FOR BYSTANDERS.

! 6. On an alarm of fire it should be the object of all
persons to direct their efforts to save the inmates, and
see that instant notice is forwarded to the engine and
escape stations; also ladders and ropes should be
sought for.
.. .._ _

7. Two well. qualified persons (constables or others)
should ascend to the roof through the adjoining houses;
it is often the case that most efficient assistance can
from thence be rendered the inmates by an entrance
to the upper part of the house on fire, either by the
attic windows, the loft door, or by removing the tiles.
8. When the fire occurs in a narrow street or
court assistance can be given most efficiently from
the windows of the opposite house, particularly by
means of a ladder placed across the street from win•
dow to window.

9. When no other means present themselves the
bystanders had better collect all the blankas, bed-
ding, &c., at hind, and thus be prepared for the
inmates throwing themselves from the windows; if
there be a scarcity of bedding a blanket or carpet held
stretched out by several persons will serve the pur-
pose. At each of the City police•stations a jumping-
sheet is always at hand, and has frequently proved of
great use.

THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, TUE!DAY.—Yesterday a meeting of the
Repeal Association, revived, was held at Conciliation
Hall, the first of a series in perpetuity, which are to
be held weekly, until a domestic Parliament is re-
stored to College green. With respect to the ball
itself, it has undergone no change " during the re-
cess." The black banner, in token of mourning for
the late Mr. O'Connell, is still suspended from the
gallery behind the chair.
The chair was taken by a Mr. Mahon, from Phibs-
borough, after whom
Mr. J. O'CorsiveLa rose and announced the receipt
of 3/. 103. from the patriotic coal-porters of George's-
quay, and two or three smaller svms from individual
contributors. He then read two letters, one from the
Rev. James M`Hale, P.P., of Castlebar, the other
from the Rev. Dr. O'Rafferty, of Tullamore, pro-
mising their co-operation in the principles of the
late " Liberator.' Having moved the insertion of
those letters on the minutes, he proceeded
to say that having got through the " scanty
business" of the day he did not not know how
to begin his address. lie said he was overpowered
with feelings of grief at the mournful events that
had passed since last they had met in that hall—the
sufferings of the people and the miserable divisions
that had sprung up amongst Irishmen, and by
which they had been sunk down into captive slaves at
the feet of England. He assured them that there
should be no compromise on the subject of repeal,
and warned them against certain "Nationalists" who
wished to divert the people's attention from seeking
to remove the abuse of the Church Establishment.
Ministers had asserted in Parliament that the people
of Ireland were content with the present state of
the Established Church, and gave as a reason the
fact of their silence upon the subject for the last 12
months. He now asked them, were they satisfied
with the Church Establishment ?—(Cries of " No,
no !") He said "No, no," likewise, and " Down
with the Established Church." It had been said that
they should not revive political agitation in Ireland ;
—that if they remained quiet all their wrongs would
be redressed. They had been as mute as mice for
some time past, and he asked what had Parliament done
for them ? Lord J. Russell—(Groans.) They should
not groan him. Had he not been over here huggermug-
ger with Lord Clarendon ? and was not a coercion
Act the immediate result ? He then referred at some
length to the land question and the numerous evic-
tions, which latter exceeded by far the number re-
corded in the English papers, and stated that the
land question and the Church question should be
settled, and that he would make them primary
questions in effecting the repeal. On the occasion of
the visit of their gracious Queen, God bless her !
(Loud cheers)—Sir G. Grey wrote a letter to Lord
Clarendon, in which the Right Hon. Baronet said
that her Majesty was delighted to find that Lord
Clarendon was such a favourite with the Irish people.
(Laughter.) He asked them, were they so very
fond of Lord Clarendon ?—(Cries of " No, no !")
This " pet of the people"—and he thought that a very
good name for Lord Clarendon—caused the constitu-
tion of Ireland to be suspended ; that was the first
gilt he asked from the British Parliament fur
Ireland. There was another act of Lord Claren-
don's which should not be forgotten. At Dolly's
Brae he sent the military and police to escort an
Orange party, while they were committing mas-
sacres on the people. He encouraged an armed body
of Orangemen to march against the "people when
the authorities knew that a collision was inevitable,
and yet there was no redress, nor promise of redress,
fur their murderings and wreckings. They all re-
collected the dismissal of the Repeal magistrates, but
Lord Clarendon allowed Beers to retain his commis-
sion of the peace, and to repeat his deliberate ap-
proval of the Orange massacres. Dolly's Brae was
a name to conjure with; they would use it, and make
justice be done to the Irish people. The speaker then
referred to the efficacy of moral force as contradis-
tinguished from physical force, and deplorei the Me
of those who heretofore scoffed and sneered at moral
force. He wished bygones to be bygones, but it
should be understood that they would never compro-
mise their peace principles. Ho would not mention
names, but he assured them that they would have
the countenance and support of those who never
deceived them.—(Cheers.) •
