ItEP}AL ASSOCIATION.

The following is a report of the proceedings at the
Corn Exchange, after the despatch of my letter yes-
terday :
Mr. O'CONNELL again rose and said—l now wish to
give notice, for the next day of meeting, of the basis
which I wish to recommend as that on which the Re-
peelers, both in and out of Parliament, ought to conduct
their future operations. We have hitherto supported, to
our utmost, a Ministry that have outlawed the Repealers,
and I am now going to Parliament to give them that sup-
port for the last time. In the struggle which will en-
sue the Tories will obtain a victory over them, and
must then come into office ; and from that time my
connection with -.the Whigs totally ends on the present
basis —(Hear, and cheers.) At the present election- it
was mutually understood. I do not know that there was
any direct agreement entered into, but, at least, it
was understood that the Repealers were not to disturb
the return of any of the Whigs to Parliament, and that
the Whigs were, in their turn, not to disturb the return
of Repealers in possession of any seats in the House of
-Commons. I.believe I was the only man who spoke of
this as a compact ; but, at all events, the Whigs most
honourably supported their part of the arrangement; and
the case of the county of Mayo is one of the strongest.
proofs that they behaved with the very best good faith.
—(Hear, hear.) I submit that we have done the same.
—(Hear, hear.) It may be said that my unseating Mr.
Corbally from Meath was an infringement on our side ;
but that could-N*l;le the case, as the whole thing was
done without my knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) Nothing
could be more delightful to me than to have such a com-
pliment paid me ; but, at the same time, I could
not but regret that so excellent a man as Mr. Corbally
was to be set aside, even for a moment, on my account.
—(Hear, hear.) I accordingly looked about me for
another constituency, in which the candidate, as was the
case with Barry in Cork, would not have any objection
to retire, so that I could continue to keep my compact
with the Whigstfree in all its operations.—(Hear, hear.)
But let be remembered what our support of the Whigs
was. We supported them not for any benefit they were
doing to our cause, for they were going too slow for us,
but to keep out the Tories from office, as in the present
state of the bench in Ireland it is most material for the
good of the country that the Tories should not get in at -
present. The stream of justice, must continue to run sa-
cred; no mephitic mixture should be allowed to again
mingle with the: water which was beginning to arrive at ;a,
state of purity; a mixture alike destructive to life and blight-
ing to property.—(Loud cheers.) No, we struggled to
keep in the Whigs, but we have been defeated ; the
Tories have gained- the ascendancy in the Government,
but that ascendancy cannot continue long.—(Hear, and
cheers.) I think it is utterly impossible that they could
continue long in power.—(Hear.) It is not in the nature
of things that they should ; their own party disaffections
cannot allow them to keep altogether; the links that now
bind them are a national antipathy against the Irish, and
a bigoted hatred towards the religion of Ireland. That
chain must soon burst, and the result will be that the
Tory faction will be scattered in the winds, the Radi-
cal Reformers will obtain the helm, and England,
Ireland, and Scotland will once again have a chance of
_ranking foremost in the history of the civilized world.
..._(Hear, and cheers.) I mean, therefore, to propose,
on tLe next day of meeting, the plan which I
intend should be the basis of our future proceedings. I
intend, by this plan, to point out what species of Minis-
try it is that we will in future support, and what Ministry
we will not support. Lord John Russell came forward
lately with an admirable paper ; it was clear, distinct,
and manly. I admire that paper as far as it gOes and I
admire the principles on which it has been founded, and
as far as they extend; but I say that it is too narrow, that
it will not do, and that the principles must be extended.
Parliament is now too long, and the period of its dura-
tion must therefor6l49 reduced. The principle on which
the representation is arranged must also be altered. It
cannot be endured that Harwich is to have an equal num-
ber of representatives as Cork, with its 750,000 inhabi-
tants. The franchise must be also extended, so as to
afford an adequate representation for the whole people.
Above all things the ballot must be introduced.—(Cheers.)
The Ministry who shall have my support hereafter must
purchase it. They must bribe me.—(Laughter.) My
bribe is extended suffrage—my bribe is amended repre-
sentation—my bribe is the ballot—my bribe is, shorten
the duration of Parliament.—(Cheers.) I will support
no Ministry that does not promise to support these mea-
sures.—(Loud cheers.) I do not want to bind a Minis-
ter down to my particular definition of the extent of the
franchise. I am for every man having a vote—l am for
household suffrage. I mean by that, that every man
who owns a house, or is a lodger in a house, should have
V, vote. I do not want that persons having no permanent
residence should have liberty to vote, wherever he
wished to go, but that any person having a fixed resi-
dence, whether lie be a householder or lodger, should
be entitled to vote.(Hear, and cheers.) When I avowed
it as my deliberate opinion that the best of the English
constituencies were for the most part swayed with a
feeling of implacable hatred towards the people of Ire-
land—when I averred that the great majority of the
English nation were • essentially our enemies, I was
taunted by sonic, laughed at by others, and occasionally,
but rarely, I was met by arguments. My Lord Char-
lemont condescended to canvass the question with me,
and he referred with pride to the great constituencies
of England as falsifying my assertion. " All these,"
said he, " feel fur our sufferings and compassionate our
sorrows—all these send men to Parliament who are the
friends of Ireland." And he instanced London then.
But let him remember that two of the representatives
that sit for London now are our enemies. He instanced
Westminster then, but one of the Members for Westmin-
ster is now against ns. He instanced Leeds then, but in
Leeds there is now one Member an open enemy, and
the other but a half-and-half friend. He instanced York
then, but York; to its eternal dishonour be it spoken, has
discarded the most amiable and talented man of all who
sit in the British House of Commons, in the person of
Lord Morpetli.—(Hear.) Well, then, I now emphatically
repeat what I have before uttered again and again, that
in English hearts we vainly look for sympathy. England
is now more than' ever degraded by that hateful spirit of
bigotry and intolerance Which fur aces has debased and
dishonoured her national character.---(Hear.) In all ages
Eng&nd has been degraded and disgraced by her bigotry.
—(klear.) They have got a great doctor among them,
to be sure—Doctor Peel.—(Laughter.) I fear the Irish
children, when they sce him pass„ in London, will be una-
nimous enough to cry " Quack ! " I am not," said he,
in his great speech the other day—" I am not going to
say anything to you."—(Laughter.) So on he went, and
continued, in a long speech, to explain to the people
that he didn't intend speaking a word.—(Hear, hear.)
The fellow spent half an hour actually in telling them he
wouldn't say anything.--(Hear,
hear, and loud roars of
laughter.) `• but lie managed Ah, cunning little Isaac"
for all that to slide in something by way of parenthesis ;
" change the plipWan," says he, "for he has not the
confidence of the "'patient. They found England
in health, but they left her-in sickness." Why, the
dit
on
man's demented.—(A laugh.) What was the con
in which the Reform Ministryfound England ? In the
towns there was disaffection—(Hear, hear)—in the
agrarian portion of the kingdom neither life nor pro-
perty was worth a day's purcha?e, and burnings were car-
ried on to such excess that the southern counties were in
one blaze. Special Commissions were of daily recur-
rence, and it was deemed expedient to prevent the King
frOm proCeeding to London to dine with the Lord Mayor.
Yes, surrounded though the Monarch was with his guards
—environed on all sides with the staff of' the loyal hearts
of all the subjects in his household—Wellington, the
great Wellington, almost fainted at the thought that the
.King should be rash enough to expose his life by going I
into the city of London. In the thowns there was, as
have already remarked, combination, tumult, discontent,
and distrust—in the fields there was rapine, fire, and
sword—and this was the state of being which Doctor Peel
called health.—(Laughter.) The quack, he but displayed
his own ignorance. Health, indeed ! Such a state of
health as Tory misrule will again bring upon the country.
He talks of the corruption of the Whigs, forsooth ! Did
he ever hear that at the late election the Tories gave two
thousand five hundred pounds fur ten votes ? It is well
known besides that three other Tory voters were pro-
vided for by the . conscientious Torymen.—(Laughter.)
Peel says the Whigs found England in health ! Can he
forget chat-Chartism convulsed the land at the time ?
(Hear, hear.) Dees Peel fancy he can make the patient
well ? Can he give food to the starving operative, or
work to the unempli)Yed artisan ? Is lie aware that in
Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport, Leeds, and all the
great towns of Eno-land, a degree of wretchedness
exists, unparalleled in . the history of the kingdom ?.
In Glasgow, too, and in Paisley, things wear quite as
sad an aspect. Banks are breaking hourly, and day
after day the manufactories are closing. Never was
there a time so fraught with distress and poverty, and yet
this is the expresi moment when the intellectual and dis-
cerningg countrymen of Doctor Peel turn out the Minis-
try who were kindly disposed to them,_ and who were
willing to alleviate their sufferings, and in their place
they let in those who are proverbially the oppressors of
the people.(lrear; hear.) At present there is no symp-
tom of a reftirined society in En-gland ; but when I go
there I shall again blow the trumpet of Reform.—
Cheers.) From their
greatest insanity ; for I ask, was there
present acts they must be labour-
lug' under the
ever greater insanity •extubited
among Statesmen than to.

think of going to war with the people of Ireland ? To Sir
Robert Peel, I say, quack doctor I thank you, but it is a
quack medicine you offer us, and it wont do.—(Hear, and
laughter.) I admit the high qualities, in many instances,
of the English people ; but there is nothing I admire
theta more for than this—when they go to battle, it has
ever been the determination amongst them, as it should
be (for every man ought to go into battle with the deter-
mination), to die, but not to yield. Their moat glorious
victories, Cressy, Poictiers, and Agincourt, were all
gained on that principle. They went to battle not to be
conquered—they went to battle to die, if necessary, but
never to go back ; and, acting on the same p.rinciple, Ire-
land on a more recent day helped them to gain Waterloo.
No, my friends, the time is come when every man in
Ireland, when he goes to bed at night should lay his
head on his pillow, not so much to sleep as to ruminate.
Nothing would your enemies desire more, in any one
way they view it, than a precocious insurrection. No-
thing would they more anxiously wish for than a prema-
ture tumult, even though they forced you to do it. Let
no man, therefore, be mad enough to indulge them until
they actually compel him to it.—(llear.) Le jeu n'en
vaut pas la chandelle. The game is not worth the candle
they would burn in playing it.—(Laughter.) If they
declared war against Ireland to-morrow, what would
be the value of their Three per Cent. Consols ? and
how much of the national debt would they get for Bir-
mingham shillings ? Why, not the value of a copper
farthing.—(Laughter.) Let me whisper John Bull, and
say a word in his friendly ear. Let me tell him that the
steam-boats which they say bring us near England can
come in ten days from America.—(Tremendous cheer-
ing, which lasted for several minutes.) The hideous
Times newspaper has had the audacity to talk of the
crimes committed in Ireland during the recent election !
I did not hear that a single opponent of burs was as-
saulted in the slightest manner—l did not hear of a
single case having been brought to the police-office. I
believe not a single case of any assault or outrage was
committed by the people.—(Hear.) To be sure there
were scenes of turbulence at Waterford and at Carlow, but
who were the atrocious perpetrators of the horrible out-
rages which took place ? The Orangemen.—(Hear,
hear.) The Times says that a man named Dwyer was
killed in Carlow, but I never heard of it before, and the
statements put forward in the same paper regarding Cork
are utterly false.—(Hear.) The Times comes out and ac-
cuses us of turbulence and crime, and the shedding of
human blood ! Oh, yes, blood was shed, but it was shed
by Orangemen—the blood of the little innocent children
was shed at Waterford, and a woman was shot in Carlow,
who fortunately did not die, and the fellow was acquitted
because he only shot a woman.—(Hear.) Another mis-
creant wounded eleven children at Waterford, and yet we
bear it while the-rascally Times ,ealls us turbulent. In
:he county of Cork they have murdered a man, and eight
Protestants and four Catholics who were on the Jury
have returned a verdict of wilful murder. The father,
poor man, was beating in his little boys, that he inisiit
keep them away from even witnessing a scene of riot,
and for doing that the Orangemen beat him to death.—
Exclamations of horror.) A man was murdered in
Kerry. How did that happen ! Mr. Herbert had to go
to Tralee, a distance of twenty-five miles, and he makes
it forty, by adding fifteen as a round to it. He got up a
party of people, wite whom he traverses the country to
show his strength—he stopped at Mr. M‘Gillicuddy's,
who has no voters, thovgh possessing a large estate,
and there gets a strong reinforcement. Mr. Herbert
heads this party, and is armed, when a scuffle ensues,
during which a stone is thrown, and a man unfortunately
murdered. This is the cause, and the only cause. Mr.
Herbert's man was g Catholic, of course, and was killed
under the circumstances which I have related ; and al-
though I do not say that gentleman intended that any
thing sayingof the kind should occur, yet I cannot help
that if he intended to create riot, the course which he
pursued was exactly that which would bring such a scene
about.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of going the direct road
which would carry his voters to Tralee, lie makes a,tour
of fifteen miles through the country, manifestly to show
his strength and that of his party to the people through
whom he must necessarily pass.—(Hear, hear.) They
kne,w that that party were determined to. take away our
suffrages and extinguish our franchise ; but I say, let
them do so if they dare.—(Loud cheers.) I have de-
tained this meeting at great length.—(No, no.) Let my
voice go through the land ; be cautious of your enemies,
whose wish must be that you place yourselves in the wrong ;
violate no law, gi re them no advantage over you even by
accident ; respect the Queen, that amiable and beloved
Monarch ; keep, preserve for her, your allegiance un-
purchased and unpurchasable. She may, like another
Monarch, have to fly among you for protection.—
(Cheering.) Oh ! I was about indulgingin the aspira-
tion that it might be so, and if it were, he mocks me
much who talks of my .dvancing age.—(Tremendous
cheering, which lasted for several minutes, and was
again and again renewed.) lam older, to be sure, than
when I commenced this contest, but my heart is still
young, and my arm is as powerful and as vigorous as
ever it was , and my heart and arm she shall have
against every enemy.—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL announced that on to-morrow (this
day), at three o'clock, he would be in attendance at the
Corn Exchange to meet the delegates from the various
parish clubs on business of importance, The meeting
would not be open to the press.---(Hear, hear.) The
Learned Gentleman then announced the amount of repeal
rent received during the past week as 276/. 16s. Bd.
The meeting then separated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 5.
MARLING V. KIRBY.
The further arguments in this part-heard appeal
motion occupied the Court the whole morning.

VICE -CHANCELLOR' S COURT, Aug. 5.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed
petitions to-day, none of which were of any interest, ex-
cept to the parties concerned.

SHERIFFS COURT, Aug. 5.

MARSHALL V. CUMMINS.

This was an action to recover the sum of 31. ss. for
use and occupation of part of the plaintiff's house, situate
in Clifton-street, Finsbury.
The defendant took part of the house of the plaintiff
at the yearly rent of 131., and the present action was to
recover the amount of one quarter in arrear.
On the part of the defendant it was stated that the
plaintiff had been threatened by his landlord with a dis-
tress, and the defendant was requested by the wife of
the plaintiff to remove his goods in the early part
of the quarter, and a removal immediately took
place. Witnesses were called, but they failed to prove
this, and the Learned Under-Sheriff directed the Jury to
find a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount
claimed.

SALISBURY V. WALKER..

This was an action to recover the sum of 151. 3s. 9d.
for goods sold and delivered.

The defendant pleaded, first, that he was not in-
debted ; and, secondly, a set off.
Mr. Thomas conducted the case for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Payne appeared for the defence.
The plaintiff is a jeweller in Tottenham-court-road,
and also a licensed victualler ; and the defendant is a
livery-stable keeper, residing in the same place.
The present action was brought on account of several
articles, - consisting of biandy, wine, and spruce-beer,
having been supplied to the defendant by the plaintiff ;
and also for the amount of a gold chain and sundry re-
pairs done to jewellery for the defendant ; one item in
the account was for painting and lettering a gate of
the defendant's, which it was alleged was performed
at the instance of the plaintiff for the defendant,
and for which 9/. los. was charged in the
particulars. To prove this item a witness was called,
who said he saw a man, who was called "Joe," painting
the gate, and that he (Joe) had been working on the
premises of the plaintiff.
This being the case for the plaintiff, witnesses were
called on the part of the defence, to prove the set-off.
The principal part of the set-off was for money lent,
but as the parties at the time were on very intimate terms,
no acknowledgements were taken. There were various
sums of 1/. and 21., but the only proof was that on one
occasion a witness heard the plaintiff ask the defendant
to lend him some money, and he (the witness) saw the
defendant put his hand in his pocket and give some-
thing to the plaintiff. The other amounts of
the set. off were for horses and gigs lent on hire by
the defendant to the plaintiff. There was an article
charged in the particulars of the plaintiff for the mount-
ing with silver a riding whip. To this the defendant
stated that the whip in question was a gift from
the plaintiff to the defendant, and a witness
was put torward_to prove that the plaintiff had applied
to him (the witness) to lend him (the plaintiff) the mould
ot. a
whip which
hoof, to take a pattern for the mounting of
fendaifltwhich he intended to make a present of to the de-
fendant.
.ntA bill was also put in from the plaintiff to the
in which there was no charge for the whip,

being a balance of rent due to the plaintiff.
It was attempted in this case to prove that the defen-
dant was not the tenant, but that a female, with
whom he cohibited, but who passed for his
wife, had taken the house ; but no proof was shown that

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
IN THE MATTER OF SELDON AND MANN.
The bankrupts formerly carried on business as wine
and spirit merchants in Water-lane, Great Tower-street.
This'case, which has created considerable interest, came
on this.day for further investigation, when the bankrupt
Mann again surrendered to pass his adjourned final exa-
mination, which had been postponed from the 21st of
July ; Seldon at that time was allowed to pass.
At the last meeting it was alleged that the bankrupt
Mann withheld various books of great importance, with
a view to the concealment of property. He gave an ex-
planation before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque that he
concluded these books were either in the hands of their
late traveller, who had been in possession of various do-
cuments for a considerable time, relating to fhe business,
or that, when an execution was placed in the warehouse
by the Sheriffs in November last, they had been mislaid
or lost.
Thomas Gilling, the person in question, restored the
missing books to the official assignee, thus exonerating
the bankrupt. The liabilities were heavy, but many
creditors held securities upon Mann's private estate,
and otherwise which would amply repay ; those who did
did not hold security caused the bankruptcy.
Mr. KEANE urgently pressed forthe passing of his

client, and made a powerful appeal in his favour. Mr.
Keane also stated that, however imprudent the bankrupt
might have been in disposing of a large sum of money
which he Ind received for the sale of an estate, relative
to which this day he• bad undergone a most strict inves-
tigation, he was much to be pitied, as the bankrupt had
been completely ruined by innumerable law-suits, and
various other matters, which had absorbed a much larger
amount than Mann had embarked in business ; in fact,
his total loss was computed at 3,0001. Mr. Keane was
prepared to show, and slibmitted, that no blame whatever
could be attributed to Mann, whom he represented.
Mr. PoLLocx, who attended for the creditors, still per-
sisting in his objections,
Mr. Commissioner PANE adjourned the case until
Tuesday next, by which time he hoped the bankrupt
Mann would be, enabled to prOvide a more clear and
satisfactory aecouv, and produce vouchers for the dis-
position of the cash he had received in January last.
