THE NEWSPAPER. 



Simple Repeal could give her, and something mure, that in Bach 

 case the Federalists will be permitted, and even cited, to 

 tckr? their natural station, according to their talent, wealth, 

 an.l ran!;, at the head of the movement. I think it right to ex- 

 press my very strong opinion that we should have had a very 

 now d Federal demonstration, if the English Whig party had 

 not succeeded in stifling it for the present. There is something 

 exceedingly ludicrous in the fact, that, whilst the English Tory 

 press were airing the Whigs, and abusing me for having, as 

 ley untruly alleged, entered info a compact to substitute Fede- 

 ralism for Repeal, and to assist in bringing the Whigs again 

 into office, the Whigs were, at that very time, counteracts 

 e / effort of mine to procure a declaration from the Fede- 

 ralists, and they actually succeeded in preventing a Federal 

 declaration— which, I believe, would have long since appeared 

 but for their antagonist exertions. There is one inquiry," 

 he continues, "which the people of Ireland have a right to 

 make, and which I am ready to answer. What occa ion ha-, 

 there been to raise the question of Federalism, I, myself, bein 

 content with the restoration of the Irish Parliament in a 

 re! .-d shaps ? My answer is— that it is a duty which I owe 

 to the pe- o of Ireland, to obtain for the struggle for the 

 rtttoral i of their Parliament all the strength, power, and 

 energy tlm^ I pov ly can accumulate in that cause; it is 

 ray sacred duty to show to the British empire, and to the 

 world, upon what slender foundations of support the Union 

 statute based : to demonstrate to the British Ministry 

 an Intish Parliament, the universality of the disgust that per- 

 vades Irishmen of every class, at being deprived of any share 

 in the government of their own country. I demonstrated by 

 means of the monster meetings of last: r how intense wa 

 an ;s, the anger of the Irish people at the loss of their national 

 nder.ee, and how peacefully, but fixedly determined they 

 were, and are, never to relax their exertions until the Parlia- 

 ment - 11 be In Collegcgreen again ; and now it is equally 

 incumbent on me to procure, if possible, a similar combination 

 am. ng the wealthier classes, and particularly among the Pro- 

 te nt nobility and gentry, for the restoration of our national 

 pendeuce. There is no taunt— there is no reproach— there 

 is no lumny,that I am not cheerfully ready to endure, if I 

 am able to procure the support of such of the Protestant nobility 

 and ; try as have not yet joined us in seeking the Repeal of 

 the Union statute. There is nothing short of principle which I 

 would not sacrifice to obtain the support of the Protestant 

 gentry: I desire to place them at the head of the movement, 

 that all fear of r< loos a- ncy may be done away with for 



ever, and the Re d of the Union rendered secure." 



In conclusion, he says, — 



•' I have thus shown that I seek for Ireland the full benefit of 

 the Repeal of the Union, and the restoration of her domestic 

 Parliament; that I will never take less lor the Irish Parliament 

 ttian that which it had before the Union, that is, final legislative 

 and judicial authority in Ireland. But, if I can get more for 

 Ireland— if I can, in addition to her legislative independence, 

 procure for her, by means of a Federal arrangement, a direct 

 interference as to foreign treaties, and a direct and unequivocal 

 power in colonial affairs, I will not refuse the advantages and 

 authority whieh may be tendered to Ireland, as additional links 

 in the connection with Great Britain. In fine, fellow-country- 

 men, the pause of experiment is over; let us rouse again for the 

 peaceful contest-a contest not to be suspended until the Par- 

 liament is again in College-green with all its ancient authority 

 and jurisdiction." 



Mr. Ray then read a letter from Mr. Joseph Sturge, 

 and an address to the Irish people from the Birmingham 

 Council of the Complete Suffrage Union. Their proposal 

 was to recommend Universal Suffrage. Mr. M. O'Con- 

 nell then handed in the bill of exchange for 500/. from 

 New York, and read the letter containing that remit- 

 tance. It stated that this sura of 500/. was the first 

 instalment o( the 2000/. which the Repealers of New 

 York bad pledged themselves to supply in liquidation of 

 the hue imposed on Mr. O'Connell ; but, as that fine 

 was no longer to be paid, they still intended to raise the 

 amount of it, to be applied to the general purposes of the 

 Association. Mr. O'Connell congratulated the Associa- 

 tion on the feeling which prevailed throughout America 

 in their favour. This remittance proved tha: the hostility 

 entertained towards the Irish in the States was confined 

 to a single spot— Philadelphia ; but that everywhere else 

 throughout the Union there was an unbounded sympathy 

 with the repeal cause of Ireland. Several contributions 

 were handed in by different gentlemen, after which Mr. 

 M. O'Connell rose to controvert some remarks having a 



[1844. 



asserted called aloud to Heaven for vengeance. It was 

 received as a political axiom amongst Irishmen, 

 that "the man who committed a crime gave strength 

 to the enemy/' and he could, therefore, have no 

 hesitation in branding as a traitor the wretches who 

 would be guilty of such enormities as he had alluded to. 

 Mr. Dohenny having handed in a sum of money from 

 the county of Tipperary, urged the union of all par- 

 ties for the benefit of their common country, and denied 

 that the Catholics ever aimed at obtaining an ascendancy. 

 After some routine business had been disposed of, 

 Mr. M. O'Connell announced the rent for the week to 

 be 838/. 16s. 3d.— Mr. Sharman Crawford hai published 

 a long letter in the Dublin papers on the present state of 

 Ireland, showing the practical evils which have arisen 

 from the existing state of the connection between the two 

 countries, and promising to state in a future letter what 

 changes he considers necessary to remedy them.— The 

 Duke of Leinster has presided at a meeting in Dublin,

 20,000/. for Father Mathew. 



Limerick.— On Monday week, the day on which Mr. 

 Gloster was murdered, Mr. Robert Hunt, of this city, 

 was fired at, at noon-day, near Smithfield-gate, Croagh,' 

 by an armed party, one of whom covered him as he 

 drove along in his gig, but Mr. Hunt's servant drew out 

 a pistol, which he pointed towards the cover, and this 

 made the fellow's hand shake, for he fired wide, and 

 providentially missed his object. The miscreants then 

 jumped out on the road to follow their intended victim, 

 but, seeing Mr. Hunt and his servant too well prepared 

 for them, they desisted. In regard to Mr. Gloster's 

 murder, the local papers state that, as the remains passed 

 along the road from Kilkishen, in a funeral coach, the 

 peasantry in the fields turned off from their work of 

 potato-digging to cheer and exult at his death. Mr. 



Gloster's lauded property was about 900/. a year. He 

 was an extensive grazier and dairy farmer ; was unmar- 

 ried, and, in the event of a sister who lived with him 

 dying unmarried, the reversion of his property goes to 

 the trustees of the Episcopal Asylum Chapel of this city. 

 A meeting of magistrates has been called in consequence 

 of this outrage, and several witnesses examined, but no 

 clue has been obtained to the murderer. — On Sunday 

 last another murder was committed, the land-steward 

 of the unfortunate Mr. Gloster having been waylaid and 

 murdered on that eveninir, near Kilkishen.

Extraordinary Discovery In the excavations for the 



improvement of the Caledonian Canal (now in rapid pro- 

 gress throughout the whole line) a curious circumstance 

 was observed at Bona, where the small lake of Dochfour 

 is joined by a narrow neck of land to Loch Ness. This 

 spot was once the scene of a Roman encampment, and, 

 according to Chalmers, was called the British Boness, 

 that is, the foot, or lower end of Loch Ness, which the 

 Romans Latinised into Bonessin, and Ptolemy into 

 Banatia. Near the ramparts of this Roman camp was a 

 rude keep or fortress, called Castle Spiritual, designed, 

 we suppose, to command the passage of the river Ness. 

 In removing some of the ruins of the castle a number of 

 human bones, the teeth being remarkably fresh and entire, 

 and one complete skeleton, were found. Some coins 

 of the reign of Elizabeth were also dug up ; but what 

 occasioned most surprise was the discovery of a nest of 

 toads, completely encased in the solid wall, with appa- 

 rently not the slightest opening by which ingress could 

 be obtained. In a small cavity, about 3 inches in dia- 

 meter, were found six foads and a lizard. On their first 

 admission to the light of day the toads appeared in- 

 sensible, but on being touched by the men they speedily 

 revived. — Caledonian Mercury, 



The Norwegian Traveller. — The German Papers have 

 recently announced that Mensen Ernst, the celebrated 

 Norwegian pedestrian traveller, had died on a journey 

 in seeking for the sources of the Nile, and was buried 

 near the cataracts. It appears, however, that he is come 

 to life again. According to the Journal of Aix-la- 

 Chapelle, he has lately been in India, having performed 

 the journey from Constantinople to Calcutta and back, 

 on foot, in fifty days. 



Hydrophobia. — The Frankfort Gazette says : — M A 

 gentleman of Saratoff has discovered that the most 

 efficacious remedy for the bite of rabid animals is the 

 insect called tentania aurata, reduced to powder, and 

 given to the patient. Dr. Wagner has tested the remedy, 

 and met with most satisfactory results." 



Vice-Chancellor's Court.— ^Before the Vice-Chancellor of 

 England.)-- Hu.r table V. the State of Illinois and Others.— The 

 State of Illinois is one of the repudiating- American States, upon 

 which fact the interest in this suit depended. Mrs. Huxtablc, the 

 plaintiff, was induced by Messrs. Wright, her bankers, in 18fu, 

 to sell out some foreign stock, and to invest the proceeds in the 

 .purchase of debentures in the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Messrs. 

 Wright were then the agents of the State of Illinois, and had the 

 disposal of the bonds. Among the other' irregularities of Mr. 

 Wright, the principal partner in the firm, it was alleged that he 

 had not pursued his authority in the issue of the bonds, and some 

 of the disputed bonds he gave to Mrs. Huxtable. At their bank- 

 ruptcy the firm was largely indebted to the State, one of the items 

 in the amount being the money which Mrs. Huxtable paid for the 

 bonds, and the State proved for the balance. The notorious event 

 of the repudiation of their debts by the State of Illinois and other 

 States subsequently occurred. The agents of the State at the time 

 of the repudiation were Magniac, Smith, and Co., and afterwards 

 Magniac, Jardine, and Co., and the present agents are Baring, 

 Brothers, and Co. All these persons were also made defendants 

 to the bill, together with the assignees of Messrs. Wright, who 

 held the dividends upon the proof against that firm. The Illinois 

 and Michigan Canal having been stopped up for want of funds, 

 in consequence of the repudiation, an attempt is now about to be 

 made by the State, through Messrs. Baring and Co., to raise a 

 further loin in this country from the original bondholders, upon a 

 promise of certain advantages. Under these circumstances, which 

 were detailed in the bill in a very complicated manner, this bill 

 was filed, alleging that the only property which the State had in 

 this country was the dividends upon the proof against Mr. Wright's 

 estate, and praying for an injunction to restrain the payment to the 

 State of the dividends, and to restrain the further negotiation for 

 the loan to the canal project until the plaintiff's claims should be 

 recognised and satisfied. To this bill several demurrers were 

 hied. His Honour said there might be a very good case, for 

 aught he knew, against the assignees of Wright, and against 

 the State of Illinois. But it was to be collected from the bill 

 that the State had an objection to the manner in which the 

 bonds were dealt . And if the State did repudiate, in the 



sense intended by that word, the bonds in the way they did, it was 

 not to be said that they did so without justice. It was too much 

 to say that the State acted dishonestly because they refused to 

 sanction a transaction which they had not authorised. But the 

 question was, Whether the plaintiff had made out a case against 

 the demurring parties ? His Honour then proceeded to analyse the 

 allegations of the bill regarding these defendants, but the contents 

 were not in the least interesting, and his Honour concluded that as 

 equity was not shown against any of the demurring parties, he 

 therefore allowed the demurrer, with liberty to amend. He 

 thought there was a substratum of a good case, but he could not 

 undertake to say positively that there was.

Drury-Lane Theatre.— On Monday night this 

 theatre was honoured with the presence of Her Majesty 

 and Prince Albert. The royal party occupied a private 

 box on the tier above the dress circle in the bend of the 

 house. Although the visit was a private one, it was Her 

 Majesty's first appearance in public since the opening of 

 the Exchange, and consequently it did not pass unno- 

 ticed by the audience. At the moment of her appear- 

 ance, which was at the beginning of the second act of the 

 Syren, applause broke forth from all parts of the house, 

 and a call was raised for the royal anthem. It was, 

 however, unnoticed on the stage, and for some time the 

 opera was continued amidst a deafening mixture of 

 hisses, applause, and cries for " God save the Queen." 



• a ' ^\ e u Cr ' , th ? d: " op Was le * down, and "Rafter 

 raised with the whole company assembled to sin* ' 



anthem both before and after which the Queen bor. 

 repeatedly to the audience. The second act of the ooera 

 wa, then commenced again. Both Her Majesty Tnd 

 Prince Albert appeared in excellent health and spirits, 

 and nothing could be more gratifying than the general 

 exhibition of loyal feeling towards them on the pare of 

 the multitude which filled the house.— The hundredth 

 performance of Mr. Balfe's Bohemian Girl took place at 

 this theatre on Tuesday ni ? ht, the composer himself pre- 

 siding in the orchestra. Upon Mr. Balfe's entrance the 

 greeting was long, loud, and universal. At the end of 

 e*ch act he received the spontaneous applause of the 

 audience, and at the close of the opera he was summoned 

 before the curtain, when a laurel wreath was cast upon 

 the stage and pre sented to him by M iss Rainforth.

THE HAIR. — Of the numerous compounds constantly 

 announced for promoting the growth, or reproduction of 

 the Hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited 

 period, whilst 



ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, 

 with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public 

 estimation. The singular virtues of this successful Invention 

 for Restoring, Preserving, and Beautifying the Hun Hair, 

 are too well known and appreciated to need comment. The 

 very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys its 

 general use in all countries together with numerous testimo- 

 nials constantly received in its favour, are authorities which 

 stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a 

 similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent 

 great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, 

 who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine " Macassar 

 Oil : whereas, the genuine article is wholly the invention and 

 property of A. Rowland and Sox, and the amalgamation of 

 its costly exotic materials renders abortive any attempt to dis- 

 cover its component parts— thus proving the imposition of all 

 other articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The 



genuine article has the words 



ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, 

 engraved in two lines on the wrapper; and on the back of the 

 wraoper nearlv 1500 times, containing 29,028 letters.— Price 

 3s 6d.—7s.— Family Bottles (equal to 4 small), 10s. orf., and
