Society, acting like a kind of House of Lords, would, when brought into operation, be most advantageous in removing all false impressions and alarms from the minds of the landed proprietors of the country. The third subject which he had to bring forward, was that of the impeachment of the Ministry. With respect to the Judges, he thought the better course would be to have an address to the Crown front both Houses of Parliament for their removal, as was the case in the removal of Sir Jonah Barrington. That would be the most constitutional principle, as it would require an iii quiry before Parliament in the first instance. H e h a d himself seen two instances in which danger to property was anticipated, but in which no danger had followed. When the Catholic Emancipation was first discussed, he heard in the House of Commons—where he ought not to have been—more than one gentleman declare that the property of Protestants would be endangered, and its influence shaken to its centre—that claims would be made upon the forfeited property, and that many of the Roman Catholics had preserved the title deeds to those lands, if the Emancipation Act were carried. That Act was carried. The Irish people had carried it, and that at a time, too, when the supporters of the cause could not have collected in a fortnight as many gentlemen as were now reporting around the table. What was the consequence ? Had property, he asked, been injured ? ' Had the forfeited lands been claimed ? Had Protestant influence been lessened ?—(Cheers.) No ; none of these things happened, and no apprehension had ever been so futile (except that of the speedy carrying of the repeal of the union), as the fear that such things could occur. —(Cheers.) In opposing the Reform Bill, it was said that, if successful, it woud shake the old institutions of the country, be the author of many evils, break up the common law right of representation, and violate those rights which made property secure. It was said, in fact, "if you pass this Bill, you deprive, every man of the value of his property by depriving him of the exer cise of its rights." The result showed the fallacy of those fears. As in 1782 the restoration of Iroland to her rights had, instead of diminishing the value of pro perty, just produced the contrary effect ; and it was a notorious fact, that in no country in the world had pro perty so much increased in value as in Ireland subse quent to 1782.—(Cheers.) Now, it was important that those who thought that the value or stability of property would be injured by repeal, should become acqtfain , ed with it and told them emphatically that the repeal would not injure either one or the other—(Cheers)—but that by it ' the Irish people would have the benefit of Irish taxation, and he did not think that man worth conciliating who did not think that worth striving for.—(Cheers.) He would now come to the address to the people of England, and the impeachment of the Attorney-General.—(Loud cheers.) There was no need for him to enter into the details of the trial ; but he wanted to Lase -- thin . They had heard much of English sympathy.—(Hear, hear.) He was loaded with letters telling him he was wron g i n fixing on the English people the faults of their governors, and that he should not have used such harsh language towards them. Now, he must remind the English people, with all respect, that they had borne with the greatest patience with the Times when it lavished the foulest abuse upon their Irish brethren, and called their priest hood " surpliced ruffians—hooded incendiaries —monkish assassins," and themselves a" felonious multitude."--(Loud cheering.) Now, if he called them Saxons, was it not a very mitigated term, comared with the language he had quoted from the Times, at the period when writing the Whigs out and the Tories in, which it mainly succeeded in by exciting a spirit of anti-Irishism and a No-Popery cry in England.—(Cheers.) Saxon was no term of re proach. It was an honoured name, and the purest por tion of liberty was derived from Saxon laws and institu tions—the Parliamentary system, trial by jury—(Cheers) —and the shrievalty.—(Cheers.) But even if it were a • disgraceful name, was not " felonious multitude" rather worse ?—(Loud cheers.) Was not " hooded assassins" as bad as " Saxon ?" Was not " monkish tyrants" and " surpliced ruffians" quite as strong as Saxon ?—(Loud cheers.) But I'll tell Englishmen what I'll do, said the Hon. Gentleman—l'll make a bargain with them. Let them forgive me " Saxon," and I'll forgive the cempli ments of the Times.—(Cheers and laughter.) I will re mind you how I was received in England during the dis cussion of the writ of error. I was received most kindly, and cheered in my exertions. Mr. O'Connell proceeded to eulogise the Covent-garden Theatre dinner, and the warmth of his reception at various times in England. He was, he continued, now arrived at the time when he should test the English.—(Cheers.) There should be no more discussion, one way or another, as to what their feelings towards Ireland were.—(Cheers.) On this question they would either join Ireland or not, and, one way or another, the public mind would be tested.— (Loud cheers.) He told England, from that place, that if she joined them they would do her ample justice, and would sound her praise in shouts whose echoes should reach themselves again. They would tray that she might be great and powerful—that she might obtain every advantage in peace and victory in war. —(Cheers.) He promised them in return the lion heart and stout hand of Ireland. He promised them her glowing intellect and the congregation of her virtues— her temperance, her morality, her chastity.—(Loud cheers.) He promised them the whole of these, if they joined Ireland in obtaining the victory over ii,justiee.— (Cheers.) Ile had a right to expect it. Supposing that the Member for the East Riding of Yorkshire and the Member fer Bath,-Mr. Wilson of the Corn-law League, and the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle, Advertiser, end .Globe, as well as the Secretary to the League, were indicted together, hurled into a dock together, not al lowed to appear by attorney, but treated like so many sheep-stealers, and were tried by a jury of their political opponents—Mr. Wilson, for instance, by a jury of tenants of the Marquis of' Buckingham, selected by the Marquis himself—that they were sent to gaol for three months without a shadow of law to warrant it, as seven of his friends were—for where, he asked, was the authority to do it ?—what right was there to do it ? (Great cheering)—what a cry would have been raised from one end of England to the other : the very stones in her streets would have raised their voices. —(Tre mendous applause.) The English had a quick way of remedying injustice. Had such a thing occurred there, the people would have raised one universal cry, and in stead of asking for inquiry, would demand where was St. James's or Buckingham Palace ?—(Cheers.) Eng land would have vindicated justice, and, turning out her myriads, she would have driven her tyrants from their seats, however lofty.—(Loud cheers.) Now, was the Member for Yorkshire in any way a snore free-born subject than his son John ? As for himself, lie was born in slavery ; but his son was born free : or was he not as much entitled to protection as the Member for Bath ?—(Great cheering.) If not, what became of the union.—(Renewed applause.) Let the people of England give up the humbugging idea of.deluding Ireland, and either join her heart and hand, or allow her to consider them as her bitterest enemy.—(Loud cheering.) Her bitterest enemy, he said, because England good be tween them and her oppressors, and would not re main neutral. England, however, must now take a part with them or against them.—(Loud cheers.) He offered her ,the allegiance of the Irish people, which would make Louis Philippe tremble on his throne, and would wipe away the disgrace of Mogadore. But he had his price. He was to be bribed, and his bribe was justice.—(Cheers.) In return for that he would make England the greatest of nations.—(Cheers.) He was amused with a passage of the judgment of the House of Lords, wherein they commanded that he and his fellows " should be restored to all that they had lost."—(Cheers and laughter.) There was the solemn judgment of the House of Lords fur them.—(Laughter.) How could they give him back three months of his life ?—(Cheers and laughter.) An inch was a good deal in a man's nose,_ and three months was something at his time of life. —(Cheers and laughter.) They might stop the clock, but not the flood of time. What could they do ? They could punish the authors of the wrong, whom he would be ready to forgive when they acknowledged their • offences. Having alluded to the peaceable state of the country, and ridiculed the idea of a Coercion Bill, and of his abstaining from agitation, as recommended in The Sun, Mr. O'Connell proceeded to argue that he had been convicted of fi NAM crimes by the jury, where only five were charged against him. A gentleman had asked lima the day the verdict was returned if it was really true, and on hearing that it was so, he asked him (Mr. O'Con nell), have the jury convicted you of the murder of the Italian boy ? No, said he (Mr. O'Connell), because they were not asked.—(Roars of laughter.) Having re ferred to other circumstances of the State trials, and in veighed against Judge Burton and the other judges, the Learned Gentleman concluded a lengthened speech by a vivid picture of the triumph of the Irish people e ehen their Parliament should be restored to them, amidst the loudest applause. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN moved a vote of thanks td Counsellors Mackey and Burke for their gratuitous ser vices at the late registering . sessions for the city of Dublin. Through the exertions of these gentlemen to large majority had been obtained on the registry, and, this fact ought to prove to the citizens of Dublin that, they had it in their power to rescue the city. from their opponents. The Hon. Gentleman h th o pe en d w th en a t t . into the subject of the reg i stry generally, and through the exertions of the Association, the country, at the next general election, would bo enabled to return from 80 to 100 Members representing repeal principles. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the motion, and observed that the gentlemen mentioned were deserving the grati tude of the Association for the example of disinterest edness which they had afforded. A vote of thanks, moved by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, and se conded by Mr. O'CONNELL, was then passed to Mr. Crean, the assistant secretary of the Association, for the efficient manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office during the incarceration of Mr. Ray.

HYDROPATHY.—The British Public are in formed that the above Institution has been completed under the immediate direction of Dr. WEISS, in order to convince the pub lic mind that drugs so highly injurious to the human system may be altogether dispensed with in the cure of disease. Dr. Weiss (for merly the associate of Vincent Priessnitz) is well known throughout Europe for the wonderful cures he has for many years past effected by the water treatment. The beautiful domain, Sudbrook Park, for centuries the rosidenco of the Dukes of Argyll, forming part of Rich mond Park, Surrey, has been taken of the Crown and converted into an Establishment of the first order, which is now in full operation. The terms vary from Three Guineas and upwards, according to the apartments. This sum includes'board, lodging, and professional at tendance. _ _ . _ Dr. IV3iss may he consulted daily at Suilbrook Park (Fridays ex cepted), when he attends at 28, Plackville-street, Piccadilly, from Eleven till Four. SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA PLATE. C. "WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and Id, Norton Foliate, aided by a person of Science In the amalgamation:of ➢ietals, has succeeder.' in bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—nap be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured Into every Article for the Table and Sideboard : . .

WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold than his metal is frost all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiums he re ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of universal wear. C. Watson's handsomely illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address. PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel fiat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles. C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and Opal.

This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arranging the hair in, and with another having a beautiful view of Naples, are on the ground-floor. In calling attention to their establishment, ROSS and SONS beg to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they never take apprentices nor young men from the country, nor object to customers asking for the same man to wait upon them ; every porson has clean brushes, they never being need twice without being washed; and parties are not pressed to buy things they do not want. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street. THE PATENT COMPOSITE CANDLES. These Candles burn without snuffing more brilliantly than the best Wax, and are cheaper in proportion to the light given than the commonest 'fallow Candles. The Patentees respectfully beg all pur chasers to ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles," as many imitators have adopted the term "Composite." They are sold by most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the King dom, and are supplied wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clcrkenwell. THE CITY CHAMBERLAIN. We do not intend to increase the renown Of Candidate Heppe], or Candidate Brown. Nor is it intended by MOSES an I SON, To utter a sentence against either one. But as many folks wonder why " we didn't stand, We wish to explain you our reason:, off-hand. The reason that no such an effort was made Is nothing at all but " the pre , sure of trade " E. MOSES and SON have such hutines‘ on hand, That really 'Would not have been prudent to stand. A liberal public are crowding our Mart, And thousands of patrons their favours impart Nay, you cannot imag;ne what business is done At the wonderful warehouse of MOSES and SON. We at times seem to have the whole world to equip, And hence our decline of the " Chamberlainship." We trust that this clear explanation (though short) Will sufficiently prove that we've done as we ought. Of course if we'd stood for this high situation, We should each have been objects of high admiration. And the grand Civic place would have surely been won, By Alderman MOSES, or MOSES' Son. N. B.

GRATTAN seconded the motion, and wished, in doing so, to ask their Chairman whether he had heard of any communication or announcement from the Go vernment of compensation to his Hon. and Learned Friend and his brother prisoners for the great injustice clone them, or of redress to the constitution of their country, that had been so grossly violated in their persons? He saw in the late proceedings an im provement on the old principle of one law for the rich and another for the poor, for he there saw that the Government had one law for England, and another for Ireland. He was deterinined never to sleep in quiet, or to feel a moment's peace of mind, until he saw signal punishment inflicted on the perpetrators of such out rages on the constitution. He would say that it was impossible the proceedings that had taken place in the law courts in that country could be justified. It was, he would say, folly to suppose that the Recorder, sitting in his court, could not know or find out who it was that had stolen the jury list. Would the people of England then assist them in insisting on the impeachment of the Ministers and the others concerned in such injustice ? ' He would maintain that the proceedings that had re cently taken place had brought disgrace on the adminis tration of justice, and that no man could at this moment enter the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, and feel for an instant that his life, his liberty, or his property, was safe under such management as they saw there car ried on. If such proceedings had been attempted in Eng land, the perpetrators know that their heads would pay the forfeit of their crimes. After some further remarks in a similar strain, the Hon. Gentleman continued to state that he would intentionally abstain from referring to other exciting topics that pressed upon his mind, and that prudence cautioned him against approaching. He then quoted the opinion of Lord Erskine on the value and importance of maintaining inviolate the sacredness of trial by jury, and expressed his decided opinion that the rebellion of 1798 had been intentionally fomented and brought about in Ireland by the Government of the day, for the purpose of effecting the legislative union between the two countries. A deputation, consisting of three gentlemen from Liverpool, here presented an address to Mr. O'Connell, congratulatory on his liberation. At Mr. O'Connell's request, the reading of the address did not take place in the Association. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose amidst loud cheers, and proceeded to say that it was his duty to call the atten tion of the Association to the matters of which he had given notice on the last day of meeting. They were, perhaps, too buoyant in their spirits on that day to re gulate with care and consideration the mighty concerns of the nation ; for the concerns of Ireland were now in their hands.—(Hear, and cheers.) They were arrived at a period when, if they acted with discretion, and pru dence, and propriety, the repeal of the union was not only certain, but near at hand.—(Cheers.) He even doubted whether they were able to spoil their cause; in any case it was in a prominent and a powerful situation, and he also knew that an awful responsibility hung over them. The liberty of Ireland was at stake ; the prosperity of the people of Ireland was at stake ; the restoration to Ireland of her national Parliament was at stake. All the blessings that the Constitution can give, and, above all, the combination of the different sects and persuasions in one bond of Christian charity and affection, all these important concerns were now at stake. They had ar rived at a time when they could be free if they deserved it, and conducted themselves accordingly.—(Cheers.) They were then somewhat more sober than they had been last week.—(Laughter.) They had been, then, naturally warm with th e tr i ump h w hi c h t h ey h a d ob tained, but more sober thoughts had come upon them since. Every thought and re fl ect i on w hi c h he s i nce had convinced him more and more that the hour of liberty was at hand, and that they should bo free, if they con ducted themselves as freemen ought to do.—(Cheers.) Their Chairman had said well, that their first duty was conciliation. They had every encouragement to conci liate those who were opposed to them. If they looked at the transactions of the last twelve months, they would see that there we.; springing up at every aide a disposi tion amongst Irishmen to combine one with another. He would take his own individual case. When the verdict was found against him, in a manner which he need not then describe, there was no triumph exhibited on the part of those who were called the Orange faction. There was no Orange lodge illuminated—no Orange proces sion searched forth, in commemoration of the triumph— there were no drunken orgies—no toasts of " To hell with the Pope and O'Connell."—(Laughter.) There was nothing of that kind done ; but three years ago the thing would have been very different. It was but a little more than that time since he risked his life in going along the Queen's highway to Belfast.—(hear, and cheers.) Three years ago the North would have been in a blaze of triumph at his conviction. Now there was no triumph of the slightest kind. Such neutrality, if it went no further, was a matter that they ought to hail as a harbinger or better days to Ireland.—(Cheers.) Ire rejoiced in that neutrality. He was grateful for it. lie thanked the Orangemen for their forbearance, and he expressed his strongest gratitude to them for that proof that they were becoming more Irish than they had been formerly, and that they, at least to his sense, held out a prospect of better days fur their common country.—(Hear.) But what had since occurred ? Since he had been libeeated had the popular triumph been marked by any discontent on the part of those who opposed them ? Had there been any meeting held to express their resentment at the manner in which the ultimate success of the cause of the prisoners had been attained, or to disparage the conduct of those through whom that success had been announced? It was quite the contrary. He was proud to say that he hal received the congratulations of persons who had been formerly opposed to him, and whose polities were even yet not identified with his. He was proud to say that many who would formerly rejoice in his conviction, had joined in the illuminations that had followed his libera tion.—(Cheers.) These were excellent symptoms, and they ought to do everything to ensure a continuance of them, by reciprocating the kindliness that was extended towards them by those who were formerly opposed to them. But in addition, had they not the most perfect tranquillity on the part of the people ? He saw his Learned Friend (Mr. O'Hea) near him, who had at tended a case at the Tullamore sessions, reported in the Freeman's Journal of that morning, which served as an instance of that feeling. The people had been lighting a bonfire in a place where the law permitted them to light it, when a single policeman interfered to prevent them. The people at once obeyed him, even though he was acting illegally, and separated peaceably towards their homes. The case would come before the Go vernment, as it could not rest where it then was, but he mentioned it as showing that the people of Tulla more were deserving of the warmest thanks of the country for their conduct.—(hear, hear.) The first subject which lie had to bring before the Association, in pursuance of the notice of motion which ho had given on the last day of meeting, was, that it be referred to the Committee to report on the necessity of holding the Clontarf meeting.—(Cheers.) He had preceded the an nouncement of that subject by describing the increasing disposition of mutual forbearance among all classes of the community as one of the strongest motives for regu lating the future conduct of the Association in calling that meeting. His own opinion was, that the Clontarf meeting was now unnecessary, and he was sure, if it be not necessary, it ought not to be persevered in, as it' would be considered to have too much the appearance of triumph and defiance. That meeting had been legally convened—its purposes and its objects were legal, and its suppression was unjustified by law and unsanctioned by any constitutional principle. Need they now vindi cate that principle ? lie thought not ; and that fur this reason, that the indictment itself had done so. The five first counts of the indictment declared their meetings to be illegal, but the counsel for the Crown were obliged, in open Court, to consent that these counts should be pronounced falsehoods, and that they should be acquitted of the charges of holding illegal meetings. The princi ple was, therefore, already established, and they were, therefore, under no necessity of vindicating it. They would thus show to their fellow-countrymen, of every religious persuasion, their anxiety to take no step in promoting the repeal cause that is not absolutely neces sary for its success. He would impress this upon his Protestant fellow-countrymen. But why should he mention them, when he had more Protestant gentlemen sitting near him than Catholics?—(Hear, and Cheers.) — They had forty-one monster meetings. They held them with perfect tranquillity and the absence of the slight est breaches of the peace or violation of order. - Net even a single accident occurred at any of them—their purpose being to show to the British Parliament and to the people of England the conviction of the great ma jority of the Irish nation that their country was misgo verned, and that the union ought to be repealed. They had demonstrated that completely, and, therefore, though he would go through the form of referring the sub ject to the Committee on account of its importance, it would be with the anticipation that the Committee would decide as he had done, that the Clontar f meeting would not now be necessary.—(Hear, hear.) The next subject to which he had to refer was the formation of a Preser vative Society. He: thought that society ought to be formed of men who would make a sacrifice for the ser vice of their country, and he thought it would be we ll that they should be entirely distinct from and uncon trolled by the other. He wanted to give the principle of fixity to their ar rangements, and to rem ove t h e im pression that any of the institutions of the country were to be injured or disturbed by the repeal o f the Act of Union. If there was one thing that would tend more than another to inspire confidence, it would be in having persons of property formed together in an association for the re-establishment .. of an Irish Parliament. Ile agreed with his friends Mr. Grattan a n d M r. O ' Brien, that a continuance of the union would cause a real danger to property, but he did not go so far as Mr. O'Brien when he said that he would resist separation as long as he could resist it. For his (Mr. O'Connell's) part he would never consent to separation under any circumstances, and he would give up the repeal to-morrow if he thought itwouldsleecl to such a re su lt. O n t h e con t ra ry, ono of his reasons for working for the repeal was, that he was most firmly convinced that it would bo the only means of maintaining the connexion I;ketween the two countries. 0 YAL MAIL STEAM-PACKE r COMPANY.

MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION This day the attendance at the Repeal Associatiot was as crowded as upon the former occasion whet Mr. O'Connell appeared for the first time after hi: imprisonment. The enthusiasm was as great, ant the same anxiety was exhibited to behold him. About half-past twelve o'clock, the leading members of tip Committee, Mr. John O'Connell, M.P. ; Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P. ; Mr. N. Maher, M.P. ; Mr. Barry. barrister ; and Mr. M`Nevin, barrister, took their places at the Association amid loud cheers. They were followed by Mr. O'Connell, and the enthusiastic greetings which burst forth on his appearance, which were renewed again and again, could only be at length suppressed by his intimating his intention to address the Association. Upon his motion, the chair was taken by the Hon. George llely Hutchinson. Mr. lluTcuiNsoN observed that, though a young member, he was still an old repealer, although not so old as their Liberator.—(Cheers.) From the moment he had been able to form an opinion on the subject, and after having studied the history of his country, he had decided in his own mind that the measure the most dis astrous that had ever been entailed upon this country had been the legislative union between England and Ireland.—(Cheers.) Some five-and-twenty years had passed over his head since he had come to this opinion, and everything that had since occurred had only tended to strengthen that opinion, and increased his determina tion to do the utmost that lay in his power in doing away with a measure that had entailed so much of misfortune and disgrace upon his country.—(Hear, hear.) How often had he, when stretched upon the bed of sickness, wept over the wrongs per petrated on Ireland by the English Government, and how often had he read with delight of the means pro posed by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for the re peal of the union, as those calculated to be the salvation of their country. The union had been imposed upon them in a moment of weakness. It was perfectly we ll known to every person who had studied the history o f if not got u p, h a d n '9 t B o , f the day, an d t h e ef for the pu r p ose of Ib t h.eoeernspte fosteredr i o meansd,t lay by yr t eh tehresorted e r n nt oni o carry ing that measure. Bribery to the greatest extent had been practised—intimidation was enforced, and all the guarantees of the constitution were done away with, and that for the purpose of carrying this most iniquitous measure. Their country was• reduced from a country into a province. The greatest promises were held out to them. Commerce was to be extended, manufactures to be encouraged, fisheries were to be made to flourish. and it was promised that they should be placed on an equality with England in all their commercial transac tions. So far from these promises having been realised, the measure had entailed upon them political degrada tion, and upon the people the greatest social misery.— (Clear, hear.) During the period of five -and-forty years, which the union had now lasted, England had given them Coercion Bills—it had given them Arms Bills, it had suspended the Habeas Corpus Act, for the purpose of putting down tho expression of public feeling.— (Hear.) And what had been the result of all this ? That they had in a great measure been deprived of their political liberties, and the country reduced to the lowest state of impoverishment. And why was all this ? Be cause from the moment that the union took place, as a matter of course, the gentry of the country aban doned it ; their farming interests decayed, their manufactures were ruined, and the tradesmen of that great city were reduced to the lowest state of ' misery. But this was not all. There was not fair , competition on the part of England With respect to their commercial transactions. A system of fraud was resorted to for the purpose of spreading abroad the notion that Ireland was a country in which it was ins possible for a man to live, and in which capital could not be safely placed ; and thus capital was prevented from being embarked in commercial enterprises in Ireland. Such was the state to which the country was reduced, that, he declared, on landing ten years ago at Kings town, for the purpose of presenting his wife—a foreigner, to his family, that his cheek was suffused with shame and indignation on seeing the miserable and degraded state of the peasantry; for, instead of seeing a popula tion decently clothed and fed, he found none but miser able and starving wretches. It was not necessary fur him to enter into an explanation on this subject, but Dublin, as he looked at it, reminded him of Versailles, a place built for 80,000 inhabitants, and occupied but by 30,000. For tuoh a state of things the remedy had been found by the great Liberator, under whose guidance he had the honour to place himself, and that was the repeal of the legislative union between the two countries.— (Cheers.) It was he who had formed, and given life to the Repeal Association, and animated it with his own vigour. During the imprisonment of the Learned Gen tleman it had been guided by another gentleman, who was then there — (Cheers)—b u t then, when they were thus proceeding in a course of conciliation, it was said by their opponents, the Whigs, " Why seek for repeal? —we are ready to increase the number of representa tives—we are ready to increase the number of the con stituents in counties and towns of Ireland—we are will ing to give you a large grant for public education, and to build for you Catholic universities." All these things were excellent in their way ; but none of them went to the root of the evil. One of the evils of increasing the number of representatives would be, to add to the number of absentees, and having some fifty or sixty thousand pounds more spent in London, and withdrawn from Ireland. It was evident that these measures, how ever excellent, would not affect that which was the pur pose of that Association. At least such was his opinion of them, if he did not greatly mistake their views. It was impossible for any one of all these measures to re store them to their manufactures. None of them afforded the means of doing justice to the country, and of raising it from the de g radation i n which it was now plunged. The people of England, he remarked, were beginning to discover how difficult it was to manage the affairs of the three kingdoms. The English Parliament had quite enough to do to attend to its Own affairs ; and the con sequence was, that at the end of the session many Bills had to be laid aside, or were passed in the most slovenly manner. There were only two courses open for the Eng lish Government—either to proceed with further steps of coercion, or something which was still more dangerous, in his opinion, and that was the arrival of the Whigs in power, and the using on their part of bribery and treachery. The Whigs had always professed great things ; but he did hope that forewarned was forearmed, and that now, if this attempt were made, it would not succeed; but that determined they would stand together, and never abandon the cause of repeal. There were two reasons why they must succeed. One was that they would net resort to violence, hut continue in the course which their great leader had marked. The second was, that the holy war in which th ey were engage d called Almighty. I n conc l us i on , h e e 11 with peace and p erseverance , t blessing conciliating s of the a they could not but succeed.—(Ch eers. ) s d a o i w d n th th a The SECRETARY havingiread;the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr. O'CONNELL rose and handed in 4/. Os. 6d. from Edinburgh, and in doing so said he would avail himself of that opportunity of calling the attention of the repeal wardens of Scotland to the existence of secret societies amongst the Irish there. lie was very sorry to learn that they had formed societies under the detested name of " Ribbonmen," for he had known Ribbonism do more mischief to the cause of Ireland than any other faction whatever. They had also in Scotland ot h er secret so cieties under the name of' " United Irishmen," and he believed also of " Rechabites. It would be necessary for the repeal wardens of Scotland to take care that the names of any repealers who maytbelong to these asso ciations shall be at once erased from their books. It was astonishing that people who were so shrewd as the , Irish should persevere in maintaining secret societies, which could only be productive of mischief: llis coun trymen were in general but too ready to boast of what their good actions. They they considered never put a bushel over their good deeds, and secresy in any of their societies or meetings, therefore, proved that their object could not be good or beneficial. He felt it due to those deluded men, to let them know that every one of them who joined a secret society rendered himself liable to the law of the land, and l transportation by . _ aced himself of spies and bloodsuckers. at the mercy The Honour able and Learned Gentleman then moved the suspension of the standing order, and a resolution that it be referred to the general committee to prepare an address to the Irish in Scotland, warning them against joining the secret societies to which he had alluded. The motions wore carried unanimously. Mr.' Jonst O'CONNELL read a letter from Mr. John Augustus O' of Bunowen Castle, apologising for his absence at this critical but auspicious moment. It was with regret he had to state that it was a dangerous ill ness that deprived them of the very able assistance of Mr. O'Neill. Mr. O'CONNELL bore testimony to the worth and ser vices of Mr. O'Neill. He had been a Conservative and an Orangemen, and had j oined them at a moment when such an accession was of great moment. lie considered Mr. O'Neill entitled to the gratitude of the people of Ireland. Mr. WILSON GRAY handed in 20/. from Detroit ; and said that, being a member of the press, and not a member of the Association, he regretted he could not move the insertion of the names of the subscribers in the books of the Association. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that being a member of the Asso ciation—(Laughter)—and as he intended t o continue so for time, at least till they had a Parliament in College green—(Cheers)—he would discharge the agreeable duty of moving the insertion of the names On their books, and at the same time move the thanks of the Associa tion to the repealers of Detroit for their patriotism and liberality. Mr. SNITLI O'BRIEN ; M.P., handed in the following , urns from America :—llochester, United States, 201. ; tfaryland, 221. ; Cumberland, Allegany, 221. ; and tVihnington, 191. Also different sums from various parts ,f Ireland. Mr. O'CosxELL rcad a letter from Mr. John Mama nara Cantwell, one of the traversers' attorneys in the !ate Government prosecution, handing in his sub,crip- tion, and declaring his adhesion to the — Association as a 'ederalist. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman movi d ,he insertion of the letter on the minutes, and said, that though Mr. Cantwell joined the Association'merely as a federalist, he was fully entitle - 1 to join their ranks on that footing. He was gratified at having that opportunity :of leclaring their readiness to concur with Irishmen of , very shade and party in politics, who went the length with them of giving to Ireland and to Irishmen the pro tection of a native Parliament. Without a Parliament which would give 'lrishmen protection—which would -ive Ireland to the Irish—there could be no security (or the continuance of any protection or prosperity that they might acquire. Taking it in that view, they would embrace federalism, and heartily concur with those whom they could not induce to accompany them further. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN would take that public oppor tunity of stating, that, at the great national banquet, to be given on Thursday next, the " Repeal of the Union" was one of the toasts that it was intended should be proposed.—(Hear, hear.) He made that announcement because some doubt seemed to be entertained in certain quarters on the subject. As far as ha was personally concerned, he certainly would not, at the present crisis if Irish affairs, assent to take the chair at any public dinner at which the repeal of the unien would not be a recognised toast ; and he believed he was justified in saying, on the part of Mr. O'Connell and the other ex prisoners, that they would not attend at any dinner at which that toast was not intended to be drunk.—(" Hear, hear," from Mr. O'Connell, and cheers.) lie should at the same time say that every true federalist was at perfect liberty, consistently with his principles, to drink the toast of—the repeal of the union. They had many gentlemen of that class in the Association who were ad mitted merely as federalists ; and the same fooling which prompted them to join the Association, ought to enable them to attend the national banquet to be given in commemoration of the liberation of Mr. O'Connell. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CoNzuteL said, though it was rather irregular for him to speak again at that moment, he trusted that he would be allovved.to express his entire concurrence in what his esteemed .friend by his side (Mr. S. O'Brien) had just stated. He ivould not receive the highest com pliment that could be paid to man (and there could be no compliment higher 'than the invitation to the national banquet, to be given on Thursday), that would compro mise for a moment the repeal of the union. —(Cheers.) The repeal of the 'union meant a repeal of an Act of Parliament passed in.the year 1800, by which the Irish Parliament had been annihilated, and, therefore, he should say that a fetteral Parliament, giving the manage ment of their national affairs to Irishmen, was one that he was quite ready to receive. He was convinced that a Parliament would work well for Irelaud, and if it did not he was convinced it would give them the means of working better.—(Hear, hear.) . Mr. O'Connell con cluded by handing in 25/. from Liverpool. Mr. T. M'NENEN (barrister) handed in a sum of money, and then proceeded to address the meetiag. He regretted illness alone prevented him from taking any part in the proceedings of the Association since the oc currence of that event, which had filled the hearts of Irishmen with joy and exultation. Had it been the lot of Mr. O'Connell to remain in gaol, the accession of such men as their chairman, and the many concurring circumstances which were daily inspiring them with hope end confidence, would have been the source of consola tion to him, but he was happy to say they were the brightest ornaments of his triumph.—(Cheers.) This triumph was not one over a party or a faction but over that monstrous unmeaning document which they called an indictment, and by which they thought to crush the liberties of this country. They had restored the trial by jury, that noble institution which was the palladium of heir political liberty. • But for the liberality of the Irish people, which enabled them to bring their case be fore the highest tribunal, a precedent would have been established, which might have proved more fatal to the liberties of the two countries than standing armies or coercion b:lls.—(cheers.) Their triumph would in future prevent Government from cramming their jury boxes with convenient consciences to swear away the liberties of Irishmen. He believed they possessed the materials for the formation of a country, and it re mained but for Irishmen to call them into existence. The Learned Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheering. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN rose and read the following notice : " The Committee of the Loyal National Repeal Asso ciation propose to award the following sums as prizes for the best essays written in support of repeal of the Act of Union : For the best essay £loo Second best Third best "The essays are to be sent to the Secretary of the Repeal Association before the Ist of January, 1845 ; the name of the author not to be 'attached to his essay, but to be sent in a sealed envelope, bearing some fictitious signature corresponding to a similar signature attached to the essay. " The Committee will not examine the letters of the unsuccessful competitors. " The Committee will not hold themselves bound to award the prizes, or any of them, unless the essays sent in by competitors shall be of such a character as to render their publication advisable, with a view to the ad vancement of the cause of repeal. The Committee re serve the right of publishing the prize essays at the ex pense of the Association, without the interference of any claims of copyright. " It is suggested that the authors should state and re fute the arguments which may be advanced against the establishment of a domestic legislature for Ireland; that they should state fully the arguments for repeal; that they should develops a form of executive and legislative c I o r i n s s h t iten t people, p a a r n t d s o to f t p h r e o m u o r t i e t i s u i n i i e t l y n e that b t h e t e; e s e h d o the constitution calculated to secure the happiness of the of fe ; illustrate the international relations which they propose shall hereafter subsist between Great Britain and Ire land, by examples taken from the existing institutions of other countries; and, in particular, that they should examine how far the constitution of Norway, and its connexion with Sweden, nay serve as a model for the new constitution of Ireland; that they should describe the probable consequences which may be expected to result from a repeal of the union—pointing out the dangers to be apprehended, and the means by which those dangers may he averted. " N.B. These suggestions are not obligatory, and are meant only to intimate the sort of essay which the Com mittee consider would be most useful. " The essays are not to exceed in length 200 pages of the ordinary size 'and print used in the reports of the Repeal Association. " The Committee, in awarding these prizes according to the comparative excellence of the essays, will not hold themselves responsible for the sentiments which they contain. " Judges appointed:—Mr. John O'Connell, M.P.; Mr. Thomas Davis; and Mr. Wm. Smith O'Brien, M.P." Mr. O'BRIEN then said that the object of the Associa tion in giving the notice he had just read was for the purpose of directing the attention of the intelligent minds of this country to all that could be said for and against the repeal of the union. They were satisfied they had truth on their side, and were confident that any thinking man who weighed the subject with philosophical impartiality would arrive at the conclusion that the union should be repealed.—(Hear.) The people bad been listening to arguments why the existing union should be repealed, but they had not as yet heard what was to be said on the contrary side, and their object was to enlighten the people of this country. The question was an open one, whether they should have a separate Legislature or a federal Parliament ; whether they should stand in the same relation to England as Sweden to Norway. He was glad the leaders of the Association had not pressed any particular form of Government on the attention of the people ; their sole object was to secure that which would be to ensure the happiness and prosperity of the country.—(Hear, hear.) In England it was received as an axiom that repeal meant separa tion; but he would assert, on the other hand, that repeal was essential to the integrity of the empire.—(Cheers.) It mattered little, however, what they thought, as the event could he accomplished, not through the interven tion of English opinion, but by the exertions of Irish men. There was a vast difference between the Catholic question and the repeal. Many had great and selfish reasons for opposing the former, but every man who had any regard for their mutual welfare should support the latter.—(Hear, bear.) The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to point out the many advantages which a resident Legislature would confer on Ireland— dwelling on the evils of absenteeism, the constant drain of money from this country, the removal of the public offices, and the monopolisation of those offices by Eng lish and Scotch, and the unequal representation of the two countries. He then contended that the fear of losing these advantages was the sole reason of the hostility of Englishmen to the repeal, and should, consequently prove as an argument for Irishmen to seek for it. He then proceeded to say that the time would shortly come when the alternative would be proposed to English states men—Repeal or Separation.—(Cheers.) For his part, he would certain!y . oppose anything having a tendency to separation, but in spite of the efforts of an O'Connell, O'Brien, and other leaders, the alternative would come —Repeal or Separation. Under these circumstances, - he would contend that the advocates of repeal were the true friends of the connexion between the countries. — (Cheers.) It was, therefore for the purpose of enlight ening the people that the Committee had come to the conclusion of disseminating the essays he had alluded to ; and he would be surprised, indeed, if the prizes that were propos2d did not call forth an amount of talent that would do credit to the national genius. The lion. I Gentleman then concluded by submitting his motion to the meeting. .0 • ..;• _
