Air". O'CONNELL then proceeded to observe, that
there was one subject upon which he thought no time
should be lost in pronouncing the opinion of the Asso -
ciation. He alluded to the cases the details of which
had met the eye of every one present in the public
prints—details which had horrified every one who
heard of them—of the miserable sufferings of the Irish
paupers in their deportation to this country from
England. Nothing more horrible than these de-
tails had he ever encountered. The management
of, and interference 'iwith, their affairs by Eng-
land presented an uninterrupted series of events of a
sad and afflictive nature connectea with this unfortu-
nate country.—(Hear' hear,) .svould-seete,..as if
England, being fearful they should become—ohlivions
of her cruelties, was determined to prevent them be-
coming so, by a constant repetition of her cruelty and
oppression. They seized on'tbe Irish helpless pauper,
who had spent the best of his days and strength to
increase the wealth of England—they seized him
after having got the value of the labour of his youth
and manhood, and dragged him and his wretched
family from the cabin in which they lived, at the
dead of night, and placed them on board of a ship in
the midst of the severest weather, in a state of de-
bility from disease, at the imminent risk of their lives.
It was well that these scenes should be placed on their
records, for they were part of the long, black, and
heavy indictment which they had to bring against
England for her long-continued oppressive and tyran-
nical treatment of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The
learned speaker then read to the] association: the
details of the sufferings of the Irish paupers trans-
mitted by the Duchess of Kent steamer to this country
during the last week, and then proceeded :—These
murders—for murders they were—by the parish
authorities of England, sanctioned by the statesmen
in the English Parliament, and by the writers of the
English press—(Hear, hear)—these murders would
go on unless the peopleof Ireland aroused themselves
and proclaimed their -determination not to receive
their paupers from England, unless their tabsentee
landlords were transmitted to this country along with
sthhearedt readmi. n o Mf

Mr. O'HBA addressed the association on the same
or.
the
subject. He altogether disapproved of the verdict of
the jury which sat on the bodies of the two persons
who died on board the steam-packet on the occasion
in question. Such an act of unparalleled atrocity
never presented itself even amongst savages ; and, in
his opinion, any conscientious Jury would find the
persons who had sent these unfortunate paupers
on board ship under such circumstances guilty of
murder.—(Hear, and cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in putting the motion, also ex-
pressed his opinion that the act of the English parish
authorities made them guilty of cool and deliberate
murder. A red Indian in America would not treat
a brother as those Rochdale butchers had treated the
unfortunate boy Duignan, and with the blessing of
God, he would ring the changes on this subject in a
short time -hence in another House, which should be
nameless.—(Cheers.)
The motion then passed unanimously.
Mr. O'CONNELL again addressed the Association,
condemning the acts of the Government in stopping
the public works in Ireland, and stated, on the au-
thority of the Rev. Mr. Cochlan, of Kilmory, county
of Mayo, that no less than one thousand six hun-
dred persons, who had been thrown out of
employment by the cessation of those works, were
at that time in a state of utter starvation, and
without the slightest means of relieving themselves..___
(Hear, hear.) He warned the English Government
to provide some means of employment for the people
during the ensuing winter, when the greatest destitu-
tion would inevitably prevail, from a want of money
to purchase food. They had a glorious harvest, but
the greatest part of it would go to England to pay
the rents of their absentee landlords ; while the poor
small farmers were mulcted with an enormous
poor-rate which it was impossible for them to pay.
He shuddered to contemplate the torrents of blood
which would be shed when these oppressive rates
came to be collected. He would go so far as to dread
that all the horrors of insurrection would occur when
the collection of these rates was sought to be enforced
by the military power of England.—(Hear, hear.)
The learned gentleman concluded by advising that a
meeting should be held prior to the meeting of Par-
liament of all the Irish Members, Repealers and non-
Repealers, for the purpose of striking out a course of
policy to be worked out by them in unison together
tor the amelioration of the condition of the country.
The rent for the week having been announced as
891., the association adjourned.

WHOLESALE EVICTION or TENANTIZT.
Last week a great number of poor occupiers—
between 500 and 600 persons altogether—were
evicted from a property under the Court of Chancery,
in the county of Cavan, bordering on Meath. The
receiver under.: the court, who is a Member of the
House of Commons, acted on the occasion with
humanity and forbearance ; but, under the circum-
stances, he had no alternative but the performance of
a most painful duty. The multitude of wretched
outcasts, consisting of about 160 families, are now
seeking shelter in temporary huts erected in the
hedges about the neighbourhood. An application is
to be made to the Lord Chancellor for a grant out of
the funds in the cause, to enable the poor people to
emigrate to America, and there can be no doubt that
his Lordship will readily adopt that humane course,
if at all consistent with his duty.
