THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
This body met today in the usual course. Mr. M. R.
Layne was called to the chair. Considerable interest at-
tached to this meeting, as it was bruited abroad thatthe Messrs.
O'Connell would probably retire from the association in con-
sequence of the course other ntlemen were prepared es
adopt. The hon. member for Trelee, Mr. blaurice O'Con-

intention, said that was probably the last time he should
appear in that hall. The announcement was received with
