but the door was hung with black. On entering the porch, he found a coffin laid out, and, as is the custom in Catholic countries, with a number of wax tapers burning around it. A crowd of ar- tists and grandees, men of letters and of science, were already as- sembled, and were heard to lament the sudden and unexpected death of him to whom they were about to pay the last sad duties. Ruttler now learned with surprise that his visiter and benefactor, and the intended godfather of his infant, was no other than Mo- zart, and that it wa, s his obsequies which were now about to be celebrated. It was at the house of poor Ruttler that Mozart ex- haled his last musical sigh; it was seated 011 the stool in front of his shop that he composed that magnificent, requiem, the dying song of the swan of, Germany. Ruttler, after paying his last hom- age to the man whom, without knowing him by name, he had honoured and respected, returned home, and was astonished to find his quiet abode already invaded by an idle, but fashionable crowd, who came to view the scene which had thus become clas- sical, and gave themselves up to admiration of what were regarded as relics, now that the object of their worship no longer existedt The notoriety thus excited proved a source of fortune to ou- ' ones, dealer in curiosities, which did nqt end until he was able to retire from business, after establishing in life his fifteen children, with a comfortable independence. He named his youngest daughter Gabrielle, in deference to the wish expressed by Mozart; and, when sixteen years of age, the violin which this great master had used a few days before his death, became her dowry. It was sold for four thousand florins; but as to the stool on which he had been accustomed to sit in returning from his walks, Ruttler would never part with it, in spite of the brilliant offers which were made to him; keeping it at once as a monument of his former poverty, and of the source ot his good fortune.— Court Journal. THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING NEAR A GARRISONTOWN .—( In a let- ter to the Editor of the Court Journal.)— Sir,— Having observed, in various instances, the admirable effects arising from your stric- tures upon fashionable abuses, and the follies of modern society, venture, as the father of a family, to solicit your interference or advice in a matter of much moment to my paternal peace, and paternal estate;— being satisfied that many a parent's bosom, within limit of the fifty- two counties still garrisoned by the scarl let relics of the late war, must labour under vexations equal to my own, and equally to be benefitted by your counsels and assist- ance. I have the misfortune, Sir, to be a Baronet of some ten' descents, with a compact estate of about' six- thousand per annum in the county of York; situated, by the severity of Providence, upon the banks of one of the finest navigable rivers in the king- dom. It was thought a lucky thing for the family, when, in my' great grandfather's, Sir Marmaduke's time, the distresses ari- sing from the civil wars compelled him to part with the parish of Warden to the corporation of the little neighbouring town of Blocktham; for the foundations of twenty factories were laid Within the year, and the banks of the river for more than a mile I were disfigured with erections four hundred feet long, by thirty broad; with a frontage of three hundred and sixty- five windows, and a single door; the eternal whissing of whose wheels might be heard on a still day oh the lawn of Elmi^ gton park! No specu- lation ever succeeded more unquestionably. The waters of our detestable river were found to afford peculiar facilities to dyers, tanners, glue- makers, soap- boilers, and the professors of every other offensive branch of commerce; and lime- kilns, brick- fields, vats, and furnaces, soon smoked in every direction. In, short, from our first cotton mill, through all the scientific progress of steam engines and rail- roads, there is no species of commercial mechanism, which has not thriven with us; and, upon an ave- rage, the plate- glass windows of my dining- room are broken by gas and steam explosions in the suburbs of Blocktham quite as frequently as those of Jhe critical mansions venturing to confront the Dartford or Hounslow powder- mills ! All these disasters, however, Mr. Editor, I could have borne; for I am a lover of my country, my county, and my parish. But when by some im- memorial process, which nothing short of a political economist can explain, the enormous wealth and prosperity of the rising city of Blocktham began to produce a pauper population, and starva- tion and riot, I confess I became more out of humour with the ob- stinacy of King Charles I., and the loyalty of my ancestor Sir Mar maduke, than I had ever found myself before. In my own per- son, I was half ruined by the increased claims of the poor laws ; and on officiating as a sheriff'of the county, I was compiled to preside at the execution of three of my tenants, and to be stunned by the vociferation of my own name, in the last dying speech and confession of " John Dobbs, late of the parish of Elmington, in this County." Even this, however, Mr. Editor, J would have borne; but, on the following year,— it was that of the birth of my eldest child,— I perceived the lime- kilns and brick- fields smoking with somewhat more than their usual effluvia, undei the direction of certain government contractors ; and, in the course of twenty- two days and four hours, there arose in the north- west, erly suburb of Blocktham one of the most extensive and architec- tural looking cavalry barracks in the County of York! Within six weeks, it was garrisoned by a regiment of dragoons ; and I confess I now became more out of humour with Charles I. and the liberal politics, and the frame- breaking propensities of the Block- thamites, than I had ever found myself before. I could not pre- vail upon Lady Elmington to see the thing in the same light as myself. She said, that for her part she had always lived in the neighbourhood of a garrison town; and had found the officers a great acquisition to the county- balls, and pic- nics, and private theatricals;— in short, my miseries were beginning! However, I at that time in Parliament, and my family of thirteen chil- dren was in process of annual arrival; so that by spending half j the year in town, getting into debt and ill- health,— and another quarter at Scarborough for the restoration of the nursery depart- ment, I contrived to see as little of Blocktham and of the Warden garrison as could possibly be contrived. Eut, most unfortunately, it chanced that Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, the very first season of my eldest daughter's introduction to society ; and Miss l^ lmington had the advantage of opening the Blocktham Christ- mas ball, with a Major lordling, of the— th Hussars, just return- ed from Foreign service, with a pair of mustachios extensive enough to serve for the stuffing of a mattress! As a matter of course, poor Sophia fell desperately in love; and lady E. being extremely covetous of a Lord Robert for her son- in- law, took care that his quarters should extend pretty largely from Warden Barracks over Elmington Park. For two seasons his Lordship shot my pheasants, lamed my hunters, and horsewhipped my te- nants j and when the regiment was eventually ordered off to Ballinarobe, we were compelled to double the period of our usual visit to Scarborough, for the recovery of Sophia's complexion. Poor girl! she nearly fretted herself into a fever, when, six months afterwards, the Freeman's Journal announced the union of Lord Robert Belmont with a Miss Bridget O'Donnerty, of the County of Mayo,— a marriage which we found to have been ex- pedited by the interference of four tall Irish brothers. But this was far from the worst part of the business. While Lady E. had been courting Lord Robert for her eldest daughter,— her second had been unsuspectedly receiving the addresses of the junior Cor- net; and while the noble Major was running away from Sophia, plan had been laid by the Honourable Adolphus Fitzadrian- hurst for running away with Mary;— with the most villainous breach of hospitality— even while he had been admitted to the free use of my claret and my billiard- table— Mr. Fitzadrianhurst, who was the eleventh son of a Scotch Baron, had been heard to calculate, at mess, " how much the old Governor at Elmington Park could come down with !" Grateful did I feel to the War- office, which had sentenced the whole regiment to Ballinarobe! Our next visitation, Mr. Editor, was in the shape of a fine old soldierly regiment of Dragoons : the Colonel a married man, and every thing highly respectable ; no flaunting honourables or right honourables; no Persian mustachois; nor any thing alarming. To ; be sure there was rather an odd- looking rantipole kind of a person, the wife of a Captain Dobbie, who used to join us sometimes with the Blocktham hounds, and drove her phaeton, dressed in a fora- ging- cap and blue satin pelisse, at all the reviews— of whom, as ill- luck would have it, Lady E. took it into her head to be jealous, and to talk to me about being the father of a grown- up family. This strange misconception so often moved my wrath to wish Mrs. Dobbie at Jericho, that when at last she broke her collar- bone by a fall out hunting, I felt almost guilty of malice propense. On many accounts I rejoiced when the dragoons were removed; for my son, Frank, was sent home three times during his Mid- summer holidays, at the bottom of Colonel Meanwell's chariot, at three o'clock in the morning; and Bob and Charles not only con- tracted a very graceless habit of profane ejaculations, but received divers contusions in matching their ponies for the amusement of the officers in the barrack- yard. During that disagreeable Dob- bie business, my daughters, indeed, had disdained all intercourse with the Blocktham garrison. Sophy was in a fit of sentiment, and Mary in a fit of the dumps; while Letitia, my third girl, of- ten received messages, through her brothers, from a very grave sallow Colonel Mayon, who had once sat near her at dinner. Letitia is the plain one of the family, and thought a good deal of attentions: but his Lady E. always said it would come to nothing. In short, Sir, every regiment quartered at Warden, during the lastten years, has given rise to some species or other of domestic an- noyance. It has become the custom for Sir Francis Elmington, to call upon " the officers," on their arrival; and for one or more of " the officers" to fall in love with one or more of my daughters in the course of the month. There is always a laced coat to be seen glittering through the lilac bushes in my shrub- bery ; the Miss Elmingtons individually and collectively are inces- santly to be found dancing, riding, sketching, singing, rowing, or in short, playing the fool with " the officers;" and whenever a removal takes place, and a new regiment comes to eat its venison at my table, one or other of the Miss Elmingtons is sure to be on the sick list; while all the elderly spinsters of the neighbourhood are shaking their heads at her disappointment, and talking over our. family distresses. " Poor Miss Sophia: that is the one who made such a set at Lord Robert; then there is Miss Mary, who had like to have thrown herself away upon a beggarly Comet. Miss Letitia tried hard for that serious Major, who, after all, was only a widower with a ready- made family. I can't say I think. Sir Mark Somers behaved well to Helen; but then to be sure she j had flirted shamefully with young Percy; and I knew it would all end, in a smoke between Bessy and Colonel Demorse." Such, Mr. Editor, is my position! I bear of nothing from January to . June, from June to January, but " the officers, the officers, the officers!" My country neighbours fight shy of me, and say my dining- room smells, like the Havannah, and their sons avoid all intimacy with my daughters, as being too knowing for the wives ' squires. " Papa, my brother Frank is going over to Doncaster with ' the officers;' papa, one qf ' the officers' has lent Jack his double- barrelled pistols ^ Papa, the gamekeeper, says ' the officers' were in the Barton woods five days last week ; Pjipa,' the officers' have broken down the young fences all . the way to Go( rseham cover!" " My dear, do not stay too late at the Quarter Sessions, you know ' the officers' dine with us on Thursday; and they have been so very attentive in riding and dancing wjth the girls, that I really must give the regiment a ball before it leaves Blocktham!" To avoid this climax of domestic misery, Mr. Editor, I have re- splved to quit mv family- seat, the county, the kingdom, rather than remain a martyr to such prolonged persecution. So long as Elmington Park remains within lounging distance of Warden Barracks, it must be an unsafe abode for the father of a family. But I hear screams in the lawn beneath my library window. " The officers" again! I thought as much! That young blockhead, Lord Tadenster's tandem has run away : killed my favourite old spaniel, and frightened two of my daughters into fits. The broken tandem is lying overturned into the dahlia bed, and the butler and my two sons are conveying his Lordship insensible into the house. Here I have him an interesting invalid, quartered at Elmington, for'At least two months to come; with " the officers" visiting him night and day, and, probably, two or three of my daughters despe- rately in love. Let me beg qf you, therefore, to lose no time in in- serting the accompanying advertisement, on account, of Sir, Your constant reader, and obedient servant, October 10th, 1830. FRANCIS ELMINGTON. PUBLIC OCCUIMENCES. NEW BISHOP OF GAI. WAY.— We have heard it rumoured that our highly gifted, esteemed, and vene- rated friend, the Right Kev. Dr. M'Hale, Roman Catholic Bishop of Maronia and Coadjutor Bishop of Killala, is the Ecclesiastic most likely to be appointed by the " Holy See" to tht: Government of the Church at Gahvay. We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of this report; but, we believe we only echo the sen- timents of the general public, when we declare, that Irish Episcopal Bench does not possess a brighter ornament of thfe Church than his Lordship.— Con- naught Journal. SEARCH FOB ARMS IN KERRY.— Sir Henry Har- dinge has addressed a letter to Richard O'Connell, Esq. of Tralee, in which he states that the Lord Lieu- tenant regrets that the search for arms should have been made, " as in the present tranquil state of the county of Kerry, his Grace considers that a search for arms in the possession of individuals, and more particularly at night, was quite uncalled for. THE POST OFFICE.— It is not the intention of Government to follow exactly the plans recommen- ded by the Parliamentary Commissioners of Inquiry, with respect to the future management of the Post- Office Department, for with a view to further retrench- ment, instead of three Commissioners, there is to be- but one Postmaster- General for the United Kingdom. The Earl of Clancarty is the Nobleman who will ulti- mately be appointed to that responsible situation. SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.— Mr. Manners Sutton, it is rumoured, wishes to retain the Speaker's chair for some time longer. It is sup- posed, however, that the present Chancellor of the Exchequer will put in his claim.— Sun. GRAND JURY LAWS.— This day ( Wednesday) a meeting was held in the court- house to receive a re- port of the committee appointed at the last county meeting. Richard Blake, Esq. as chairman of the committee, read the report, which recommended va- rious reductions in the county expenditure. Dominick Browne, Esq. M. P., and the Rev. Sir Francis Lynch Blosse, expressed their dissent from some points in the report.— Mayo Free Press. CASPIAN NAVIGATION COMPANY.— A variety of mercantile associations are forming in the South of Russia, and not the least important of these is a com- pany for the navigation of the Caspian Sea, by which, there can be no doubt, that the intercourse between Russia and her Eastern neighbours would be in- creased tenfold. We are told, that, even under the existing disadvantages with which this intercourse is trammelled, Georgia alone annually imports four- and- twenty thousand pounds weight of silk; fifteen thou- sand pounds value of cotton goods; one hundred thousand pounds value of woollens; several hundred thousand pounds value of sliins, cutlery, glass, and earthenware ; and nearly eighteen thousand pounds weight of refined sugar. In the single month of July last, ( 1830,) no less than three thousand seven hun- dred horses, and above five hundred heads of cattle reached the Georgian territory. It is not to be won- dered at, therefore, that the autocrat should feel so great a longing for Eastern acquisitions. The Duchess of Berri has ordered a sale of her private property, in order to raise about 400,000f. due from her Royal Highness for her expenses of the month of July and the preceding quarter. Among the objects reserved by the Duchess is a travelling service of plate, presented to her by Charles X„ and a collection of medals, which, with several other ar- ticles, have been sent to Lulworth Castle. Every thing that can be made productive, at Rosny, such as the land, kitchen- garden, & c. has been let, in order that the Princess may derive the best income which this, her only remaining property, can afford her. Yet several poor families, which had been long sup- ported by her Royal Highness, still continue to re- ceive assistance from her. Madame Christophe, the widow of the Emperor of Haiti, has arrived at Vienna with her two daughters. She intends spending the winter in Tuscany. FORESTS.— It appears by a paper read before the Geographical Society, at Berlin, that Hesse- Darm- stadt and Nassau, possess a greater range of forests than any other countries in Europe; in one case, it ia equivalent to forty- two per cent, and in the other, to forty per cent, of the whole territorial surface ; there are no governments so jealous as these two for the preservation of their supplies of wood; and not an inch of forest is allowed to be converted into pasture or arable, Prussia stands in the centre of the cata- logue, and, so far as it has been practicable to approxi- mate to the fact, her relative proportion of wood and forest may be assumed at twenty- five per . cent.— England and France possesses about one quarter as much; but, in the absence of wood, have an abun « dant store of coals, turf. & c. 260 THE NEWRY EXAMINER.

NEWRY, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1330. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAUJ.— General Valdez entered Spain on the 14th, at the head of a division of emigrants. The private correspondence of some of the London Jour- nals state the defeat and dispersion of this corps; but even should this disastrous news prove true, it will effect only in a very slight degree the cause of the constitutionalists, the movement under Valdez M a mere diversion. The constitutional force, on which any dependence ought to be placed, is under the command of Torrijos, and will probably enter at Andalusia. FRANCE.— On Monday se'nnight, the whole of Paris was held in commotion and terror, by an im- mense assemblage of people, ( some say, not less than from 20 to 30 thousand in number) which filled every space and avenue of the Palais- Royal, and the streets adjoining, shouting, " mort a Polignac !" & e. and when a great body of the National Guard dislodged them, ( by fair means, however) they proceeded in a body to Vincennes, ( at midnight) and surrounded the Castle, demanding to have the prisoners deliver- ed up to them. The nature and bearing of the as- semblage may be judged of when it is added, that the governor of the Castle thought it prudent to hold a regular conference with them, in which he stated, that if all Paris were there in arms, he would not obey any orders but those of the King. On this they returned to Paris, and were dispersed. The next night the whole of the National Guard, 60,000 in number, were kept under arms, and 20,000 of them occupied the principal streets and squares. Mean- time, the ministers moved to the step by the dispo- sition of the populace, have tendered their resigna- tions to the King, who has firmly refused to accept them. The King has behaved with a mingled pru- dence and boldness in this crisis, which must increase the general feeling of respect towards him that ex- ists in almost all quarters. There can be little doubt that the partisans of the exiled dynasty are actively connected with these disturbances; and a remarka- ble confirmation of this opinion is to be met with in the fact, that the Quotidienne ( the avowed organ of the Bourbons) stated positively, on Tuesday, that, in consequence of the disturbances of Monday night, the King and his family had fled to Nenillv ! The latest accounts left Paris in a comparatively tranquil state. THE NETHERLANDS.— Unsettled as the state of France must be deemed at the present moment, that of the Netherlands is incomparably more precarious, and more deeply fraught with danger to surrounding nations. Singular and unexpected as this statement may be seem, we must declare that it is impossible for any observant spectator of the state of affairs in that country to feel certain, at the present moment, whether the Prince of Orange is acting in concert with the King his father, or in opposition to his views! He has, or rather he says he has, placed himself at the head of the southern provinces, with the view of erecting them into an independent kingdom. So far, so good : but de Potter and the Provisional Govern- ment will have nothing to say to him, or his king- dom, and refer him to the assembling of the national representatives, as now the true and only arbiters in all matters connected with the future settlement of the kingdom. Meantime, the King of the Netherlands, in a speech to the States General, throws out very shrewd hints of appeals to European states for interference, and of the actual deliberations of those states with that view— is profuse in his use of the terms, " rebels," " rebellion," & c.— talks of the " temporary" necessity of his meeting the States at the Hague instead of Brussels— and so forth. Ail this is complicated ar. d perplexing to a degree which will cause all but the most inverate of political spe- culators to wait, and watch till the prospect clears and brightens of itself; which it must do vtry speedily ; for more clouded than it is it cannot be, and as little can it remain in its present state. PARLIAMENT— THE MINISTRY. Ultra- Tories have, we understand, been neutralized.— Court Journal. As the meeting of Parliament approaches, consi- derable anxiety is manifested, to ascertain to what extent the King's speech will go. For some time past, a report has been current, that, among other important announcements, it will contain a notice of the intention of Ministers to propose an amendment of the Borough System, for the purpose of giving Representatives to Manchester, Birmingham, and other large towns. We have ascertained that this report is entirely without foundation; but so much secresy is otherwise observed, that we are only able to state that the speech will announce the continued determination of the Government to retrench and economize, and a perfect agreement between the great powers of Europe, including France, relative to the disturbances on the Continent.— Ibid. We understand that the first important question to be brought forward in the new Parliament, will be that of the Regency,— when it will be proposed to vest the Regency in the Duchess of Kent, as mother of the Heiress Presumptive,— conditionally, howe- ver, on the event of issue being borne to the present King and Queen— in which case the Regency to be vested in the Queen.— Ibid It is settled that the King will not open the Par- liament in person; but his Majesty will receive the Addresses of the two Houses on the Throne, on the 3d of Nov.— Ibid. The report gains, ground that Sir George Murray and Mr. Goulburn are to retire from the Ministry.— Ibid. Saturday Morning, October the 23d.— There have been several meetings between the Foreign Ambassa- dors and the Duke of Wellington, and the Earl of Aberdeen, on the subject of the treaties which were entered into with the King of the Nether'ands. We can state, on the best authority, that, if necessary, in- terference will be used to enforce the provisions of those treaties, so far as the settlement of the peace of Europe is concerned; but hopes are entertained that intervention will not be necessary.— Ibid. Very great exertions have been made by the dif- ferent Courts of Europe on behalf of the French ex- ministers. The Duke of Wellington, and the Am- bassadors of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, have had frequent interviews with Prince Talleyrand on the sub- ject, and have received from him, in the name of his government, an assurance that every possible effort will be made to extend mercy to those unfortunate persons.— Ibid. We understand it is determined that the Militia shall be called out.— Ibid. [ We believe they are intended to relieve the regi- ments of the line, now quartered in Ireland.] principal streets of Armagh, a number of those whom the Mail is fond of designating; par excellence, " loyal men." We hate such arbitrary conduct, whether it be exercised against Orangemen, or Ca- tholics, or Irishman in general; and we would be failing in public duty, did we not denounce it in terms of the strongest indignation. A suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act for a single hour is, thank God, a measure which no Ad- ministration, that has the slightest regard for its own stability, will dare to resort to; but, we tell the Duke of Wellington and his orderlies, that if they suppose the people of Ireland are to be dragooned into qui- escence, or drilled into a forgetfulness of their rights, they are miserably mistaken. The arbitrary, uncon- stitutional, and illegal act of Sir Henry Hardinge, has aroused a feeling of indignation, even among those who were hostile to the formation of the so- ciety it suppressed, and who doubted the expediency of agitating the measure which that society was de- signed to further. It is looked upon as a prelude to forcing upon Ireland the enactments against the ag- riculture of the country, and for annihilating the press, which Ministers were obliged to abandon in the last session of Parliament. But it is right that the Dic- tator should know that it will require more bayonets than he will shortly have to spare, to make Ireland submit to any attempt to subvert or thwart the right, which the Constitution guarantees to us, of assem- bling for the protection and preservation of our li- berties, the redress of our grievances, or the peace- able, but not the less effectual, resistance to unjust and ruinous taxation, and to any attempt against the Liberty of the Press. With no philosophic spirit have the accomplished statesmen, at the head of our affairs, studied passing events, if they imagine DE- CISION is every thing needful in good government, or that military tactics are completely applicable to civil affairs. Polignac made trial of the system, and failed. THE 87TII REGIMENT. PROCLAMATION OF THE DICTATOR'S LICTOR. indeed, it must be admitted, that it is, in some respects, and in others as much for the worse. For some week* back, the scavangers have disappeared out of this street entirely— they have not been seen at all— and when wv. do see them, what are they? Four or live old creatures, scarcely able to push themselves along, resting so soldier- like on their ponderous broomsticks, with a c .? Vw of to- bacco in their mouths, chatting about the French Revo- lution, or soaringintotbe regions of national politics. Are these the kind of scavangers such a town as this requires ? I tell you, two able men, that woidd mind their busi- ness, would do as much as all the scavangers in the town put together— Yours, & c. VERITAS. Hill- street, 23d Oct. VESTRIES IN ARMAGH. Parliament met yesterday. The following on dits are interesting:— nnudiji cue last tnree weeks, the Duke of Wel- lington lias " been in active intercourse with several Members of the House of Commons who were ex ucciwt to uppose Ministers, and the result is stated « > tie very satisfactory to the Duke, Some of the Sir Henry Hardinge has usurped to himself the des- potic authority which an unconstitutional Act of Par- liament places in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland alone, and has issued a Proclamation for the Suppression of the Anti- Union Society, about to be formed in Dublin. After ages will scarcely credit that, in the nineteenth century, an assembly of Bri- tish Senators deliberately enacted a law so repug- nant to the spirit of the British Constitution, as that which vests the viceroy of this province with such arbitrary powers; but it is now an astounding fact, that the Lord Lieutenant's Secretary has had the unprincipled audacity to assume to himself the right of bringing this infamous enactment into operation. The enactment, of itself, would be a disgrace to the statute book of any country that pretended to a sha- dow of liberty : it arms the Lord Lieutenant with a power which the veriest despot in Europe does not possess; its deprives the people of one of their boasted privileges, the right of assembling for the redress of national and local grievances; it strikes at the very root of constitutional liberty; and it places the lives and liberties of his Majesty's subjects at the disposal of any political quack, who may be furnished with a diploma from the English Government to practise upon the body politic of the Irish people. But flagitious as this enactment is, it does not dele- gate the monstrous power to every understrapper of the Viceregal Government; and the act of Sir Henry Hardinge is as illegal as it is impolitic and unprincipled. As was to be expected, the Evening Mail lauds the military secretary for the promptitude and deci- sion he has displayed. It ferociously exults at the determination of the executive to enforce the obser- vance of the Proclamation at the point of the bayo net; and it bawls, like an intoxicated idiot, for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Despotic as our rulers are inclined to be, they will treat the in- sane ravings of the Mail with contempt; they will not even follow the sage advice of that consistent journal, and condemn the " arch- agitator" to a fort- night's imprisonment. The inconsistency of this now contemptible print, is not more flagrant than the truculent spirit it evinces. It will not now remem- ber, that this precious piece of legislation, which en- abled Sir Henry Hardinge to issue his infamous proclamation, also armed Major- General Thornton with the power of dispersing the Mail's pets, at the point of the bayonet, on the 12th of July last; and that it gave that gallant officer an opportunity of inarching, like felons to the county jail, through the The slanderous persecution of this gallant regi- ment still continues. The Newry Telegraph, of Friday last, relates the disorderly conduct of three or four soldiers, in passing through Sugar Island, on the Tuesday night previous; but, with a candour quite in keeping with its general course, it suppresses the fact, that a gang of ruffians, the dregs of this town, are in the habit of annoying the soldiers of the 87th by the most insulting expressions. On the evening of Friday last, as the soldiers were return- ing to their barracks, a number of these blackguards, who are a disgrace to our town, were seen shouting after them, and trying, by every means in their power, to insult them, but the men passed peaceably on, without paying the slightest attention to the insults they received. Facts like this, which are of fre- quent occurrence, might have escaped the know- ledge of our contemporary ; but it is morally impos- s. ble that he is not aware of a circumstance which has been a matter of Magisterial investigation, » nd with which the whole town has become ac- quainted. A person named Anderson, in High Street, has been convicted of offering wanton and unprovoked insult to some soldiers of the 87 th, and sentenced by thU Magistrates to pay a fine of £ 1, or be imprison- ed. This fact, however, did not suit the purpose ihfe Telegraph had in view, and, accordingly, it is suppressed; while stories, of the misconduct of the military, are blazoned forth to furnish opportunity foi'jthe Evening Mail to vent its bile, and call upon ihe Government to banish the regiment to Barbadoes. We are not disposed to step out of our way to compli- ment the Telegraph ; but we do think it is fitted for better purposes than to act the contemptible part of a jaekall caterer to the depraved appetite of its Dublin contemporary. It is cruel, unjustifiable, and unhand- some conduct to the officers and men of the regi- ment, for any newspaper to be continually setting forward the exaggerated and distorted representa- tions that party malevolence may give to the dis- orderly conduct of two or three soldiers in the corps. There is no instance of a whole regiment being with- out a few individuals, who will sometimes act im- properly when under the influence of intoxicating liquors; but we again repeat, that the general con- duct of the 87th, in Newry, has been most orderly; while the affectionate respect which the men evince and express towards their officers, is as creditable to the latter as it is to the soldiers themselves. DIRTY STREETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWRY EXAMINER. SIR,— I beg, through the medium of your truly ex., ccllent Journal, to direct the attention of' the Commis- sioners to Hill- street, as it seems to have entirely escaped their notice, and, in my humble opinion, it ought to be attended to as much as any other part of Newry, as it is the most public way for strangers, and certainly the first street in our tastimproving town. Certainly, while they are paving, macadamizing, closing up cellars, and so forth, they ought not to forget cleanliness. In this street, together with many others, the people are wal- lowing up to the ankles in mire and dirt. When tile inhabitants had the cleaning of it themselves, it was very different— each person cleaned before his own tenement, and carried away the dirt; but now, if they clean the breadth of the footpath, it is all that is required, or even allowed, as there is a fine for carrying away any dirt without leave of the Commissioners, ' i'he inhabitants, therefore, sit in silence, and view their streets, once clean, now a nuisant p to their shops, all by their new Police Bill. When this came out first, it was thought the town would be entirely changed for the better; and, WE, have received the following letter from the Rev. Mr. Mangan, Curate of Armagh, in reference to some observations made in the leading article of our last number:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWRY EXAMINER. Armagh, October 21 st, 1830. SIR,— Having read in the Newry Examiner, of yes- terday, some observations in which, from the situation I have the honour to hold here, I consider myself parti- cularly interested; and being confident that you would not willingly mislead your readers, I must beg leave to make a few remarks upon that part of your leading ar- ticle which refers to the manner in which Vestries have- been conducted in the City of Armagh. You state that " a few years ago, a few individuals taxed the parish and laid on whatever Church Cess they thought proper, and applied it as they pleased." I have been now up- wards of seven years Curate of Armagh, my colleague in office nearly the sain (/ space of time. In consequence of the delicate state of the then Dean, Lord Lifford, the management of Vestries devolved upon us, and we con- fidently and fearlessly assert, that they have not been conducted as stated in your paper; and that our Parish proceedings have, upon all occasions, been fair, open, and legal; nor have we ever heard that our predecessors, or ourselves, were ever charged with unfair or dis- honourable conduct. With regard to the last Vestry, your informant has given you a very wrong impression indeed, as would appear from your stating, that " the Clergy and their adherents were obliged to succumb this would imply that we had been opposed to fair and reasonable inquiry. But what is the fact ? Reports had been industriously circulated, that the part of the New Church, already finished, had not been properly exe- cuted, and it was judged adviseable, by all parties, both for the sake of the contractor and the satisfaction of the Parish, that an investigation should take place ; and to show the spirit with which that inquiry was met by my- self, as Chairman of the Vestry, and my friends, 1 shall only mention that I suggested a measure, which was proposed and carried, viz. that the requisitionists them- selves, who had applied to the Church- Wardens to call the meeting, should be empowered to employ a respect- able architect to examine and report upon the work- As to the " Hint of the Sectarian," to which you allude, it did not reach my ears. In one point, however, I cer- tainly agree with him, that " the Church is Public Pro- perty," and nothing will aftbrd me greater pleasure than to perceive the public availing themselves of their privi- lege to enter it. There is another observation, which meets with my unqualified assent, that " there was no objection made to the expense :" most kindly and libe- rally did the parishioners step forward on that occasion, and, without a dissenting voice, voted the required sum ; which circumstance will ever be remembered by the Clergy with the warmest gratitude. I have the satisfac- tion to inform you, that by the report of the architects employed, ( men. of the first character in their profes- sion, ) it appears that the Church is considered, on the whole, to be " substantially built;" and, notwithstand- ing the " Hint," it will long, I trust, echo to the voice of the Ministers of our Scriptural Establishment, cen- turies hence, when the present race of Clergy shall have been called upon to render an account of their stew - ardship. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient servant, COSBY STOPFORD MANGAN, Curate of Armagh. We freely admit that the parish proceedings of Ar- magh, for the last seven years, were " fair, open and le- gal:" the character of Mr. Mangan and his colleague would be a sufficient guarantee for this, did any doubt exist on the subject. But this admission does not, in the slightest degree, militate against our assertion— that the affairs of the parish were managed by a few; and we maintain that, wherever this is the case, the parishioners are deficient in the duty they which owe to themselves; and no matter how honest or honoura- ble the individuals maybe to whom the regulation of' the parochial affairs are entrusted, it is impossible for them, unless they are possessed of infallibility, to consult the interests of the parishioners in all cases, if the parishioners do not attend as they ought, and look after their own affairs. It is, therefore, with great pleasure, that we observe, not only in Armagh, but in many other parishes, a determination, on the part of the People, to attend at the Easter and other Vestries, and exercise the privileges with which the law invests them. With regard to the last Vestry, we candidly ac- knowledge, that when we said " the clergy and their adherents were obliged to succumb," we were in error in supposing Mr. Mangan had shown himself inimical to the strictest inquiry. His conduct through- out was, as we are informed, candid and conciliating; and he displayed the utmost good humour, when al- most any other man would have lost his temper, at the pertinacious spirit which the parishioners dis- played. Concerning those whom we characterized as the " adherents" of the clergy, we can only reiterate our observations. They wished to stifle inquiry; and when they found that the People were deter- mined to have the matler investigated, they did all in their power to have an architect of their own choosing appointed. In reference to the conclusion of Mr. Mangan's letter, we would say, that though we would wish to - 261 THE NEWRY EXAMINER. see the Irish Church Establishment shorn of its gor- geous trappings, and its worldly emoluments more cqUfTyv distributed, we would regret the day when the " New Cjf'ireh" of Armagh should be converted to any other purpose than the one for which it was built. For our friends and brethren's sake— peace be within its walls ! Whatever changes may be made in the secular concerns of the Irish Church Establish- ment, ( and that they will one day he made, we as firmly believe as we sincerely trust they will,) the u New Church" of Armagh will not want a congre- gation of Episcopalian Protestants, so long as they have men to minister in holy things among them, such as those with whom they now unite in the wor- ship of that God " whose service," to use the words of their beautiful liturgy, " is perfect freedom." PARTY SPIRIT IN THE COUNTY DOWN. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE NEWRY EXAMINER. DEAR SIR,— I think it proper, and in some respects necessary, to put you in possession of the following oc- currence, that, through the instrumentality of your wide- ly virculated Paper, the public may know the matter, and decide upon its merits. A man called Robert Cle- land, of Magheralone, in this Parish, in very low cir cumstances, having had only three or four acres of rocky land, died of a fever on the 13th inst. He had been ill only a few days : his sickness was not alleviated by any kin/ 1 attentions of relatives or of neighbours, on account <: f the repulsiveness of the disorder; nor was any spiritual aid sought for or administered either by Priest, . Minister, or Elder; but in the utmost privacy and lowliness of abandoned poverty did the poor man breathe his last! Put not thus private was his funeral. They kept his remains above ground until the Kith, when an assem- blage of five or six hundred Orangemen, from all quar- ters, attended, with poles and streamers to the amount of thirteen, with fifes and drums, and all the insignia and parapharnalia of Orangeism. They then trium- phantly carried off the corpse to the cemetery adjoining to the village of Kilmore, and there deposited the con- tagious remains with all the appropriate Orange honours and formalities. On their return to their respective places, some of which were ten miles distant, they amused themselves as they marched with the necessary tunes of Protestant Orange Ascendency, such as " Cro- pies lie down," " More Holy Water," " Kick the Pope before you," & c. & c. Indeed, Mr. Editor, theymarch- T ed like the Waterloo conquerors over a prostrate and fallen - people, and did every thing in their power, both by words and gesture, to provoke and irritate the loyal, peaceable, and long- patient Catholics of this neighbour- hood. We incessantly inculcate upon the minds of our hearers the necessity of now, at last, forgiving our ene- mies, of forgetting past wrongs, and all the ills we have hitherto endured ; and, in justice to our people, I must state, that, in their intercourse with their dissenting brethren, they endeavour to cultivate good will, kindli- ness, and every social and Christian virtue. What de- mon of discord is it, then, that blights all our bright hopes and anticipations of the co- operation, and union, and national feeling of all the sons of Erin ? Could not Magisterial influence, and decision, and impartiality, ex- tinguish those ajiti- social, anti- Irish, and flagitious feel- ings. aided by all the exertions of all the respective teachers of the Protestant and Presbyterian congrega- tions? What views can such deluded disturbers of the harmony of society propose by such conduct? Civil war we shall avoid and decline, though they provoke it. Ex- termination they may not, and, 1 hope, do not, now think of; for that cannot be done : the days of passive submis- sion to oppression tire gone for ever! What, then, in the name of God, do they mean by eternizing their in- sults and hostility, not only at stated times, but at the interment even of their poor neglected dead? Why, they wish to keep Ireland for ever in a state of vassalage and degradation— they take a Satanic pleasure in tearing her bosom to pieces. We, the Catholics, conjure all our fellow- citizens, of all denominations, to desist from their deadly strife. In the words of Anchises to his descend- ants, we say— " Ne, pueri, ne tanta animis assuescite bella Neu patriae validas inviscera vertite vires."—- En. II. ( i. Solomon, in the beginning of his reign, evinced his extraordinary wisdom by the decision he gave between the two women who contended for the living child. Each claimed it with equal pertinacity, ( there was no . witness to be called on,) when Solomon ordered the child to be cut in two, and divided between them, pro- perly judging that nature would speak out. She who was not the mother was satisfied, and insisted that his orders should be put into execution ; but the other, to whom the child in truth belonged, could not bear the sight that her infant should be thus butchered, but, to save its life, waived her own right to it in favour even of the hard- hearted impostor. Solomon then exclaimed, in favour of her who interceded for its life, " Give her the child, for she is the real mother." In like manner we may, in imagination, personify Ireland, and conceive that from aloft she is viewing the different people upon her soil. One great party says: " Cultivate peace— kill one another no more— but let us love one another, and become brethren." Another powerful, but much smaller party, shouts: " We shall occasionally continue to sacrifice some lives^- we shall goad and torment, trample upon and insult all our opponents," Ireland, sitting in judgment, must pass this sentence: " The party for peace are my real children ; they venerate their common parent, whose vitals they cannot bear to see torn and destroyed. I am their mother! The other party for bloodshed, I disclaim : they own me not as their common parent: they must be," in the true sense of the word, ILLEGITIMATE : they have none of my blood in their veins, as they delight in my desolation and agony!" Thus, Mr. Editor, would the Genius of Erin address the destroyers of her peace and happiness. Perhaps some animadversions from you may shame them into order, and into something like Christian de- meanour. Tell them that, by their tolly, they rivet their own chains ! Tel! them that blind bigotry and hatred, without cause, and blood thirstiness, are not only anti- Irish, but anti- Christian. Tell them that such conduct produces: misery here, and most assuredly will superin- duce eternal misery hereafter. It is now high time to adopt conduct and measures diametrically opposite to the past manner of acting and living in this land. Every noble and generous feeling demands this change— rea- son, common safety, and the weak laws of man ; butthe immutable Laws of God imperatively call upon us to forgive one another. Wishing you success in all such laudable undertakings, I subscribe myself, Dear Sir, Your obedient servant, W. M'MULLAN. Loughinisland, near Downpatrich, Oct. 19, 1830. [ In reference to the foregoing, we have only space at present to add, that we fear the present generation must pass away before the demon . of party spirit, that unequal laws summoned up, will be banished to its native abode.]— ED. EXAMINER. REPEAL" OF THE UNION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWRY EXAMINER. SIR,— I beg to inform you that, notwithstanding the apparent apathy in some towns in the North of Ireland, the country parishes are preparing to pe- tition for a Repeal of the Union. I send you a copy of one them, which will be extensively sub- scribed. GEORGE ENSOR. Ardress, Oct. 25, 1830. " To the Sj- c. " WE the Subscribers, Episcopalian Protestants, Dis- senters, and Catholics, of the parish of , in the county of , beg humbly to unite our voice with that of our countrymen, and solicit your Honourable House to take into your immediate consideration the Repeal of the Incorporate Union of Great Britain and Ireland. All the evils which had afflicted Ireland have been aggravated by that measure— increased absentees, and less rent returned, in wages, to the working classes— increased taxation, local and general, witlyiiminished funds to meet the charges. If grain has advanced in the market, rents and tithes havededucted more from the farm- er than he gains by its nominal enhancement, while the linen trade, the staple of the country, has ended as a pro- fitable employ, and the necessaries of life, after a dis- tressing year, now approach a famine price. We there- fore repeat our request that your Honourable House will restore to Ireland her Parliament, of which she was spoiled by the most flagitious means for the most atro- cious purposes— being persuaded that any other project to ameliorate or modify our institutions must be illusory, if not pernicious." THE NORTHERN TOURIST.— In our paper of to- day will be seen the advertisement of a new work by Philip Dixon Hardy, Esq., entitled " The Northern Tourist." We regret extremely, that from not having received the work till within a few hours of our time of publication, our notice of it, for the present, must be very brief. It is one of the most beautiful little volumes that has issued from the Irish Press, and reflects great credit on its spirited publishers, Messrs. WM. Curry, jun. & Co., of Dublin. The engrav- ings are of a very superior description, fully equal to some we have seen in the most admired annuals, and the accompanying letter- press, we can, from our own knowledge of a great portion of the scenery des- cribed, pronounce most accurate. No person travel- ling either for business or pleasure in the North of Ireland should be without a copy of it. We shall refer to this interesting volume again, and, by quot- ing a few passages, endeavour to give our readers some idea of its merits. Our friends in Dungannon will perceive, from our advertising columns, that Mr. Henry Speer has been appointed agent to the Manchester Assurance Com- pany, an establishment which has always obtained and merited the confidence of the public. An Inquest was held here on Friday hist, by Isaac Glenny, Esq. on the body of a man named John Lov, who had been found dead on Courtnev- hill, that mor- ning, at an early hour. After the examination of se- veral witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict finding that" the deceased came by his death in consequence of falling into the ditch when in a state of intoxica- tion, and being unable to extricate himself, was suffo- cated." On Sunday last, as a carter, in the employment of Arthur Pollock, Esq., Mountainstown, County of Meath, was on his way from Dublin to Navan, lead- ing a valuable horse under a loaded cart, the carter unfortunately took the wrong side of the road, when, coming in contact with a cart which was going to Dublin, the shaft entered the chest of Mr. Pollock's horse, and killed him on the spot. SPORTING.— The " Down Hunt," will, we un- derstand, meet at Downpatrick, on Monday, the 8th November. The Rev. Mr. Irving was brought to trial on Tues- day se'nnight, by the Scotch Presbytery in London, on a charge of heretical opinions regarding the pecca- bility of Jesus Christ in his human character. On the conclusion of the proceedings, Mr. Irving with- drew himself from the Presbytery. SIR HENRY HARDINGE AND MR. O'CONNELL.— f From the Evening Packet of Saturday.)— Colonel D'Aguiler, has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Evening Packet, in which, after quoting several pas- sages from Mr. O'Connell's speech, on Friday eve- ning last, he says: In consequence of these passages I received the following note from Sir Henry Hardinge. NO. I. Secretary's Lodge, Oct. 23, 1830. Mr DEAR D'ABUILEK— I inclose you the Freeman's Journal, in which you will perceive that Mr. O'Connell has used expressions towards me, which, proceeding from a person who may be supposed to have the claims of a gentleman, if I were to insult him, entitles me, there- fore, to call upon him, first, to ascertain whether he avows those expressions, and, next, whether he is disposed to maintain them, affording me, in such case, the reme- dy which one gentleman has a right to expect from ano- ther. If Mr. O'Connell refuses to give me this satis- faction, it will be for the world to jud^ e how far that individual, who chooses to screen himself from the usual consequences of insulting another, can be justified in making use of intemperate language, which would be grossly offensive proceeding from the lips of any gentle- man. I am, my dear DAguiler, yours verv truly, H. HARDINGE. P. S Mr. O'Connell will probably not be at home at half- past 12 o'clock, and 1, therefore, beg of you to call upon him as early as you can. I shall be at the Castle at one o'clock. Having, in pursuance of the request contained in this note, waited upon Mr. O'Connell at his own house, in Merrion- square, I read the contents of Sir Henry Hardinge's note distinctly to Mr. O'Connell, and pointed out the obnoxious passages in the report of the speech, which Mr. O'Connell then perused.— Mr. O'Connell disavowed the expression, " a chance child of fortune and of war," and then entered into a general conversation on the subject. I requested Mr. O'Connell to put whatever he might have to say in connexion with this particular matter in writing, in order that I might run no chance of misrepresent- ing him in any way, more especially, as I had no al- ternative but to require a disavowal of those expres- sions which were offensive to Sir Henry Hardinge, and which was due from one gentleman to another. Mr. O'Connell then wrote the following note, to which I replied in writing likewise, as will be seen at the foot of it :— NO. II. Mr. O'Connell does not feel himself called on either to avow or disavow any thing attributed to him by the public papers. At the same time, that if any allegation of fact be pointed out to him— attributed to him— which is not true, he will readily either disavow the assertion, if untruly attributed, or contradict and atone in every way possible for the allegation, if he made use of it. Ko man living is more ready than Mr. O'Connell to disavow and atone for any error in point of fact, which he may have fallen into. Mr. O'Connell will not receive anv kind of commu- nication with reference to a duel. He utterly disclaims anyreference to such a mode of proceeding, be the con- sequences of such disclaimer what they may, repeating his readiness to retract and atone for any fact alleged by him not founded in proof. He spoke of Sir Henry Hardinge in his public capa- city, as an instrument of despotism. He did not say one word of him in his private capacity. Asa public man he did speak of Sir Henry as he would of any other man who trampled on the liberties of Irish- men ;— and he must say, that fighting a duel would be a bad way to prove that Sir Henry was right or Mr. O'Conneil wrong. NO. ILL Having received this from Mr. O'Connell's hand, and read it in Mr. O'Connell's presence, it only remains for me to say, that this is not the disavowal of the expres- sions required by Sir Henry Hardinge— and I do there- fore, in that gentleman's name, call upon Mr. O'Con- nell for that satisfaction, for his gross and intemperate language, which is due from one gentleman to another. Mr O'Connell having beard me read this aloud, then said, " refused already"— but added in his own hand, " In addition to the passage I marked as disavowed ( viz. a chance child of fortune and of war), I disavow using the words " hirelipg scribe." GEORGE D'AGUILER. VAN HALEN.— One of his earliest exploits was upon the soil of Spain, when occupied by the French troops during the first invasion under Buonaparte. After being discarded from the household of El Re Pepe ( King Joseph) he presented himself to Mar- shal Suchet as a Spaniard affected to the French cause. The Marshal, confiding in his representa- tions, employed him confidentially on his personal staff, a confidence which the trusty Spaniard reward- ed by issuing counterfeit orders, under the sign- manual of his master, whereby several French garri- sons were betrayed into the hands of their enemy, and massacred. He then took service in the Spanish regulars; but here, after a brief career, he contrived to get suspected by his colleagues, and narrowly es- caped being shot as a traitor. His next appearance in office was in the ranks of the Russian army, in the Caucasian division, of which he held a I. ieut.- Colo- nel's commission. After a few years of this occupa- tion, his new allies suspecting him of foul play, he prudently quitted his employments to avoid the ex- periment of la cravatte a la Russe on his neck. He has subsequently visited New York; and actually emerged from the mechanic occupation of patent bit- maker to the stud of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, to become Generalissimo of his Majes- ty's rebel subjects in Belgium.— Morning Post. FRENCH EMIGRANTS AT ROME— THE POPE.— Rome, 23</ Sept.— The clergy seem to be the only emigrants produced by the late French revolution. They are flocking in crowds to this capital of the Catholic world, and the pilgrimage is so extensive as to have already exhausted the hospitality of the Ro- mans. The Cardinal de Latil, the political, as well as the religious counsellor of Charles X., is, however, an exception. His Eminence is daily expjeted in Rome; and the personages who possess the greatest influence at the pontifical court are disputing for the honour of entertaining him. Father Roothan, the chief of the Jesuits, has prepared the best apart- ments in his college for the French Cardinal. His Eminence, the Cardinal Secretary of State, has placed at his disposal the choice of apartments, either at the palace of the Roman Chancery, or at the Va- tican ; and the Count de la Ferronnavs has offered to relinquish in his favour the palace of the French em- bassy, where M. de Latil was lodged during the two last conclaves. It is thought, however, that his first favours will be bestowed on the College of the Je- suits. The Cardinal Prince de Rohan has lengthen- ed his stay at the College of Fribourg, where the ban and the arriere ban of Jesuitism was convoked after the events of the French revolution. Projects, hostile to France, are at this moment under the con- sideration of this Jesuitical congress, and his Emi- nence the Cardinal Archbishop of Besanfon is ex- pected to bring the result of their deliberations to Rome, thinking, no doubt, that his labours at Fri- bourg will be a strong recommendation for him at the Holy See. • The Cardinal Almoner, Prince de Cro'i, has collected, it is said, several fragments of the Ba- ron Gerard's picture of the coronation of Chwles X., particularly those portions of it which represent the Roman purple of the four Cardinals who assisted at the ceremony, and has sent them to Rome, in the hope that they may excite a crusade against France, as the bloody mantle of Ctesar made the ancient Ro- mans fly to arms to avenge the death of their dictator! — Two days after the Pope was called to the pontifi- cal chair, he went to the Vatican to receive in state the customary homage of the illustrious dignitaries, princes, and nobles then at Rome, In the midst of this imposing ceremony, the Pope heard a violent scuflle and uproar in the anti- chamber, where the Guard of Sobles were stationed,. Promptly asking the cau:. e, and learning that it was a poor Sabine peasant who was obstinately bent upon forcing his way into the presence chamber, his Holiness imme- diately exclaimed, " Ah ! it must be old Frank, my foster- brother. Let him enter !" No sooner had the welcome bidding reached the ears of the poor fellow than he sprung forward, and regardless both of the splendid throng and the Pontiff's superior dignity, threw himself into Pius's arms; each remain- ed locked in the other's embrace of several seconds, blessing and forgive- YOUNG GENTLEMAN, of respectable con' flections, a, id properly qualified, will be taken as an APPRENTICE to the profession of Chemist and Apothecary, by JOHN $ WM.

CANCER CURED, Sores of whatever Bescription- THE Public can no longer remain in doubt of the cure of that truly distressing disease. The very remarkable cures of Cancer, of King's Evil, or of sores of every description, which have been performed by Dr. BROOM, in Belfast and its Vicinity, and through the greater part of Ireland, can be disputed by no person, whose eyes are open to conviction. He is perhaps the only gentleman on earth who has been able to perform the cure of Cancer, without any operation or suffering to the patient. The cure is performed by medicine, which is so very safe, that Patients in the very last stage of the disease, and with the most delicate or broken con- stitution, may be completely cured, and restored to the most perfect state of health and strength. Michael Duffy, son to Andrew Duffy, of Mynaclay- band, near Churchhill, County of Fermanagh, had been affected with a Cancer in his face for upwards of two years. Pie had applied to many of the medical gentle- men, but without relief. When he waited upon Dr. Broom his whole face was affected, his strength was al- most gone, and his eyesight, though not altogether lost, was greatly diminished, and was declining daily, so that in a few days, without proper assistance, he must have been entirely blind. His nose had been the place where the Cancer had seized on first. It was destroyed, and was fiat with the bones of his face, and the hole or open- ing so great, that the finger could easily be thrust down into his mouth, the very bones in the roof of his mouth having been destroyed by this terrible disease ; and, to add to his distress, the disagreeable discharge from the terrifying sores was constantly falling into his mouth, making his state more loathsome. The burning pain from the sores was so great, that sleep seemed to have entirely left this unhappy patient; and as the disease was making very rapid progress, nothing but death, with all his terrors, was expected by this unhappy mortal, in a few days or weeks. In this terrible state, Dr. Broom took him under his care, and to the great astonishment of ail that had ever seen this unhappy patient, Doctor Broom had the honour of performing a complete cure, and he has made the no. se again to grow up and close over, so that the young man can breathe through it, and, at this moment, the face is very little deformed, and the voung man enjoys the completest state of health. This cure was so remarkable, that the young man was examined on oath as to the truth of it, before the Barrister and Sheriff, in the Court of Enniskillen, where it was completely proven, and gave the greatest satisfaction to the many hundreds or thousands who at- tended said Court. I, David Reid, of the Townland of Ballyrobin, Pa- rish of Ballymonev, County of Antrim, do certify, that for the space of fourteen years I had been dis{ ressed with Cancer in my under lip : during that time I had consulted every medical gentleman. Indeed, I might freely declare, that I had consulted every medical gentle- man within my reach, and had taken every medicine which could be recommended to me— but all had failed; and had even submitted to the operation of cutting, and had been cut no less than seven times. I had likewise been burned by the burning plasters fifteen or sixteen times— so that my sufferings would baffle all descrip- tion. But all had failed, and had left me without the least shadow of hope that ever I should receive the least relief in this world ; but being in a medical gentleman's shop a few weeks ago, a pleasant young gentleman ad- dressed me in these words—" Sir, there is only one gentleman who can cure you of Cancer. Dr. Broom is the only gentleman who has found out a cure for that dreadful disease : go to him— he will cure you of can- cer— he is the only gentleman on earth who can cure that disease." 1 need not here state what was my as- tonishment— what was my joy— what was my gratitude to Heaven on hearing such unexpected news. I might say his voice was that of a messenger from Heaven. I hastened to Doctor Broom, and placed myself under his care: but the public will be much astonished when I inform them that I had only been under Dr. Broom's most valuable medicine a few days, when I began to recover. The burning pain began to abate, and the sores began to heal in such a rapid manner, as to astonish all who had knowledge of my extreme suf- ferings; for I have not been more than five or six weeks under Doctor Broom's care, and the cure is already so complete, that the point of the finger would cover the whole of the sore that remains on my face, although what remained of my lip and chin was one continued sore when I began Dr. Broom's medicine. To the truth of what is here stated I declare before pod and the world. Dated at Belfast, this 25th day of June. Dr. Broom's truly valuable medicine has never been known to fail in the cure of a Certain Disease, even where the constitution has been broken down by the dis- ease, or ruined by the improper use of mercury. His medicine will not only remove the disease, but will re- store patients, with the most delicate or broken constitu- tion, to the completest state of health and strength. His medicine has not been known to fail, not even in one case, for these many years. Dr. Broom may be consulted at JS[ or. 10, DonegalU Souare North Belfast. NOTICE.

In announcing the arrival of the present Stock, they do not make use of the too frequent ridiculous mode of puffing, nor do they boast of any superior advantage in the market, which, in reality, no House can possess over another of equal experience and means, save that the Stock now imported was made to orders given when Wool was fully 25 per cent. lower than it can now be obtained for, and which gives them a decided advantage over those who did not avail themselves of the reduced state of the Market at that time.

ACCIDENTS OFFENCES, & c. MOST DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.— Thursday mor- ning, the mail coach from Belfast to Donaghadee, was overset in the latter town, it is said, in con- setjuence of the horses having become lestive, from • oining in contact with a young spirited horse that a groom was breaking, and which he was urging to run alongside thfe mail. By this accident the guard ( Andrew Leith) had his thigh broke, and some of the passengers are injured, but, we believe, not danger- ouslv.— No blame whatever is attributable to either the guard or driver. FIKE IN BELFAST.— On Sunday morning, about fire o'clock, the inhabitants of King- street, College- square, & c. were alarmed by a temporary building in the rear of the Museum now erecting in College- square North, appearing on lire. On account of the com- bustible materials of which it was composed, the flames speedily attained a fearful height; and the sur- rounding tenements were in imminent danger of taking fire. Indeed, the spouts of the dwelling- house of John Wilson, Esq. and of his offices, were in a blaze, before the principal fire was got under. A large assemblage of the most respectable inhabitants of the town instantly used their utmost exertions to extinmrish the burning materials; and it is entirely owiiv to their judicious and active endeavours, that the pile of handsome buildings in that neighbourhood has been preserved. Where all were so serviceable, it may seem invidious to particularize an individual; but we should not be doing justice to Colonel Coul son, were we to omit mentioning his most efficient conduct in directing the proper means to be employed, and personally assisting in extinguishing the fire.— The building which was consumed, contained almost the whole of the carpenter work prepared for the Museum, and also some window sashes, & c. the pro perty of Mr. Johnston, the contractor for the build- ing ; and as the accident must have arisen from the culpable negligence of the watchman employed, the loss will fall very heavily on Mr. Johnston. We are sorry we must again notice the great delay in bringing the water engines to the premises on fire. When tlicv did arrive, they were not required, nor did we see a single bucket of water used by the numerous watchmen who were walking very leisurely about the ( lames. The engine deparment was badly managed the water department was badly managed; and the discipline of the police could not be more misma- naged !!

UNCOMMON AND SINGULAR ESCAPE.—( From a Correspondent.)— On Wednesday last, as some chil- dren were playing on the bank of the mill- race of Mr. Oliver, of Loughaguish, near Carrickmacross, at no great distance from tile water- wheel, one of them, eight years old, unthinkingly standing near the edge, fell in, and was carried down by the rapidity of the stream until his arrival at the cistern, where he was received by the bucket, carried round, and fell out at the tail- race. A person who observed him previous to his falling into the bucket, gave the alarm to the miller, and on his coming out found the child leaning against abank, a few yards from the wheel, in asenseless state; but being immediately exposed to the air, he recovered his senses, and then ordy complained of a headache and a strong propensity to vomiting: but what seems most surprizing in this very miraculous escape, that 110 marks of any wound appeared, nor was any one of his limbs affected. Indeed it seemed a matter of wonder, to all people who were then present, how the limited extent of a bucket could contain him safely ; but upon a closer examination of the nature of his escape, it was found that the wheel was wanting a bucket. This water- wheel is only 20 inches in the bucket, and probably that this part of the wheel ( for- tunately for the child) was next the cistern at his falling in:— this conjecture seems the only reasonable, and agrees with the general opinion of all whom were then present. The child is now walking about as well as usual, and the only injury this accident caused him, was a trilling scrape by a piece of iron the side of his head came against. It is stated in the French papers, that three Eng- lishmen, travelling together, en poste, across the Simplon, were stopped by six men, and robbed of 260 louis d'ors and all their baggage. \ Loss OP THE WHALE SHIPS.— We copied into our last an account given in a provincial paper of the loss of a number of the vessels engaged in the Davis's Straits Fishery; but although by that statement we were made acquainted with the full extent of the dis- aster, the writer in his haste forgot to give us any in- timation of the way in which it was brought about. The subjoined most interesting accounts from the Caledonian Mercury, supply the deficiency:—" Alex- ander Kidd, one of the seamen of the Achilles, who arrived in Dundee a few days ago, gives the follow- ing particulars of the loss of that vessel and several others:— The Achillcs had an unfavourable passage from Britain; but no alarming consequences were an- ticipated so late as the 24th of June. About ten o'- clock that evening she was in safety. Although the wine was blowing strongly from the south- west by south, and with drift and hail, the ice amongst which she was beset remained firm ; but a sudden and vio- lent irruption took place about one o'clock on the following morning, and the Achilles, the Baffin, and Rittler, of Leith, and a French ship, the Ville de Dieppe, which were in company, were rendered com- plete wrecks. The Eliza, Swan, of Montrose, was severely stove. The crews remained by the vessels in the hope of saving their provisions and clothes; but this was found to be impracticable; and, as a last re- source, the Achilles and the Ville de Dieppe were set fire to. I* consequence of this, the after- part of the hold of the French vessel which contained the pro- visions was entered, and a considerable quantity of bread, beef, pork, brandy, and wine, was secured.— The crews of the Achilles and the French vessel were taken on board of the St. Andrew, of Aberdeen, and kindly treated by Captain Ileed. The number of hands on board of the St. Andrew, now amounted to 150; and as the provisions were insufficient for so many, the majority of the shipwrecked crews resolved to proceed to some vessels which were perecived about twelve miles distant. Provisions were- served out to them, and what clothes they had saved . Were put into the boats, which were dragged along the ice. The journey occupied about sixteen or seventeen days ; during which the seamen were subject to great priva- tions by the inclemency of the weathir, and some of the boats were destroyed which contained the few articles they had previously saved. On the 13th or 14th of July, they reached their destination, and were kindly and hospitably received by Capt. Stevenson of the Horn. There was at one time nine boats' crews on board of that vessel; but a number of them were afterwards transferred to others. Extract of a letter from a young gentlemen, who acted as surgeon on boaid one of the whalers :—' The remembrance of every other transaction is lost, when I begin to think of the awful scenes and most disastrous events which have lately occurred. On Friday forenoon the sky was clear, but about two, p. m. it became suddenly overcast, and blew a strong gale from the SSW. ac- companied by thick sleet and snow. This awakened our worst apprehensions, and indeefl it was not long before they were realized. At nearly four o'clock, our dock— sawn with extreme labour, and upon which all our hopes centred— gave way. This was the signal for getting oui ' traps' on the ice. After each had got what belonged to himself in safety on the ice, provisions were hosited up— for, ill the first instance, nothing but self- interest was attended to. The pres- sure of the ice seemed to be going regularly along: it now passed on to several vessels to the eastward of About 300 yards in that direction lay the Reso- lution of Peterhead, the Laurel of Hull, and the Le- titia of Aberdeen, in one dock : the latter vessel, un- able to withstand the tremendous pressure of the ice, was soon upon her beam- ends, and in a short time afterwards her masts went by the board, and she be- came a total wreck. The Princess of Wales, of Aberdeen, was next crushed to pieces; and the iee continuing to press the whole of the night, but in a more gradual manner, many of the vessels were on their beam- ends, but again righted; several were crushed many feet above the ice astern, others a- head. We were lying in dock, yet often did we hear our vessel crack, and at one time having heard a crash, though we were ignorant which of the vessels it was, we simultaneously rushed on the ice; a hollow on our starboard bow, produced by the pressure of the two vessels, was the cause of this. All Saturday the gale continued; but though the ice seemed to be brought up, out of sixteen vessels lying within short spaces of each other, all were more or less damaged, except the Cambrian of Hull, and a Dutch vessel. On Wednesday the 30th of June, a melancholy accident occurred at one of the wrecks, while endeavouring to get out a cable. A man belonging to the Triad, of Kirkaldy, had one of his feet torn off at the ankle.— The leg was afterwards amputated below the knee. This afternoon the resolution was set on fire and burned to the water's edge.' " Four of the crew of the Princess of Wales were lost whilst racking the ship along the ice: and two of the crew of the Leti- tia perished whilst dragging a boat over the ice in search of a ship. It appears that previous to the year 1819, the year in which the ships first began to cross the straits, the average loss was only two or three ships in the season ; but since that year commenced, no fewer than 71 ships have been lost. In 1818, 12 perished, in 1821, 13, and in 1822, 8; but in other years we observe the average has not exceeded two or three; so that the inference with respect to the cross- ing of the straits is hardly borne out.— Preston Pilot. men to their own country. Count Froberg was then at the Russian head- quarters ; and finding his conduct detected, and being indebted .£ 30,000 to Go- vernment, he deserted to the French ; but being af- terwards surrounded in a village by a troop of Cos- sacks, he placed his back to a wall, and, sword in hand, sold his life as dearly as he could— being lite- rally cut to pieces. This singular man had visited every country in the Europe ; from Gibralter to the banks of the frozen ocean— whither he had accompa- nied the present Duke of Orleans— and had traversed all North America. He had an extraordinary facility of acquiring languages ; speaking with the utmost fluency, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Ger- main, French, Latin, and Sclavonian. His amiable manners, and his talents for conversation, his perfect good breeding, and delicacy of tact, rendered him a welcome guest at all the diplomatic tables of Peia.-^ Court Journal.

IRISH MARKETS. NEWRY, TUESDAY, OCTOBEr The Grain Market has been very largely supplied since our last, and sales brisk. Butter in good demand; 1582 firkins have passed the crane, and 1593 were weigh- ed at the Merchants' Stores, from the Kith till the 23d inst. inclusive. BELFAST, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26. Since Wednesday, we have had but a limited supply of Grain.. The farmers are keeping up their Wheat, under the expectation of obtaining higher prices : this observation applies generally to the Counties of Down and Antrim, where little Grain has been offered, tit for milling, throughout the week. The quantity of Barley forward, is tolerably fair, and the quality improving, i he supply of Oats has fallen off very much since Wednesday, which may account for an advance of 3d @ 6d ID1 cwt. demand ; with a moderate" sup^ tTaT ® ^ vl^& f?* 1 price of Butter to- day is, 92s and hWfnol ixKpa?? at this rate.

Smithfield on Thursday was well sup- plied with cattle, the demand very brisk, particularly so for ship- ment of live stock to the English markets; for Manchester they purchased a lighter description of cattle than they have hereto- fore been in the habit of doing, prices were consequently fully maintained, if not higher than that day week. The Provision Houses did not get much Slaughter Beef, as the prices they can afford to give, do not meet the views of the Graziers. They are as follows :— Cows, 4% to 5 cwt. 22s ( a) 23s ty do.; do. to 20s to 21s do.; do. 3% to 4, 18s @ lite W do. In Cork, it ap- pears, Beef is to be had on better terms, as some of the orders in- tended for this market are going there. In Pork nothing done as yet. Butter in brisk demand, at an advance of fully 4s cwt. oa last week's prices, 90s ^ cwt. has been freely paid, and, in some instances, 2s over. There was a small supply of Bacon, but the demand was good, and at an advance of full 2s ty1 cwt. on our lost prices. In Hams there was also an advance, but in Pigs' Cheeks and Bladdered Lard there was a reduction. NEWRY PRICES CURRENT, October 2G, 1830. FOREIGN GOODS. LOUIS- PHILIPPE I. AND THE COMTE DE MONT- JOYE.— The present King of the French, during ' his travels in Scandinavia, arrived at Tronyem, under the name of Mdller, while the Comte de Montjoye, by whom he was accompanied, assumed that of Froberg. When they afterwards visited Stockholm, they ad- ressed a letter to the General Commandant at Tron- dyem, acknowledged their real name and rank; and it was immediately recollected, that one evening, at the supper of a private entertainment, a . warm advocate of the French Republicans had observed to the Prince incognito, " Can there be a greater miscreant than the Duke of Orleans?" and receiving no reply from the Due de Chartres, had persisted " Do you not think him a rascal ?" " It may be so !" replied the Prince in a tremulous tone of voice, which was noti- ced by all present, who observed that he sighed deeply ; but til) his real name was known, the cause of his distress remained a mystery. This treat is re- counted in the Travels of Dr. Clarke. In the Tra- vels of Dr. Adam Neale, in Germany, Poland, and Turkey, the fate of Mountjoye is authentically de- tailed. This accomplished man passed himself upon the British Government as the German Count Fro- berg ; and, under that title, had the address to pro- cure himself the appointment of Colonel to a regi- ment, which he was to raise in the Albanian and Christian provinces of Turkey. For this purpose he had employed crimps at Venice, Trieste, Galetz, and various places near the Turkish frontier; while he himself resided at Constantinople, and directed their manoeuvres. The most unprincipled deceipt and false- hood were employed to raise recruits; many of whom were sent to him at Constantinople, there transferred to the Prince's islands; and from time to time forwarded to their head- quarters at Malta.— Finding themselves deceived, the regiments mutinied, murdered some of their officers, and blew up one of the Maltese forts. A court martial was assembled afterwards at Sicily, by Sir John Moore, to investi- gate the grievances complained of by the survivors; when it appeared in evidence, that most of thfe pri- vates were young men of good families in their own country, who had been enticed to enter as ensigns and captains; and who, on arriving at Malta, had been forced to do duty as privates. Sir John Moore disbanded the regiment, and sent back the 8. d. s. d. ASHES, POT New- York, . .. per cwt. oo 0 @ 00 0 — Montreal, » 4 0 .— 0 0 BRANDY, Cog. L.
