._ t'APHOLIC ASSOCIATION. Thursday, before three o'clock, the doors of the Corn .change, Dublin, were crowded. The entrance do r having been thrown open, the Association Room was soon occupied. Mr. CLiNCH in the Chair. Mr..O'Corom.r. shortly after arrived, and was re ceived with shouts of applause waving r f hats, &c. Mr. O'CONNELL WA's anxious Tat nothing connected pith himself should injure the sacred cause in which they were embarked. He . hod undertaken the mission t o England with pleasure, as be was anxious to show the English people that they were watchful to guard against any domestic calamity, and preserve tranquil-1 lily at home, and sectnity . abroad. He argued, it I would be a saving to John Bull to do justice to Ireiaild, without which her peace would never be secured ; that by conceding that measure he opposcd, he should have an opportunity of explaining, that they offered a bonus of twenty-three millions a year. He had riven, be said, for the purpose of alluding to the disappointrnent that had taken place reg.-riding .that mission; he was pre-' vented from going,. and:his friends Mr. Shiel and Mr. Bric declined going, as he was unable to accom pany them. The. mite of the disappointment was known to all ; on that subject he would be silent,' and he ousted every individual there would concur in following the same line of conduct: if lie had any claim on the gratitude di the people, he hoped they would indulge him. This was not the place for de fence, or for any discussion; good feeling and under standing ran together, and be entreated them to com ply. He would not exhibit any anger at what had oc curred, or airy indecent triumph at what he anticipated —a victory. They did not deserve the benefits of law if they did not respect it, and he conjured everybody to pursue the advice he gave. He would, on the next day of meeting, bring up the address to the Catholic Associations in England, intimating the abandonment of the mission,. The routine business of the Association was then resumed. • _ _ A letter from Jeremy Bentham, enclosing SI. as his subscription, was eulogised by Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Contizu. then alluded . to a transaction • that had occurred at Derry. . Two Catholic tradesmen in that town chose to marry two Presbyterian females, for which purpose they were proceeding to a Couple-beggar in the neighhourhood. • Mr. O'llagan, the Catholic Clergyman of that place, heard" of the circumstance, and prevented them from doing so, and solemnized the marriage himself. For six weeks these persons lived together in pextect harmony, until a Bench of Magistrates .summoned them before them for the purpose of giving evidence against the Priest. They refused doing so,• in consequence of which they were sent, urifler an escort of dragoons, a distance of tout teen miles. . to a prison, there to remain for three years, without bail being taken for them.— The males and females were separated, in eonsequence• of which, and to gain their freedom, they were induced ro lodge informations against the- Priest, who, in the meantime, flew to France, until the question should be settled. 1-1 e (Mr, O'Connell) thought it prudent (al t..ough his own opinion was, that the Magistrates acted illegally) to get Mr. Perrin to consult. with him on the subject, and the result of their deliberation was, that tl;e act was' totally illegal. - He admitted that the Penal Code made it death for a Catholic Priest s to roarrpa Catholic and. a Protestant; but here the wo men were • Presbyterians., Now, although the Penal Code made it death, yet the law of 1793 tirade the offence only subject to .five hundred pounds-penalty. Genetal Committee of the Association have thought it their duty 40 try the law by an action for false imprisonment, and. recommended that that action should be-brought at' the expense of the Association. He moved that the Committee be insti ueted to bring the action. This was put front the Chair, and passed. Mr. O'CoNs EL t. then brought up a Report relative to an alleged libel in an English newspaper on the College of Nlaynootli, and concluded by moving that the Re port be refer red to a Committee. Toe motion was carried. Mr. 8/ICIL defended the College of Maynooth at great leagth. Twenty pounds was granted for the Society of Raigious Liberty in London. . . ..... Mr. S►t;lL gave notice of a motion, relative to instituting a pro ecuilun against the Honourable and Rev. A. „Cavendish, who, he aid, Nad ordt•ted gunpowder to be deposited in the house of a man named John Cahill, of Monte% He submitted that some pro ceeding should be instituted. Mr. Dwyer 's salary was rated at £2.06 per year. The amount of rent this week is £4Ol 173. sd. Mr. M`Louniseini was then called to the Chair, anti the Meeting adjourned, shortly after six o'clock, to Thursday next. At this perioJ, when the stream of public opinion has set so strongly towards mining enterprises, to which the union of capital 'undoubtedly offers peculiar facilities, by rendering accessible undertakings, the magnitude of sdrich must necessarily deter private adventurers, it is without any surprise we learn, that the wants of the public have called forth a comprehensive Association for Mining Purposes, as well domestic as foreign, which is now in progress, and may be expected to be finally arranged in a few days, under such auspices as to secure the confidence of the public. CATHOLIC .JUBILEE.—The Pope LEO XII. has issued o Bull of Indiction," appointing the year 1825 a year of jubilee for the whole of the Catholic Church, and inviting the faithful sons of the Church to make a pil grimage to Rome. The following is an extract t—" We proclauta and publish the Universal and Great Jubilee to commence in this Holy City, from the first yellers cf the next eve of the Nativity of our most Holy Saviour, Jesus CHRIST, and to continue through the whole of year 1825. During this year of Jubilee, we merci laly in the LORD grant and impart the most plenary and complete indulgence, remission, and pardon of all their sins, to all the faithful in CHRIST, of both sexes, Alto are truly penitent and have confessed, and who have likewise refreshed themselves with the Holy Com munion ; provided (if Romaos or inhabitants of the city) tt,ey shall have devoutly visited these churches of the city—;hat of the blessed Peter and Paul, of St. John Lateran, and that of Sr. Mary Major, at least once a day for 30 days, whether successive or (interpolatos) interrupted, natural, or even ecclesiastical, to be coin 'eines! from the first vespers one day, to the complete evening twilight of the succeeding day ; but, if they be foreigners, or in any respect strangers, they must have visited these churches at least 15 days as already de scribed ; provided also, that they shall have poured forth pious prayers to Goo for the exaltation of the lloly Church, the extirpation of Heresies, and the con cord of Catholic Princes, and the salvation and trail . Christiani popli) of Christendom. Lest night, soon after six o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Powatu.,/rocer, Graceehurch-stteet. A good of water, and the speedy arrival of an engine, enabled the emen soon to extinguish the tones, but not before they bad done touch damage to, the interior. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Poe-13moms . , Dec. 25 . —This afternoon arrived his -Majesty's ship SA?IANANG. 28, Captain Duss ' from Halifax, after a tempes tuous passake of nineteen days. There is no news by her. Rear- AdMiral WILLOUSIIIII LAKE was about to proceed in the JUPITER, 50, Sir Wm. Wiseman, Bart. to Bermuda, to lie there during the winter months. The Mena t, SAPPHO, and Dorreetx, were to ac company him. We understand the return of the SAM asn to England, after being so few months on the North American Sta tion, is occasioned by a discovery of the complete failure of the new plan to preserve ships frein decay. The SAMA RANO was fitted out at this port under the direction of Sir 11. Davy, with the zinc preservers attached to the sheathing metal, by means of which, pro-' ducing galvanic action, it Was expected the copper would he pre served from corrosion; but, it is proved, that though the oxidation of the metal is prevented by the defensive action of the iron, the animalcules which this oxidation used to destroy, now prey in such security upon the vessel, that the bottom of the SAMARANG is co vered with worms, barnacles, and sea-weeds, to a degree which prevents her being steeresl with neceaaary safety.—She is therefore returned to England, to be docked attd re-coppered. The westerly gales still continue, and, in consequence, all the outward bound Merchantmen (nut less than ISO sail are at anchor within the Wight) remain detained. The NIEMEN, 28, Captain Pnovo Wawa (destined for the Cape of Good Hope station) re waned to Spithead yesterday, having sustained injury in Cowes Roads, by the ship Duckenfield getting on board her ; she is to come into harbour. The ATUOLL, 211, Capt. J. A.Meastax, for the Coast of Africa, continues in Cowes Roads. . _ The number of men employed in his Majesty's Dock-yards having been reduced to the lowest scale intended, the men are ordered to work six days in the week instead of five, in future.

They will proceed on their cruise in a day or two, accompanied by the Scam..*. ;be short trial they have bad theOaasees appears to have improved in the valuable quality of going well to windward. In a stretch of twenty miles the CHAM nom was obliged to make way for the ORESTES, when crossing upon different tacks.—Arrived the STARLING from a cruise; Beasolg,l from Falmouth.—Sailed the EGERIA and REYNA ED, on cruises; Vlint.arrr, for Liverpool. Tuesday night and yesterday morning, we were visited by another tremendous gale from W.S. W. but no injury was done to the shipping. Ten vessels were riding at anchor in the Sound, and a number at the mouth of Catwater, during the gale. The London traders bound to this pert, and other coasters, have been shut lip by the weather, in the various creeks and har bours, some of them many weeks.

TM, CHAMPION, ORESTES, SCYLLA, JASPEft, and BETNARD,.. By the Lord Melville packet, letters from Rio de Ja. neiro to the 3d of November wire received on Saturday. They contain no political intelligence. It had been de termined by the Government to draw on England monthly to the amount of 50,0001. on account of the loan contracted here, until the whole sum due to the Government from the Contractors was received. The Bank of Rio, however, through whom the' transaction was to be effected, could not succeed in drawing bills to the required amount in time for the present packet. There would, therefore, remain 100,01E1. in bills, to be drawn on the sailing of the neat. The attempt had had the effect of raising the exchange from 47 to 48. It would appear, from a letter written by a respectable merchant at Rio, that the Brazilian naval service does not offer much attraction to English Officers. In an swer to an application from a friend to be admitted to serve his Imperial Majesty, he says, " Certainly, the situation of a foreign officer in the navy is: not at all enviable; and, from the intrigues which have for some time her:lg going forward against the English Officers already employed, I have little doubt but in a short time their situatiors will become so unpleasant, that the greater number of them will give up the service." The Lady East, now lying in Falmouth harbour, has on board 210 convicts, bound for New South Wales.— A number of these ruffians formed the project of over powering the crew, liberating their fellows, and after running the vessel ashore, making their escape. On Wednesday night, about 40 of the most desperate con trived to saw off their irons, and made towards the place where the arms are depos:ted. Fortunately, the watch heard the bustle they made, and gave the alarm, and the villains were prevented from executing their purpose and secured. The discovery was made most opportunely, for a few minutes more would have put them in ro,session of'arms, when there is no doubt they would have butchered the whole of the crew. The ringleaders were flogged on Thursday, and every pre caution has been taken to prevent a similar attempt. RESURRECTION TREES.—In the gale of Tuesday, the 26th of October last, four elm trees, in a hedge row, on the farm of Mr. WrirLows, of South Cot kerington, near Louth, were blown down. Mr. W. sent a carpen ter and a labourer to lop off the branches, which they did, and brought them away. In the morning after, to the surprise of the two men who went to fetch the trees home, two of them were risen up, one quite erect, the other nearly so, and are now standing without any branches. The roots of the trees were interwoven with the roots of several sorts of brush-wood, such as maple, black thorn, &c. the elasticity of which drew them up. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT DRURY•LANE THEATRE,— Wednesday evening, just at the conclusion of Guy Alan nering, the rope that suspended the iron balance (of three hundred weight) to the drop curtain gave way,: and the ponderous mass fell sixty feet, bearing all be fore it through the floors to the bottom of the stage. It grazed the side of one person, and a large piece of timber fell on Miss PMT'S head, and wounded her severely. She was of course incapable of performing in the Farce of My Uncle Gabriel, and Miss CAnII, at a moment's notice, read the part. A moment later, and Miss STEPHENS, with several others, who were running into the Green-room, might have met with most dreadful injury, if not death. .: ,;~,;. ~,.;: ~.: -- -"- AIR. O'CONNELL. Weitsesaay, Mr. Kildahl, Solicitor foV Mr. Oton• nell, waited Upon the Magistrates of the 'Head Police ()Ice, at eleven o'clock. Altterman Dailey and Coun sellors Lowe and Graves were in attendance. _ _ _ MI. Kildahl, addressing the Magistrate, said, " As Solicitor for Mr. O'Connell, 1 request to know if there be any information on oath rrevinusly made before any of the Magistrates, to watt-Int the Chief Magistrate in calling on Mr. O'Conneli zo enter into the reCogni zance?"—The MagiStra:e replied, that there was an informaz:on on oath. . .. Mr. Kildahl then protested against the right of the Magistrates to take further informations, after an arrest upon an information theretofore made before them, anti required a copy of inch information.—The Magistrates refused to gi;e any copy. Mr. Kildahl then distirictly called on the Magistrates to furnish him with the name or names of the persons who made such informations.,-This the Magistrates, peremptorily refused. Mr. Kildahl—Well, if, notwithstanding my protest, you proceed to examine any further witnesses respect ing the cite, ge already made against Mr. O'Connell, will you permit such examination to be attended, on the part of Mr. O'Connell, by himself, his Counsel, or agent ? The Ma g istrates—Certainly not ; but inasmuch as Mr.O'Connell k not subject to the inconvenience of cus tody, we consider ourselves entitled to examine such other witnesses for the purpose of said inquiry as we shall consider necessary, without allowing any atteltd ance by or for him. Mr. Kildahl then withdrew; and afterwards addressed the following letter Mr. Kenunis, the Clown Solicitor for the province of Leinster : Sackville-street, D;cember 22, 1824. Syr—As the Solicitor of Daniel O'Com.ell, Esq. and on his be half, I request to be furnished with a copy Of the informations, by virtue of which he has been held to bail to appear at the next Coto mission, which informations were not only taken altogether es parts, but the matter and particulars' thereof have been hitherto withheld from Mr. O'Connell. Having made an application for a copy of them to the Magistrates of the head Police Office, they refused to give it to me, and afterwards referred me to the Law Officers of the Crown—l therefore apply to you for it. You art.,,,of course, aware, that it will be impossible fur me to take any measure on Mr. O'Connell's behalf, until I-shall have obtained such copy, the ex penses of which lam ready forthwith. to pay.

CORONEdeS 'INQUEST. --am— • An Inquest was held at Lyndhurst, on view of the body of John Beatles, one of the keepers of the New Forest, who, on Monday last, came to his death in con sequence of a blow received on the 9th inst. from one Wm. under the following circumstances :—ln consequence of recent orders, the keepers of the New Forest have been lately furnished with toils, and have employed much of their time in endeavouring to take a quantity of rededeer, to supply his :Majesty's park at Windsor. After very great trouble, they had at length, on the 9th inst. succeeded in driving some of the ani mals towards the trammels, and had called together a number of assistants, whom they dispersed in parties in such manner at they thought best for continuing the deer in the right direction. Among those assistaras was the above-named IVilliam Shelly, who formed one of a numerous party assembled for the same purpose. After they had remained there a considerable time, the deceased rode up to them, and requested the whole of the patty to remove to another station, which he pointed out.. No notice of this was taken by any one; on which the deceased repeated his request; and Shelly, who was then walking directly the contrary way, replied, " I shan't come that way, I shall go which way I like." The deceased upon this said, " I'll be d—d if you shall, and (with more oaths) I'll tide over you if you don't come this way." Shelly still refusing to comply, the deceased proceeded to catty his threats into execution, by spurring on his horse, and riding towards Shelly, who with his arm .turned the animal's head. At the same time the deceased's whip, either accidentally or by. design, fell rather smartly across Shelly's fiat. The deceased immediately afterwards seized Shelly by the collar, and exclaimed " D---a your eyes, come this way." Shelly . replied " Let me go, I have not inter rupted you ; I'll be d—d if I move." The deceased still kept his hold, and, 'repeating his oaths, proceeded to drag Shelly off 'by the collar. On this Shelly took from his right-hand coat pocket a short bolt, about a foot and a halt in length, formed of cane or stick, with a lump of lead at the top, called a squirrel-bolt, which he held up towards the deceased. saying " If you don't let sue go, I'll be d—d if Id'on't knock you off your horse." The deceased, however, still persevered, and Shelly, after being dragged several yards, during which he threea or four times repeated his threat to use the bolt, struck the deceased wilt it on the back part of the head. It did not appear to be a violent blow, " and," said a witness, "I was surprised when sonic one ob served that deceased's head was bleeding." The de .ceased then let go of Shelly, who retired to the side of the road, when the ',deceased turned his horse, and rode at him again. Shelly, on avoiding ahe horse, fell back- wards, and on raising himself on his seat, the deceased again rode up, and muck hint once or twice across the neck, with the butt end of his whip. Shelly was again walking away, when deceased renewed the attack. Eacleseized on the other's collar, and in the scuffle the deceased was drawn from his horse ; bat in conse quence of Shelly having hold of his collar, his head and shoulders did not strike the gtound. The son of the deceased then came up, and collared Shelly, soon after which the affray ended. Shelly knew. the de ceased to he a keeper, - as he then wore his keeper's dress. Whilst Shelly held the bolt over the head of the de ceased, some one cried out, 44 D—n you, why don't you hit him ?" All the witnesses agreed in opinion, that Shelly had no (hearts of getting from the deceased, but by striking hint with the bolt. After two surgeons, Messrs. Smith and Westcott, who had attended the deceased, and examined the body since his death, had given their evidence, in which they described the effect of the blow on his head, and de clared their Jirm opinion that that alone was the imme-, diate cause of his decease, the Coroner summed up, and at some length explained the various points of law aris ing on the case, according to which he stated it to be his opinion that the person who gave the blow (Shelly) had clearly been guilty of manslaughter, and that the Jury would be justified in returning their verdict to that effect. The Just, however, thought otherwise, and after retiring for some- time to deliberate on the evidence, found a verdict of—Justifiable Homicide. So unsatisfactory was this verdict, tEat the day after the Inquest, four Magistrates, the Right 1-lon. W. S. Bourn; C. W. Mitchell, A. P. Buckley, and G. Eyre, Esqrs. interfered, and after a minute investigation of the business, committed Shelly to Winchester gaol, to take his trial at the next Arsizes, for Mansktglaer. IWE -, Lut Week, the ont-posts of the 61st Regiment, detatted in dif. - fcrent parts of the county Of Limerick, were 'relieved by an egos 1 number of the 19th Foot, from the city of Limerick. Tuesday night the sentinel in Arbour-hill, near the Plicenly Park, Dublin,was attacked by three or four sanguinary ruffians, who suddenly closed on him, cut him on the he. knocked him down, jumped on him, and hi-61.e several of his fingers. Being a horse soldier, he was armed only with a . earhine, and this was not loaded. He was conveyed to an hospitat,Athere he lies in a dangerous state. MILITARY PROMOTIONS.

A few days ago, Lord Fitzwillitm's hounds had one of the severest • tuns which they have experienced for thirty years. They met at Hunt's Closes, but not finding there, drew ftaund's 0 d Meadow, where they found a fox, which went away into Keyston where he was headed, and the hounds killed him before he again reached cover. A second fox was found in a plantation near Dent ford Ash; he ran with uncommon speed and strength, and was killed about two miles front Huntingdon, after a run of upwards of three hours, with only one check of a few minutes. Out of a field of two hundred horsemen, only Lord Milton, the huntsmati, and six or seven others, were in at the death; in a ploughed field, in the parish of Alconbury, upwards of twenty horses were seen standingwith their riders dismounted, who for some time in vain endeavoured either to lead or drive them on, they being ridden to a standstill. The hounds passed through fourteen Lordships, and the distance in a straight line is supposed to be about seventeen miles.• lord Milton, in returning home across the meadnw'oppnsite Mil ton Park, owing to the darkness of the evening, and the waters of the None being much swollen, lost his road, and had a narrovt escape of being drowned; fortunately his Lordship was lre.,rd by one of the keepers on the ether side of the river, who procured a light, and rescued Lord M.,from his perilous situation. The Monkleigh harriers met at Littleham, Devon, on Mondry laat, and started a hare on Northam Ridge; she ran through Little ham; crossed the river at Landcross; from thence to Monkleigh over the river Torridge three times at Wear Gifford, pursuing her way to Bideford, Hunshaw, Alverdiscott, and Westleigh, where she was killed, having run through ten parishes from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon, affording equal fatigue and plea sure to t►e sportsmen. The Gazette of Saturday contains the nomination of the Rev. T. Wnaavox to the Chapel of St. John's wood, Mary-la. bonne, void by the death of the Rev. G. Pa R ca.— Also, the appoint. anent of D. M , 14,1mr., Esq. Advocate, to be Sheriff-Depute of the shire of Perth, vice J. H. Foam'. Esq. resigned. About five o'clock on Wednesday evening, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Tnolusimr, 74, Long Mill-gate, Man. chester, which in a short time was entirely consumed. r ': CORN EXCHANGE, MARK LANE, DEC. C 7. The weather having been boisterous during the past week, the supplies of all suers of Corn were moderate. This morning the fresh supplies" consist chiefly of small quantities of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas from Essex and Kent ; but there Is very little Corn fresh up from other parts. There was scarcely sufficient fine Wheat at market for our Millers' tie, and such kinds sold very freely at es. to 3s. per quarter advance ea the terms of this day se [might, and othtr descriptions also partake of the improvement. Harley has also sold freely, and is is. to Ss. per quarter higher. Ohl Beans are scarce, and dearer. New Beans find a ready sale on she same terms as this day sennight. Grey Peas are rather dearer, and Boiling Peas fully support last quotations. Oats have found buyers with tolerable readiness, and they have obtained full as good terms as this day se'nnight. The top price of Flour is expected to go up to 70s. per sack. PRICES ON BOARD SNIP. • Wheat, Red (1824), 545. 65s Rye, old, 00s. 00$. --. old, 525. 665. Deans, Small, new, 435. 455.
