CAPTAIN It. A. REYIN 01 DS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL AT BRIGHTON.

It is said that a general subscription will be forth-
with commenced for the purpose of presenting Captain
Reynolds with a service of plate ; and, further, that
the inhabitants of Brighton intend to invite him to a
public sinner. Should a subscription be opened, there
is not the slightest doubt but a very large sum of money
will, in a very short time, be raised, as there is an almost
universal feeling in favour of the gallant Captain.
The sentence has caused an e:ttraorclinary sensation
throughout the metropolis, and several thousand pounds,
it is said, have changed hands ; large bets having been
made that a severe reprimand would have been the re-
sult of the quarrel with him and the Earl of Cardigan.

TO THE WATERLOO-13RIDGE

PROPRIETORS.

GENTLEMEN—As few of you attend our assemblies,
it behoves me to state through this medium, that I differ
so essentially from the majority of your Committee, that
it is useless for me to remain thereon. I know that our
revenue might be doubled, and therefore will not con-
tinue diseussieg trivial matters, while the most important
is neglected. ,
The lowered horse-toll brings twice as many persons,
all from the same classes as used to come before ; but a
lower foot-path would not only double our present kind
of passengers,. but would bring the work people, who are
far more numerous than all the rest of society together.
Our foot receipts were more, fifteen years ago, al-
though a new street has been since opened to the bridge,
and the population near it, is inceased by 30,000 per-
sons. With much trouble I have ascertained that after
the year 1825, those inhabitants on the Surrey side who
had constant occasion to pass over the bridge, have
generally removed, because of the high toll ; and even
substantial tradesmen in the Strand, who do not mind
giving a shilling, will not give a penny for what is worth
only a halfpenny ; yet it is expected of poorer men to
pay the larger coin ; and even of a labourer to pay (for
coming and going) that twopence which buys his beer
at supper.
I have ascertained that 80,000 persons in working-
dress, cross Blackfriars and Westminster-bridges daily,
while hardly any such pay our toll, except in foul
weather ; and then the number paying proves that
many want our preferable thoroughfare. The road-gate
revenue offers no criterion against lowering the foot-
payments, because the means for increasing it are li-
mited ; while the people desirous of passing turnstiles
are innumerable.
Experienced persons, who employ many workmen
near the bridge, declare that those men would frequent
it if the toll was reduced ; and one of our most consi-
derate Members of Parliament wrote to me, of his
being prd pared to prove that a farthing toll would be
very advantageous to us ; but I know that a half-penny
toll would double our dividends, and raise the shares to
101. each.
Many indifferent persons think our revenue would be
much improved by a lower toll ; and wonder who it is
that influences the Committee, and misleads the proprie-
tors to injure themselves fot the seeming purpose of
thwarting the public-
There is a general wish in the neighbourhood for this
reduction, and if it is delayed, Hungerford-bridge will
be established with a halfpenny toll ; and then, al-
though we adopt that payment, the public will justly
avoid our bridge, in disapprobation of conduct so op-
posite to the benevolent feelings of Englishmen. I have
much respect for the Gentlemen on our Committee,
but since its majority is so very careful as to oppose
this trial, for fear of riots if the penny toll is restored
(like refusing a chance of paradise, for fear of a diffi-
culty in getting out), I will not participate in the
praise due to such prudence : and, notwithstanding my
stake is the largest, must forego the honour of con-
tinuing on your Committee after our next assembly,
though still remaining, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and obliged humble Servant,
THOMAS MORGAN.

RISE OF DISCOUNT.—A notice was issued at the
Bank of Ireland this day, increasing the rate of discount
upon Bills of Exchange from five to six per cent.

THE NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
A very numerous meeting of the Association was
held to-day at the Corn Exchange. At half-past one
o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the room amid the
plaudits of the assembly. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman was attired in a grey frock coat, with a
velvet collar of the same colour, and Repeal buttons—
the intended uniform of the Repeaters.
ROBERT WCLELLAND, Esq., was called to the
Chair.
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, in proposing the admission
of some gentlemen, denied the statement which had
appeared in one of the papers that " the Rogue's March'
was played at the
.Kilkenny dinner on the health of
the Lord-Lieutenant having been drunk. The state-
ment was altogether unfounded.
Mr. D. O'CONNELL also denied that the " Rogue's
March" had been played on the occasion referred to.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded his
speech by reading an address to the Earl of Charlervont,
recommendatory of repeal. We give the following
sentences, which will serve to show the nature and ob-
ject of the address ; it is signed by Mr. O'Connell as
Chairman of the Association :
" We do not ask you, my Lord, to join us in looking
for the restoration of that glorious temple of liberty
which your lamented father so powerfully contributed
to erect. We urge you not out of the course which
perhaps an over-cautious policy—perhaps superior wis-
dom—induces you to pursue ; but we know full well
that you will not always bear, not only the pang of hope
deferred, but the insulting grief of hope destroyed.
" The noble and the venerated name of Charlemont
will once again appear at the head of Ireland's peaceful
fight. Your illustrious sire achieved the Revolution of
1782, pure and firm in his allegiance to the Throne ;
faithful in his attachment to the people—he achieved it
without the violation of any law human or divine—
without the spoliation or destruction of one atom of any
man's property ; without the shedding of one drop of
human blood.
Such, at least, is the struggle in which re are en-
gaged, and, therefore, we are more than justified—we
are impelled to lay before your Lordship the expression
of enthusiastic veneration for the memory of your
father, accompanied by the tear of sorrow for the sad
alteration in the affairs of Ireland, but enlivened with
the hope, that she is not dead but only sleeps, and that
the day may yet arrive when you, my Lord, will sound
the trumpet for her reeurrection."
REPEAL MEETING IN DROGIIEDA.—Last Monday
Mr. O'Connell made his public entry into Drogheda,
escorted by from sixty to one hundred thousand per-
sons, whose reception of the Liberator was most en
thusiastie. After the_proccs4on passed the principal
streets, it arrived at the residence of Alderman Smith,
on the M:dl, in front of which a spacious platform was
elected for the accommodation of the principal speakers
and the gentlemen connected with the public press.
When Mr. O'Connell, and the gentlemen who accom-
panied him, ascended it, there was a salute fired from
the shipping in the river, all of which had their colours
gaily floating from their mast heads, and were crowded
by thousands who chose their rigging as a convenient
place to view the imposing spectacle as it passed along
the quay. Shortly after Mr. O'Connell ascended the
platform, he cried out to the crowd to make way for Mr.
Arkins, who was endeavouring to force his passage
through the dense masses, but being unable to press
forward, Mr. O'Connell again cried out," Hand me my
coat." A parcel, containing a frieze coat with a velvet
collar, was then passed over the heads of the people,
and given into Mr. O'Connell's hands, who doffed his
superfine black and mounted the native frieze, amidst
the enthusiastic plaudits of the meeting. Alderman
Smith, late Mayor of Drogheda, having been put in the
(ha r, Mr O'Connell addressed the assembled thousands
in a speech differing but little in matter from those
which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has repeatedly
delivered during the Repeal agitation. In the evening
the members of the trades of Drogheda entertained
Mr. O'Connell at a public dinner, which was laid out
in the Linen-hall. Upwards of seven hundred sat down
to the entertainment. Alderman Smith presided.
After the health of " the Queen," of " Prince Albert,"
and of " the Duke of Sussex," respectively had been
drunk, Mr. O'Connell wai called upon to acknowledge
the honour done to " The Liberator of Ireland," which
he did in a spirited speech.
