QUARTER ASSEMBLY.:-REPEAL OF THE UNION.
The question on this subject was proposed (as
we stated in the Freemen's Joitrisid of Saturday
last) in the Common Council (the fullest we have
*ern) by Mr. Pool, seconded by Mr. Kearney, and
carried with one dissentinevoice.
The Board of Aldermen, after along aebateon
a motion for postponing the question, divided. The
numbers were sae* to wine. Thus it appears the
majority fur posiPOneninit wits only two !
It appears that Aldermen M'Keony, Abbott,
Beresfurd, and Arley, were absent; had the Bonn]
been full the motiMi must have beih carried. The
measure, we understand, comes ht fore the net
Quarter Assembly, wben it is supposed a petition
will go forward from the esdife Corporatton.—
( Dublin Premiss.)
We have every reason to believe that it a intended
to fill one of the vacant seats at the Linen Board
by the appointment of Mr. Rice, the Member fur
