The Dublin Morning Register of Monday con.
tains a report of tl►e meetings of the Catt►olics of
the Comity of IVexford, Sir 'l', Esmots7DE, Bart.,
in the chair. The new Catholic Association
was approved of, two silver • tureens were vo►ed
to Mr. O'CoNNELn, and it was recommended
to the Catholics of Ireland to meet i►► every
parish on the first Monday of the next Ses-
sion. Mr. SuLtr. addressed the Meeting in
his usual bombastical and inflated style ; and
concluded by calling on Mr. C-ESAR COLCLOUGU
to present himself as a Candidate for the
County. Mr. GiEiA z Coccr,ouou thought
proper to decline the honour, as he had upon
former occasions. The whole speech of this
Gentleman is worthy of admiration, from the
feelings it displayed, and the benevolence it
evinced throughout. Were all the advocates of
Catholic Emancipation as sincere as this Gentle-
Gentleman—were they to follow the mil& and
praise•worthy example he has set, the distinction
between Protestant and Catholic would be abolish.
ed, and we should no longer hear of unhappy and
misgoverned Ireland. The e‘ils which afflict
Ireland are chiefly attributable to the Catholics.
Would they but endeavour to improve the con-
dition of the people with the same earnest zeal they
display in opposing all the measures of Govern-
ment calculated to effect the public good, Ireland
would flourish and be happy. We cannot refrain
from adding the following short extract from Mr.
COLCLOUGH's excellent speech. After stating
his reasons for declining the honor of represent-
ing the county in Parliament, he goes on :

'• I have said that I have neither taste, health, nor talents for
politics. I was for twenty-seven years in France, without once
opening my mouth in the English language. • • •
• * * Gentlemen,.l have been bred in a more civi-
lized country. Let me not be supposed to wish to cast any re-
flection upon my own country for her comparative want of civi-
lization. It is not her fault ; it is the fault of those who have
misgoverned her. Scarcely 24 hours after I set my foot on Eng-
lish ground on my return home, I met a gentleman who has
since attained a seat on the bench. He said to me, 'I am
afraid you cannot live in this country, it is so different from
what you have been accustomed to. However, I felt it my
duty—n'y, a matter of religion. To the peasantry who derive
their subsistence from me I reciprocally owe my existence.—
(Vehement cheering.) a a
I do not call upon you to look at the colour of my skin to see
that I am a Wexford man,—(roars of laughter and applause,)
—but I give you a more moral demonstration ; I live aniongst
you even contrary to my inclination, and will continue to Co
so until your emancipation is achieved; and then, Gentlemen,
1 must take my leave of you, as many others will do. I really
think that I am of more service to you as a private gentleman
living amongst you, than I could be as your Representative in
Parliament. Five dozen summers will have passed over my
head this year : it will therefore be admitted that I cannot be
a very apt scholar."

INnIA.—We received yesterday a series of the
Madras Papers to the Bth of February last, and
we shall avail ourselves of every opportunity of
extracting from them those articles which are
likely to be interesting to our Asiatic readers in
Europe.

M It. CANNING.—The air of Comb,' Wood
agrees extremely, we ire happy to state, with Mr. Secretary
CANNING, so much so that we have the pleasure to say the
Right Hon. Secretary is perfectly restored to health and strength,
which enabled- him to return to his official duties yesterday, in
London. He determined on riding to town on horseback,. and
his saddle-horse was ordered to be at the door of Combe House,
Combe Wood, the residence of the Earl and Countesi of Liver-
pool, where the Right lion. Gentleman had been on a visit for
some days, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at a quarter
past Mr. Canning mounted his Norse, evidently restored to good
health, and with the agility of also renovated strength. He
proceeded at a very brisk pace, accompanied by Mr. Harvey,
his private Secretary, sometimes at a gallop, which rendered i-..
difficult for the driver of Mr. Harvey's cabriolet to keep up wi:h
them. Mr. Canning arrived at the Foreign Office before a
quarter to five o'clock, having rode about 13 miles in less than
an hour and a half. The Right Hun. Gentleman proceeded
forthwith to attend to official business. Prince Esterhazy, who
arrived in London on Tuesday evening from Paris, went to the
Foreign Office to inquire after Mr. Secretary Canning's health.
Mr. Huskisson also went there .for the same purpose. Mr.
Canning slept at Gloucester Lodge last night.

Bt,USSELS, JULY 26.—His Royal Highness the
Hereditary Prince of PRUSSIA leaves the Palace
of Loechen to•day, to return to Berlin. Viscount
Dunes de GHISIGNIS, who, as we have stated,
has been appointed Commissioner General in our
possessions in the East Indies, set out yesterday
for the Hague. We learn that he will very
shortly embark for his new destination. It seems
that his Lady and children will continue, during
his absence, to reside in the Hotel of the Govern-
ment at Brussels.

LILLE, JULY strictest orders have
been received on the frontiers to hinder the in-
troduction into France of the Life qf Scipio
Ricci, .Bishop of Pistosa, printed in Belginm.
Even travellers are most narrowly watched. One
would think the book ' was infected with the
plague.

Accidents by fire become more and more fre-
quent in the Southern Provinces of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands ; several have occurred
within these few (Nys, which are ascribed to
negligence or imprudence. The village of Saart,
near Spa, was destroyed yesterday ; of 60 houses,
43 were burnt down yesterday by five o'clock in
the aftetnooff. The fire broke out in a black-
smith's shop, and was so violent that it commu-
nicated to-five or six houses at once. This dread-
ful event was not known at Spa till half-past five
o'clock in the afternoon. Almost the whole po-
pulation went to the spot to render . assistance,
but the violence of the wind, and the want of
water, rendered all their efforts vain. On one
side of the village only (me house remains stand-
ing.—(BruNsels Paper, July 26.)
CADtz, JUNE 10.—The Spanish -armed brig
Pezuela, Capt. Nlanoel Querada, arrived in this port on the 7th
from Quolia Malvinas and Bahia tie St. Salvador, in five
months from the first place, and fifty days from the last. It
brings dispatches for the Government and 118 officers and sol-
diers of the army of Peru. Owing to the length of the voyage,
she of course brings no news from Peru, having sailed at the
same time as the Yea, which brought the first dispatches to
this port.

The last German papers state, that the wages
of all the servants attached to the Court esta-
blishment at Hanover have been diminished in
Iproportion to their respective amount.
Extract of a letter dated Hanover, July 16 :
CC About 4000 heavy stone of wool were brought
to the wool fair held on the 11th, 12th, and 13th.
Aft was sold by the end of the 2d day, and there
was such a great demand that 20 times the quan-
tity of WOOl would not have sufficed. The prices
