NATIONAL UNION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. A numerous Meeting of tlio members of this Union took place on Saturday, at tlio Institution, Theobald’* Rond. On the platform were Mr. Cobbott, Sir John Mil lev Doyle, and several other Ir.rli Members. Mr. SCALES was called to tho Chair at one o’clock. He announced to tho meeting that Mr. O'Connell was ex (meled in u few minutes. Mr. O’CONNELL, wlm was rathor behind his time, begged to delay a litilo longer tho regular march of tho day’s proceeding*, until ho had apol ogized for his want of exactness. The fact was, that his coachman had the misfortune of being an Irishman, and was consequently liable to strange hulls; the present ono of liis coachman was rather a strange mio—it seemed done through malice pre pense—for when he [.Mr. O'Connell] expected to rind himself in Red Lion-square, or thereabout*, ho ; found himself in Siiiilhfield. Ilis coachman being j accustomed to drive him to tlio groat cattle market ot St. Stephen’s, very naturally supposed that his business to -day lay in tlio c ittlo-niarkoi of tho East, j and drove him thither accordingly, [laughter.] The Cl! Al RM AN expressed Ins some of the lion- i or that had been conferred upon him by choosing ' him their President, a* it wore, for the present sit. ting. He had tho pleasure ot mooting our friend O’Cuiinell bolero now; ho had met him in Ireland when he was agitating Oallmlic Emancipation, and from what ho saw of him there ho wasauro that lie was now come among them to agitate on as just grounds a* ho did then. Success would attend his present agitation; he was appealing from ono tribu nal to another—lie was appealing from the Repre sentatives of tlio people to tlio people themselves, lie was socking assistance from the fountain-head of all—from tlio people. It would, however, he belter to allow the great advocate of his country’s liberties to plead for himself; tho world knaw how ably he could do so. Mr. CARPEN PER: It would ho highly pre sumptuous and indecorous in him to detain the mooting for a single instant. However, he was sure that there wax not a heart present that did not painfully palpitate for tho insulted and lace rated people of Ireland; there was not a heart pre sent that did not hum with indignation ul tlio a t roc ions wrong done to Ireland in that measure which is miscalled the Irish Reform Hill. Though he li ut much to say on this most interesting sub ject, he would for tlio present refrain, and cede the place to the Great Representative of tho Irish people [cheers.] Mr. C. then moved tlie first re solution, which was, that gross injustice had been done to Ireland, and that in consideration of tho noble conduct of the majority of her mouthers, no measure an iota short of that which was given to England,should he given to Ireland. Mr. ROGERS said that it was a matter of duty with him to second this Resolution, and for this reason, that at 11 time when our hopes mid fears were nearly balanced on the subject of Reform, the Political Unions wero aware of what consequence tho Irish Members were. Ile moved then that they would waive their claims until the English Bill had passed, and they had the patriotism to put in practic* tho suggestions of his Resolution. On seeing^ such disinterested conduct then on the part of the Irish Members, lie had come to a men tal determination not to neglect any opportunity of aiding Ireland to place herself on tho same footing with England. Mr. O’CONNELL then presented himself, and was received with great cheering. Ho said his friend tho Alderman, (who, l>y tho bye, was the people’s Alderman, and not a hole-and-corner one) was mistaken when lie staled that he (Mr. O’Con nell) was seeking Catholic emancipation, when the Alderman was at Waterford. It was not Catholic Emancipation, but it was universal religious free dom and liberty of conscience that ho was seeking, [cheers;] and as a proof that that really was the motive of tho Catholics, he thanked ti d that be fore they succeeded for themselves they were for tunate enough to In; able to establish the Protestant Dissenters in their long withheld rights, [appiausc.] He would now tell them what ho had come among them for:—lie had come among them in the first place, to rejoice with them: the English Reform Bill was law: 112 Swiss had been turned out of tho House of Commons [a laugh;] and they would now bo able to follow an honest livelihood, if their ha I'I'f would allow ihem to do so; though bn was j afraid .'ml they hid so long l.»cit dipping Ilnur J b inds io tV pockets of the pi nl. .1.. that was almost impossible [cheers md i.’or-J Kenner!j. . is iu hi md < Md .S trum had sen' as many innutbors to Parliament as London; BIctoliiii; and Midhurst | had s* it. i.s many as WYstmim • . and Southwark, long had these things been borm , ::i ; would , tell the English people that—but that they have of lato most gloriously redeemed their character—he would cry shame on them for having been patient so long. He begged, however, to do full justice to the English nation, which, through every page of its history, had shown its magnanimity. He had not forgotten th^lreds «f Englishmen at Crossy, Poictiers, anil Agincourt, when they had no foreign allies, no assistant Bluchers to aid them in their victories; ho had not forgotten how they had freed thumsolvuu from the despotism of insolent Kings, and the tyranny of Iron Barons; he had not forgot ten that oue of those Kings hud dared to lift his hand against the people, and that the people, in ro. ply, had rolled tho head above those bauds all reek ing in the dust; lie bail not forgotten that another of ihoso Kings had been dismissed from the coun try for attempting to meddle with the consciences of the nation, and had spent the remainder of his life on tho continent [cheers.] But though he re membered all these tilings to the praise of tlm Eng lish nation, it. could not bo denied that John Bull had occasionally allowed himself to he swindled [laughter mid applause.] Tho Whigs had been ono of those roguish cabals from which the pco-1 pie had suffered [hear, hear!]—they had been so ! good as to bestow a National Debt ami Septennial Parliaments on England, and all the horrors of a Penal Code on Ireland, (hear, hear!]—Thu lories had done thoir share; they had carried on an exten sive war, and a system of bribery, to the extent of carrying it homo almost to every man’s pocket, until at length tho nation positively had no more to give. But, thank Cod, Reform had at length I arrived; and only lei it be carried into effect in the spirit in which it was generated, a cheap Govern ment and tree institutions, must bo the inevitable consequence [continued clirers.] And by whom had this reform been resisted? By trading Lords, whoso nrlic'cs of commerce was rotten boroughs, and sanctified hypocrites (their nominees,) who, while their eyes were turned heavenward, were slyly diving their fingers deeper and deeper into the pockets ot the nation [laughter and cheers.] His ow n principle was, that every man in tho State might to h ive a volo, unless tainted with crime, or blemished with insanity [cheers;] but still he was quito ready to accept the English Reform Bill. be cause he could perceive that the Constitution was like the oak of tho forest—tho growth of centu ries; and that there was nothing that required n hurried traverse from one extremity to the other. Mr. Hiring, However, was dreadfully afraid (though he was not) of this Bill; and he had’actu .■i:\ uuronuctui a mcirnre to prevent the people returning swindler* to Parliament. ‘As long as 'he Lords returned the Mnmbc.i, thcro was Ho danger of their being swindlers.’ quoth Mr. Daring; [ t laugh;]but in hi* ( Mr (VGonuelfs) opinion, there j was a much greater probability of a Lord i returning a svvindcr than tho people; for who i so fit as a swindler to do the dirty work of a i Lord' while the object of the nation would be to choose an honest, man; (cheers.) This part of the question reminded him of a Scotch Member who had sat in the House for forty years, and who used to say, that though many of the speeches which he had heard had altered his opinion, not one of them had been able to alter his vote; (laughter.) Reform would make strange alterations. It would make the Church a working Church; [cheers]_it would make tho law a little more honest; (cheers) —and it would in time restore to the people their former privilege of electing Justices of tho Peace; [cheers ] Yes, tic rejoiced that the people of this country Mould soon ho enabled to choose repre sentatives that. would look into the Augean Stable of the law. You have abolished lotteries, yet ad. venturers had some chance there, but in tho law tho speculator may he sure of drawing a never failing blank. There was one groat desideratum that every one who had the people's welfare at heart should endeavor to obtain: namely, that the right of electing magistrate* should ho veste’d in the people. You recollect that wo had a discussion s night or two sgo in the House of Commons about Laing. If the jieoplo had the power of electing Justices of the Peace, no such men as he would obtain the power of domineering over the poor. The people would elect Magistrates who would distribute justice with even hand, without regarding whether the persons brought before, them bad on a dirty coat or a clean one. It often hep. pencil (but the. individual n ho was oxtcrnnllv ",,,*rU(,'|V foul. Tli® office of tin, 1 Magistrate, .limit.I i>« renewed trioniully. And ; nmv ho canto to the question—Why wu. not h similar Bill given to Ireland? Dearly us ho loved Ireland, ho did not ask more for that country than lio did for Hi,gland; but Burely ho had a right to ask lor as much (clu-crs]. Ono of tho great argu. ment used against admitting the Catholics in IV,r- j I lament was that the Papists wore addicted to dcs. ! pot ism [:, laugh:] lie was proud to say, that there woro now ten Catholic Members for Ireland in tho House; and lie would «sk that Meeting had any one of those ten ever given a dishonest vote' [cheers.] But the lact was, that those who opposed tho Catholics know that unless thev hood winked John Bull they had no change of car-vine their point; and the Meeting might rely upon it. I ■ •at it was not tho despotism of tho Papists that thesa Conservatives were bo much afraid of, aa that the Catholics might teach tho Protestants to talk a little about the necessity of paying Church men fordoing nothing (cheers]-These ovor-relurt ouh gentlemen had nu eye behind them, with which they were looking at the 70J.OOO groen acres Which they say belonged to the Church, but which lie said belonged to thy people (cheors]. This he would boldly sav, that no Administration had ever behaved so ill to Ireland as this Whig Administra tion (hear, hear!], l.ord Anglesoa was tho Lord Lieutenant! Now, in the first place, he hated all mihiury commanders—even tlm virtues of Napo. Jeon had been utterly absorbed and swamped by Ins military power. But Lord Anglcsca, it, pro. Kontinga petition from Dublin, in November, 1830. against a proclamation issued by the Duke of Nor*, tliumburland, wrote w ord to tho Secretary of thv Society from which it came, that no proclamations against public meetings should ever ho issued by bin,, if he were Lord Lieutenant. Tw o months alter ho became Lord Lieutenant, ono of his I lirst acts was to issuo a similar proclamation [hear, hear.] Another of the acts of the ; present Government was to propose a Bill for putting do\vu all processions in Ireland; hut this should not be done will, impunity while ho held a scat in 1 arlinmcnt. Another of their acts was, on llio appointment of twonty-one Btipcndary Mngis. trates, lo take cspeciul care to omit all Catholics whatever. He repealed, ho had a right lo claim lor Ireland a similar Bill of Reform. It was a so. lenin duly even; ho was, ns it were, an Irish High lander; lie was bon, on the brink of a roaring mountain torrent, in the sight of the mighty At lantic; tho breezo that blew over that vast ocean w aiicci 10 iinxi llio fragrance of American liberty. : I hut breeze refreshed him during his juvenile sports | or early studies. In his early youth, among tho i rocks of his native Kerry, liw vowed elernu! de ; votinn, meorruptiblo fidelity to Ireland. No one j could tell how deeply lie loved that gay bit oppress. I ed people, upon whose hospitable threshold tho I run ot charity was forever shining! Coull he then, with all llio.io recollections, with all this love for ; Ireland, demand less for her than that vhich he j had assisted in ohluiuing for Kuglund? I’lto lion, j and learned gentleman then went into a listory of the prosecution instituted against him for disobey ing the proclamation of the Lord Lieuteiant; and expressed his determination to disobey e’cry such proclamation that the Covurnmont sliouh venture to iss ie. lie must repeat over and over a'ain that he was tho best abused man alive. The Whigs had in their pay in Ireland, live newspapers that made their fortune by calumniating and libelling him. Ho had hut one protection from their caliiut nios—that was his consistency and character. I'rom every new attack hearo.se more innocent tian ever. The more ho was libelled tho hotter. He ruliod up on his actions; when did he ever shrink from coin ing forwurd ? Tile Protestant Vaudois, aid the do graded negro, will bo witnesses of his zeul for man kind. But a short timo back there was a special commission of Maryborough, for the purpose of try ing sonic poor Catholics. On every former occa sion the jury was composed of one half of Catholics and the remainder Protestants—whereat on this, three Catholics only wore placed on the ptnel; one was sick, another absent, and the third they struck ofl [shame!] 1 hroughoiit tho whole admisistration ol tho affairs of Ireland,a moat unjust |vefcrenee was given to the enemies of the people. There were few in this meeting that had not hoard of Tom Steele, that excellent, that ctherinl fellow, whoso time was now spent in visiiing and aiding these who were laboring under attacks of cholera* >Va|l, this iioncst fellow,Steele, was so indignant ait Whig shuf fling, that he wrote up publicly in Bbblinj “Angle- j ney. tho liar.’ I Ins iie must confess, was not lit«. and he should be sorry to be guilt v ofsuch . . uess towards that pride of modern chivalrj7*\ soy [laughter.] The Wbin ttiuiQiv imitating t’>m -ir.eie, mr uiey arc ill ail pi icos post.t-.g .,t»- • \\ ,.|. : fington. the liar.” But look to the iron • *(1 .. are putting in ntfico—look to »;je rhiwf- j,' OT ‘ the exchequer—look to—but the fact is, ih»k Xu ries fill yet all the places in Ireland. If there was any thing that distinguishes tho Whigs, it wan their continual system of packing juries. Nothing was more horrible. Who did not feel disgust at the idea of aloaded die? Was not the packing of juries a thousand times worse than tho loaded die? The oonduct of tho Whigs to wards the Orangemen was consistent with overy other part of their behavior; they found the Orange men 17 thousand strong, but they soon increased them to 32,000, furnishing them besides with arms! and yet Stanley came forward tho night before last to make, an attempt at putting down the Orangemen and all professions with banners. Gentlemen do you yet understand tho Whigs? I think you arc begin, ningtodoso. lie should support the Orangemen, if jiersnc ited by the Whigs, and should tako good care to put an end to playing us off against one anothor. Why did lie mention this but to show that if the Irish Members consulted only their wrongs, if they consulted their sense of indignation, if they con. suited their outraged and insulted feelings, why they would have refused to aid the Reformer* of England, till they had made terms for their own countrymen [hear!] But they did not act thus [cheers.] They claimed no merit for tho course they took. 'I ho liberty, the happiness, tho free, (loin of England was in their hands, and they would liavo been the basest of slaves had they not raised their voices for hor emancipation [applause.] When the first Bill was brought in, there was a majority of English, Welsh, and Scotch Members against tho Hill, yet the second reading was car ried—and why? There was a majority of Irish .Members in its favor, which counterbalanced the opposing majorities of tho other countries. When the Ministry was compelled to resort to a new election, how did tho Irish peoplo net? There were eighteen eloso Boroughs in Ireland; seven more were under the influence of pounds, shillings, and pence; so that the Irish people had the choico of seventy.five Members only; and out of those seventy-five they returned sixty.eight thorough Reformers; fifty or sixty of them attended night aller night, month after month, titan equal expense i of lime and health; they listened patiently to tho sarcastic ingenuity of ('rocker, the legal chicanery j ol Siigdcn, the bollioratiqn of Wetheroll;—night I after night did they hear it. nil; they voted for the people of England, and their votes ensured their triumph [great cheering ] Ho wanted to restore the forty-shilling freeholders, who wore deprived j of their rights in 162!). There wns a class of for ty.shilling freeholders in Ireland unknown to Eng. land—men who rented farms at rack-rents of fif. ly *>r sixty pounds per annum, but who, l»y swear ing lo a profit of forty shillings, became voters.— Sneli freeholders would necessarily bn supposed to be under tho influence of llmir landlords. Yet, from tlm year 1825, tlm exertions made by these men worn prodigious; they did not give one disho nest. vole, though their families were starving around them, and entirely at tlm mercy of their landlords. If it whs attempted to ho asserted that political ho nesty could not exist without soinn degree of wealth, he would proudly point to the forty-shilling free, holders of Ireland as a proof that political honesty Could flourish in the midst of tho most extreme po verty. He wished to restore the forty.shilling free, holdi :rs on leases for lives, renewable forever. By the first, he would scouro a class of voters indepena. cnl of their landlords; by tho second, ho would sti mulito the landlords to grant perpetual tenures of • hat kind to their tenants. He had been refused both, lie should try again. He would never he satisfied until he succeeded—[cheers.] He pursued religious liberty when only five or six men out of entire Ireland would assist. We persevered for 25 years against, the most powerful opponents; ami now behold the glorious result—[applause.] There were 216,000 voters for Ireland prior to the Wel lington Bill—now thoro wero only 25,000; and that out of a population of 8,000,0 '0—[hoar!] In Bngland, one man out of every eight men would have a vote; in Ireland, not one out of 200. Was that right? [cries of no, no!] Tlm principal for tresses of independence in Ireland were the towns; their inhabitants wero independent of the landlords. Indeed, the landlords wero generally on tho loss aide of the tradesmen's hooks—la laugh.] These independent men were hitherto entitle*? to vote for • he counties an well as the towns. It. was they w!mgave vitality to the counties; !ii« friend, the Member lor (.'allow, and hiitifttlf, belli owed limit election to tlioso men. Ilut they were now cut out uf the counties and thrown into tho boroughs, which would not oil an average have above 200 electors each—[shamcl] A good sample of tho effects of this Hill wu to !>o found in the borough of Dun gurvun, which had 800 voters and would now be reduced to 210, and those under tho influence of the Duko of Devonshire. The same observation applied to the borough of Yougnl, and the same to that ot Hundon, which last town was formerly divi. ded between tho Duko of Devonshire and Lord It.union, and was now thrown cnlirly into the hands of the latter. Tho Duke of Dcvonshiro onto, the Duko of Denvoshire twice, tho Duko of Devonshire three times—[a laugh.] He did not wish to tarnish the honors of Ijords Grey, Russell, or Althorp; but lie wished them to know those Whigs, [cheers.] It was not the Reform Hill thnt would give them all, but t he carrying into effect, [loud cheers.] Ho called on the jieople of England to beware of the Whigs. He hud tauntd Lord J. Russell that this Hill wus a loft.handed Reform. The loft hand was nearest the heart, &. Eng. land was nearest the heart of tho Nuhlc Lord. Hut if ho refused to grant Ireland one essential act of just ice he (.Mr. O’Connell) would apjicul to tho |>eoplv of Engluiid [loud cheers]. Much of what he wus then sr.ying would he spread abroad upon the wings of an onliglitcnod and liberal Press [applause]. Much merit was duo to the Press for what it had already done [hear, hear!]. Tho interests of England do |»eitdcd in a great degree upon the emancipation of Ireland; and if Ireland wore to be made one vast close borough, he asked, would not tho exertions of the 500 honest Members for England, he to n great extent neutralized by the votes of tho Mem. hers for Ireland? A foul conspiracy has been car ried on by tlioso falsehearted Whigs; but it wus not merely for tho purpose of degrading Ireland —no; they had tasted the sweets of oflico, and they wanted a troop of mercenary Swiss Irish to support them in their places.—The Hon. Member then proceeded to denounce the giving an additional Member to the College of Dublin, where there wero only 80 voters, to winch ninety were now added, making a total of ono hundred and seventy elect, ors while so many plnccs, with a population of many thousands, wero without ono Member to support' their interests; and after remarking on tho circumstances of Ministers dissolving Government in consoqucncc of the success ofGon. Gascoyne's amendment, and then adopting it them, selves, lie said, the reason was, for the sake of con miming mo prejudices of wh.it arc falsely called tlio upper classes, ami to prevent the claims of Ire land lor a great number of members. IIo would not detain them with any details on this point. If Ireland paid only one-tenth of tho revenue sho would be entitled to 176 Members, but alic paid one fifth. On tliia point, however, he was not so mix ious; for could lio but 6co the 1'urlinmcnl filled bv honest Englishmen, he should feel satisfied thul the interests of Ireland would not be neglected. lie then commented on the impropriety of limiting the franchise to a man who could swear to a profit of £10. Why a man would soarcoly cultivate land unless it would yield him a profit; and as a mero payment of 10 pounds rent was not sufficient, as they made him prove not morely that it was worth £10. to him, but that ho could get a responsible tenant who would pay £10. moro than he, it might nominally be a £10., but it was in roality a £20. franchise. Tho inconvenience resulting from tho plan of registration was very great; tho voter was required io give 20 days notice, and to attend at tho Quarter Sessions, frequently at a considera ble distance—in Kerry it might ho over forty miles —and was frequently obliged to remain seven days. IIo had to prove his leuso also, just as if he was engaged in an action of ejectment; and it there, should happen to be any mistake in the stamp, forty years possession would not pre vent his being turned out by the landlord, whose agent w«h always present on the watch. In tho county of Eouth, when the voters went up to vote for Mr. Shiel, tho landlord’s ngent sat upon the Bench, looked into tho covenants, and examined tho tenants upon oath, whether they hud broken any of them or not; and sonio of these voters being thus compelled to give evidence against them selves, wore stripped of their property by the unfecl. ing landlord [shame!]. Was it not disgraceful that such a system of inquisition into the poor man’s title should bo allowed to exist? In France, landed property sold higher than in England, on nccount of the general register which is there established, and every man’s title so open to inspection. In England, the landowners object to a general regis try us to , tmpiisitnrial in its nature—aye! too inquisitorial lor th* rich man; hut the poor man is <.ompoiw<i 10 pr iiuro tho title to his little j all^to the very men who are eager to snatch j , ~A- il'oii’. h*s grasp. It w as almost impossible t ovorcomo the^Ti'S/yiKifs which wore thus thrown | in the way of tho voter—niA.o£. '*10 hundred and fifty persona who had conic up to rhgi&pr, ho had I known only three eucceod. In Ms own coiintT^T wliich contained 240,000 inhabitants, there wore only 178 voters of that class—ought such a system to continue? [no, no!] But by tho addition of part of tho county to the town of Traleef 76 of tlioso voters were cutoff, and only 99 remained; and after this could they blame him for taunting my Lord Althorp &, my Lord Russell? What did he care for any individual? he rested on the support of the people.The Whigs were disappointed—they did not expect so liberal a Reform Bill would be carried for Eiighind-they did not wish it; they thought it would have bean cut down, and they were determined not to commit tho same fault. They were afraid lest, if this made Ireland as free as England, they would not be ablo to keep up tho tilhos and the Church cesses there; and they foared lest tho West wind should spread its infection to England, and tho English people begin to think that the farmer might as well cat the tenth sheaf himself, as give it to a man who neither sowed nor reaped. It was singu. lar that this policy- was by no niouns new, for they were told by Tacitus, that at the time oftho Ko. man conquest, that Agricola assembled forces for the purpose of conquering Ireland, alleging ns a reason, not merely the fertility of the soil, and the superiority of its harbors for tho purposes of coin, merco, but the great reason after all was that not beholding Ireland free, they should remain content with their own situation, “si libcrtas n conspectu toleralur;” and the very same motive now influenc. ed the conduct of Ministers. And how did Paddy act? Did ho disobey tho law? No. “Paddy,” says the Parson, “you owe me 1/. 17s. fid.” “And what may it he for, your Riverince?” says Pat [laughter.] “Tithes! Paddy, Tithes.” “Arrah! thin, I suppose your Riverince gavo me somo value foronint 1 was born, for divil a bit have I ever seen since [roars of laughter.] But your Riverince I j "Uppoae, has law for it.—Bless the law! your i Donor, and sure and I wouldn’t be after going to dis. i obey it, but plasc your Riverince, I have no money” I great ^ laughter.] “Ah, Pat, but you’ve a cow there.” “Yes, your Rivninee, that’s tho now that gives food to Nory and the 14 childoi.” “Well, Paddy, then I must distrain that cow.” “If.your honor has law Tor it, to be suro you will.” Well, whutdoes Paddy do? lie stamps the won! "Tithes” upon her side, and the Parson can’t find a soul to take the cow. .So ho gets a regiment and a half, by way of brokers [much laughter,] fourteen or fifteen companies, with those amiable young gentle, men their officers nt their head, who march sc. vcnlecn or eighteen miles across the Bog of Al. Icii to take this cow; they bring the cow to Carlow; when they get. there, they find a great crowd as. so mined, the Parson rubs his hands with glco._ "Plenty of customers for tho cow,” quoth lie to himself. Tho cow is put up at X2—no bid dor; XI—no bidder; 10s.—5*.—fid 1 Jd. [Cheers] not a soul will bid, and back goes the cow to Nory and tho fourtocn childer [continued cheers.) But the Irish Parsons, poor fellows, must not lose their Tyihes, so they apply to the English I’arlin. meiit for XtiO.OOO; and when they find they can’t get Dio cow from Paddy, they make a milch cow of John Bull [hear, hoar, hoar!] Let them look nt the history of tho Whigs. Lot them resolve not to lie humbugged, and return to Parliament men who wi;l take equal care of John Bull’s purse and person as his friends in Ireland tako care of Paddy Bull’s cow. Ho lmd shown them the most import, ant features of variation between tho t wo Bills; ho hud shown thorn tho effect of the franchise on the towns and on the counties. lie had shown them the affect of the system of registry on the XIO. voters, of whom, in tho county of Donegal, con taming 330,000 inhabitants, there wore riot more than 66 registered, and ho could not think of do taming them lorger upon those points. It. would, in deed, bo an insult to sensible and rational men to do ho. Ho trusted not to the gratitude hut to the genero. ity of tho English people; and to that generosity he was sure lie should not npeal in vain. But if the English people did not assist them, they would ns. si*t themselves; they would not, likn the clown in /Esop’s Fables, do nothing but pray to Hercules but whip the horse, pot their shoulders to the wheel, and by their own efforts extricate themselves [cheers].

We do not ourselves, sco how it is possi. bio to ascertain with accuracy tlie number of those who die by cholera; the physicians, in tho extraor dinary pressure of their duties, though thoy may givo tho number of cases correctly, cannot bo al ways accurate in that of tho deaths. Besides, persons in obscure situations are sometimos attack ed in the middle of tho night and din before morn mgt while others put oft sending for a physician until it is too late, anu his services arc disnonsod with. 1 It is certainly not tho wish of the Board of Health to conceal any pnrt of tho truth, however I alarming it may be.
