IRELAND,

CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.
[From tht Dublin Morning Post of July 14.] ,

Ou Saturday the Catholic Association met at
their rooms, No. d, Capel-street. At half-past three o'clock
Joseph Wionnell, Esq. was called to the chair.

- -
' The proceedings of the former day's meeting, and notices of
motions having been read by Richard O'Gorman, Esq., secre-
tary pro temp., that Gentleman read a letter addressed by Earl
Grey to Nicholas, Purcell O'Oorthan, Esq., secretary of the
esthetic Association, of which the following is a copy:—
" Ilanover.square, July b.
" Sir—Your letter of the 28th ult. has only .this moment
reached me. ,
" I.aul much flattered by the confidence of the Catholic As.
soeiationl and should have felt, in forwarding and presenting
their Petaled, and in supporting it to the best of my power,
that I was disc,harging both an honourable and a pleasant duty;
but I am unfortunately under the necessity of leaving London
ott 'Wednesday, and, must, therefore, recommend et to you
to COMDlit the care of your idterests on this occasion to other
bands. '
" Indeed, the session is now so fur advanced, that there
would be DO good opportunity for a discussion on so important
a subject.; but the Petition may be forwarded with a view to ;
a resumption of the subject when Parliament re-assembles.
I *hall then by happy to affbrd any assistance in my power;
but to triable me to do so, it would be necessary to furnish
me with detailed,statements and facts, which can be made out
b evidence if required, in,,support of the
,allegations Of the
Petition.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,.
" Your Most heimble servant,
" GREY.

" To N. P. O'Gorman, Esq., 4, Capel-street, Dublin."
Mr.O'CONN.ELi. said,that he rose to propose a vote of thanks
to Henry Brougham, Esq., for his late splendid exertions in
Parliament, in support of • the Petition on the administration of
justice in Ireland. It was the first occasion they took of putting
• It petition into the hands of any hot an"lriah Member, and the
result was, 50 far, most favourable. Ile did not think it would
have been proper to have entered into details on the subject in
thaLpeiltion : he thought it more advisable to speak in general
'terms in the first instance ; this, however, was not from want
nf evidence as to particular facts, the Injustice was as notorious-
as the sun at noon.day. The debate on that petition con.
tainedmuch instruction, as it showed what they had to expect.
!gr. Brougham, after making one of the most talented and
energetic speeches ever heardin the Hotise of Commons, was
followed,by Colonel Bsrry; and also by Mr. GoulhutP, both
of whom opposed the petition, and the latter Gentleman, on
this notable argument • —lle (Mr. (loulbum) mild, that
in the petition he (Mr. O'Connell) spoke highly orthe Couit of
Bench t but the petition contained nothing relative to
other. Judges. What he (Mr. O'Connell) said in that petition
was tint flattery, it was not used for the purpose of advancing his
interest; and the praise bestowed there had its justification in the
'Vence obterved with respect to others. Mr. lien them, or, as he is
familiarly tented,Jereiny Ilentham,has said that a jury is acheck
upon Judges; but our Judges. in this instance, are a cheek
uponjuries. It Would seem at if Mr. GoulbUrn had been sent hefe
ass check upon Lora Wellesley, for fear his Excellency would be
too liberal. Mr. G. had serVed hit apprenticeship in this coon--
t 1.7. Secretaries were seat here in Order to q4alify them for higher
situations in England, as barbers' apprentices were first rent to
shave beggars.—(Laughter ;)-rand frequently they 'curse' the
shock for being too thin, when they chance to cut their fingers
ID shaving.--(Continuedlaughter.)—Tt. would be idle to talk
of the, purity of ii- Jury, in a trial between a Catholic and an
Orangeman; 'where that . Jury is formed Of 12 " brothers,"
chosen from amongst the antagonists of the Catholic. Mr.
Goulburn, who is reapectable gentleman, is of no great calibre
in point of talent; with such talent as he possesses, he defends
the present system of the administration of justice ip Ire-
land; but they had the authority of. Sir John Fable!" for
saying that it was no disgrace' to a man to labour in his
vixettiOn." The next defender of that system was Colonel
Barry,, who *lke, forsooth, of Magna Charla. In England
:the toast Enikine arid the Trial by Jury ;" whilst among
tbe opiogenien in Ireland, it is " Colonel Barry and the
1'444 y." Was this the same Colonel Barry, and had
:he, erases eye improved yeae.l79B, so much. by his English edu-
eation ? 14_1(4kk cane Mr. Richard Martin, Member for Gal-
will, and Janie' ,Daly, He (Mr. O'Connell) did not think
thty had wprse enemies than Mr. Martin and Mr. Daly.—
Whit signified' their vete, on the' Other discussion—that of Ca-
tholic Emancipation, which was a mere mockery and a farce—.
when they pond them; the: representatives of Catholic Galway,
agavt tmem on every other subject. They were not
• afraid of their own enemies, the Orangemen;
_bqt they should
guard vigilantly against the efforts pretended friends. Of Mr.
Christopher Hutchinson he was afraid to Speak—he owed him
It lasting debt of gratitude. Mr. • Hutchinson opposed the
Taros. Lie always employed his active, energetic, and strenuous
' exertion's, in support of every measure connected with the interest
!‘of Ipelatid_, and if he did err on that single occasion, he stands:
in all other respects unstained. In the discussion on that
.petition, the reply tell to Mr. Brougham: he followed the
'job to his den. When taunted with the mode in which the
letter addressed to a judge was brought forward, althoughnhe
was in possession of the fact of its havisg been accidentally„
perhaps he should say providentially, asund on the high-
way, lee -did not think it worth his while to state that fact,
bid brought his fire into the enemy's camp, awl asked
them Where got 'you the Queen's letter ?" The publication
of that letter; while it prevented one man from being a Judge,
has certainly not ornamented the career of another. Amongst
the opposers of their petition was Mr. 'Peel, who was a good
working man t )Robinson, who was good at figures of arith,
metic; arid Mr. (running, who was good at figures of speerih.—
kr. Broughani was, in fact, a giant amid pigmies. In speaking
`of him it would reqiiitia portion of his own talent to do justice
to his. If ever the day should arrive when they should erect
in this country—not a Wellington testimonial, or a Nelson pil.
tar, but--a column to Justice, the first name inscribed on that
, column, cloie to the alter. of. Matice;-ahrould' be that of Henry
Brougham.
Mg. O'Connell's motion being seCnded, was then moved,
and carried tnanimuusly."
it was then resolved, that a copy of this Resolution auOilict be
trinstuirted to:Henry Itroughauri, Esq.
Time Meeting then adjourned, after, thanks to dig Mimeo
to the last Saturday in October* •
