The "pal ;bus se legibus" were repeated over and over ; and the " invicke genies" were to proceed uninterrupted in their career of perpetual tranqui lity.—(Hear, and cheers.) England has been since invin cible. Let me endeavour to remember the ballad, which is sometimes sung in Ireland to the tune of the " Shaun van vaugh :" " On the plains of Waterloo, Duke 'Wellington would have looked blue, If Paddy had nut been there too."--(Laughter.) Yes (proceeded Mr. O'Connell) the shout of victory was raised because Paddy was there. He was not found then to go away as an alien. Why did the Duke of Welling ton support the cry of faction in the House of Lords ? Or rather, why did he not maintain his consistency by raising the Lyndhurst cry on the plains of Waterloo ?—( Cheers.) Why did he not tell the Irish soldiers, " the French are charging in battalions ; the old guard is rushing onward, and the more youthful guard is rivalling the old. Ground your arms ! You are aliens. Irishmen, go away, I will have nothing to do with you. You are aliens in nation— in blood—in religion. Drop your bayonets—may ! away We will fight without you !" Oh, no, he never would have said that ; he was glad to have the strong arm of Paddy fight ing by his side. And yet in the House of Lords this man has had the extraordinary political audacity to tell us that we cannot have an equal participation of civil rights because we are aliens in blood and in religion ! No, no ! He would not have dared coolly to insult Irishmen on that day. His taunts are not issued until the day of trial is over ; and now their palaces are filled with gold and silver plate, as in the case of Strathfieldsaye ; we find this man leaguing with Lyndhurst in the House of Lords, and contumeliously bran ding the country of his birth. These are subjects which must not be let sleep. They must be agitated in every part of Ire land. We are making an experiment ; I have abandoned agitation of Repeal. We have been told that England will yet give us a full measure of justice. Who told us so ? The House of Commons unanimously, on the mo tion of Spring Rice. They had rejected my motion on Repeal, and pledged themselves—every English and Scotch Member among them pledged themselves ; there was not even an Irish Tory Member found to resist the motion ; they pledged themselves, I say, by an almost unanimous vote, that they would do perfect justice to Ireland, and that they would maintain the principles upon which the Union was founded inviolate. Spring Rice got up, and moved for a con ference with the House of Lords. Their Lordships with an- equal unanimity gave the most distinct and explicit pledge. On trials their Lordships deliver their verdicts upon their word of honour. How has that Honourable House of Lords redeemed their pledge. I show their pledge, and I show their conduct.—(Hear, and cheers.) But that is not all. In order to make the pledge the most solemn and binding that it was possible to make it, they determined to commit the King—the Sovereign him self—William the Fourth, the Reformer, to the same pledge ; and, as a Monarch, he plighted his solemn faith to the observance of the same pledge. King, Lords, and Commons were all pledged.—( Hear, hear.) But, alas, it was like the idle wind which blew last night—and which we heard as it whistled by us, but heard it no more ; like the mountain stream of yesterday, which passed down the hill-side, and became mixed on the plain with other watery elements, where the eye could no longer distinguish its identity. Where is this pledge now ? Have they taken any means towards realising their pledge, thus solemnly and deliberately given ? No, Sir ; they insult, they outrage, injure us, and then this is the way in which they redeem their pledge ; but do they expect that a nation like the Irish will submit with patience to such treatment ? Yes, Sir, they solemnly and deliberately pledge themselves to do justice to the Irish people, and then with contemptuous in difference they turn round upon us and violate that pledge. These are the topics which ought to be put forward upon all occasions ; but we know two others which must not be lost sight of, and the first is, the patience and forbearance which has distinguished our conduct throughout these try ing circumstances. Yes, Sir, there never was a period at which Ireland was in a state of more perfect tranquillity than the present. Again, and again, I defy the Orange press to contradict this assertion.—( Hear, Lear, and cheers.) On the truth and existence of these two propositions, therefore, I rely. On the one hand we have a state of the most perfect peace and tranquillity, agrarian outrages and midnight disturbances no longer affright tho land, and faction, fights, and village riots, may be said no longer to have existence. Yes, the surface of the country is unrip pled by a single wave, and the tumult has subsided into a fixed and settled calm. My next proposition, Sir, is that this state of tranquillity is sought to be interrupted by the vile and satanical efforts of the Orange faction, who with their rebellion ruffians, and the relentless severity with which they pursue the wretched people even unto the death, as in the case of poor Reilly, whom you have just heard is rapidly sinking into the grave—having endeavoured to plunge the country into a state of exasperation and excite ment, from which the most fearful consequences might be apprehended, were it not for the calm and peaceable, but not the less determined, resolution of the people. Yes, Sir, we have on the one hand the most perfect tranquillity, notwith standing the diabolical efforts of the Orange faction to dis turb it ; and why, I would ask, is it so : because we have hope that, as far as it is in the power of the present Govern ment, they will realize the promises which they have held out to us.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) In speaking of the Government, however, I must make one exception, and that is my Lord Plunket ; he gives us to be sure one or two good magistrates occasionally ; but the fault I find with him is, that he does not give us enough of them.—(Hear, and cheers.) Now, there are many intelligent and respectable gentlemen, quite fit both by station and property for that office, that he has passed over ; he refuses us the magistrates the people would like best, lest, forsooth, he should give offence to the Orangemen. I do not understand such sensi tiveness. Why have we not more such men on the Bench as my loved friend in the King's county—whom the people se lected as the man who would most faithfully echo their wishes and protect their interests ? And, with the blessing of God, he will be again selected by them. Can it be doubted for a moment that to the present Government the tranquillity of Ireland is mainly owing ?—(Hear, hear.) Is there a man who hears me that will not, for that reason, give his decided support to Lord Mulgrave's Administration ?—(Conti nued cheering.) Can a more sacred duty devolve upon us than this, or one from which it would be more criminal to shrink ? My object, Sir, is to trace this day the course which we ought to pursue in our present circumstances. We have to obtain two things. In the first place, we must have a final adjustment of the tithe question—for, until this question is settled, we can never have peace or tran quillity •in Ireland. It is one of the great impediments to tranquillity, and our present state of quietude is entirely owing to the lively expectations with which we aro filled that the system will be put an end to. I will not, how ever, enter into the details of that course on the present occasion, for Mr. Sharman Crawford has given a notice on the subject of tithes for Thursday next, and we shall then hare a full opportunity of discussing them. We will then, Sir, take into consideration the details of such a measure, as while it effectually extinguishes the system of tithes, will prevent the landlord from putting into his pocket the pro. perty of the poor.—( Hear.) I would, therefore, think it wrong in the absence of Mr. Crawford to anticipate his motion by entering further upon the question. Now, Sir, I come to another important topic—that of Corporate Reform. Every succeeding day increases our conviction of the neces sity of this measure. Can a more monstrous anomaly exist, for instance, than the Corporation of Dublin ? Their con duct hitherto had been a tissue of the vilest corruption and bigotry ; but bad as it was, it has been exceeded by the profligate manner in which they have swelled the number of their supporters at the late registry. If ever a base con spiracy deserved to be exploded it is that. 'l'hcy found the Liberals had outran them in the preceding registers in the proportion of nearly ten to one, and what was their re source ? They make a batch of freemen (I should rather say slaves) by grace especial. I will venture to say, that if I was again a candidate for Dublin, that for an additional half guinea more than the Conservative candidate offered I could have the vote of any one of those fellows—(a v oice in the crowd, Aye, or for half-a-crown.) Oh, no, that would be too little ; I would give them the half-guinea, they have too much respect for the crown—(laughter)— they are too loyal to take so little.—(Laughter and cheers.) I warrant me that an y man i n th e commun ity co u ld ha v e his vote for the crown. After dwelling at some further length on the conduct of the Dublin Corporation, Mr, O'Connell declared that he would make it the subject a Parliamentary inquiry in the next Session. IMPORTANT SPEECH OF MR. O'CONNELL AT THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION. (From the Morning Advertiser.) DUBLIN, Tuesday Evening, Nov. 15, Half-past Six o'Clock. The General Association met at three o'clock this after noon at the Corn Exchange. John Guthrie, Esq., took the chair. After some business of course had been disposed of, and a number of new members admitted, Mr. FRENCH mentioned that poor Reilly, the tithe suf ferer, whose case has been before the public, was not likely to survive beyond the day, in consequence of the injuries he had suffered during his imprisonment as a tithe rebel. Mr. O'CONNELL then entered the room at a quarter to four o'clock, and was received with loud cheers ; lie pro posed the admission of several gentlemen as thetnbers of the Association, and handed in the amount of several subscriptions. Mr. COSTELLO then, in moving the admission of several members, read a letter stating, that two cart loads of Bibles had been bought up by the writer, which had been endea voured to be circulated by some incendiaries. Mr. Costello in the course of his speech used the term nuisances as ap plied to the Bibles thus forced on the Catholics. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the admission of these gen tlemen, and observed that he highly condemned speaking lightly of the word of God, and solemnly protested against such a proceeding ; even the conduct, of those who endea voured to force a certain version of it upon the people did not, and could not, lessen his veneration for it. Mr. CosrELLo said that he did not treat the subject with levity, and his only object in using the language he did was relative to the manner in which the Bible was en deavoured to be thrust down the throats of the Catholics, and that no man had a greater respect for the word of God than he had. Mr. O'CONNELL was sure his Learned Friend was glad he had given him the opportunity of making that state ment, and he (Mr. O'Connell) was also glad that he had been afforded the opportunity of correcting his friend, as the Roman Catholic doctrine was not to exclude the word of God, but directed the distribution of the version considered authentic by the church ; and he himself would undertake to circulate as large a number of those as would, or could be furnished to him, amongst the Catholics of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CoNNELL—I rise now to move the series of re solutions which I noticed rather shortly, and not with any great degree of distinctness, not, however, I trust, so as to have been misunderstood, on the last day of meeting. I rise to move that we shall' now become prac tically useful. The Session of Parliament is approaching. Early in January, or, at all events, early in February, Par liament will meet. We ought to have the table of the House of Commons, on the very first day, immediately after the King's Speech shall have been read—we ought, I say, to have placed on the tables of both Houses petitions embodying the entire wants of the Irish people. Let me be distinctly understood. The Irish people are at present insulted more than they are injured. The insult is more gross than the injury.—(Hear, hear.) We stand a debased, degraded people as far the acts of others can possibly de base and degrade us. No man is either, one or other, ex cept for the commission of some fault or crime. Ireland has committed no crime. There cannot even be a fault imputed to her ; but she would commit not only a fault, but a crime deserving the execration of every freeman, if she were tamely to submit to this outrageous insult.— (Hear, and cheers.) The House of Lords of England have placed themselves in an attitude of defiance against the peo ple of Ireland. They have said that other portions of the British empire shall have the full enjoyment of their civil rights, and that Ireland shall not. They have stood, as did Canute of old, by the shores of the sea—like him they Lave ordered the waves not to approach them : but the waves, in spite of his mandate, swept his seat from un der him.—(Cheers.) The House of Lords would check the onward impulse of the waves of Irish freedom, but they will roll on in spite of them ; and the Lords must eventually yield to the stern and virtuous determination of the entire Irish people, that they will continue to resist oppression.— ( Hear and cheers.) The clear and obvious business of this Association is not to talk, but to act. There is no utility in exertions which are not of a practical character. If we expect to derive any beneficial advantages, we must act ourselves in our own behalf.—(Hear, hear.) Our combi nation must be continued, until we have attained every ob ject which the good of Ireland requires. Again must I proclaim that we are an insulted people. Justice has been refused us. We have been proclaimed aliens in country and in religion. Miserable was our condition when we became bound in the chains of the deleterious Union, and refused that reciprocity of interests and advantages which alone justify the Union. A union, to be just or binding, should draw closer together the links which bind the two countries together, by reciprocal benefits. Heaven knows whether or not we have enjoyed this reci procity l You must all recollect the comparison I have so often made between Belgium, when united to Holland, and since that union has been dissolved.—(Hear, hear.) The advantages which Belgium enjoys in her latter condition have been clearly and forcibly pointed out in the admirable speech which the King of Belgium made recently to his Parliament. Mark ; what was Belgium when united to Holland ? For what purpose was she so united ? She was to take upon her shoulders a certain share of the Dutch Debt. That debt amounted to 250 millions at the least. Belgium did not owe a tithe of that sum. Two millions and a half was the utmost that could be charged against her. When the union was established between them and the people of Holland, it was flagitiously enacted that the Belgians shou ld participate the entire burthen of the debt of both countries ; and the Dutch House of Lords, in deed the majority of both Houses of Parliament, refused to consent to an equitable distribution. Their religion was not directly assailed, They were nor proclaimed aliens in religion; as Lyndhurst bas proclaimed us.—(Hear, hear.) But it was if possible, still more effectually assailed by the perpetration of the most grinding cruelties, and by the con stant promotion of the members of the one sect without me rit, without talent—qualities which the other sect eminently possessed. Religious bigotry was mixed up with everything in Holland. In Holland everything was sacrificed to this pernicious spirit ; and the Belgians were subjected to taunts and ridicule, as if they w ere not men composed of the same materials as the Hollanders, And yet was ever anything more unjust than these taunts ? Have they not exhibited two uprisings of the Belgium nation, 'and chewed a degree of valour rarely witnessed elsewhere,—a spirit which no tyranny can subdue, no treachery extinguish in their minds—the nation-born spirit of Liberty ?—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) I was one of those Members of the House of Commons—and I glory in the recollection—who took an active part in vindicating the justice of that ris ing, and defending the actors in it ; and my reason for thus actively engaging in that controversy was, that I sym pathised strongly with the resemblance which their situa tion presented to ours. I anticipated, from the dissolution of that union great advantages to Belgium. Those ad vantages have been fully realized. The King of Belgium has pointed out those advantages in his speech from the throne ; a speech which was eminently simple in its ex pressions, and lucid in its details. This speech will teach the former oppressors of Belgium a lesson which they will do well to remember. It will encourage the growth of public spirit throughout the kingdom. It has placed upon re cord the cheering fact that the internal res ources of Bel g i u m are being fast developed, and that she is fast progressing in her career of prosperity—that her manufactures arc in creasing ; her commerce, which was before almost anni hilated, restored ; that now the resources of the State are ample—that her national debt is fast diminishing—that her brave soldiers are maintaining respect for Belgium in every land, and that the ships of her merchants abound on the ocean—in fine, that the established industry of her inha bitants will make the names of poverty and distress be heard no more amongst them.—( Hear, and cheers.) Would to God that this was the case with Ireland I Yet so it was for a short period, when the Irish Parliament asserted Ire land's independence—( Hear, hear)—until a fatal policy, encouraged by base slaves reared on her own soil, again en slaved her, by subjecting her to the yoke of the Union. — (Hear, hear, and cheers.) We owed then some trifle — about 28 millions : not 28—only 25 millions. What was the debt of England ? She owed every farthing of 420 millions. We were immediately involved in the responsi bility of 100 millions of debt. Now, was any thing more mad than patiently to submit to subh a Union ? It was just as if one man owed twenty-eight thousand, and his partner four hundred and twenty thousand, and said, So great is the honour of partnership, that after a few y ears I will und er t a k e o n e-half of the entire debt, with liberty to you to increase it."--( Laughter.) That, Sir, is the maddening view under which the Union is to be regarded ; and is it . not madde n i ng t o think of this wholesale robbery beingwith directed against a nation which is absolutely overrun pauperism ?-230,000 paupers. Such are the miserable statistics of Irish distress ?—(Hear, and cheers.) It is insupportable to think that the House of Lords of England should audaciously put forward some desperate adventurer—of this opinion one day, of another the next--a man tot a lly d est i tute o f po li t i ca l principle— without one spark of principl e a t a ll—(Hear, hear) —to declare that Irishmen two it gliong,—,(cheers.)

There never was the slightest difference Prrna.in the ; Ppo of oppression ; neither was there any in its practice, as fa r as. st was W I ; to be carried.—(Hear , hear.) When the question of the Union came on to be agitated, we were told th a t i t s h ou ld pu t an end to this chapter of oppression and h eart -b urn i ng — t h a t Duls'in should ii;egeef9ah In as York, a n d th a t Ireland Their names are Simpson, I believe.—(Hear.) But at any rate there were four of them all born together.—(Hear, and laughter.) They were twins or quadrins—(laughter) —there must be three or four years at least between the births of each ; but the Corporation of Dublin annihilates time for the purpose of making each one of the four eldest sons.—(Laughter.) By this, and similar cirgqmstanees, you can form some idea of the magnitude of the injustice with which they have treated us; but we will endeavour to get some redress. I will bring the matter before the Legislature. I will, I h a ve no doubt, get a CorlinlittPE) of the House of Commons to inquire into those abuses, and it is probable, upon consideration, that Committee may deem it fit to abate such abuses.—(Hear.) They may decide that they ought to discontinue ; well, then, suppose we bring in a Tine 1 1 41 rig YOe4 brought bill to th a t e ff ec t, an d even if a lteferrncq t_;qm. mons Clete to the Houseonse of ,Ords, pnke of Welbrigton and Lord Lyndhurst will kick it qut. 77 (l - lear,) liere at once all our views of amelioration t}lust enq; fqr we have no more hope of justicp from the Flour gf l.orclsi cllgn if. we :45ked the Day of Algiurs . to ralloquisli Mahonietanism, and drink wine in public. Poor Cobbett, I believe, was not very fond of saying his prayers, but he offered up an aspiration to the effect of blessing Heaven that we have a House of Lords! If he was an advocate for turmoil and confusion in his heart, he would not have offered up a prayer, which if granted, would better meet his wishes in that respect ; for the conduct of that irresponsible House of Lords, for the possession o f which he thanks Heaven, has been much calculated to stimulate revolution in the country.—(Hear.) Mr. Peel sai,! to me me, that the House of Lords was re sponsible to G o d. What satisfaction is that to us ? Are we showing them that individually, as well as collectively, they would be protected from their oppressors. No county in Ireland was more oppressed and harassed than the Quen's County. The grievances were so intolerable, that, in order to effect if possible some mitigation of them, he was impelled to join that Association. There was, in fact, no other medium through which any alleviation of what the people were suffering could be effected. There were a set of men in the county who assume the airs of aristocracy, but who really had no pretensions whatever to nobility. They were merely a beggarly, set of aristocrats, who exer cised the power they accidentally possessed in a manner the most insulting, harassing, and oppressive. There were more of this set of men—small and insolent squireens—in the Queen's County, than in any other county in the em pire. There were no real landed proprietors resident there to interpose between the people and their oppressors. He would mention one case to show. the spirit that per vaded the set of men he was alluding to. At the registry a few days since, where the law might be supposed to call on the subject to possess himself of an important constitutional right, a poor man came forward to register, when the land lord, who was sitting on the bench, improperly and inde cently told him not to attempt to register, and charged him with being led by a pack of agitators. The man did register, and because he did, he was served next day with an eject ment for rent which he actually did not owe.—(Cries of " Shame.") He mentioned this circum. trance in order to show what was going forward, and to claim the protection of the Association for the oppressed. The poor man, in this case, had a legal and good defence, and if he be protected the people would feel that they were not bereft of succour, and that their contributions to the rent were funds accumu lated for their own protection. There was one important point to which he would refer : he alluded to the tithe question. He begged Mr. O'Connell to point out to the people of Ireland, on a proper occasion, what was meant by a satisfactory settlement of the tithe question.—(Hear.) As far as he (Mr. Lawlor) could ascertain the feeling of the country, nothing would be a satisfactory settlement but the total abolition of tithe.—(Loud cheering.) It was said that if tithe were totally abolished, the landlords would have the entire benefit. That he denied. The tenants alone would reap the benefit. Before a Committee of the House of Commons, he was asked whether. land which was tithe free would let higher than land subject to tithe ? He granted it would; but that was because it was subject to the power of comparison ; but take away tt adt power of comparison, and leave all land tithe free .„, it would not.—( Hear, hear.) Ile gave, as an example, the operation of the rep ea l o f th e window an `!..nearth-money tax on the rent of houses in Dublin. Houses did not let higher after the repeal of thee, taxes than they did before. But allowing that tithe should go into the landlords' pockets, which it would not, but sunnesing it should, what was to prevent their laying on P. land or property tax to go to a . provision for the poor ?—(Loud cheering.) Such a tax, and such an application of it, would be quite consistent with the original intention of tithe itself. These opinions be held to be in aocordance with the feeling of the country. They were those which he, a tithe recusant himself, and a tenant, entertained, and in giving expression to them, he was confident he spoke the sentiments of the people of Ireland. Mr. O ' CONNELL then said—l.h rn always happy to hear the gentleman who was the Member for the Queen's County, and I am drably obliged to him now,. as he has given me three topics for explanation. The first regards the case of the person to whom he has just alluded, and I trust some attorney will take it up for him, and although the Association cannot contribute any funds to the support of the suit whilst it is pending, yet it can contribute to the support of' his family.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, in respect to the County of Kildare, and the Society which has been formed there, to which I alluded, I know of it only from what I have read in the newspapers, and I spoke of the individuals to whom I referred with the greatest re spect, and with a conviction that they acted with proper intentions. I only regret that they did not consult us be fore they committed themselves by the resolutions they adopted, and I hope they will allow me to alter them in snob a manner as will meet the views of this Association. , --(Hear.) I am sorry, as my friend has alluded to the tithe question, that he will not be here on Thursday, as I should feel glad if ho were present to hear the details re specting it, which I now withhold from respect to another gentleman. In regard to that question, however, we are in a predicament as to the Members of the House of Com mons. Some of them will agree to nothing but the total abolition of tithes.---(Loud cheers.) Now, I am for their total abolition, but I am also, as I was in the Catho lic Association, for takir ' " five shillings i n th e p oun d if we can get no m or e, and I always found it, when a man had an unwilling debtor, convenient to advise him to take the debt by instalments.—(Hear.) We have now a scheme proposed for the abolition of tithes, and the substitution, o f something else, to be paid by the landlords ; but let it be remembered, that we have also many patriotic men, who will agree to no compromise ; and we have others, amongst whom is the Member for Southwark, who will not agree to the abolition of one farthing of tithes, who insist that the entire shall be still paid, but who would take it from the clergy and keep it for state purposes.—( Hear, hear.) I fancy, however, that the people of Ireland will not agree with the latter class of persons, for I think they would be unwilling to pay the entire to any person.—(Hear.) Thus, however, we have patriots holding opinions in both ways ; but we are bound to use our utmost discretion, and not to lose a considerable advantage for a speculative greater good.—( Hear and cheers.) We are bound to realise as much good as possible for the people of Ireland, and till we can obtain more wo should not refuse the less.—(Hear.) I hope that these observations will not lead to any general discussion of the tithe question now, as it will form the subject of our consideration on Thursday. Tho meeting then adjourned at five o'clock, till Thursday. to wait until they are dead, for the chance of justice, and will it afford us gratification or consolation then to know they are damned I would not wish that any such misfortune should befall them. I wish to save them from such a con sequence of their conduct before it be too late.----(Hear.) I will give them a species of political absolution if they re form in time, and all their future punishments shall be re mitted by a plenary indulgence.—( Hear and laughter.) But enough of this ; we are called upon nnw to do some service for oursekes.—(Hear.) We have all Scotland with us. But our friends in England are in a minority. A minority, indeed, but great and powerful in wealth, talent, rank, and respectability. We may have a greater number yet with us even in England, and rank our friends there in a majority over our enemies. We will have our friends in crease there, because we want them much. We will work for ourselves, and we must be successful, and according as our success increases, so will th e num b e r of our friends.— (Cheers.) But we must exert ourselves.—(Hear.) " Hereditary bondsmen ! know ye not, Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow ?" (Loud cheers and laughter.) If you don't know that now there is no use in repeating it.—(Cheers and laughter.) Let us be determined in our opposition to our enemies, and true to our friends. Let us stand by the present Govern ment to a man.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Let no friend to Ireland tell me he will not support Lord Melbourne's administration.—( Hear, and cheers.) Lord Melbourne's Government has done all which has been done. It has worked whatever good has been effected for the people of Ireland, and though he compromised in some degree on the question of the Reform Bill, after it had been sent to the House of Lords, by tamely submitting to the omission of some of the clauses, yet it must not be for gotten here that the chief principle of his administration was justice to Ireland—(Hear, bear, and cheers) ;—and it is a strong position for any man in politics to advocate the cause of justice. People may laugh at the optimism which would require justice to be always at their sides, but I have ever found myself in a more firm and unanswerable position, and every other person will find it so too, particularly in po litical struggles, to be as much as possible in the right.— (Cheers.) This is the way in which we stand with regard to the House of Lords : we have the right of the case with us.—(Hear.) Now, I want the people of Ireland to join with me in one strong body. We will have plenty of assistance if we first assist ourselves. We shall have all the Scotch—we shall have, perhaps, a majority yet of the people of England. I want, as I said b fore, the people of Ireland also to join in the same phalanx ; and as we only want justice, they must be just in spite of them selves.—(Cheers.) We shall wash the blackamoor white, no matter what many may think.—( Hear, and laughter.) We have done so before ; we soaped the Duke of Wel lington and Peel until they came down to our terms, on the question of Emancipation, and we will do so again. —(Cheers, and laughter.) But now let us look to what we have before us.—(Hear, hear.) We have two things to do—we must excite the people to work for Ireland —(Hear, hear)—we must see that local associations are formed in every county, barony, parish, and town in Ireland, to put down, in the first place, every prospect of agrarian outrage—(Hear)—and to attend the registries. We must have in each parish two pacificators appointed, one by the clergyman, of whatever persuasian, of whose flock there is the majority in the place, and the other by the parishioners themselves.—(Hear, hear.) This Association is to be open for the inspection of all Magistrates, who are invited to in spect its proceedings, and every policeman who wishes to attend.—(Hear, hear.) And here let me say a word or two about an Association which I see some persons are forming its the county of Kildare. I do not mean to question their motives, but I think they might have condescended to consult this Association before they came to anv resolu tions, and have taken the advice and had the benefit of the experience of the many Barristers who were members of it, before those resolutions had been passed. They would not have been the worse of a communication with this Asso ciation. My friend, Feargus O'Connor, in this way took upon himself the barristership—(Laughter)—of the Radi cals of England ; and while in that office advised them to have affiliated Radical Societies. Now, he could not have advised them to any thing more illegal, but I don't think he intended the advice as such.—( Hear.) When I saw him next after this I told him he was entirely wrong. Well, he attempted to mend his hand then, and recommended them to elect delegates. I told him also he was equally wrong in this. I further told him the delegates of the Trades Union wruld have been illegal, although the delegates of the entire parishes in England would not. But I am bound to ob serve, that others blundered as well as Mr. Feargus O'Con nor ; and why should we not recommend them to relinquish the policy of acting for themselves, and come at once to the Association, the Committee of which will consider the mat ter maturely with them. I have said so much of Kildare, perhaps disparagingly of it ; but I feel it only justice to add, that I have seen the names of individuals of the ut most purity, integrity, and honour amongst them, and as incapable of doing any wilful wrong as any man in this Association.—(Hear.) I therefore felt it my duty to ex press my strong conviction of the honourable eharrieters of several of those individuals.—(Hear, hear.) But we will avoid committing any broaeli of the law.—( Hear, hoar.) We will give perfect publicity to every exertion. We will have two paciticators in every parish. They shall be fee fished with a weekly newspaper, containing the fullest de tails of our proceedings.—(Hear, hear,) 'We will act with them as we did with the churchwardens, in the time of the Catholic Association.--(Hear, hear.) They will be re sponsible for the peace and tranquillity of the different I'4- rishes : and any pacificator who allows a riot ( ~ r ilisturb ance to take place, will be deprived of his office, because he will be incompetent to discharge the duty which we will impose upon him, if he is not successful in suppress= ing riots and preserving the public peace.--(Hear, hear.) W e will go on then with petitions. I mean to propose— as I am beginning the work of the redemption of my coun try with renewed vigour —a series of resolutions, simple, and distinct in themselves, and includin g the topi c s whichl hav e a dd ress ed to you. I w ill rea d thm all at by t, outl put them afterwards to the meeting seriatim, They are as follows : Resolved, 1. " That the ohjects of this Association being to obt a i n , by legal and c ons tit ut i ona l means, the final ad justment, in a manner satisfactory to the Irish people, of the Tithe Question, and the complete reform of our cor rupt and profligate Corporations, it is necessary that im mediate means should be taken to have ready for presen tation to Parliament on the first day of the next Session, as many petitions and as numerously signed as possible." " 2. That for this purpose the Committee shall forth with prepare an address to the iasulted and outraged people of Ireland, and also forms and drafts of petitions for their consideration." This resolution should be the basis of all our acts, " 3. That the present administration enjoy the full con fidence of the people of Ireland, and that we know no lan guage sufficiently strong to express our admiration of, and gratitude for, the just, firm, manly, and impartial govern ment of his Excellency Lord Mu'grave, 4. " That under these circumstances we deem it the sa cred duty of the Representatives of the Irish People in Parliament to give their zealous support to his Majesty's Ministers upon all occasions that do not involve, if any such there should be, a direct violation of political principle." I wish to he understood, that I do not ask any Member of Parliament to support any Government at the express vio lation of public prineiple.—(Hear.) But subject to that necessary qualification, I do tell him that we would net be true to ourselves or our friends, if we did not proclaim this advice to the Members of Parliament.—(Hear.) These are the resolutions I wish to submit to the meeting. It is said that a great deal of business may be transacted in one day, and I now say that by the proposal of these resolutions much business has been done.—(Hear.) 'We will meet again upon Thursday —a very important question will be introduced for our discussion then. Before we discuss that question, namely, tithes, I will give notice of a motion, calling upon the assistant-registrars to be more active, and to increase the number of registered voters by renewed vigi lance—giving them more practical details—examining pri vately, not through the public newspapers, how far the gen tlemen can most efficiently extend the registry ; not making them responsible to the public for the management of tbr,ir private properties, but attaining our object more effectually and less observable in Committee, before whom gentlemen, without any InAho condescension, may inform us of the par ticulaP local circumstances connected with thelP properties. Thus, while we urge on those persons wha can register, we save from public exhibition those who honestly wish to re gister, but are so eircumoanced as to be incapacitated from doing Hoar.)

AGRICITLTURAL BANK (IRELAND.) D UBLIN , TUESDAY, NOV. 15. The Agricultural Bank sus pended payment this d ay The circum s t ances un d er which this course has been adopted may be learned from o ne of a series o f resoluti ons passed at a special meeting or the Board of Directors. " Resolved, that having paid in Dublin for notes and orders, since the 3d day of October to 14 th Nov em b er , up wards of 537,0001., and the Provincial Bank of Ireland having on yesterday (Monday), presented upwards of eleven thousand pounds for payment at the Royal Bank of Ire land, in notes and orders, and the Bank of Ireland having presented drafts and orders for up war d s o f ten t h ousan d pounds, the Board being deprived of the a ss i s t ance o f a ny of those Banks, considered it would be useless longer to struggle against a combinati on o f c i rcumstances, which, added to the peculiar crisis in the Money Market, rendered it essential , for the benefit of the shareholders and welfare of the country, to suspend the Exchanges in Dublin 'until the circumstances which led to the sudden pressure on the Company, duri ng t h e per i od mentioned, sha ll b e f u ll y in quired into and ascertained." 11 .esehrod--.._That it is but an act of justice to the Bank 91 Iroiand to state, that during the past week they gave anxious attention to the representations of the Directors as to the claims of this Company upon them as the char- Resolved—that the assets of the Company arc dun& antly ample to pay all the demands upon it, and to lead the paid-up capital of the Company untouched, but the lapse of the month will be necessary to allow the Bills fall. ing due to come in, and thus enable the full discharge or the Companies liabilities. . _ Resolved--That the National Bank of Ireland have, du ring the recent pressure, displayed a very laudable cnxietr fur the welfare dill° country, and the sustainment of publi o credit.

The Dublin Evening Post attaches great blame to the Bank of Ireland, and is charged with having not only been unequal to meet the crisis, but with having actually " pro voked a run for gold at some of their provincial branches— Sligo, for instance." And " that the panic which has now been created in Ireland is at least as much attributable to this establishment as to the excessive issues of the \Joint Stock Banks—if, indeed, these excessive issues have mot, in a great measure, been caused by the Bank of Ireland—if that Bank, in a word, instead of regulating the public cre dit—instead of sustaining it by a ratioual course of con duct—did not enter into competition with other Banks, with a view to working them by the liberality of their dis counts, and the rate of their interest," CORK.—In consequence of the run made on the Banks in Cork, the Merchants of that eit:,- refused to purchase in the market. Accordingly price:4, closed on Thursday, :and the deluded country-people wore obliged either to leave their goods in town or return * home loaded. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—The Wexford Magistrates have thought proper t 3 move the Court of King's Bench for leave to file a u.;iiriinal information against the editor and proprietor of: the Dublin Evening Post ; they obtained a conditional order. No notice was given to the defendant of the inten'aon to move the Court. COURT OP EXCHEQUER.—The gallery and all the avenues to the r jourt were filled with persons anxious to see Baron O'Lo,gblen take his seat. The Bar was also crowded with lawyers. At twelve o'clock Barons Pennefather, Poster, r..nd O'Loghlen entered, and took their seats on the Bench. ORASIGEISM REVIVED.—The Royal York Lodge, No. 982, Thos. Healy,.

Large quantities of potatoes are yet in the fields ; and the. fa r mers find much difficulty in getting them secured. Labou r ers are very scarce, and high wages are readily granted I o those who will assist in raising the crop, which, on many 41- tuations has been seriously injured by the ungenial state of the weather.—Northern Whig.

WRITS OF REBELLION.—The following, !occurred at the Court of Exchequer on Saturday : THE REV. ROBERT B. GREHAN V. MIT,HAEL HoGAN. Mr. Dickson, K.C., asked if notices 'would be discharged this day ? Registrar—Yes, unless saved. Mr. Dickson—Then, my Lords. I am counsel on behalf of Michael Hogan, now a prisOner in the Four Courts Marshalsea, committed there by your Lordships under a commission of rebellion, at Ulu suit of the Rev. plaintiff in this cause.

In the Court of King's Bench to-day conditional orders for criminal informations were obtained at the prosecution of the Rev. Solomon Richards and others, against Fre derick William Conway, Esq., the proprietor of the Dublin Evening Post, against Mr. Green, the proprietor of the Wexford Independent, and against the Wexford Freeman. The grounds were some editorial remarks instanced in each of the three journals upon the conduct of the prose cutors as magistrates, in not having suppressed some Orange riots which occurred in the county Wexford on the 12th of July last. In the Court of Exchequer, to-morrow, the re bellion cases will be argued before the full Court. Mr. O'Loghlen will take his seat on the Bench in the morning. Mr. O'Connell will appear as Counsel for e i ie wretched defendants. Between eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday morn ing, a female named Emma Rushworth was drowned off Horsleydown stairs. It appeared that the unfortunate woman was walking from vessel to vessel, which were lyino• off the above s t a i rs , w hen s he slipped and fell into the water, and before assistance could be procured she was sucked under some coal-barges lying by, and was drowned. The unfortunate woman was the wife of a seaman on board ong of the colliers. On Wednesday morning a pilot boat, manned by five persons, belonging to Montrose Waterside, in pro ceeding to sea by the narrow channel bet w i x t t h e S tone and the Ness, was struck and filled by the breach on the former, and in consequence went down. Fortunately a boat, pulling in the same direction, soon came up to the scene of the calamity, the crew of which snatched four of them from the fate that seemed to await them ; but the fifth, a youth of the name of Paton, sunk to rise no more. A Society called the St. James's Ornithological Society has been instituted, for the purpose of forming a collection of water birds in the garden of St. James's Park; and its operations will subsequently be extended to the waters in the other Parks, if the funds of the Society be found sufficient. The first object will be to exhibit a com plete collection of the, British species of the genus Anas of Linnaeus, from the swan to the smalleit of the ducks; both residents and occasional visitants. There can be no doubt of the expediency of rendering the public Parks as attrac tive as possible to the lower classes of the populati on; and although i n th e fi rs t i ns t a nce some mischief may be done to the collection by evil-disposed persons, the result . of the experiment as far as it has already been tried, we are told; is convincing that the hulk of the population is better dis posed to appreciate an attempt to amuse and instruct them, and we believe that ultimately the public will be the best protectors of any really public exhibition The Swiss female peasantry are exceedingly proud of their hair, which they generally ornament with red or white rosettes. Mr. Cooper, in his recent tour, informs big readers, that seeing an elderly woman with little or no hair, the guide told him that lie believed the frost bad killed it. Letters from Mr. Davidson, dated Wady-neon, July 20, state that he has arranged with the natives to be transported to Timbuctoo, along with his attendant, Abiou Bekr, who is a native of that place. He was only delayed by the want of a sufficient present for the sheikh of Wady noon. This, however, he expected from Englund by N.o vernber ; and, in the mean time, was training himself for his dangerous:expedition.—Literary, Gazette.
