He reminded them, as 'f men who loved their country and - fevered Mr. O'Connell', to regard the advree - onhat great and influential man, who had done so much fur the people of Ireland. 'lle conjared them to follow that advice, not merely in ab staining themselves from all connection with those so cieties—for that he was sure all who heard him would do—but they must also go farther ; they must use all their best endeavours to prevent others from joining in. those illegal confederacies. Let them follow the advice of the Liberator in keeping the peace—in preventing the introduction of illegal societies—and there was no doubt he would lead them to greater moral victories than he had yet achieved." The chairman concluded hii-7eri%'— quent appeal by calling again on each person to act in his own neighbourhood as a guardian of the publi peace, and he highly commended the determination of the repeal wardens to inquire into any suspicions cir' cumstance which might come to their knowledge, and yea commended that they" should denounce and hand over'tit , the proper authorities any person whom they had resaoSs to believe to be connected or engaged in introducing these infamous societies, or otherwise concerned in dis turbing the public peace." THE BEQUESTS ACT—POPULAR EXCITE MENT. The Drogheda Argue, in noticing the agitation con nected with the Charitable Bequests Act, and the ru mours of a concordat, makes the following remarks:— " We disapprove of all personal attacks upon the bishops who are commissioners—we are and have bees opposed to the imputation of any corrupt motive to any one of those prelates ; nor do we now offer any argt ment upon the Act alluded to. We care not what opi nion may be formed of the Act as regards the object' of our present address; what we now deplore is the results which have already sprung from it. We again repeat; the connection of these prelates with the Bill has robbed them of that confidence, love, and respect which are es sential to their efficient teaching and preaching of the Gospel. Feelings of the most deplorable character have been evoked on 811 sides. The vast majority of the Ca tholic people of Ireland entirely differ with those rens rable bishops—too many have given expression to their feelings in a manner the most painful to those Who like ourselves, are imbued with a deep veneration for the priestly order ; and still more admit those feelings to harbour within their breasts. The name of the Pri mate of all Ireland has been treated with disrespect, votes of thanks have been published to his assailants, resolutions refusing to place confidence in any one of the ibree prelates have been in very many plow* adopted. On the other side, foul calumnies have been rashly taken up and thoughtlessly circulated of a plot to take the life of the venerable Archbishop of Dublin. Another calumny was whispered that the venerable and the Learned Bishop, Dr. Kennedy, resigned through fear that he might be murdered. Near this town, in one of the Primate's own parishes, the people were prevented —we are sure without his authority or approval—from holding a meeting to petition, as they were permitted to do by the constitution of the realm, for a repeal of this Act ; forged leans, purporting to be from the' Holy Father of the Christian Church were circulated, as if he forbade the Catholic people to petition against the mea sure ; priest has been set against priest, and bishop against bishop. These are facts which cannot be de nied. We condemn all violence of surmise, of language, or of act towards the venerable bishops upon either side— we merely declare upon our own knowledge, and upon other credible evidence, that the things We have stated are true."

Grantley Berkeley is, therefore, like Mr. Newman, un willingly reduced to reason with oppenents, from the sheer impossibility of universal appliance in his own per son of that rhetorical action in the efficacy of which he alone confides. But alas, like Mr. Newman, he can have little hope of the (game-keeping) Church. Grantley Berkele , ys don't grow on every hedge, and don't lurk in every thicket. If they did, there is no doubt in the world every poacher would find his match. Country gentlenien would abandon the milksop idea of sleeping o' nights in their beds ; and arouse themselves—not in Puseyite fashion for nocturns or matins—but pro aris et focis (hares and foxes)—for manful conflict with midnight prowlers for game, or malicious foes of vermin. And the perfect gentle knight, or honourable, will find a most perfect gentle pattern of all that be ought to be, and must be, to preserve the Palladium of " a large head of game." As Imlac convinced Rasselas that it was impossible to be a poet, so Mr. Grantley Berkeley has all but convinced us that it is impossible to be a game-preserve r And this results from the irreceptivity in the game keeping mind of right principles of rhetoric. If these misguided men would but listen to Archbishop Whately and Mr. Grantley Berkeley I "I never," said the former—we beg pardon, the latter —" spake till I had struck, and then everybody else but two ran away, simply because they did nut know how many more there were behind me to play at the same rough game. However, talk to them as you will, teach them as you may, keepers never can be made to adopt this simple and humane plan, and that is the reason they get hurt. Here let me make a passing remark on a very great error into which magistrates, as well as the public, are apt to fall. They are quick to blame gamekeepers and policemen, if a prisoner shows any marks of punish ment, there being no corresponding appearance of blows on the persons of the captors. They are also (especially the public) sure to cry down as unnecessary the use of handcuffs. Now, to speak in homely downright old English phrase, there is nothing which banishes an inclination to commit murder or to be dan gerous, from a brutal mind, half so much as a simple, well-directed punch in the head.' All, or nearly all murderers are cowards : the sight of their own blood will prevent their shedding the blood of others. A game keeper, or a constable, need not wait till he is struck ; if he sees that a blow is thought of, he is justified in strik ing, to prevent his being struck ; for if he stands still to receive a blow, the force of it may prevent his fulfilling his bounden duty. Let me ask the public, which is the truly humane man, he who, by a timely, but not a serious blow, prevents an offender, whose custody the law demands, from committing murder, or the man who, from a false feeling, or from timidity, in any sense of the word, refrains from stepping in to thwart malevo lence, and so permits the larger crime to be committed? A little sharp and necessary severity does infinite ser vice ; it protects the servant of the law, and often saves an offender from plunging body and soul into deeper guilt. lam convinced that if there was more fighting and fewer words on the part of those legally assailing armed men, there would be infinitely fewer murders on the face of the criminal returns. I have been per sonally engaged," says the heroic Mr. Berkeley, " with poachers in twenty-six instances, by night and day, and always with success, having made it a rule to be the first to play at the roughest game. The old adage—' that one sword drawn keeps others in their scabbards,' would apply well on all these occasions." conded its adoption received the ree.r.ript, the proposer of the resolution and the most distinguished of those pre lates who have adhered to the national cause, were pre sent at the great Munster demonstration. Those emi- nent dignitaiees have proved that they are obedient chil dren of the Church; but they have also shown that they are prepared at all times to vindicate their rights of citizenship, and assert the perfect accordance between spiritual subjection to legitimate authority and the ut most freedom of municipal liberty. "It is desirable, nay, indispensable, that all ground for misrepresentation upon this grave subject should be re moved. It is necessary that the Irish people, knowing the whole truth, should be protected against the uneasi ness which might otherwise disturb them. With that objection in our contemplation, we shall collate from the speeches of the Archbishop of Tuam and the Bishop of Elphin, made by those eminent prelates at the Limerick banquet, passages which prove at once their eminently Christian spirit, and their devotion to the temporal as. well as the eternal interests of their flocks. We re-pro duce those passages at the present moment for another purpose also. The Cardinal Prefect, in the rescript we elsewhere publish, in adverting to the causes in which that document originated, uses these words, si reLsta sobsisterent—' if the representations made were well founded,' What the nature of those ' representations' must have been, we have abundant evidence in the transmission of the rescript. We quote those passages to show that those representations, made no doubt by Mr. Petre, must have beer, false. No doubt he has suc ceeded in persuading the ministers of the Holy Father that the repealers of Ireland are like the fraternity of Gonfalonieri, or the Carbonari of Apuleia or of Calabria. Men who have no theory of political change but that of force—who own no bond of unity unsealed by blood. We quote those passages to show to Rome, what we should hope is now known almost throughout Europe, that our motto, to use the emphatic language of the Bishop of Elphin, is, 'peace, order, and tranquillity.' " The Freeman's Journal, in illustration of its argument, quotes passages from the speeches of the two Roman Catholic prelates named at the Limerick repeal dinner. EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY.

KNIGHT DEHANY, ESQ., DECEASED. This delightful town residence was fitted up by the late re. raccted possessor, regardless of expense, with a fixed determination to secure every comfort a family of distinction can desire. That he succeeded " a merveille" will be perceptible at the first glance, since ingenuity would be puzzled to find a real want neglected. Of the situation, it may be desirable to observe that it is IN THE VERY CENTRE OF FASHION AND GAIETY, AND ON THE VERGE OF ROYALTY, and the tenure secures the possession, subject to the original ground-rent only, for a period. " STILL EXISTING OF EIGHTY YEARS." The outward form displays so much of architectural taste that it has long been the subject of unvarying praise, and within, will be seen (from a condensed statement about to follow) is without a single alloy. There are three upper chambers, for seven beds ;on the third story, three best bedchambers, and a commodite ; the second floor, three delightfully airy bedchambers, a dressing room, and comrnodite. The principal suite are of noble proportions, and the decorations quite in the present taste. The salon de coenpagnie is In communication with the stone colonnade and balcony, TWO NOBLE STONE STAIRCASES, and the paved hall, to which may be appended THE LUXURY OF HOT AND COLD BATHS, admirably placed, with a shower-bath in connexion with it. The grand entree is of superior character and design, with a noble stone staircase to the principal suite, a lofty salle a manger, 30ft. by I Sit., a library about 20ft. by UM., a gentleman's morning room, and commodite well placed. THE BASEMENT IS QUITE PERFECT, everything conducive to comfort, in its extended meaning, is pro minent throughout THE STABLE DEPARTMENT IS FAULTLESS. There are SEVEN CAPITAL STALLS, STANDING FOR THREE CARRIAGES, harness.room, with servant's sleeping-rooms over; and a depository fur hay and straw ; a garden alone separates them from the man. sion. There is water laid on throughout the abode and offices, indeed, the whole appears allied to comfort, although it is not in. tended to disguise the fact that a lady outrageously atraight.laced may, by dint of ingenuity, find the opportunity to display her tact in renovating some of the decorations. The purchaser will have the opportunity to take, at a fair valuation, THE ELEGANT FURNITURE AND APPENDAGES of every kind, and in the best taste, observing that Dowbiggin was the artiste in furniture.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 19 per mills, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce fer standard gold gives an exchange of 25 45 ; and the exchange a t Paris on London at short being 25 624, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. " How ludicrous is the state of ignorance of the public writers in England respecting the tone and temper of the Irish mind. They will now have it that the fervent anxiety of the Irish for repeal has cooled down, and been succeeded by some indifference. What folly ! There never were so persevering a people as the Irish ; and the English scoffers may rest assured that there will be no:relaxation of every means provided by theronstitution for agitating for the repeal until our Parliament is in College-green. A nation wills it ! A moral, a faithful, a persevering nation, wills it ! That nation has every stimulant'that a people can have to seek a great political change. There is no escape from insult and iojustice— there is no escape from increasing poverty and accumu lating destitution, but in the restoration of our National Parliament. The people of Ireland abide their time. They will keep within the law. The repealers will commit no crime. But, I repeat, they abide their time. " The wealthier classes in England are in great pros perity ; but it is admitted that the population is endur ing great privations and accumulated. sufferings. How often dote Irish repeat the proverb;- , ' Man's infirmity is God's opportunity,' and descending.to the smaller con ceits of thiklite, the fist 'hour of Thigland's infirpiitN from domestic or foreign causes, will assuredly be the last hour of Ireland's servitude. Ireland will then, as she did in 'B2, pay the price of her liberty to England by rendering the British Crown secure and triumphant, and giving additional strength and prosperity to the British people. Until then there will be no relaxation in the spirit and determination for repeal, and the Irish univer sal cry will continue to be, Hurrah for the repeal.'

The course of exchange at New York on London is 110/ per cent., and the par of exch ange b e t ween Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. and contiguous to the Regent's-park, which in its . domestic ar. rangements, offer the most complete and ample accommodation for a large establishment : the sleeping chambers, eight in number are spacious and airy ; the reception rooms of noble .proportions; whilst the ground doer possesses an excellent dining.room, morning room, bath room, &c.

DUBLIN, JAN. 13.—The Roman Catholic clergy of the arch-diocese of Dublin are to meet to-morrow, in annual conference, at the Presbytery in St. Michael and St. John's parish. It is understood that a petition, pre pared ,by Archbishop Murray is to be submitted for adoption, praying the Legislature to repeal the penal clauses against the regular clergy in the Emancipation Act. This, judging from appearances, is likely to be the commencement of a very general movement to relieve the regular clergy from the very severe and persecuting provisions of that Act. 3lessrs. Perry are in daily attendance, for consultation, at their re ridence, 19, Berners-street, Oxford.strect, London, from 11 till 2, and 5 till 8. On Sundays from 10 till 12.

STANDARD.----The letter of the Archbishop of Can terbury must go far in restoring peace to the Church. His Grace distinctly instructs his clergy to abandon all recent changes that have not been made with the general acquiescence of their respective congregations, and to attempt no new alterations. The command extends, in fact, to a prohibition of all the recent changes, though, for form's sake (no doubt), it is divided under three heads. First, as respects the case of churches in which the changes have been made with general acquiescence. 'rhere are no such churches ; but if there were any such, the public would have no right to complain that the con gregations should be permitted their superstitious indul gences even to the setting up of the mass. They would no more belong to our Protestant Church, than does the Roman Catholic Chapel at Moorfields. It is part of our religious liberty to allow all men to worship as they please ; and while our cathedrals and parish churches, chapels of ease, and other churches and chapels legally connected with the Established Church, are preserved pure, we have no right to complain. In none of these, however, have the recent changes been introduced without more or less of dissatisfaction, if not of resistance ; but either dissatisfaction or resistance is not general acquiescence. Next, the Primate enjoins that where changes similar to those made elsewhere have not been attempted hitherto, they must not be attempted hereafter. Thirdly, where the changes are still the sub ject of dispute, the dispute must be abandoned ; but the only party that can properly abandon the dispute—the party, too, over whom the Archbishop has more direct power—the party who is single against many—must be the party to submit, in order to ensure that " general acquiescence" which, under the first head, his Grace de scribes as indispensable to justify a continuance of the changes. A respectful but firm remonstrance from any considerable portion of any congregation must, in the terms of the injunction, be a conclusive reason for their discontinuance. His Grace is at great pains to console such as may be, or may pretend to be, dis tressed by the necessity of this sacrifice to peace, by telling them in the first place, that their interpretation of the rubric is by no means so certain as they may imagine. " Upon careful examination," says the Lord Primate, with a modesty deserving all respect and worthy of universal imitation, "I have found reason to think that some of these questions are more difficult of solution than is commonly imagined ; and " that the meaning which occurs at first sight is not always the most correct." The clergy have it, therefore, upon the highest authority in the Church, that the question of the rubrical interpretation is, at least, extremely doubtful, but "in dubiis presumitur pro neganti" is the rule of the civil law as it is the maxim of common sense—to " stand fast when we are not sure of our road " The doubts of the Archbishop of Canterbury must afford great relief to the distress of the rubricians; but his Grace has other topics of consolation, for he in timates that the practice of the last 180 year s is very proba bly the practice intended by the lawgivers of the Church. The opponents of the changes may, says the Primate, plead an usage opposite to the interpretation lately given to the rubric " reaching back to the time when the in tention of the lawgiver was best understood." Usa ge , as a Contemporary has remarked, is acknowledged the best interpreter orally law, but usage contemporary with the enactment of a law, and continued downward without interruption, is in every case decisive of the intention of the legislator. Another consideration which must not only alleviate the distress of the rubricians, but alarm such tender consciences as theirs, with a suspicion that their interpretation may be all wrong and the practice from which they would depart perfectly right. The most important, and what to really modest men would be the most effectual consolation is, the argumen tum ad verecundiam, as Mr. Locke calls it. "The most conscientious clergymen," says the Primate, " have felt themselves justified in treading in the steps of their pre decessors." We cannot go wrong in quoting Locke, and therefore we will transcribe his description of the argument here employed, because we think that it very exactly describes the state of the question before us : " First, the first is to allege the opinions of men whose parts, learning, eminency, power, or some other cause has gained a name, and settled their reputation in the common esteem with some kind of authority. When men are established in any kind of dignity, it is thought a breach of modesty for others to derogate any way from it, and question the authority of men who are in posses sion of it. This is apt to be censured, as carrying with it too much of pride, when a man does not readily yield to the determination of approved authors, which is wont to be received with respect and submission by others ; and it is looked upon as insolence for a man to set up and adhere to his own opinion, against the cur rent stream of antiquity ; or to put it in the balance against that of some learned doctor, or otherwise ap proved writer. Whoever backs his tenets with such authorities thinks he ought thereby to carry the cause, and is ready to style it impudence in any one who shall stand out against them. This, I think, may be called argumentum ad rerecundiam." " Pride," " insolence," " impudence," ere the rough names that Locke gives to the temper of those uninfluenced by the " argu mentum ad verecundiam." What name would Locke give to those who should not be influenced by the authority of the whole Church's practice for 180 years upon a question of interpretation which in the text interpreted, and apart from all external argument, appears to the learned and pious Archbishop of Canterbury to be extremely doubtful; and who should resist their metropolitan in a matter which, as he says, and as all rational men must agree with, has been advisedly left in a great degree to the discretion of the Church and its governors?—" It must also be granted that the intention of the Church is not always clearly discover a bl e f rom t h e l anguage o f the rubic, nor determinable with absolute certainty from the records of early practice. In such cases it may with some show of reason be said, that, as the eminent men to whom the several revisions of the Liturgy were succes sively entrusted did not see the necessity of giving direc tions so precise as to ensure a rigid conformity in every particular, we may be cont en t e d to acquiesce in slight deviations from rule, suggested by convenience, and sanctioned by long usage.' Here, then, surely, we have enough to rescue from distress the most sensitive con science. GLOBE.—It is recommended, in Whately's "Ele ments of Rhetoric," that oratorical action should precede rather than follow the words :—" Boys are generally taught to employ the prescribed action either after or during the utterance of the words it is to enforce. The best and most appropriate action must, from this circum stance alone, necessarily appear a feeble affectation. It suggests the idea of a person speaking to these who do not fully understand the language, and striving by signs to ex plain the meaning of what he has been saying. The very same gesture, had it come at the proper, that is the natural, point of time • might perhaps have added greatly to the effect, viz., had it preceded somewhat the utterance of the words. That is always the natural order of action. An emotion, struggling for utterance, produces a tendency to a bodily gesture, to express that emotion more quickly than words can be framed; the words follow as soon as they can be spoken. And this being always the case with a real earnest, unstudied speaker, this mode of placing the action foremost, gives (if it be otherwise appropriate) the appearance of earnest emotion actually present in the mind." The ac cordance of the above with the fitness of things must at once strike every reader. And it appears to have parti cularly struck the Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley —that is to say, providing always the Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley has read it. If he has not, the coincidence of his theory of rhetoric. with Archbishop Whately's only affords a fresh illustration of the adage that " Great wits jump." " A word and a blow," has hitherto been the expression of rciagh readiness for action. On the joint authority, /however, of Archbishop Whately and the Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley, the better reading, hence forth, will be "a blow and a word." The action should precede the word. " The reverse of this natural order," says the above-cited authority (not the Honourable but AiThiepiscopal) " would be sufficient to convert the ac tion of Demosthenes himself into an unsuccessful and ridiculous mimicry." It will not be the fault of the Hon. Mr. G. Berkeley, if any Demosthenes in dog -skin gloves shall henceforth have his action converted " into an unsuccessful and ridiculous mimicry." He has laid down rules of rhetorical efficacy, which carry cud in practice all that Aristotle, or Archbishop Whately, pro pound in theory. Nay, more, he has struck a new light in the philosophy of rhetoric altogether, " beyond all Greek, beyond all Roman fame. He has not only given new and varied applications of Whately's idea that action ought to precede words, but he has reached the sublime discovery, that action may be made so rhetorically efficacious, as to dispense with any words at all i Lord Burleigh's shake of the head must henceforth rank second, longo intervallo, to the Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley's punch in the head. And he has this advan tage over former rhetorical theorists, that "he is himself the great sublime he draws." His precepts have been tested by experience. The Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley has come forth, at this the eleventh hour, with a " De fence of the Game-laws." And we should be disposed to concede to him, that, if all country gentlemen were of his cilibre, they might be defended. Defended, that is to say, de facto—without too curious question of de jure. It is the non-übiquity of Grantley Berkeleys that creates the insufficiency of game-laws. " Quand on sail ce qu'on tout," says a French historian, "et qu'on le veto vice et Lien, on fobtient toujours" The mischief is, according to Mr. Grande) , Berkeley, and we quite agree with him—that all the world are not up to his mark—that gamekeepers of his nerve and muscle are not to be had for the money—that there is only one Hercules to so many Caci ; and that Hercules cannot get on, all the year round, without his club. Mr. ARRIVAL OF AIR. O'CONNELL. Mr. O'Connell is to arrive in Dubli n on Sunday even ing next, and is to attend the meeting of the Repeal Association of the following day. It is stated that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman intends shortly to pay a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Fitzsimon, who is in Belgium. The Pilot of this evening will contain the following letter from Mr. O'Connell : " Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 10, 1843. "My Dear Barrett,—l mean to postpone for a few days my second letter on the Bequests Act. I am tremulously alive to the apprehension that any one should conceive that my first letter was in any degree disre pectful to any of the prelates who have accepted the commission. I wish to postpone the second that I nay be able to apologise for, and indeed, repudiate any such meaning. lam not the less hostile to the Bequests Act, or to any concordat, or State provision for our clergy, because of this postponement. Because I expect that the letter which his Grace the Catholic Archbishop of Ar magh certainly received from the Propaganda, on the subject of the repeal agitation, should appear before I publish another letter. " What a ludicrous situation the Ministry are in, as having procured from the Court of Rome such a letter, in direct opposition to the oaths they have taken, that the Pope has not, and ought not to have, directly or indirectly, any power, authority, or jurisdiction, civil or religious, within this realm! " - Besides, the interval between this and my second letter will be well filled by the admirable pamphlet of Mr. Sergeant Shee. He is, you are aware, I suppose, an eminent English barrister—an Irishman by birth, or, at least, by parentage—and, what is more to the present purpose, a strictly practical Catholic. His authority will, deservedly, have great weight with all our prelates; and for my part I should not be surprised if it produced a breaking up of the commission by the resignation of our prelates. At all events, it cannot but have a most powerful effect on the Catholic mind of Ireland against the Act. He cannot be considered as the partisan of any section, spiritual or lay, of the Irish Catholics. His opinion is, therefore, justly calculated to have that weight which is naturally refused to mine.—Faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Richard Barrett, Esq., Pilot Office." RUMOURED VISIT OF MR. O'CONNELL TO ROME. There is a rumour in town, resting, perhaps, merely on surmise, that Mr. O'Connell has determined to proceed to Rome early in the ensuing month. THE RESCRIPT FROM THE POPE. The Freeman's Journal thus refers to the rescript from the Propaganda, published by Archbishop Crolly : " Now that its contents are known, we are happy to say that there is nothing to affright or to confound in that grave instrument. The rescript contains the exhor tations of the Court of Rome to the prelates of the Irish branch of the Catholic Church, in reference to a combi nation of circumstances, political and social, such as the world never heretofore has witnessed. It is not for us to meddle in a matter which so peculiarly concerns and interests the hierarchy and clergy of this country. We have no right, and certainly we have no desire to do so. The hierarchy themselves have treated the rescript with that degree of ' respect, obedience, and veneration that should ever be paid to any document emanating from the Apostolic See,' and have pledged themselves ' to carry the spirit thereof into effect.' The obedience' promised might well be anticipated from the most strictly submis sive branch of the Catholic Church, and ' the spirit' in which they were prepared to obey the rescript might well be predicted of a hierarchy and clergy, whose ear nest respondence to the obligations of citiaenship reflects honour on the Irish nation. This ' obedience' which the prelates promise in no respect interferes with the obliga tions which, as citizens, they owe to their country. The prelates who take part with the people have manifested the spirit in which they understand the rescript. In order to relieve the public mind, which we know is anxious to learn the effect of the Propaganda, we shall take leave to indicate the interpretation which has been almost unanimously given to it. " The Catholic Primate laid before the Synod in No vember last the rescript now given to the public. A resolution was passed upon the subject, and we are as sured, on the highest authority, that a copy of the document was taken by each of the assembled prelates, that he might have its:injunctions the more continuously present to his mind. Now, the repeal banquet at Limerick was held upon the 20th November, and the Synod had separated on the 15th, From Dublin two prelates went direct to that demonstration : one of those was the Archbishop of Tuam, the other the Bishop of Elphin. The mildness and singleness of heart of Dr. Browne have earned for him an epithet consonant with his characteristics, and the humility of his life would have prepared us to expect that he should be found , the first to propose 'obedience' to the rescript of the I ro paganda. Accordingly, it was his Lordship who pro • posed the resolution recorded in the letter of the Pri mate ; but, as if to mark, by a n overt and decide d act the acceptation in which not only the prelates who agreed to that resolution, but those alst? ... who proposed and se- " Yours ever faithfully, "DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Ray, Esq." Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes, and congratulated the Association on the certainty of having Mr. O'Connell with them on the succeeding Monday. The SECRETARY read a communication from Mr. Steele, dated Carrick-on-Shannon, announcing that having succeeded in tranquillising the county Leitrim he would now direct his efforts to the county of Tipperary. The writer concluded by saying, " I venerate his Holi ness the Pope, as the spiritual head—the Sasctissimus Pontiff of the religion of my Catholic Christian brethren over the globe of the earth ; but I say to his Holiness, in his character of a temporal prince of a State in Italy, that no power on earth except the Queen, the Lords, and the Commons, has a right to make laws for Ireland —temporal laws for the direction of Ireland, or for any portion of her people.' " Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then rose and brought under the consideration of the meeting the subject of repeal read ing rooms. Having read the rules by which these read ing rooms were to be conducted, and entered into some details respecting them, he proceeded to say, that the establishment of these reading rooms met with the con sent and hearty concurrence of the Irish people. Since his first acquaintance with his countrymen he had disco vered among them an ardent thirst for knowledge. Ire land had been in former ages the centre of learning and civilisation ; to it numbers crowded from all parts for education, and its missionaries were to be found in all quarters of the world. Misrule and foreign domination had tended to interrupt that happy state of things ; but, he was happy to say, that the same spirit which actuated their ancestors was still alive. He was sure he had their sympathy with him when he spoke on the subject of literature. They should be anxious, and he was confident they were, to look into the history of nations, and see how the people of those countries conducted themselves when they were oppressed, and learn to profit by the mistakes they made when assert ing their liberties. It has been said that agitation frus trated industry, and that the people lost their time in attending meetings and listening to speeches, in place of attending to their business. Now he would say that their most active repeal wardens were examples of industrial exertion ; and one of the first inquiries made by the committe when any individual applied for the office of repeal warden was, whether he attended properly to his own private avocations. Their great object in forming these reading rooms was for the political education of the people. Under other circumstances it might be de sirable to exclude party politics from them, but at present that would be impossible, as they should be ren dered effective in carrying out the policy of the Asso ciation, and be made the means of extorting the repeal of the union—perfect harmony and concord should be their characteristic of action. After some further ob servations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by submit ting his motion for adoption. The motion was seconded by Mr. C.tticmar, barrister, and passed. Mr. M'NEnst briefly addressed the meeting, confining his observations to the late communication from Rome to Dr. Crolly, the Catholic primate, which he censured in the most marked and emphatic manner. He denied that the Court of Rome, or any foreign potentate, had the right to exercise any authority over the temporal affairs of the people of Ireland. It was rumoured that English gold was at work, but he was convinced that every effort would fail in stifling the demand for repeal. Was it, he would ask, the voice of Peel, diluted through the lungs of a Petrel, that was governing the councils of the Vatican ? Mr. O'NEIII. DAUNT addressed the meeting at some length, on the same subject as the last spea ker. H e Theyould denied the power of the fops to idnternfedreseiln.dthheetewmepeold ral affairs of the people of treat any rescript h avi ng such a te n dency k a an emanation from the bureau of GrandaTsuhrke woul d an t send them, but they would no Roman politics. would accept as much Roman theology as they wished t o receive Mr. 11. GRATTAN likewise addressed the meeting, and expressed his hearty concurrence in all the observations which had fallen from the speakers who preceded him, and expressed his solemn conviction that th e l etter from the Propaganda d id not re present the opinions of hi s Holiness, but that it was extorted from him. Mr. S.O'BRIEN congratulated the meeting on the noble spirit displayed to-day, which clearly proved that there was not in this country a divided allegiance, and he trusted that the admonition given would be effectual in the right quarter. The Hon. Gentleman then announced the rent for the week to be 263 f. 18s. Id. The meeting then adjourned. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. In Meath, as well as in Tipperary, the Roman Catholic clergy and the farmers are exerting themselves with most commendable zeal to repress crime. Last week a very numerous meeting was held at Car lanstown, county of Meath, at which Henry Meredyth, Esq., a magistrate of that county, and an extensive landed proprietor, presided. Mr. Meredyth addressed the meeting, and, says the Drogheda Argus, " implored NAVAL INTELLIGENCE . .. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 14.—The St. Vincent, 120, Capt. Rowley, unlocked on Saturday, was brought under the shears for mating this day. The Mercury tender arrived from Devonport with hands for the vessels fitting out here on the 11th. The Britannia, 120, advanced ship, was taken into dock yesterday, to be completed as an entirely advanced ship. She will be coppered up to her bends. The Pelican, 16, Commander Justice, arrived butt evening at Spithead from Singapore, with specie to the amount of about 250,000/. on board. She sprung a leak soon after starting from Singapore, and transhipped two thirds of her valuable freight on board the Harlequin,, which arrived safe on Sunday. The Pelican came through the Needles, and in coming up from the west ward with a light wind she went too close in shore, it being low water, and tailed on the Kicker-point, be. tween Fort Monckton and Stoke's-bay ; she immediately commenced firing minute guns, as signals of distress, and sent up several rockets, but which, however, were not answered for upwards of an hour, when, we be. lieve, the Victory answered the signal, and dispatched the Comet steamer to her assistance. The grounding of the Pelican occurred about a quarter-past eight o'clock, and assistance from the harbour did not arrive until near eleven! The circumstance of signal guns firing on a fine calm night, at such an hour, excited the utmost consternation in the town, and the ramparts were quickly thronged with spectators, anxious to ascertain the cause of their unseasonable disturbance. The first who put off to the assistance of the stranded vessel was Lieutenant Grandy,. of the coast-guard station, Block: house, who, with his boat's crew, quickly got alongside the distressed vessel, and, soon after, the Comet steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, with a dock. yard lighter in tow, vrived at the spot, but their ser vices were not requireT,Sas the flowing of the tide had carried the Pelican off. ',lndeed, so far was thelSomet from being of any assistance, that we are informed ahe • 'an into the Pelican, and carried away her.jiblvom„, 'The Pelican eventually made the anchorage at Spithead, and saluted the Admiral this morning, after which Captain Rowley went aboard in the Fanny yacht, and mus tered and inspected the ship's crew. At about ere o'clock she came into harbour, to disembark her specie, and be paid off. This vessel has been upwards of,thirty years in the service. The Pelican appears to be ,ip t most abjectly filthy state. She is fit for nothing further than to be broken up. The want of assistance was'inost keenly felt at a time when this vessel appeared in cams danger, and serves to prove the necessity (which we pointed out months since) of haring a powerful steam vessel ready at any minute at each of our ports; • to sally forth to the assistance of a ship in distress, or to repel the incursions of an enemy. Here was a crazy brig with a valuable freight on board beating her bottom out upon , a dangerous beach, and firing guns and rockets for as sistance two hours before any came, and this - within mile of the fieg of the Commander-in-Chief of the first naval port in the world ! Surely this is proof enough of the necessity for guarding Against the recurrence of Such . . serious and lamentable losses of life and property as have' been attendant upon even a few moments (not to say hours') delay in rendering assistance. The only vessel at this port fit for service is the Comet, a small steatner,and after she received her orders to get up her steam, we be lieve near two hours were spent ; thus the vessel migbt in a heavy surf, and upon one of the most dangerous parts of the coast, have gone to pieces, lost her precious freight, and every soul have perished, because, in the first port in the world, no boat could be manned, but a delay must be occasioned by a steamer having to light her fires and get up her power. We should like to know why the Admiralty authorities, when made acquaints' with the fact that a vessel of the royal navy was in dis tress, with a valuable freight on board, did not mane boat and send some officer as their representative ta set and report the danger of the distressed vessel. Too much praise cannot be given to Lieutenant Grandy for the= promptness he displayed in going to the assistance of the Pelican. We believe a Court of Inquiry will be held to ascertain by whose negligence or ignorance the Pelican took the ground. The Amazon, 26, Captain Stopford, arrived front. Sheerness this morning, and brought up at Spithead. where she anchored and saluted ; she will receive advance wages, and make trial of the range of her guns while at Spithead. One of the Members for Brighton, the Honourable Captain Pechell, has delivered a speech to his tenantry upon the present state of agriculture and the working of the corn- laws. We stop not to inquire as to the amount of the Hon. Member's rent-roll, but we .do say that, with an immense amount of absurdity, he spoke one plain truth. There is no doubt that agriculture does not pay itself, as Captain Pechell admits, but one would be almost tempted to say, from his statement, that the farmers of his property, from the state of their rents, are in a flourishing condition. There is no one who reads the Gallant Captain's speech who will not admit this, and it is well for him that he can afford so to do to keep up his position in society, to be a Member of the Legislature, and still to reduce his rents. All land lords are not in the same position, as we believe the tradesmen of many country towns and villages can at present testify. It is very well for Captain Pechell to talk of steady prices; such, we believe, all agriculturists wish for, but the difficulty seems to us to be that prices may be steadily unreniunerating, and we think Captain Pechell himself admits this fact. How, then, are the present corn-laws beneficial ? Let Government do what it likes, the agriculturiso are losing money every day by the protection they are at present alleged to enjoy, and all that can be said of the matter, even on Captain Pechell's statement, is, that they are losing money by steadily low prices.--/Iforning Post.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE CITY-ROAM—The.- day night, about half-past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive patent fire-wood manufactory of Mr. Gor ton, City-basin, City-road. The proprietor himself was the first to discover the fire, but imaginingit to be nomore than the foul state of a chimney he took but little notice, when the flames burst forth with great fury from the resin-room. Messengers were dispatched for the engine., and very promptly several arrived. Fortunately there was an abundance of water procurable from the canal, and by eleven o'clock the firemen succeeded in their ef forts to arrest the progress of the fire, but had not finally accomplished their tasks till the workshops were com pletely destroyed. About forty loads of wood were en tirely consumed. Several persons had duckings in the canal, but no serious accidents occurred.
