Our papers by the North American arri: ved yesterday at so late an hour that we a _t | had but time to take a brief view 01 weir ?contents. To-day we present our readers | with additional extracts, j The London papers contain accounts of numerous meetings held to express the opinion of the Reform party in England against tho eonduet of Use Lords, in rejecting the Irish Municipal reform bill.? O'ConncI has had a public dinner at Bungay, at which he made a speech, declaring ! that he wanted only justice from Ireland:* I but if the municipal reform which England had obtained was not extended to Irrianc,, the sooner the Union was dissolved the better. * It was a union, he said, between the master and stare, the tyrant and the; oppressed. The inhabitants of Great Yarmouth, with the Mayor at ih?ir head, also offered him n public dinner, which lie declined. "Norwich," says a London paper, "is to him the honor, and there is hardly a town in N ?rfolk or Suffolk that if not ready to record its indignation at ' * " ?* ^Knon iiTniu U1C imimCHt ?U mnvil i?v ama av.rscd, dec., dee." A meeting has been held in Kdinburg to express "deep and indignant regret" at the conduct of th ? peers; similar meeting were to bo held at Greenock and Glasgow, and at these two latter cities, subscriptions were to be raised for O'Connell. At Bath there has been a large meeting, of which Mr. Roebuk said, in a speech, that ' ciril war impended over the nation, and the judgment and courage of tho people alone could tare them from the peril." Colonel Napier also spoke in the following manner " 1 do not think (said Colonel Napier) that the trno question is whether corporation rrform shall be extended to Ireland, but whether the House of Commons shall goretn in England?(Cheers,) whether the will of the people of England shall atjnd. or the will?the corrupt trill?of some era*v and factious Peers ahoil hencr. lorth be jvaramount in this country? cheers, and crie* of * Nuf") Trim nrwy apprehension, the true question, and the ' Iri>h corporation reform is but a liinb of I it?a subject on which to commence the business of agitation?*v. and a very good subject to begin the battle with the Lords.'* Petitions were preparing at Dover. Leeds, Sunderland, Falmouth, and almost every town in Kngland where a newspaper is published, in support of the demand* oi the Irish people. The city of j London was to asscirbio en the 3!slofj May, and rarinus other public meetings fur the Mote object were to le held in other places. The Dublin Evening Post states the meetings to have been so numc* roos in Ireland that it is impossible to give anything but a brief notice of them, and adds that this is the most formidable, the 1 ' >n>aailH<l noil;,. . must cxicn?irc ami msi i? >* %*??-.. ? ; lion ever witnessed in Ireland. The Lon don Courier close# ou account of these jproceedings in the following words: | Wide spread and violent agitation, ; then, is the present result of the conduct I of the Peers. To trhal it trill lead, no I human wisdom can foresee, now that the I passions ol men are ioflamed and mad1 dcaed, any more than human wisdom ! foresaw the ealamnities of the French reI volution, till ihey burst with all their lior| rors on the indignant civilized world.? | Why have the Peers exposed the country ! to snch peril? Let us merely add, that the j new Kcfurm Association of Ireland is to ' take the name of " Anti-tithe and Corpo-< j rate Association/* thus appealing, by its I vorv title, to one of the principles on ! which the great bulk of the people of ; England and Heotland already feel indig nam against the Established Church, in whose ascendency nil this political tur- I moil, which threaten the peace and prosperity of the country, has been caused by the Peer*. We must, in conclusion, cnll on the people at once to come forward, ?.%.! nrarrfollv and (irmly declare that the r i existence of the Peerage and of the Lm?! blished Church of Ireland, if they can. ' not be otherwise preserved, arc not worth j maintaining nl the price of continued ap. prehension end collision, leading to ciril | war, wide spread desolation, en i the dismemberment of the Umpire." The London Times, a paper on the ; other side, seems to admit the extent of the agitation, and alluding to Colonel Napier's expression, remarks as follows: "Here, then, is raised openly the stall* ':dardof unshrinking revolution. Destroy the House of Lords, and the Long Parliament, consisting of a single House, be'cornea once more supreme tyrant of the British empire under the name of I.ibtity! | The King trill not, indeed, be promoted :lo the rank of President, much less of Protector, while the name of Monarch itself will be discarded as an obnoxious fragment ef Church and Slate. Much is it to be deplored that the rough and restless spirit now mischievously ut work cannot find some less costly materials for experiment than the ancient institutions of a free and flourishing land?some less precious toys for the caprice of vivacity or ambiti.n than the lives of Engtiihmcn, and the peace and well-being of society.*' Just Arrived!
