There was no novelty the performance, which has been repeatedly noticed. Antenna ,t,t !Wont succeeded ; and, notwithstanding the wet weather, the (louse was well attended. COVENT- GA R DE N.

NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. The Meeting of the Association took place on Situr day, at the Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, at hall past titre o'clock. Mr. O'CONNELL, previous to the Chair being taken, ijd, that a report had reached him, that it was intended w suppress the separate and distinct meetings of the Ca emlics which took place on Wednesdays. From the illi berality of a portion of the British Cabinet ; the avowed IListility of the Heir Presumptive to the sanguinary 2nd dreadful Throne; and the threat of Lord An glesea, the report wore an air of probability. How ever, he would say, that he hoped on the day when the suppression would take place he should have the honour of filling the Chair, and he would personally try the question—( Loud applause). All he (Mr. O'Connell) would requite was a fair Jury, and he had no doubt of the result. For his past he doubted extremely that there w 4, an intention of such a proceeding on the part of 1!“: legal authorities. But having heard the report, he c:.,ideicd it his duty to say thus much; he would at al: rinses pay the most implicit obedience to the law, bu: convinced as he was of the legality of their Meetings, he would wish to bring the question so issue in his own pewit— ( Loud Utters). However, he hoped there was wire good sense and feeling in the Cabinet, and that the ill•fited councils of the Heir to the Throne vtould not tither extend themselves to this unfortunate country. M. O'GORMAN said, that when the day should come, he too would be ready to encounter the risk. Ile hoped Vag he would be the Secretary on the day the event anticipsited by Mr. O'Connell should occur—(Hear). At the same time he considered their so ft equent Meetings unnecessary—(No, no) —they were driven, at those Meetings, from want of subjects, into matters of a crude and indigested nature, and appeared to the Public as if they met solely for the purpose of forming a Debating Society. Mr. O'CONNELL considered that, if Mr. O'Gorman entertained such sentiments, he was perfectly free to absent himself from the Meetings which he had de scribed. The fact wag, that, at their Meetings, they had not anything like sufficient time to bring forward half the subjects which were pressing on them. The reason of those eternal debates, of which his Learned Friend,the Secretary, spoke, was the recurrence at them all of one topic, " the Wings." What he (Mr. O'Con nell) would propose was, that a Meeting be specially called to debate those matters ; and when the decision of the country shall have been obtained, let them bei ewer after dropped—(Hear). The Hon. Gonsrmus FRENCH, was then called to the Chair, when it was agreed that Mr. Dw)er, should be Secretary of the Association. The Rev. Dr. Doyle oho had 51. the Bishop of sent Killaloe, and D.an &Shaughnessy, of Ennis, with several other persons, 'nem admitted members of the New Association. A letter of the Education Committee, to the Catholic Pre lates, on the subject of educating the Irish people, was adopted. Mr. SHIEL made a long speech, in which he abused %hat he called the frightful atrocities of the Charter Schools. The details, he said, “ would make the flesh of every parent creep ; the heart recoiled at them even in idea, and the blood was frozen in the veins with horror." O'CONNKLL said the Chant? Schools made the Children they pretended to educate brutes, not men— ther only produced a species of moral Frankenstein's, Mho were neither evil spirits nor human beings, but a mature of both, bringing the bad passions int• society, and blotting away all the good inclinations. 'file Meeting then adjourned. GUERNSEY, Nov. 50.—The Court, on Tuesday, re Turned their examination of the individnals supposed tr' il.re assisted in the escape and concealment of Miss Laura Eliza Horne. In result, Messrs. John de Jersey, Louis de Campourcy (a French Gentleman), and John ?'rock, were committed for trial: it was ordered that tiny should be imprisoned in'the public gaol unt.l the dal of trial, unless they found bail for their appearance; the first two Gentlemen to the amount of 1001. each, arid Mr. Brock to the amount of .54. which was given. Having received summonses to that effect, these titter Gentlemen appeared before the Court on Sunnily, to answe r to the charges preferred against them.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE lITAIL • Wt. 1, 1 egg. Stit•l On quite aware of the pert taken by the Eon dos daily Press oti the vital siuettion Of the Corn Liws, and although 1 did not see the observations in your PA• per, which call forth the praise of your Correspondent H. A. W. it is to be presumed that they are in perfect accordance with the . ealightened and liberal sentiments which his letter contain.. He begins by the following assertion and query ; "Our . population is increasing at the rate of 200,000 every year, and allowing a quarter of wheat as the annual con sumption of, each person, where are the 200,000 qrs. this year, the 400,100 qrs. next year, &c. &c. to come from, if we are not to import from foreign countries ?" The existing 14w expressly provides for our importing from them, whenever the puce rises beyond what is sufficient (and barely so) to keep our immense agricultural popu lation in employment. With the increased demand, will c •me the increased supply. That " many of our pastures have already been con verted into arable land," is so far true—that during the unnatural high price of corn (which I hope neve, to see return), much upland pasture, or sheep down, was ploughed up ; but during the time of ruinously low prices, a great deal of land went out of cultivation, and we know the dres3ful distress which this °mt• sinned amongst our agricultural lablurers and their fantilie , . It is net, however, true that this has enhanced the price of meat. The higher and lighter lands are chiefly cultivated by all good farmers under the turnip and green-crop system, which enables them to keep larger flocks of sheep than they could otherwit# do. The real cause of the present enhanced price of meat is the late severe agricultutal distress, which compelled the farmers to force their stock into the market in greater num%ers, and at a far ember age, than they ought to have done. From the obvious con sequences of this we have not yet recovered. There was also last year a general and extraordinary morta lity among the sheep from the rot, many farmers losing their whole flocks. " Improved machinery" has been introduced to a limited extent, but by no means gene rally. The advantages have been great as far as it has gone, and unless a death-blow is given to our compa-1 rative returning prosperity, these improvements will, doubts spread over the kingdom by degrees. In his next paragraph, your Correspondent observes, " The agriculturists tell us, so far honestly, that they are unable to supply us with food under a certain price, varying generally from 68s. to 755. per quarter, even in years of plenty." In answer to this I have only to say, that the present average of the twelve maritime counties is only 645. for Wheat, and conse quently the average of the whole kingdom is very much under that sum—and yet the farmers do not com plain ; but being just enabled to live and afford em ployment to their poor neighbours (at about a third or four th part of the wages received by manufacturers and mechanics), have again and again declared, that wish the protection afforded them by the present law, they 'could continue to supply the country with food, at prices, under which all interests (their own, certainly, far least of all) are flourishing. The next sentence has already been answered. The' human means'of sup plying our increasipg population with bread, under a rapidly improving agriculture, and the resort of foreign import when arrived at a certain price, •sto ciently obvious. It is unnecessary to enter into the argulnent b ittaiisZ to the " prohibitory laws," made for trade and otamo' factures, the beneficial consequences orwhieh !I. A. points out, and so far proves himself no, friend to ihy new-fangled doctrines, where they interfere with what we must presume to be his own immediate interests. We British Agriculturists are not so ambitious as to chink of supplying Europe with corn. We only main 7 taro that we are able to furnish our own working classes with bread at a price so Moderate, that though it may just allow our agricultural poor to exist by their labour independently of parochial support, yet enables the self-styled operatives, not only to be drunk and idle two or three days in every week, but to combine and strike for higher wages, when receiving from 4s. to 7s. and Bs. per day. Your Correspondent's last argument, I think, Mr. Editor, that even you will allow, is hardly worth an swering. " The annual enlargement of cities and towns, the erection of villas, the making of plantations, gar dens, new roads, canals, Stc." and " the high price paid for land taken for such purpeltes," is, at least, pretty strong evidence of the flourishing state of the country under our present " oppressive corn Laws." When the anticipated period arrives, that very large portions of hour arable lacd will be taken fur these purposes, the remedy will, no doubt, be found for it. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, A MAN OF KENT. The Bank is said to have discounted to the amount of one million sterling on Thursday. Some thieves stormed the Rev. RowLmass HILL'S pantry on Sunday, during Divine Service, and stole the whole of the eatables intended for the Sabbath. dinner. The account which we paragraphed from .1 Morning Paper, touching the pecuniary difficulties of Mr. EL- Limit:, is asserted, by Mr. Roatas, to be erroneous In most of its particulars. It is not true that his theatrioal property was offered to mortgage ;—hhis debts are con siderably under the amount stated—and Mr. ELLISTON has not assigned his interest in Di ury-lane Theatre to his sans. The meeting did take place, and the creditors (to the amount of 12,000/4 present, expressed themselves favourably towards Mr. ELUSTON. The master of the Buxton Hunt, in Lincolnshire, Sir MOHAIR]) SUTTON, Bart. is now confined with a broken thigh, occasioned by a fall from his horse; and CHRIS TOPHER TOWERS, EA. of Weald, in Essex, by the fracture of four ribs ; and his elder son, Mr. Coats- TOPHER Towzas, jun. by a broken collar-bone, which two latter Gentlemen aie now confined at Lincoln. • TAUNTON.—ne .number ref xi* looms in this town 'amounts to about 1,000, and 200 in the vicinity. Each loom is computed to give employment to two persons, is that the warpers, winders, quillers, and weavers, eluding those persons employed in the throwing mills,' tin the manufacture of organzine silk, amount to not fewer than 2,500 persons. Toe , annual returns of the silk trade in faunton may be estimated at n less than 150,0001. The wages alone are about 10001. per week. The trade is at present in se prosperous a state, that nothing but the 'want of suitable houses for the artisans employed prevents it from being doubled. Winchester and its mighbourhood were visited by a more violent storm on Monday night San has been ' experienced for many months.

The following i 4 an extract from a private letter of a person in Dublin, on the subject of the quarrel between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Leyne: " liusum,Dgetatirs 1. "The affair between Mr. O'Connell and Mr.Leyne has engrossed much of the public attention, for although the avowed declarations of the former, on the subject of duelling, are well known, yet it was supposed by many that he had waived his scruples, or was about to do so, because it was incorrectly stated in some of the news papers, that he had requested time to consider the Mat ter ; the fact was, that he, in the first instance, stated to Mr. Leyne's friend, that no consideration would in duce him to aim at the life of another man. This an swer did not at all satisfy Mr. Leyne, who repaired to the Ilall of the Courts, and pretty broadly hinted that he would have satisfaction in one way or the other —in short, it is said that he threatened to offer personal violence. This circumstance at length game to► the ear of Maurice O'Connell, the eldest son of the law yer, and that young man instantly commissioned a friend to wait on Mr. Leyne. who informed that Gen. tleman that Mr. Maurice O'Connell had just heard that Mr. Leyne had made some hostile communications to his father—that it was well know• that his father was a man of extremely religious principles—that he had for many years past frequently and publicly avowed that nothing would ever again induce him to fight a duel; he, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, under these circum stances, was, on the part of his father, ready to receive the commands of Mr. Leyne, and to comply with his wishes on the Brauer of personal satisfaction. Mr. Leyne replied, thivs he and the latter Gentleman had no personal quarrel ; that, on the contrary, they were always particular friends.—Mr. O'Connell's friend re plied, that he was sent to Mr. Leyne to let him know that bit, Mold in his father's place.—Mr. Leyne: Sir, are pat asvare . orthe cause of quarretthit I have had with Mr. O'Connell's father ?—Mr. °Town's friend lam perfectly. I have now done; if you have any commands to make co Mr. Maurice O'Connell, his friend will be at home, at No. 3, Park-strcet, all the day to receive it. Nu communication whatever came from Mr. Leyne." INDEPENDENT GAS COMPANY. Yesterday a meeting of the Independent Gas Com pany took place at the London Tavern, for the pups! of receiving the report of the Directors or Committee for the list year. Mr. FILIDIDIRGAST In the Chair. The reports of the Committee and the auditors,which were separately read, stated that since the last general meeting, a contract had been made for lighting the parish of St. Luke, the northern division of S.ioreditch, the Imperial Gas Company having declined serving upon the proposed terms. Pipes had been laid down to the extent of 40 miles, principally in those parishes; regulations had been made by which the opening of the pipes would become less frequent, and the rental would soon greatly increase. In the financial department there was st defalcation, the instalments to a considerable ex tent not having been paid up, and expenses having fallen in which could not again occur. A statement of account, was then produced of no very Mattering complexion ; and after some lengthened discussion on the salaries to officers, and some other details, t►e Report was received without a dissentient voice. A conversation then took place upon the subject .of the defalcations, which were stated to amount to 5,1701. besides eighty 'hares which remained in the hands of the Directors. The Chairman stated, that amongst the defaulters were some of the Directors; but no shares had been for feited, except those of shareholders who contemptuously sent back the notice• transmitted to pay up. The Secretary said there was, besides the defalcation of 5,1701. a further defalcation of 1,9011. arising from a hundred shares divided between the engineer and superintendent at the commencement of the undertak ing, upon the understanding that those two officers were not to pay upon them. The motion for s Committee to investipte the accounts was then agreed to, and the Committee was appointed. Atter the appointment of Director; the meeting separated. Many of our Commercial Readers may possibly not be aware, that the Act of Pal 'lament, 6.h Geo.lV. cap. 105, repeals the Register Act passed on the 27th of June, 1823, (4th Geo. IV. cap. 41.) together with many other Revenue Acts. This, however, has been provided. for by the new Register Act passed last • Session, viz. 6th Geo. IV. cap. 110, which will come into operation on the 5 h of January, 1826. This Act omits the clause, •" restricting the advantages of 10.itish Registers to ves sels trading beyond the limits of the East India Coen pany's Charter," and inserts two clauses, one "allowing foreign repairs in case of a combination of workmen,' and the other " permitting is lass nuoubex 01 : Britiiir seamen than the law allows i on any combissation,undp authority of his Majesty's .P,ivy Council:: It also omits the clause relative to " Corporate Bodies being owners," and compels new Registers " after the tom. mencement of the Act." The other clauses are similar to-dl•4th Geo. IV. clip. 41. ! ~, a . t.. 1 ; "1. ' ARIGNA IRON AND COAL COMPANY. . . In congequence of grist dissaii*fActton on the pia of the- some of the proprietorsof this Company with con duct of the -Chairman atintrectOrs, acid tha manner in which its affairs were carried on, a Meeting of the stili scribers was yesterday held at the London Tavern, fur the purpose af considering the• propriety of removing the Ch ,irmin And certain of the Directors from their respective sitifations as such, and of considering the general state of the Company's affairs. Whatever may have been the gthiinds upon whieh the complaints against the direction were founded, it *Mild appear from the very rigorous system of exclusion whiCh they adopted on this occasion, against every person not en titled as a shareholder to be present, and against the Gentlemen of the press ill particular, that they were not very conscious tha: their proceedings would bear the light, without casting back reflections in some quar ters ; at least it was pretty evident that they did not anticipate a very triumphant defence. So far did they push their excluding plan, that Mr.. Rosson, a most re spectable barrister, who attended as Counsel for Mr. Flattery (a large shareholder, and the original lessee of the mines), and who in such capacity had a strong claim for admission upon more than their courtesy, had the door closed against him; and all his argtinients to prove the injustice of refusing to admit him, when Mr. Serjeant Adams (who, however, was certainly a sub scribet himself) was present as Counsel for the Direc-. tors, were unavailing. Our Reporter came away, leav ing the meeting, apparently, from the noise which reached his ears while going down stairs, in a state of great uproar; so much so, that a Gentleman who had i been present, and left the om in disgust, likened it to a Dutch concert, where a hundred Musicians are playing at once, each a separate tune. SPORTING INTELLISENCEt BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Dim: L The attendance of betting men of all classes was Very respect. able, but the bettfing, though brisk, did not produce any material alteration in the odds, if we except two or three horses.
