entered into our soul.—(Cheers.) They have put
the brand upon us, and they despise us for heating
it so long.—(Cheers.) We will bear it no longer.
—(Hear, hear, and continued cheering.) I tell the
people of England and of Scotland that I respect
them ; but I tell them that the people of Ire Lind are
their equals; they could not be superior to the ex-
cellent men in both countries; still we are their
equals, and I never will consent that we should be
inferior to them.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If
they have continued the insult to us by sending over
to us again Mr. Stanley, after his bringing in the
Arms Bill—if they have sent that man back to Ire-
land who introduced such a Bill, I tell Earl Grey
that we will not allow ourselves to be so insulted.—
(Cheers.) I will support every good measure of the
Administration—l will assist them in achieving it—
but I claim for Ireland equal riglvs and tibei ves
with any other portion of the Einpire.—( Hear rend
cheers.) We have now forty or fifty independent
Members—we have, at least, sixty Reformers; but
there are forty who care for any Ministry, and
yet, with that number to support us, a second insult
has been offered to us in sending Arms Stanley here.
He, who in the House asserted this monstrous pro-
position, that the church property was like the private
' estate of an individual. He, a Protestant, forgetting
the title of his own church, asserted this ! 1 agree
with him that their title is good as long as it lasts.—
(Hear, and cheers.) The Parliament gave it, and
the Parliament can take it away. Wiiy, if doc-
trine be true, instead of Doctor Magee, who died
lately, greatly regretted by his family, haying the
princely revenues he once possessed, Doctor Murray
should have walked over to the Palace, and taken
possession of every thing, even including the golden
prebendary of Swords.—(Hear, and laughter.) If
Mr. Stanley's proposition be worth any thing,• it
retist come to that. Now, I, on the contrary, assert,
that the title is in the Protestant Bishops; but how
long? As long as the Parliament chooses to leave
it with them.—( Hear.) Do I want that the church
property should go back to Doctor "Mum') ? No.
I respect him too much—l have too great an esteem
—too sincere.a love—too high a regard for him, to
allow it to be bestowed upon him.—( Hear, hear.)
He would not be the object of veneration t.e is, if
he were the purse-proud Bishop—if he were the
haughty Prelate, that as he walked forth, the poor
woman, with her starving child, would cry our,
6' there goes the man who takes the tenth potato
from me and my wretched family."—(Hear.) I ens
too sincere a Catholic to consent that the nealth of
the Establishment should be transferred to any other
church, but least of all to my own.—(l-tear, hear.)
There is something curious iu the history of Miles
in Ireland. The Catholic Church was partly este-
, olished before the mission of St. Patrick to Ireland,
and it flourished afterwards here, until one fatal
day in August, it was the eleventh day in that
month, in 1172—a lovely evening it is said to have
been—when Strongbow sailed into the beautiful
estuary, where three rivers meet, below Waierford.
I wish that day were blotted out of the calendars!
—(Hear, hear.) One of the evils which they carried
with them was, a dissolute English clergy, who in-
troduced into Ireland the system of tithes —(Hear.)
It is an English importation—it is net of the
genuine soil of Ireland, and it is one whicti excited
the hatred of the people.—(Hear.) And yet we
have with us the only man in power, who has ex-
pressed such opinions respecting the tithe system.
I conclude by calling upon you to rally round and
uphold the British Ministry, and Reform ; I ell
upon you to rally against the Tories, and for the
preservation of the public peace; I cull upon all
classes of society to commingle together; I call
upon the operative classes to assist and enable us to
put an end to dissension ; I call upon the peasantry,
the Blackfeet and the Whitefeet, in the name of
their country, to be reconciled to one atioiher; I call
upon the people of the North to join the Orange.
men and R'bbonmen together, that they combine
not against each other, but for the good of Ireland.
—(Hear and cheers.) I come now, to mytn'orclud-
' ing topic, and, I ask, what good has been done for
Leland by our acquiescence to the evils we; had to
endure?—(bear.) When did the people'get any
thing that they did not struggle for it ?—When did
power part with benefit, unless it was wrung from
them by popular exertion ?—(Hear and loud cheers.)
It never has—it never, never will be otherwise ob-
rained.—(Cheers.) The Administration has now
been twelve months in office, and nothing has been
done for the country. The people of Ireland have
come to a time when they must insist that the day
of waiting is at and end.—(Cheers.) 'We have
waited long enough, arid from this room we declare
that we will wait no longer.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. DOMINIC RONAYNE seconded Mr. O'Con-
riell's resolution, and cos:eluded by proposing, as
members of the Union, Mr. Maguire, of Tempore—
(Cheers)—Mr. Macklin, the barrister—(Hear)--
and Mr. Keirnan, the barrister.— (Renewed cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the nomination of
these gentlemen.
Dr. SHERIDAN deprecated the separation of the
Trades' Union and the present body, and recom-

which Mr. O'Connell had proposed it. He said,
he trusted he would be found equally attentive to
the duties of his office there, as he Irdi been when
acting for the Catholic Association.—(Hear, hear,
and applause.)
Mr. O'CONNELL then, read and propsed rules
and regulations fel; tie Union, which he said were
nearly the s.7.nle as► those of the C3tholic Association,
but improved in some respects.
Mr. PATRICK COSTELLO seconded the motion
for their adoption, and they we;e unanimously
agreed to.

Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of a motion for

It is sail that the Bishop of ST. ASAPII has
announced that he perceives the Reform Bill to be neces-
sary.— Carnarvon Heruid.

THE CATECHISM OF HEALTH.—The work
Just published under tide title is likely to supersede in real
utility, and to surpass in sale, all the Medical Guides toad
have appeared during the last fifty years: for assureoly
there can be no better triode for a pecan to ascertain the
precise state of his health, than to Catechise himself,
guided, of eaurse, by the directions of an expeiienced
physician. In the present little volume the quescarin are
proposed and answered in thin plainest and siarpest
guage, and divested of all 'net:heal tecratiealai,s. 'traria. an
advantage which wo believe no other work on the same
subject can lay claim to ; the cheap price also at which it
is to be published must place it within the reach of all
classes,
