And, really, after all i. said and done, The prize is slue to MOSES and his SON. Physic and temperance are very well, But good warm clothes abundantly excel. I wish it to be clearly understood — MOSES and SON have done my subjects glod. The manufacture of their warm attire, Excludes the cheerless storms of winter's ire; And many a cheek is decked with healthy roses, kly reason of the garments sold by MOSES. And hence (said he), the prize is fairly won By MOSES. ;n conjunction with his SON." With this he beckon'd Messrs. MOSES up, And handed them the prize—a golden cup. With hearty wishes for their long success, W. ile furnishing such admirable dress. MOSES and SUN with due obedience how'd, And took the prize 'mid acclamations loud. Giving his Majesty to understand That they have, still, a famous stock on hand. N. 0.

Sir Neil Menzies, Bart., of Menzies. David M. M. Chrichtoun, Esq., of Rankeilour. ROBERT CHRISTIE, Manager. The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Polities. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. WILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. 61 A, Moorgate-street.

Dummy, Nov. 11.—The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. Captain Broderick in the chair. The SECRETARY read the following lettter from Mr. O'Connell, which, although a private one, he would lay before the meeting. He had great pleasure in saying that it announced the receipt of 500/. from the friends in New York.—(Cheers.) " Darrynane Abbey, Nov. 7. "My dear Ray,—l send you a letter from New York, and an address to me from the repeaters of that city, together with a draft en Baring, Brothers, for five hundred pounds. I wish I could be per sonally present to reply to the address, an' to speak of the splendid support we receive from the true-hearted friends of Ireland in New York. Pray get Maurice to make commemoration of the generous liberality of our American friends. It will delight them to hear of the bright prospects that open before us of restoring the nationality of our beloved fatherland, by a combination of Irishmen of every sect and persuasion in the cause of Irish legislative independence. " Pay all honours to our friends in New York. " I intend, please God, to be in the Association on Monday, the 25th, in full health, and renewed anxiety to forward the cause of Old Ireland. " We had glorious hunting on Tuesday, sth, and to day, nothing could be more splendid ; the weather fine, the scent lying, and the cry magnificent and continuous from the start to the death, near two hours. " In my letter about the Rechabites, the word ' tents' is printed tenets.' The Rechabites caii their lodges tents.' Correct the copies you send to Scotland. Yours most sincerely, "T. M. Ray, Esq." " DANIEL O'CONNELL. He (Mr. Ray) had another communication to make from the Liberator, which he was sure would be re ceived with all the consideration which it deserved. He then read the following letter : " TO T. M. RAY, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL NA TIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. " Still shalt thou be my waking theme, Thy glories still my midnight dream, And every thought and wish of mine, UNCONQUERED ERIN, shall be thine.' " Darrynane Abbey, Nov. 8, 1844. " My dear Ray,—Under the present circumstances of the great repeal cause, and especially after the saga cious pause that has been made in direct agitation, I hope it will not be deemed presumptuous in me to give a direct intimation to the Association of-my in tention to attend their meeting on Monday, the 25th inst., that is, the day fortnight after this letter is read. "I preside at the election on the 25th, as Alder man of my ward; but, as there is no contest in the ward, the election will be over long before the hour at which the Association sits, and I will thus be ena abled to attend the meeting of the men to whom Ire land is chiefly indebted for the past progress of the great cause, and to whom history will attribute the principal means of the restoration of the Irish Par liament. _ _ _ ------- "My intention of attending the meeting of the 25th would not be sufficient to justify the parade of this announcement, but that its real object is to in form the members of the Association of my design on that day to bring for ward two topics of great and vital importance. " The first involves the subject of an application to Parliament fcr an impeachment of the persons principally concerned in the late Monster Prosecutions, and, in par ticular, to consider deliberately the propriety of address ing the people of Great Britain, in order to procure their aid in enforcing on Parliament the necessity of such im peachment. If such an address shall be agreed upon, it will remain to be determined whether it shall take place by personal attendance in England of a delegation of the Association, or through the medium of the press. " The second great object for the consideration of the Association on the 25th, is one which has engrossed much of my thoughts, and from which my mind is full of anticipations of great utility, fit can legally be arranged—l mean the appointment of a Preservative Society of 300. "It is quite true that the legal difficulties are very great ; the Irish people are oppressed by the tyrannous weight of the Convention Act—an enactment from the infliction of which the people of England are perfectly free. It may be worth while, by way of parenthesis, to remark, that the present connexion with England is called a union, though the people of England are free from the burden which thus most cruelly embarrasses the people of Ireland in their political exertions— " A union, forsooth ! ! "I shall not dictate either of these measures to the Repeal Association ; it is as little within my power as it is within my inclination to do so. They are subjects deserving the most grave consideration, and upon which the most honest of mankind may reasonably and fairly differ. "I invite the most earnest attention of the members of the Repeal Association to these topics ; that which presses most is the impeachment, because, if that be adopted, our arrangements must be complete before the sitting of Parliament, which will, most probably, take place in the first week of February next. Every fact connected with the management of the jury list must be investigated-and ascertained ; and I will, in „particular, call the attention oft* ASsociation to the canduct of the Recorder. At first I thought that he was not to blame, but farther reflection upon his most unnecessary journey to England at a most critical period, convinced me that the public are entitled to a strict a nd critical in q uir y into his conduct upon that occasion. The mode of his deportment in Parliament on the subject, dissatisfies my mind very considerably ; he cannot be allowed, as I think, to cover himself by his judicial situation ; he was ministerial as well as judicial, and, in both capacities, responsible to Parliament. " A full investigation is required, because if he had taken proper care that the jury list was duly made out, the jury trial upon that list would never be denounced by the highest legal tribunal in the land as a delusion, a snare, and a mockery.' " lie may be able to vindicate his conduct, but in quiry is absolutely necessary to satisfy the public mind ; and it is strongly my purpose, if approved by the Asso- elation, to have the entire case, including the Recorder's conduct, brought distinctly before Parliament. " There has been a longer pause in the repeal agita tion than I had anticipated, but I do not by any means regret it. There was in that pause a deference to the opinions of those Irishmen who differ from us, which was calculated, I think, to convince them how respect fully their opinions have been treated, and will be treated, whenever they join the ranks of the Repeal Association. It was an experiment we made, and I claim the merit of being one of the principal promoters of that experiment. If it had been immediately successful, its importance is almost incalculable ; it would have produced two things; first, the enunciation of a specific plan which Protestant gentlemen of fortune, rank, talent, and patriotism, deemed most useful to remedy the admitted grievances, the poverty and destitution of Ireland, and to give to her the power of domestic legislation in all affairs relat ing to her own concerns. It would, secondly, have given the opportunity to us, thorough and out-and-out re pealers, to show courtesy and conciliation where we differ with the federalists, and also our readiness to concede everything for that conciliation, consistent with our great and immutable principle of Irish nationality. • " This experiment has not been as yet successful ; the federalists have not come forward with any specific plan, they have made no public movement, they have effected no organisation among themselves ; our notions as to their plans are purely conjectural. " It would, under such circumstances, perhaps, have' been better if a perfect silence had been adopted by those who formed particular ideas of what federalism meant, and thus opposed the creature of their own imagination. " But I am far from thinking that those who adopted the course different from that which I should have ad vised, were therefore in the wrong ; this much, however, is certain, that the discussion, if it were prematurely en tered into, was at all events conducted with good temper and civility ; no improper motives were imputed by the dissentient repealers to the federalists. " The experiment, it is true, has not as yet been suc cessful, yet I think it has afforded grounds of confident hope, and pleasing anticipation of future and complete success. " These things have been ascertained— " First —That there are a number of Protestants, of various classes—but in particular of rank and station— who are as dissatisfied with the working of the Union statute as I am, and who are as convinced as I am of the iniquitous means by which the union was effected ; who, the and n d p l r r e e s l e a n n t d political is essentially also, are as thoroughly persuaded as I a m th a t t h e mi sery and destitution of the Irish people must continue, con nexionan dau grnent between y early,Gretl unless Britain altered. " It is well to know this fact—the declaration of Mr. Grey Porter is decisive upon it, and I am bound to say that I have abundant reasons to be convinced that the abhorrence of the present union is more extensive among the wealthier classes of Ireland, especially the landed proprietors, than Mr. Grey Porter was aware of. " The second important fact ascertained is, that if, or whenever the fed e ralists sh a ll announce their plan, it will be received with deference and respect, it will be discussed with coolness and temper ; and if we are com pelled by our great principle of nationality to reject it in part, or in the entire, it will be rejected in a manner of the most conciliating courtesy. " Thirdly. It is also ascertained that if the repealers should find the plan of federalism is • one by which Ire laud could get all that simple repeal could give her, and something mere, that in such case the federalists will be permitted, and even solicited, to take their natural sta tion, according to their talent, wealth, and rank, at the head of the movement. " Let me, then, tell my fellow -countrymen that our experiment has not totally failed ; it must necessarily leave behind it tan i • mpression of the entire absence of any angry, irritating, or vexatious spirit among the re pealers. Yes, and an impression, also indelible, of our anxiety for conciliation and harmony amongst Irishmen of every class, creed, persuasion, and political principle. " I think it right to express my very strong opinion that we should have had a very powerful federal demon stration, if the English Whig party had not succeeded in stifling it for the present. There is something exceed ingly ludicrous in the fact, that whilst the English Tory press were abusing the Whigs, and abusing me for having, as they untruly alleged, entered into a compact to sub stitute federalism for repeal, and to assist in bringing the Whigs again into office, the Whigs were, at that very time, counteracting every effort of mine to procure a de claration from the federalists, and they actually succeeded in preventing a federal declaration—which, I believe, would have long since appeared but for their antagonist exertions. " There is another thing certain, that whether or not we shall have any other federalist make an appeal to the Irish public, Mr. Grey Porter has, in his pamphlet, pledged himself to produce his plan of federalism before the end of the present year, and, judging from his cha racter, it is to the last degree probable that he will re deem that pledge. Let us, however, in the meantime, exert all our energies to forward the repeal cause, as if this interlude had not occurred. "It is quite true that, according to the constitution:of the Repeal Association, federalism is an open question, and we have admitted as avowed federalists many individuals of the first respectability—for one instance, the Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy, the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe—yet, I am very decidly of opinion—and as respectfully sub mit that opinion to the Association—that it is much bet ter 1.0 cur exe, i,:utts es.l, and confine. our efforts to the restoration of the Irish without seeking anything further—marking, however, distinctly, the limit between simple repeal and federalism. " Simple repeal, I take it, consists in this— " First. On the preservation of the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland, through the means of a sole executive and the golden link of the Crown. " Secondly. In the repeal of the Union Statute, 50th George 111., chap. 47. " Thirdly. In the restoration of the Irish House of Lords in all its integrity. " Fourthly. In th re-construction (upon Reform prin ciples) of the Irish House of Commons, consisting of 300 members, distributed upon the basis of population, that being the basis adopted in the English Reform Bill. " Fifthly. That the restored Irish Parliament should have all the powers which were vested in the Irish Par liament before the union ; that is to say, complete legis lative and judicial authority in Ireland. " I think it right to state my thorough conviction, as well as my perfect determination, that we should never consent to receive less for Ireland than what is contained in these five propositions ; this would be giving Ireland to the Irish ; but it would give them no further share in the advantages of British connexion. It will, however, amply content me, because the Irish Parliament would have in itself inherent means of opposing the abuse of Great Britain of the powers which are vested in the Bri tish Crown, and in which the late Irish Parliament here tofore had no share. " I repeat, thus much I require for Ireland—complete legislative and judicial authority vested in the Crown, and the restored Irish Houses of Lords and Commons. t never entered into my mind to accept of less, and it never can. "It may be right here to remind the Irish p eo p le of a fact, that there were seventy no mination borou g hs in Ireland before the union. All these would have been swept away at the time of the Reform Bill in England, if Ireland then had her own Parliament. They will, of course, be considered as annihilated, and so much of the Union Statute as sweeps them away, would be re-enacted by the Act repealing the Union Statute itself. " There is one inquiry which the people of Ireland have a right to make, and which I am ready to answer. " What occasion has there been to raise the question of federalism, I, myself, being content with the restora tion of the Irish Parliament in a reformed shape ? " My answer is—that it is a duty which I owe to the people of Ireland, to obtain for the struggle for the re. storation of their Parliament all the strength, power, and energy that I possibly can accumulate in that cause ; it is my sacred duty to show to the British empire, and to the world, upon what slender foundation of support the Union Statute is based ; to demonstrate to the British Ministry and British Parliament, the universality of the disgust which pervades Irishmen of every class, at being deprived of any share in the government of their own country. I demonstrated by means of the monster meetings of last year how intense was, and is, the anger of the Irish people at the loss of their national independence, and how peacefully, but fixedly, determined they were, and are, never to relax their exertions until the Parliament shall be in College-green again—and now it is equally incumbent on me to procure, if possible, a similar combination among the wealthier classes, and particularly among the Protestant nobility and gentry, for the restoration of our rational independence. " There is no taunt—there is no reproach—there is no calumny that I am not cheerfully ready to endure, if I am able to procure the support of such of the Protestant nobility and gentry as have not yet joined us in seeking the repeal of the Union statute. " There is nothing short of principle which I would not sacrifice to obtain the support of the Protestant gentry : I desire to place them at the head of the movement, that all fear of religious ascen d anc y m ay be done away with for ever, and the rep ea l o f th e un ion rendered secure. " But the. repeal o f the unictn, n order to be useful to Ireland, should ha ve t h e assent of nearly all, per popula tion, clergy, nobilit y , ge n t ry , ' and laity of every class, creed, and persua sion . l am recru iting sergeant for the i Irish people, and-whilst I beat up for recruits by every argument convincing and conciliatory, and in the sacri fice of everything but principle, the success of my plans may be postpo ne d ; but I think I am quite sa fe in de claring that such success is not remote or uncertain. " The chief argument against repeal, used especially by the class I allude to, is that the restoration of the Irish Parliament would necessarily tend to a separatio n between the two countries—a power f u l argument, if true. They (the non-repealers) assert that the repeal of the union would leave many questions unsettled between Ireland and Englard—that Ireland would have no con trol over treaties with foreign Powers—over the appoint ment of the Executive—that is, of the British Ministry —or over the management of the colonies, or other im perial concerns ; and thus, that numerous international and hostile questions would arise, tending to create a civil war between the two countries, and leaving Ireland to no other choice than submission to British conquest ; or, by a successful revolt, throwing off British connexion, and the allegiance to the British Crown. " Unhappily, there is a great difficulty in persuading the persons who take up these ideas of their futility ; it is infinitely better to discuss with them in perfect temper and kindliness, the remedies they themselves propose — that; remedy consists in a federal congress upon some plan as yet undefined, to give Ireland a potential voice in the regulation of foreign treaties—in the checks on Ministerial power—in the management of colonial affairs, and in all other imperial concerns. " It is quite true, that in striking out the plans for such congressional powers, many difficulties will arise, and many conflicting interests will have to be consulted. This may tend to render the arrangement more difficult to be effected ; but if federalism shall bring to our aid a great force of the Protestant nobility and gentry, more than equivalent to those difficulties, the gain will be en tirely on the side of Ireland. " I confess I should be glad to see a plan that would give Ireland an effectual share in the arrangement of foreign treaties. In that case the linen yarns of Belfast would be in no danger of being sacrificed to the inte rests of the makers of cutlery in Sheffield and Bir mingham. " Again, look to the colonies, read the names of the official persons in those colonies, you will find very many English, and, above all, plenty of Scotch, but scarcely one Irish ; and if there be an Irishman among them, it is in all probability some renegade, who has sold his country for a colonial bribe. " Then, as to the state of religion in the colonies, the religion of the people of England is protected in the co lonies, so is the religion of the people of Scotland ; but the religion of the people of Ireland is scantily tolerated; for example, in Newfoundland, the Protestantßishop has a salary from Government of 5001. a year, while my rev. will which h esi t friend, the Rig ht Rev. Dr. Flemin g , ha s a salary of only 501. a year, tho u g h his duties are in the inverse ratio of the salaries. " I have thus shown that I seek fo r Ireland the full er take less had before e the union, that is , final le g islative an d judicial authority her b f, e )r u et the eo t moI Irish is t st h hi c e rir,:iepieiaaml Parliamentoe rft t th :i union,than a that that and the r e st ora ti on o f Ia t w in Ireland. .. But, if I can g et more for Ireland, if I can, in addi tion to her legislative independence, procure for her, by means of a federal arrangement, a direct interference as to foreign treaties, and a direct and unequivocal powtr in colonial affairs, I will not refuse the advantages and authority which may be tendered to Ireland, as addi tional links in the connexion with Great Britain. " In fine, fellow -countrymen, the pause of experiment is over ; let us rouse again for the peaceful contest—a contest not to be suspended until the Parliament is again in College-green with all its ancient authority and ju risdiction. " HURRAII, THEN, FOR THE REPEAL ! ! ! " I have the honour to be, your faithful servant., " DANIEL O'CONNELL." The SECRETARY again said he had another im portant communication to lay before the meeting, It Was an address from the Complet e S u ff rage So ciety to the Repeal Association, and was signed by that excellent individual Joseph Sturge : " TO M. RAY, SECRETARY TO THE NATIONAL REPEAL AS3OCIATION, DUBLIN. " Esteemed Friend, —In forwarding the inclosed ad dress, it is scarcely necessary for me to say that the opi nion I long ago publicly expressed in favour of federal ism remains unchanged. " I earnestly hope that the question will • have the deli berate and candid consideration of every true friend of " Fellow-countrymen,—We have watched with deep interest the progress of your efforts to obtain, by peace ful and constitutional means, the right of self-govern ment for your long injured and oppressed country ; and we have seen with admiration that even while you were nationally insulted by the unjust and, as it has proved, illegal imprisonment of your great leader, you were not for one moment betrayed into any act of violence ur outrage. We rejoice in the great moral triumph you have thus far achieved. We cannot but view it as indi cating that the blessing of Divine Providence will con tinue to rest on the course you are pursuing, and we cor dially respond to the sentiments of Daniel O'Connell, that every change of political institutions should be effected by exclusively moral and peaceable means,' and that no amelioration, however in its nature valuable, in the laws or government, should be purchased by any one crime or sin of ever so small a degree, and, above all, is not worth the purchase by the loss of one single life.' " As we are associated for the simple object of pro moting, by peaceable and Christian means, an equality of political rights to our fellow-countrymen, it would be cut of ottr province. in our cOltective capacity, to take any part in the movement now going forward for fede ralism or repeal; but we consider that the present is an appropriate time for expressing our conviction that the announcement made in Daniel O'Connell's letter of the 2d ult. forms a ground on which millions of youreountry - men on this side the Channel can cordially unite; but we would, at the same time, have it distinctly under stood, that, in our judgment, no system of federalism can be established on a firm and stable basis which is not built on that solid principle of representative government, which recognises the right of every man, irrespective of any pecuniary advantages h - 0 - may possess, to an equal share with every other man in the representation. Hap pily, on this point we are not only united in principle with a great majority of our Irish brethren, but in the details by which the principle should be carried out; for, in the address of the Repeal Association to this union, dated August 15, 1842: "' 1. We agree with you that the right of suffrage should be complete; that is to say, that every male adult, unaftlcted by insanity, and unstained by the turpitude of convicted crime, should have the power to vote for a re presentative in Parliament. This is what is called by some " Universal Suffrage," yet this is an inaccurate de nomination; but, by whatever name it may be called, we are for the thing itself—the power to every male adult, unconvicted of crime or insanity, to vote for a represen tative in Parliament. We insist that this is a right, a constitutional right; and we further insist with you that in point of constitutional doctrine. the right of every man to vote for his representative, is, in point of justice and equity, perfectly equal to any privilege of the peer age, and the title of the monarch to the throne. The de privation of the masses of the people of this right has degraded Englishmen, by dividing them into two classes —a master class, who are allowed the exercise of the right of voting; and a slave class, who are robbed of their right of voting. Shame upon any Englishman who will tamely submit to this robbery and insult. " 2. We entirely agree with you upon the absolute necessity of vote by ballot. Accompanied by complete suffrage, it will render bribery totally unavailing, and therefore impracticable. The ballot will render intimi dation utterly impossible. By means of the ballot the vote will belong unconditionally to the voter himself, to be disposed of in the manner he shall conscientiously prefer. Besides, the method of voting by ballot will ne cessarily prevent rioting and violence at the poll—it will secure the peaceable exercise of the right of voting. " '3. We entirely agree with you upon the principle of equalising the electoral districts. Nothing can be more absurd than that Harwich, with less than 200 voters, should have as many representatives in Parlia ment as the West Riding of Yorkshire, with 36,000 voters. It is really degrading to human nature to acqui esce in a system which gives to 200 persons the same influence in granting supplies of the public money which is divided amongst 36,000 other persons. We therefore most heartily concur with you upon that principle which would equalise the electoral districts. " 4. We entirely concur with you that the property qualification of Members of the House of Commons should be abolished. It did nut exist in Ireland before the union. It does not exist in Scotland at the present day. It does not exist for the members of universities or the eldest rons of Peers. It is unequal as - well as un just, and should be immediately abolished. " 5. We acquiesce in your principle, that the Mem bers of Parliament should be paid their reasonable ex penses. It is the principle acted upon by several free nations, and we see no objection to its being carried into effect in these countries. " ' 6. We acquiesce in your principle of annual Parlia ments. If we had not been affected by your preference to annual over triennial Parliaments, we should, upon the whole, prefer the latter ; but political combinations can never take .place, efficiently without a. readiness on all pat ts In sacrifice some matter of detail ; we, therefore, in order to co-operate fully- with -you, sacrifice our pre ference to triennial Parliaments, and declare that we will go with you for the Along,- period, namely, annual. " To these sentiments we confidently hope the Repeal Association will steadfastly adhere. Though at the present moment the power to govern is in the hands of the few, there are no doubtful indications that correct views of the rights of the many are now spreading in circles where, at one time, very different opinions were entertained. Party distinctions are breaking up, prin ciple is more and more acknowledged as the true source of real national reform—the only ground on which the confidence and earnest co-operation of the non-elector can be maintained, and we are persuaded that there are peaceable and constitutional means—such, for example, as moving amendments on votes of supply—by which a comparatively few Members of the House of Commons could secure all your rights, if backed by the voice of the people of the United Kingdom. To secure their cordial union and support they must, in the first place, be satisfied as to the practicability of the means pro posed, and the honest and earnest determination of those in whom they confide to carry them into effect, so as to realise, in imperial as well as domestic legislation, full, fair, and free representation. " On behalf of the Council, "JOSEPH STURGE, Chairman. " 37, Waterloo-street, Birmingham, 11th month, 4th day, 1844." Mr. M. O'CoNNELL rose, and said he had to hand in 500/. received from New York.—(Loud cheers.) The lion. Gentleman then read the following letter to Mr. O'Connell, which accompanied the remit tance " New York, Oct. 15, 1844, " Dear Sir,—Again has it become a pleasing part 01 my official duty to make a remittance to the Loya National Repeal Association. I have the gratification of enclosing herewith a bill ofexchange forsool. sterling. "Of this amount, there were received from the re peelers of Fort Covington, Thomas Kearney, Secretary, 70 dolls. 7c., or 14L 7s. ; the repealers of Sag Harbour, Long Island, New York, 30 dolls. 50c., or 6L ss. ; the repealers of Astoria (second donation), ditto, ditto, 37 dolls. 25c., or 7L 12s. ; the repealers of Cold-spring, New York, James M'Mullen, President, Arthur O'Hara, Secretary, and Bernard Duffy, Treasurer (fourth dona tion), 100 dolls., or 201. 10s. " The intention of the New York repealers has, thanks to Divine Providence, been rendered unnecessary ; they had pledged themselves to liquidate the fine of 2,000 L, which, in addition to imprisonment, was so iniquitously imposed on the Liberator of his native land, leaving to other Associations in the United States the honour of paying the fines of other captives. The decision of the House of Lords has reversed the judgment which con signed you to a prison, but it has not reversed the deter mination of the New York repealers to contribute the 2,000!., of which sum the present remittance is the first instalment, and which they desire to be applied to the great national objects you have in view. "The friends of repeal—of civil and religious liberty —throughout the world rejoice at your triumph and at the discomfiture of your enemies. You have suffered persecution for justice sake, and now enjoy the reward of beholding the entire failure of every scheme to crush the repeal movement, which either Tory ingenuity could suggest, or its malevolence desire. The monster indict ment has turned out to be a monstrous humbug!—' a mockery, a delusion, and a snare and you are again in the possession of that personal freedom of which you were so unjustly deprived. " A congratulatory address from the New York Re peal Association on that auspicious event accompanies this communication, and I can with confidence say that it is an expression of the feelings which throb in mill►ons of hearts throughout the United States, rejoicing at the intelligence of your triumph and deliverance from capti vity. By a resolution passed at the last meeting cf our Association, at which Charles O'Connor, Esq., presided, the Executive Committee were directed to make arrange ments fur celebrating the triumph of the repeal martyrs, by a grand national festivity, which will speedily be carried into effect. " Hoping that you may soon realise the consumma tion of the glorious object to which your long and event ful life has been devoted—the elevation of Ireland to her proper rank among the nations of the earth, with her own domestic Parliament legislating for her wishes and her wants—an enterprise, to all appearance, some few years since, the most hopeless ever undertaken, but now certain to be attended with a success the greatest ever obtained by man, I have the honour to be, dear Sir, very faith fully and truly, your obedient servant, " BARTHOLOMEW O'CONNOR, Secretary, " United Irish Repeal Association, New York. " Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P." Mr. M. O'CONNELL rose to controvert some re marks having a tendency to palliate the murders which had been perpetrated in the south of Ireland, and dwelt on the folly and infatuation of committing such enormities, which he asserted called aloud to Heaven for vengeance. It was received as a political axiom amongst Irishmen, that " the man who committed a crime gave strength to the enemy," and he could therefore have no hesitation in branding as a traitor the wretches who would be guilty of such enormities as he had alluded to.—(Hear.) Mr. DoUENNY (barrister) having handed in a sum of money from the county of Tipperary, urged the union of all parties for the benefit of their common country, and denied that the Catholics ever aimed at obtaining an ascendancy. After some routine business had been disposed of, Mr. M. O ' CONNELL announced the rent for the week to be 8381. 16s. 3d. The meeting then adjourned. REVISION OF THE JURY LISTS—THE STATE TRIALS. Shortly aftpr nine deloek this morning, the Right llonourable the Recorder opened his Court, for the second annual revision of the jury lists of this city. Mr. Clements appeared as counsel, and Mr. Mahony as solicitor for a portion of the public. Mr. Mahony applied to the Recorder on a matter which was deeply interesting to the public, and partly personal as related to his Lordship, as well as to him (Mr. Mahony). It arose out of a circumstance at tending the revision of the jury list last year ; and he now asked his Lordship to institute a full and search ing inquiry into the facts attending the abstrac tion of a number of names from that list, from which the special jury in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others was struck. The RECORDER said he had no jurisdiction to in quire into such matter. This was not the place for it. He regretted very much that anything irregular had been done ; but it was not in his power to open any further investigation in relation to that circum stance. Mr. Mahony said that he courted a full investiga tion, as slanderous imputations had been made against him and others; and he hoped that, for his Lordship's own sake, and for the satisfaction of the public, whose interests were involved in the protection of the trial by jury from all taint or impeachment, that he would open the inquiry suggested. The RECORDER had to repeat that he had no power to do anything now, but proceed with the business for which they had assembled there. He had investi gated all the circumstances attending the missing names after the last revision, and while he deeply regretted what had occurred, yet, as he stated else where, there was no moral blame to be attributed to any one, while there certainly was gross neglect. Mr. Mahony had then to call the attention of his Lordship to a matter personal to himself, and which he doubted not his Lordship would explain. He found that in the jurors' bopk, printed by order of the House of Commons, at page 79, and in reference to several names in St. Audeon's parish, a marginal note was appended by his Lordship to this effect : "Amended by Recorder, Ist January, 1844." Now, he (Mr. Mahony) begged to know by what authority it was that his Lordship undertook to amend, or in any way alter, the lists, which were legally made up and finished in open court, arid delivered over by him to the sheriff, on the 28th of December? The RECORDER replied that after the list was sent to the High Sheriff, it was discovered that four names had been wrongly placed ; whereupon he (the Re corder) wrote to the Clerk of the Peace, desiring him to amend the list, by altering those names, which was done accordingly. His note, on that occasion, he understood, was ready to be produced. Mr. Dickenson, ',the Clerk of the Peace, then pro duced the Recorder's letter, and observed that it had been long since published in the newspapers, and was therefore known to the public. The RECORDER said that what he did he conceived was in accordance with his duty, and he thought if a similar circumstance again occurred, he should feel bound to act in a similar manner • but this, he con ceived, had nothing whatever to do with the question of the dropped names ; that circumstance never should have taken place. He regretted it very much, but he had no doubt it arose from inattention or negligence. He could not account for it, nor did he think any one else could. He had, therefore, no hesitation in g s r y e i t n te g d t . hat it was an accident which was to be re- Mr. Mahony said he was glad to hear his Lord ship's explanation, and he considered he had full authority to have corrected all the errors and omis sions in the lists he made up twelve months ago, though the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland de cided the reverse, in presence of his Lordship, and he hoped that there would be no future cause for designating trial by jury in Ireland as a " delusion, a mockery, and a snare." The revision then proceeded. MEETING- OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC MR. SA MUDA, THE ENGINEER, AND SIX MEN KILLED, AND FIVE OTHERS DANGEROUSLY INJURED. An accident, in its effects fatal to seven persons, and most serious to five others, and in its details shocking in the extreme, occurred off Blackwell last evening, in consequence of a steam explosion on board a new iron steam-boat, named the Gipsy Queen, built by the firm of Samuda and Co. (the senior of which is the chief victim), for the 'Waterford Navigation Company. From the naturally confused state of the surviving parties, arising from the sudden transition of their companions and friends, a moment previously in the full vigourof life, to the awful and irrecoverable state in which many of them now are, the particulars of the occurrence could be ascertained only with great difficulty. It appears, however, that the steam-vessel, which previously had been only partially tried in Bow Creek, near Blackwell, came out from the creek yes terday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, in command of Capt. Price, and with Mr. Jacob Sa muda, the constructor of both the boat and engines, a friend or two, and a number of workmen belonging to the factory of Messrs. Samuda, on board, made her first trial trip down the river, as far as Woolwich. She returned at five o'clock, and was moored to the buoy off Black wall, the result of this trial having been sa tisfactory to the parties on board. The Gipsy Queen is about 600 tons burden, and has paddle-wheel engines equal to 300 horse-power. Her engines are of a peculiar character, the invention of Messrs. Samuda. They are what may be termed " bell-cranked" engines, and, as we are informed, in • stead of the ordinary beam, the beam of the Gipsy Queen is divided in the centre, each half being socketted in the other, with connecting rods at each end working at an angle, instead of perpendicularly ; there being two bearings in the centre, instead of one. Another peculiarity in these engines is that they are placed fore and aft—one before the other, and not side by side, as is usually done. The boilers, vt hich are tubular, were constructed to bear 401bs. pressure on the square inch, but during the trial they had not b e n weeked to more than half thllt press . e..re, As soon, however, as the vessel had arrived at Blackwell, it was determined to try the boilers at a pressure of 251b5., and it is said the safety valve was set accord ingly, not the least danger being apprehended. Mr. Samuda, with the engineer, the foreman of his fac tory, and a number of fitters and others, were present in the engine-room to see the operation, when, abcut ten minutes after five o'clock, the unfortunate catas trophe took place. A slight explosion was heard by the persons as sembled on the Black wall Pier, and on all eyes being turned in the direction of the Gipsy Queen, the his sing of steam was heard, and the vapour was seen issuing from all parts of the engine-room. The cause was speedily imagined, and Captain Routh, the Director of the Black wall Railway, and several others, raised a loud shout for boats to put off to the assistance of those on board. But it was some time before any could be procured, and meanwhile the persons on the pier became most anxious. As soon, however, as boats could be obtained they put off to the steamer, and the result of the explosion was quickly known by the return to the pier of two boats, with five men in them dreadfully scalded and dis figured, and from them the intelligence was gathered that they had escaped up the ladder at the time of the explosion, and had left several of their com- • panions in the engine-room, amongst them Mr. Sa muda, sen. This information much increased the excitement ashore. Women rushed down to the pier to ascertain the fate of their husbands and friends, and Mr. Joseph Samuda, who had become ac quainted with the then imperfect rumour, was also on the barges in a state of mind bordering on distraction. What with the rain, which fell violently at the time and the darkness of the night, the occupants of the Black wall Pier presented a very woeful ap pearance ; and so eager were they to learn the worst, that it was with great difficulty some other serious accidents were prevented by the parties who had charge of the barges, as the people were pressing to the very edges. On board the Gipsy Queen it was impossible, from the escape of the steam, to descend to the engine room, and axes were procured as soon as possible, and the decks were cut up in order to allow the steam to disperse more rapidly, and thus half an hour elapsed before the fate of those in the engine-room was ascer tained. When that place was sufficiently free from steam for the persons on deck to descend into it, it disclosed the bodies of seven men in the most ghastly condition. They were quite dead, and lay in various positions. The unfortunate sufferers were : Mr. Jacob Samuda, Mr. Dodds, engineer of the vessel ; Mr. Scholefield, an engineer ; James Slanders, fitter ; Thomas Nugent, apprentice ; John Newman, stoker, awl another man whose name we could not ascertain. On examination, it would appear that the accident was caused by the bursting of the steam from the main pipe at a joint. The connexion of the main steam-pipe with the foremost engine is effected by a " stuffing-box," which renders the joint, where there is any vibration, more secure. The pipe at this stuff ing -box, which in its right place led downward to the floor of the engine-room, is now turned up to wards the deck. The steam in its course, it is evi dent, must have found vent here, and, without any warning, must in its bursting out have dealt the dis astrous consequences which the flour of the engine room presented. Mr. Satauda, with those who have perished, must have been standing near this stuffing-box at the time. Several had left the engine-room just before for the deck, and the five who are so seriously injured were going up the ladder. The whole force of the ex plosion was therefore encountered by the seven de ceased. The bodies were literally boiled, their hair was stiffened and standing straight from their fore heads, the features all puffed and some of them dis coloured, and the teeth of many displaced. Mr. Sa muda was more disfigured than the others, and seemed to have offered the greatest resistance to the devas tating power. The stoker had a severe contusion over his right eye, and his shoes were found scorched on his feet. The bodies were taken ashore, and to the ware house of the Black wall Railway Company, and were subsequently removed to the bonehouse at Poplar, to await a Coroner's inquest, which it is expected will be held this day. The injured persons were :—William Ryley, fore man of Messrs. Samuda ' • Charles Mills, boiler-maker of their establishment; James Hill, ditto; William Donovan, stoker; and a stoker whose name did not transpire. Ryley was much scalded and scorched about the head. The stoker had his hand very much shattered. It is feared that one or two of them are in a very dangerous state. They were taken to the Blaekwall Railway, where every attention was paid them,by Captain Routh, and as soon as possible were removed to the London Hos pital in an omnibus. Many are the interventions of Providence recorded in favour of persons on board at the time of this sad occurrence. Mr. Samuda had, a minute before, sent a man, an engineer named Lowe, on deck (who thus escaped), to look at the steam pipe, and he had scarcely moved two steps from the compawn-way before the explosion took pace. The concussion, though not loud in report, was so severe as by the vibration to lift the persons who were on deck off the boards. Mr. Samuda, we understand, is unmarried; but several of the deceased and of the sufferers have wives and families. The estimated pressure to which it was intended to raise the steam was 251bs. to the square inch ; but when a boat is lying still, as was the case with the Gipsy Queen, the steam rises so rapidly that a minute or two makes a very great difference in the amount of pressure, none being consumed at the time by the engines. The Coroner's inquest will, however, sup ply all the particulars necessary to form a correct udgment on the matter. BISHOPS. Most of the Roman Catholic prelates have arrived in town, to attend the annual conference, which is to commence to-morrow, in the presbytery attached to the cathedral in Marlborough-street. It is:stated that the subject of the appointment of Roman Catholic Commissioners, under the Charitable Bequests Act, will engage the attention of the prelates assembled on this occasion.
