BRIGHTON.-THURSDAY

We are sorry to state that about 50 of the apprentices
of the Good Hope estate, in the parish of Port Royal,
left the property yesterday in a body, and proceeded to
Spanish Town, to complain to the Governor. A circular
has, however, been issued to the stipendiary Magistrates,
not to permit bands of negroes to absent themselves from
their homes, but to send a deputation to his Excellency,
who will willingly listen to their complaints. In this case
we have no doubt they will be sent back in charge of the
Police, with orders to the Special Magistrate to try them,
and to make good the labour their absence has occasioned.

This morning the King and the Duchess of Gloucester
took a drive before luncheon. His Majesty also took a car-
riage airing this afternoon, accompanied by Lady Falkland.
This morning the Queen, accompanied by the Earl and
Countess Brownlovr, the Hon.i Miss Mitchell, Hon. Miss
Eden, Miss Wilson, Hon. Captain Curzon, Mr. Hudson,
and Hon W. Ashley, walked up the Marine Parade to the
Terrace beneath Kemp Town, where her Majesty remained
for some time, and subsequently took a carriage airing on
the Cliffs.
The Princess Augusta, accompanied by Miss Wynyard,
took a carriage airing this morning on the Cliffs before
luncheon.
Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by his tutor,
and the Hon. Captain Curzon, walked out this morning.
His Majesty gave audience to the Lord Chamberlain
and Sir Robert Gordon yesterday.
The Rev. J. R. Wood left the Palace this morning for
London.

Prince Esterhazy and his son (who arrived a short time
before at the Norfolk Hotel), Lord and Lady George Sey-
mour, Sir Hamilton and Lady Seymour, the Earl and
Countess of Wicklow, Major-General Sir John Elley, and

IRELAND.

Dublin, Nov. 23.
GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND.—An extraordi-
nary meeting of the Association was held yesterday at the
Corn Exchange Great Rooms, in order to enter into new
arrangements to insure the success of the popular candidate
at the approaching election for the county of Longford.
The Secretary, Mr. French, read the proceedings of the
last day's meeting ; also the plan as laid down by Mr.
O'Connell, for regulating the business of the Association.
A great many new members having been first admitted,
and several subscriptions handed in, Mr. O'Connell rose
and addressed the Association at considerable length. The
following abridgment from the Pilot supplies a summary of
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's speech :—" I give no-
tice, that on Thursday next, I shall move to have inspectors
of registry sent down again to the country, to arrange for
the forthcoming registry at the January Sessions—(Hear,
hear)—and I will also move to have half-a-dozen of first-
rate agitators sent down to the county Longford—yes, well-
trained men, who know their business. There is no county
in Ireland, not even Carlow, that has suffered more from
the cruel persecution of Tory landlords than Longford. The
poor people have suffered the most grinding and heartless
persecution that ever was heard of from men who pretended
to the greatest sanctity. Great praise is due to Luke
White, for coming forward to take his place in the front of
the battle. I repeat it, that too much praise cannot
be given to the White family, for the noble and the
manly conduct they have always pursued when a battle was
to be fought for the liberties of their country.- If we keep
in the Melbourne administration, we must get what we
seek for ; we owe much to Lord Mulgrave, but it is through
the instrumentality of Lord Morpeth we received it. Never
was there beard of in the annals of profligacy and corrup-
tion, anything so shamefully corrupt and degrading as the
conduct of the corporation of Dublin. It is said that
beyond the lowest•depths of hell there is a deeper hell to
be found. So, beyond the lowest depths of depravity there
is still something more depraved to be found in the corpo-
ration of Dublin. I will not be twenty-fours in the House
of Commons at the beginning of the next session, until I put
a notice on the books, to have the conduct of the corporation
of Dublin inquired into. I will move for an inquiry into
the mode of making freemen ; and I would like to see if
Lord Lyndhurst himself would get up and say that be would
protect such fraud and corruption.—( Hear.) We must in-
crease our majority in the House of Commons, and that will
put down the nuisance of the corporation system. We have,
beyond a possibility of doubt, Carlow liberated.—(Cheers.)
We will give Bruen an opportunity of goinc, about his busi-
ness—he may go to the Zoological Gardens for show ; and I
will venture to say he will not find a baboon there half !-o
ugly as himself.—(Loud laughter.) If Youghal be in
danger, whose fault is it? I will tell you that it is the
fault of the Duke of Devonshire. I tell the Reformers
this, that if the Duke of Devonshire has any dislike to
me I will withdraw my son from Youghal, and let them
send down a Ponsonby or a Cavendish, and, notwithstanding
the small constituency, lie will be returned by a majority
of fifty—the popular party would support him, and it would
not cost him a penny. Let the Duke of Devonshire be
what he professes to be—namely, the friend of the present
Administration—and Youghal is safe. Then there is
Athlone, where we will turn out a Tory. There is Kin-
sale ; we are safe there. Cork and Drogheda will return
Reformers ; the Orangemen will surely be kicked out of
those places. We will triumph, too, in the counties of Do-
negal and Cavan ; and in the county Down, one of the
Members, at least, will be a Reformer. I now come back
to Longford, and I call upon the people to rally round
Luke White. It may be that Mr. White will be returned
without a contest, though it is said that they have sent to
England for money, which they expect from the Carlton
Club. They will hardly get it—the Dublin election cost
the Club too much, and they did not get value for their
money—the Dublin election cost me sixteen thousand
pounds, although I had not to pay for votes, nor even the
candles which were burned in the Committee-room ; those
who sat round them paid for them. We did every thing
with economy, and yet it cost me that sum ; and I don't
think I exaggerate, when I say that it cost my opponents
and the Carlton Club fifty thousand. Mr. O'Connell con-
cluded by moving that it should be referred to the Com-
mittee to appoint persons to canvass Longford for Mr.
White. After some further proceedings having relation
to the representation of Longford, the meeting adjourned
till Thursday.
Mr.:O'Connell's motion in reference to the rebellion-writ
system did not go on in the Exchequer on Monday. We
lament that the reason was of so painful a nature. The
accounts which reached Dublin cn that day of the state of
Mr. Maurice O'Connell's health were such as to preclude
his afflicted parent from appearing in a Court with any
prospect of doing justice to the important cause.—Pilot.
The situation of Accountant-General to the Court of
Chancery has been bestowed upon Mr. Samuel Barrington.
We regret to announce the death of James Trail Hall,
Esq., King's Counsel, and Chairman of the county of
Cavan. It is rumoured that Mr. Dickson is to be the
new Chairman.
The month's mind for the late Mrs. O'Connell, will, we
understand, be celebrated in Dublin on the first of Decem-
ber next.
On Thursday a hostile meeting took place near Wexford
between Mr. B— and Dr. B—, the former seconded by
Mr. ll—, and the latter by a friend from Dublin. On
the word being given, Mr. B— received his adversary's
fire, and discharged his own pistol in the air. The misun-
derstanding grew out of a love affair, in which Mr. B—
figured as the gay Lothario ; and his high-spirited antago-
nist, Dr. B—, thinks that his pistol was certainly charged
with only Cupid's pellet, as its contents—instead of making
a due impression on the love-sick swain—dissipated into
,hin air.
