      We Tegret to say- that a fine young woman named Mary Gabble , had her leg broken ; while many received severe contusions , sprains , andiractnres ? and also to add that Mr .

      The circumstance has caused more excitement in Trome than we remember to bare existed upon any 3 > re-rion 3 occasion , In consequence of the masters and liberal Dissenters laving refksed the Chartists i&enseof any * f their buildings , for the purpose of their own meetings , while those mouthing liberals , not a month since , oBtstripped the most violent Oaftist in violence , when their aid was conrted by the JLeagnera « nd .

There is no -doubt-that-the discovery , and the calamity which ¦ his a consequence , of the Slfiberality of the middle classes , will hare a contrary effect to that which by

      -the exercise of their petty power they had anticipated- The people witnessed the sneers and . jeers of their liberal friend 3 upon the announcement of therumoHT that ran through the town , like lightnfflg , that Feargn 3 CPConnor was killed . Mr .

"This announcement was received with lond cheers , and the Gom--znittee forgetting the ^ ast danger , in the anticipated return of Mr . O ' Connor , set to work immediately

      to make arrangements for giving ifffeet to the meeting of Monday next , -which is to Take place at ax o ' clock in the eTcning . The liberals i&ve already Tecerred a taste of that retribntion which the Chartist body hare resolved npon taking . . They have spent a a portion of their time in going about in a hopeless findeavonr to conciliate the wonnded .

      IBISH DISTURBANCES . — IMPOBTANT COHRESPOKDENCE . CFrom ihe Freeman ' s Journal . ) _

      Dublin , July 10 lb , 1943 . MtLoed , —At ihe present crisis I deem it the bonnden duty of every lover of the peace , happiness , and prosperity of their country , to furnish those who hare the power to make laws with any facts which they may consider essential , to the end ] that tho 3 e laws may beasjastand as equitable as human wisdom can devise . i It appears , by the published Teport of the debate on the Irish Arms' Bill , that your Lordship has stated" 1 st . That murders haYeheen committed in Ireland with greater impunity than in any other country in the world . '

      U 2 ndly . That there is more difficulty in bringing the guilty parties in Ireland to justice than there is in any other country in the world . j M 3 rdly . That the crime of robbery of Sre arms is unknown in England or in any other country except Ireland . And with a view to remedy those acknowledged evils you have introduced the Irish Arms ' BilL" « 'Now , my Lord , I know a good deal about Ireland . I hare been frequently through nearly every part of it ; and although I am aware that it may , fora time ,

      make me V « y unpopular , yet , justiee^—strict jnstice , demands that I should not only confirm your Lordship ' s- statement , but must add that I have always looked upon the meddling of the Irish Catholic priesthood in matters , I may say , of a strictly tem ) x > ral nature , to have been exceedingly mischievous , though I believe well-intentioned . ' The opposition -which the Irish Arms * Bill bas received , and is still likely to receive , in its progress through the House of Commons , will afford me sufficient time to supply your Lordship with some important facts which you have omitted , and which I hope you will lay before Parliament . I have the honour to ; be , my Lord ,

      Tour Xtordsnip ' s most obedient servant , Patbick O'Bjsgixs . To the Right Honourable Lord Eliot , House of Commons , London . Irish Office , July 12 , 1843 . Sib—I have to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your communication of the 10 th inst . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , Eliot . Patrick O'Higgins , Esq ., Dublin . " My Lobd—I have been duly honoured by your lordship ' s letter acknowledging the receipt of my communication of the 10 th inst . :

      I shall now , in fulfilment of the promise which I made in that communication , supply your Lordship wiih a few important facts which yon omitted to state when yon brought forward the Irish Arms ' Bill in the House of Commons . la doing so I shall take the liberty to say that in my humble opinion it is the imperative duty of any one who may occupy the high and onerous position which your Lordship occupies , armed esr-oifieio with the power to make laws , to have those laws based upon truth , upon justice , and upon equity ; to the end that the whole community , that is to say , the well disposed , may admit their jnstice , obey them cheerfully , and respect

      and honour theauthora of them . But , my Lord , a willing obedience to the laws or respect for Jawmakers cannot be expected ; from a people while they are under the i mpression that those laws are founded upon a partial statement of a case , in order to justify their enactment . The fullest , most rigid , and impartial inquiry shonld be instituted prior to the introduction of a bill such as the Arms' Bill . And I hope that I shall convince your Lordship that a Parliamentary inquiry similar to that to which 1 have partially alluded is absolutely necessary as a matter of common justice , as a preliminary step to the introduction of the Irish Arms' Bill , or of any other bill of a similar tendfinp . v .

      My Lord , you have stated , and yonr Lordship ' s statement has gone far and wide : — 44 1 st , That the crime of robbery of Sre ann 3 is unknown in England , or in auy other country except in Ireland . " 2 nd . That there are mare murders committed in Ireland , and with greater impunity , than in any other country in the world . " 3 rd . That there is more difficulty in bringing the gniliy parties in Ireland to jastice than there is in any other country . " . ¦

      Now , xay Lord , I believe these three propositions to be flironmstantiaJIy true . But yonr lordship omitted altogether to state the cause of those disgraceful murders ; who were the parties murdered , and by whom , and wider what pretence . Surely , my Lord , a great statesman , undertaking to legislate fur nine millions of people , should have stated : the whole case , and should not have relied upon vague loose , and indefinite accusation against a whole nation , as a jnsiifieation oi a harsh , partial , and arbitrary law . .

      1 st . With respect to the < rime of robbery of firearms in Ireland—a crime which your Lordship sajs , and says truly , is unknown in England or any other conn try—it is right to trace the cause tojtlKfountain head . Why , then , is this crime unknown in England 1 Beeanse a cherished minority oft the people of England are not empowered by penal statutes to sally forth and rob the hated , persecuted , and calumniated majority of their fire-arms . It such were the case ib England , which is bnt too true

      with respect to Ireland , those who under the colour of law were robbed cf their fire-arm 3 and made the galley slaves of the minority , would endeavour to get their fire-arms back again , same as they do in Ireland , wholly regardless whether any Noble Lord would call it robbery or not . There was an act paseed in 1819 , entitled , The Search for Arms Bill . " This bill was brought into Parliament by the late Lord Casilereagb , who i cut his throat at North Cray , in Ktnt , three years afterwards . I believe h was the last aei of Parliament

      that empowered the minority to stize and carry away the fire-arms of the great majority of the Irish people . Is it fair or jn 3 t to charge with robbery of fire-arms those who make a feeble effort occasionally to get their own property back again 1 There is a parson of the established church , who is still liriirg in the county Armagh , who was a captain of a yeomanry corps as well as a parson , and who , in the exuberance of his loyalty , spent the greater part of the Sabbath day drilling and training his corps , and preparing them for " search foi arms" campaigns ; and upon such occasions Yfasrnot

      unfrequently too late in church to exchange his military aeconixeiEeiHS before the performance , of divine service , and who was therefore under ; ihe necessity of throwing his surplice over his unfqrro , and thus aimed , proceed to discharge the duties of a minister of peace , upon which occasions M 3 sword nsed to prep out from under his surplice , to tto infinite amusement of the unrighteous , and the disgrace of that church of which he is a minister , with bioie and with bayonet , by turns thiB hero chose , To isve the sonis of orange friends , and cut uown Papist foes .

      r It is very probable that this reverend gentleman i 3 one of those whom Mr . Walter , of the Time * , ceagsated as " surpliced ruffians . " It would occupy too much of your Lordship ' s time to trouble ycu with the perosal of the several statutes empowering and authorising the favoured few to deprive the persecuted many of their firearms in Ireland . But , in order that your Lordship may see those statutes at one view , I fees leave to

      -Ttda yen to " Scully ' s Penal Laws , " aud " Howard ' s Poprry Cases . " Blackstone saya , ** that the d « ffercnct between a freeman and a slave is , that the one is armed and the ether is not . " The Irish fenow and feel the full force of ibjs saying . Y * mr Lordship ' s second proposition , which involves the third , is , " that there are more more murders committed in Ireland , and with greater impunity , than in aDy other conntry in the world . " This , propeauon , I regret to say , is strictly true . But you omitted to state the cause of those murders , the parties guilty of them , and who were the

      victims . The remote cause of those barbarous murders may , with strict justice , be attributed to bad laws . Permit me to observe , en passant , that 1 am one of those who believe thatProtestanVs are just as piou 3 as Catholics , and that they would support their own clergy as the Catholics do , without dipping their hands into their Catholic neighbours' pockets , IF the law would permit them to co so . The parsons of the chnrcb by statute law established in Ireland , are empowered by numerous statutes to take , by force of arms , by the bayonet and the bullet , the property of their Catholic neighbours , for which they give them no consideration , no value , in return for wnat they take way , except that of declaring , and sometimes swearing , that their faith is superstitiousidolatrous , and damnable .

      , When yon stated that there were more murders committed in Ireland than in any other conntry you were bound , in candour and in justice , to have stated boldly and fearlessly that the nineteenths of those murders were committed in the coUectHuiof , and resistance to , the payment of tiths ; and what makes the case still worse , tlw » e instances committed in * be presence of ministers of religion , claiming the tithe as a debt due to God Almighty for the » on-payment of which , they , God ' s ministers

      on earth , and magistrates too , exercising both the temporal and spiritual power , commanded the police or soldiers , -and BometimcB both , to shoot down God's creatures , for ; the love of God and a few shillings alleged to be due to him in the shape of tithe . Now , my Lord , this is true ; and let me ask you is there such cruelty , tyranny , cant , and blasphemy established by law in any other country in the world except in unhappy Ireland ? There were twenty human beings , God ' s creatures , murdered at Skibbereen for a few perches of potatoes which Parson Morritt said was due to God , but which the poor people refnscd to dig for him , and for which refusal , and for endeavouring to protect those which they had stored np as their only food for the winter ,

      there were upwards of twenty of them Bb . ot . deao . in one day . Yet Parson Morntt still lives ! At Newtonbarryi on the 18 th of June , 1831 , there were fourteen persons brutally auda ! barbarously murdered for a sum of £ 2 6 s ., tithe alleged to have been due to God , by a farmer of the name of Doyle ; bnt which £ 2 6 s . he refnsed to pay to a Rev . Gentleman of tne name of ATCIintock , who assumed to be a man of God a follower of the Apostles , and a teacher of the doctrines of our blessed Redeemer ; but who was , in reality , the brother-in-law of Lord Roden . whom you know is nephew to the celebrated Bishop of Clogher . Well , Farmer Doyle said that this £ 2 6 s . was not dne to God as alleged by Parson M'Clintook , nor due , according to British statute law , till the November following ; whereupon this man of God , this parson M'Clintock , the brotherin-law of Lord Roden , who is nephew to the Bishop

      of Clogher , seized upon some half score of Farmer Doyle ' scalve 9 , impourided them , sentfor the police and yeomanry to assist at their sale by auction . The day of sale arrived s the police and yeomanry were under the command of this Christian minister and Captain Graham ; the cattle were brought out of the pound for sale , when some little boys hissed and hooted at the disgraceful and anti Christian proceedings ; and it is said , a few stones or pebbles were thrown at the j police , whereupon they fired , volley after volley , upon the crowd going to market ) —for this tithe slaughter took place upon the market day at Newtonbarry ,- —when fourteen persons were shot dead upon the spot , amongst whom was one Mary Mnlrooney whose unborn babe was shot dead as well as herself . ; Here then was a Christian minister shedding blood for money ! Are these crimes enumerated in your Lordship ' s catalogue ?

      Arc crimes so revolting as these known in any other part of the world except in Ireland ! No , no , my Lord , I am ; sure they are not . Every country on the face of the earth is a stranger to such scenes of iniquity . At Carrickshock , on the 14 th of December following , nineteen persons were killed in another tithe , affray ; and it was proved that when the unfortunate and hasty Captain Gibbons shot the man who laid his hand upon the bridle of the horse Captain Gibbons waB riding merely to ask him a question about the tithe proctor , against whom all the hostility of the people was directed , the last words he uttered as he fell were— " boya , I am gone ; but remember Newtownbarry . " Thus , you see , that one massacre lays the foundation of another .

      Is this the system yon profess to cure by an Irish Arms' Bill ? At WaHstown six persons were shot . At Moncoin a similar number . In short , from one end of Ireland to the other the people have , under the colour of law , been shot down indiscriminately , for the purpose of maintaining the ministers of a church which , after all these bloody deeds , asserts that it derives its title io support direct from Heaven . I shall pass orer ihe burning of the com of the poor on the public roads , when tho men of God could not get bidders for it . I shall pass over the deaths in prison , the seizure , branding , and starving to death the cattle of the poor , for the honour and glory of God and the comfort of the parsons—the seizure aud sale of the furniture of my

      own house—the hunting of the people with hound and horn , with horse , foot , and artillery—the writs of rebellion against titho recusants , by which pauper attorneys amassed large fortunes . ; and come at once to the bloodiest clerical tragedy that ever was enacted on the face of the earth , which is that ef Batbcormac , on the 24 th day of December , 1834 , Christmas eve J It was here that Parson Ryder , a minister of relig ion and a justice of the peace , commanded toe military to fire upon the people who Surrounded the Widow Ryan ' s stack-yard , to prevent this man of God from forcing the gates to take awsy the corn which she had secured in her stackyard and barn . It was here that Parson Ryder commanded the military to shoot the people , and they did shoot them . And when the huan-broken widow was kneeling by the dead body of her

      bleeding son , Parson Rydar rode up to her and said—11 Widow Ryan , will you pay me now ! " Did any thing like this ever occur in any country in the world except Ireland ? Were the parties guilty of these atrocious crimes brought to justice 1 No—not one of them ! It is true , then , as your Lordship has stated it , that there is more difficulty in bringing guilty parties to jastice in Ireland than there is iu any other country in the world ; and to obviate the difficulty , and as an all efficient remedy , you bring forward an Irish Arms' Bill ! My Lord , there cannot be . a greater proof , or a better one adduced , of the peaceable and forgiving character of the Irish people , than that Par > ons Ryoer , Hamilton , and Morritt have not been shot long ago , and that Parson M ' Clintock , the brother-in-law of Lord Roden , who , bear in mind , is nephew to the ex-Bishop of Clogher , Jocelyn , died quietly on his bed .

      lu my letter of the lpth . instant I mentioned that 1 had always looked upon the meddling of the Irish Catholic priesthood in matters which I considered as strictly temporal , to have been , though well intentioned , exceedingly mischievous . 1 shall now tell you the reason why their conduct appeared to me to have a mischievous tendency . It will be admitted that it is the duty of every good member of society to adopt the most efficient means to put an end to the shedding of human blood . Now , my lord , when the people were goaded into madness by rack-rent heartless landloida driving them off their estates in thousands , hundreds of whom perished of want ( of which fact there is ample evidence in the reports of parliamentary committees on the state of Ireland ) ,

      on the one hand , and ministers of religion slaughtered and plundered the people by wholesale on the other hand , and when it was well known , and is notoriously true , that the maddened , goaded , plundered people , finding that the laws afforded them no redress , but , on the contrary , oppressed them more and more , and gave additional impunity to their persecutors , bad it in contemplation , as a last resource , and as their only hope of preserving themselves from htter annihilation , to shoot half a-dczen of bishops and as many titled rack-rent landlords , which would most unquestionably have put a total stop to any further effusion of bloOd , an end to tithe slaughters , and an end to . the wholesale depopulation of the country ;—well , what did the priests do

      iu the midst of these scenes of desolation ? They ono aud all preached to the people to abstain from all acts of violence in retaliation ! to submit to ihe will of God ! and actually made them believe that this cruel treatment was xt > fltct « d upon them by Divine Providence as a scourge for their sins , and that it was their duty as Christians to submit to it ! that the Almighty would afford them-redress in due time ; but that they should yield implicit obedience to the laws and those who were placed in power to rule over them . The result of this advice was additional persecution and ; accumulated virongs . Tho parsons and the landlords having now nothing to fear from resistance , went on shooting and plundering the people on one hand , and driving them out of their holdings to perish of want and die in tbe

      ditches in hundreds on the other hand ; whereas I am thoroughly convinced that ha < l the priests refrained from interfering in the matter at all , the people would have soon redressed their own wrongs ; and although I have an instinctive horror of bloodshed and violence , yet 1 should , as a choice , prefer being shot at otce to that of being starved to death by hunger . Nor can I ; for tbe life of me see the difference , in moral turpitude , between a parson of the Established Church shooting a peasant for a few shillings tithe , and a peasant shooting a parson in retaliation ; and consideriig tha rauk in society , the education and profession of the parson , there cannot be a « hadow of doubt on the mind of any rational man that the balance of guilt is on the side of the parson .

      Have yon , my Lord , ever heard of any country in the world , except Ireland alone , where the ministers of a religion of a very small minority of tho people were authorised by statute law to shed blood for money ! Ministers professing Christianity , and at the same time trampling upon the acts . of the Apostles , and relying with impunity upon Acts of Parliament ! Or have you ever heard of any other conntry , except Ireland , where tbe priests of the people ' s choice preached resignation and submission and in

      to such unparalleled tyranny , oppression , - justice ! Depend , upon it , that the Irish Arms' Bill will not be a remedy ift > r these evils which cry aloud to heaven for vengeance . " The people will disregard it ; they wilt see nothing in it but a perseverance in the old system of arming a privileged few against a whole nation ; they will lose all confidence in ihs Jaws , and abandon all hopes of redress ; experience will [ have taught them that , following even the advice of their clergy has had no other effect than that of having given additional impunity to their oppressors ; and in their etil notions

The following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That having ascertained beyond all doubt or question that the reason why the British Minister abandoned his original threat tp embody the English militia regiments , for the purpose * f putting down , by force of arms , the Repeal Movement , upon the old Caatlereagb system of &TBiiBg the Britten people and bringing them into hostile collision | with the rrisb In Ireland , and vice versa , was entirely and exclusively owing to the wide-spread influence and Indominable spirit of Chartism ; that the returns which were made to the general or < ier to embody the militia , by Ithe Lieutenants and Dapnty Lieutenants

      of Counties , and Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of the Stuff of the several militia regiments in England , were to the effect tfbat the ureat majonty of the working classes of Great Britain were so deeply erabueil with Chartist principles , it would be dangerous to enroll , drill , arm . and equip them ; that it was impossible to raise a regiment in England without , having two-thirds of tbe men not ODly favourable to a Repeal of the Union , bat to a severance of the two countries , should the Irish desire it ; that' nearly the whole of the English peasantry , and fa vast portion of the middle classes , including the entire body of DUaaateijM , are opposed to Ihe continuance jof a Protestant Church Establishment in Ireland , and anxiously desire its total and immediate abrogation ; thai after this signal service to the people

      of Ireland , those who arrogate to themselves tho exclusive advocacy of the Repeal of the Union , will be guilty of base ingratitude , unless they publicly ack owledge the noble , independent , and truly Christian conduct of the Bjitish Chartists ; that it is now obvious that the minister cannot , for any bounty , get Chartists to enlist in a etifeade against the liberties of the people of Ireland ; and ! that , thorefore , his only hope to put down the Repeal Movement , is by getting Irishmen , who are not Chartists , to enlist for that tyrannical purpose . That we . the members of the Irish Universal Snffrage Association , in public meeting lawfully asserobled , « U > hereby moBt cotdialty and heartily tender o \ w warmest thanks to our British Chartist Brethren for having , by a strict adherence to the true and genuine

      principles of liberty , disappointed the Minister and saved tbe country from the horrors of a civil war ; and we emphatically call upon every honest man in Ireland to join ub in our grateful thanks to tne Chartists of Great Britain . " This resolution was passed amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . A wonderful change in favour of Chartism has taken place during the last week in consequence of the publication of a correspondence between Mr . O'Higgins and Lord Eliot , although it appears in one paper only , the Freeman ' s Journal , n » Other paper having had either the courage or the honesty to publish it . That sneaking , beggarly ^ half republican , toad-eating and sycophantic paper , tfaei Nation , declined ihs publication of this admirable correspondence ; for this CorrespondeiHW gave the lie to the Nation , and all other trading politicians who have asserted ever and

      over again that Mr . O'Biggins and tbe Irish Universal Saffrage Association were in the pay of the Tories . They refused to do this act of common justice to a man and an association which they cave basely calumniated . Hundreds of pounds of the public money have been Bpent in froitlessefforte toauppres ? Gbartlafflin Ireland . Even tne very Catnolio Churches baye been the depots of bearing false witness against Chartists ; the walls of those sacred edifices have been polluted by the false testimony of the O'Connells , the Steels , the Daunts , tbe Rays , the McKallys , the Byrnes , the Frenches , ' the Hearaes , the Mo'Hugha , the Kellys , and others . Nevertheless Chartiam lie flourishing in Ireland . Nothiug has tended so much to dispel the delusion under which the citizens of Dublin were labouring , as thia recent correspondence with Lord Eliot

Clcsve , or any other person collected for such purpose . At the same time this council urges upon ] the country tho necessity of one fund for all general purposes connected with the Chartist movement , which can only be established through the re-or , ganization of the Chartist party , which they trust will be speedily accomplished . " J The Conference . —The following resolution was

      also adopted : — " That , reiterating our willingness to abide by the decision of t&e majority oi" the Chartist localities , as to the place and date of the assembling of the Conference , we earnestly request our brother Chartists in all localities where the subject has not yet been discussed , to immediately give their decision , a 9 to the propriety of such Conference , and the place and date of its assembling , and to send their decision to the Northern Siar by August 1 st . " Visit of Mb . Hill to Sheffield . —This gentleman paid us a visit on Monday last . We had applied for the use of the Tpwu Hall , but waa refused . No matter . If legitimately we may not hold our meetings in tho Town Hall , then illegitimately we will do so . Let ! opportunity offer , and

      the " respectables" shall have cause to regret that they drove us to turn their fraudulent meetings into Chartist gathering . Not another place could be procured ; and we had to content ourselves with the Association Kcom , Fi « - | tree Lane , which will comfortably hold some hundreds . * Oa this occasion they were rather more uuinepus than comfortable . A systematic attempt had been made by some base scoundrels to prevent the mfeunK being known , by tearing down and dfcfaeing the bills in every part of the town . The skulking knaves are known , and on all fitting occasions shall be ( held up to the scorn of the public , ai ei ^ ht o ' clock ! the room was densely , and shortly after that hour most uncomfortably , crowded . Mr . Hill , on hir entrance , was greeted

      with hearty applause . On the motion of Mr , Harney , Mr . Evmson was called to the chair , who . after a brief speech , concluded by introducing Mr . Hill . Mr . H . spoke tor nearly three hours , and delivered an address , which , for statistical research , sound k&owlettee , correct principles of political economy , a thorough exposure of the cause oi present evils , and a brief , but jplain , showing of the remedy has never been equalled by any lecturer who has visited Sheffield . Mr . Hill , in the course of his address , was deservedly and enthusiastically appl&uded . At the conclusion ] of the lecture , Mr . Edwin Giil proposed the following resolntioc : — " That this meeting returns its hearty thanks to tho Kev . Wai . Hill , for his eloquent lecture this evening ; and at the same time wej eannot separate without expressing our unqualified approbation of his

      past laborious services in the people ' s cause , more especially as the talented conductor of that bright luminary , the Northern Star , [ which under his management has so ably instructed the people in the knowledge of their rights , and the only remedy for their wrongs—the establishment of the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Julian Harney seconded the resolu tion , which on being put to j the vote was carried with but one dissentient ! That gentleman being a member of the ( we believe ) now defunct Political Institute . Mr . Hill returned thanks , and retired amidst the hearty expressed good wishes of his auditors . Mr . Hill's leoture has excited great interest ¦ and will be productive of immense good . His favouring us with another visit at the earliest possible moment is most anxiously desired by the democrats of Sheffield . x
