liament were present:—Messrs. Duffy, Lucas, Kennedy, t"
Moore, Shee, Swift, Bowyer, Potter, and Magan, vilo
severally addressed the meeting. Amongst the other celebfi'
ties who spoke were : Mr. Sharman Crawford, and gt'
Patrick Lalor, who was formerly member for the (two'
county, when he took his
.place in the House, clad in 00
garb of an Irish peasant, viz., a grey frieze coat and knec
breeches. The proceedings, as might have been augurc
did not pass off without a shindy. Father Quade, a Ronls.
Catholic clergyman, who made himself very prominent re
behalf of the liberal candidates in Clare, made use of L";
opportunity to attack the Nation for its advocacy at the tinla
of the Tory Colonel Vandeleur. " Should they have alloWue„,
into Parliament," said the reverendpolitician, " a man I'm:
endeavoured-to deceive themby specious promises, and, who'
he considered he had gained the day, caused his minions ti
strike up ' Croppies Lie Down' and the ' Protestant Bo
in the streets of Kilrush ? Should they have sanctioned
return of the volunteer detective of 1848 ?" (This w A
allusion to Colonel Vandeleur having endeavoured to capswA
Richard O'Gorman, for whose head £3OO pounds reward i,,,,
offered. The gallant Colonel fitted out a yacht in '4B ,P'ef
the purpose of watching the west coast.) This sally of Fania,
Quade was productive of great confusion, and notwithstanie
ing that, he declared his intention to go on, however peolib
might "slout the table," he was at last obliged to succual,
and take his seat. Mr. Duffy then replied, and was backed by
Mr. Lucas.. Rev. Mr. Quade got up again, when bei°6
called to order, he expressed ins determination not to 1
" hunted down." A general cross-fire of words then to/4
place, half-a-dozen speaking at a time, which was 01$
ended by Mr. Quade being allowed "to have his way'
which was received with very little satisfaction howece'"
The confusion was afterwards renewed by Mr. Duffy callinteo°

of sending the joke round, Dr. M'Knight attacked IL
Lucas, who, he said, had endeavoured to induce Sir So t
Young to postpone all legislation on the subject of Teu3l,lo
Right. Mr. Lucas : " It's a lie ; what's your authority %

especially when we include the value of the ships cone/the

Russians might confiscate their ships and cargoes, t'ere
this apprehension is increased from the fact that Obit,
