BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING, AUG. 3.—The ad-
journed meeting of the General Committee was held
yesterday afternoon, when, a series of invitations from
Manchester having been read, including the town coun-
cil, boroughreeve and constables, commissioners of
and all the literary and scientific bodies of that town, it
was unanimous) resolved that the meeting for next year
should be held in that town. It was also resolved that
the meeting be held in June, as most convenient for the
local officers.

The business of the sections yesterday was of a more
important character, but they were thinly attended. The
following were the communications :
SECTION A.—MATHEMATICS AND PHYSlCS.—Profes-
sor Kelland's report on Heat. Mr. de Moleyn on a new
Voltaic Combination ,of extraordinary energy. Profes-
sor Phillips on the Internal Temperature of York Min-
ster. Mr. Snow Harris's further Account of the Work-
ing of Whewell's Anemometer, erected at Plymouth, &c.
The other papers and the discussions which took place
were Olt° of a technical character.
SECTION B,—CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY.—Lir.
Dana, of Lowell, MASS..; 'United States, read a paper on a
Practical Method of Determining the Quantity of Real
Indigo in the Indio of Commerce; the indigo being dis-
solved by means of carbonate of soda and muriate of tin,
is precipitated by means of the bichrornate of potash,
washed with diluted muriatie acid, filtered, dried, and
weighed, the, precipitate being, that of pure indigo.
A paper was read from Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, enti-
tled, " Some Experiments," showing the possibility of
fire from the use of hot water in warming buildings, and
of explosions in steam-engine boilers. The paper detailed
a number of very curious experiments, which went to prove
that steam under high pressure was partially decomposed,
and that in a state of gaseous vapour it was capable of
heating the iron flues to such an extent that linen was
charred, gunpowder fired, and fusible metal melted.
The author suggested the use of fusible metal in
some parts of the pipes as a preventive, as melting
when the flues become too highly heated it al-
lows the escape of the vapour, and, of course, assists
in cooling the pipe. Dr. Daubeney read a paper of
much interest on the Disintegration of the I)olomotic
Rocks of the Tyrol. He suggested,
as a practical appli-
cation of his observations,
that their disintegration
might be much assisted by sulphuric acid, and being
thus converted into sulphate of lime, it would afford an
excellent; soil for vegetation. Mr. Predeau related
some results of experiments conducted with a view to the
protection of Copper Sheathing -.of Ships, iu which he
proved that the modern copper sheathing from the im-
purities it contains, is less durable than the copper pre-
pared many years since. He also suggested the applica-
tion of coal tar as a coating to protect the copper frem
the action of the saline matter of the sea.
SECTION C.—GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY.—D. E.
Moore described a raised beach, under Plymouth-hoe.
Professor Owen gave a RepQrt on Fossil Reptiles, pre-
pared at the request of the Association. He entered
very fully into the Osteology of these remains ; but the
paper, which was a very long detail, is not susceptible of
abridgement.
SECTION D. ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY.—Effect of Ani-
mal Exhalations on Plants, by Mr. Ball. This paper
proved the:injury, and often destruction, to plants in green-
houses, from decomposing animal bodies. The other
proceedings of this section were unimportant.
SECTION E.—MEDICAL SCIENCE.—This, the first meet-
ing of the Section, was well attended. The communica-
tions made were—A Statistical Report of Patients.of the
Plymouth Public Dispensary during the years 1838,
1839, and 1840, by Mr. Samuel Derry. Facts as yet
unnoticed in the Treatment of Squinting, by James Vose
Solomon.

SECTION F.— STATISTICS.—These papers were all
of a local character, and the discussions that ensued. of
trilling interest.
SECTION G.—MECHANICAL SCIENCE. Mr. W. S.
Harris exhibited and explained a model of Capt. Couch's
Chock Channels. The improvement consisted that the
channels were made solid, and fastened to the ships' side
by means of a bolt, which, if necessary, might be un-
clenched, when the whole would fall off, and. thus the
danger to be apprehended from the old channels would
be avoided. A report on the Steam-engine Constructs
Indicator, by Professor Mosley, for which 1001. was
awarded by the Association. The machine, it was con-
sidered, would produce correct results, a desideratum
long sought after. Sir Isambard Brunel gave an in-
teresting explanation of the Construction of the Thames
Tunnel, which he illustrated by a series of drawings,
but nothing novel was elicited iu the details.
The great object of attraction in the afternoon was the
launch of the Hindostan, a knowledge of which drew
together thousands from the surrounding country. The
afternoon turned out very unfavourable, the rain pouring
in torrents, but this was far from damping the ardour of
the spectators. The whole interior of the shed had
been fitted up with seats, in which five hundred mem-
bers were accommodated, whilst upwards of a thousand
persons were admitted on board. The San Joseph guard-
ship was moored opposite Xhe dock-yard, and the mem-
bers of the association were admitted on board that vessel
and the Caledonia, on the exhibition of their tickets.
This part of the Sound was crowded with boats, and the
opposite heights of Cornwall with spectators, and the
scene, notwithstanding the impetuous torrents of rain,
was most imposing. At a few minutes past 5 o'clock,
the ceremony of christening having been performed by
Mrs. General Ellis, the vessel was committed to her na-
tive element amidst the plaudits of the assembled thou-
sands. Soon after 9 o'clock another interesting object
was exhibited, in thejllumination of the Caledonia flag-
ship with port fires.
At the ordinaries in the afternoon, which were well
• attended, Professor Buckland presided at Davenport ; and
Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Bart., M.P., at Plymouth.

A MAN DRoe,,,7S HIMSELF AND ANOTHER
LOOKS oN.--Considerable sensation was excited in this
city on Tuesday afternoon by the report that a man had
thrown himself into the Basin and was drowned,
and that his companion, instead of rendering assist-
ance, stood coolly smoking his pipe.
The report
turned out to be true. The man who committed
the rash act, was John Hill, a shoemaker, and the
person who accompanied him to the fatal spot was a
poor rag of a creature named William Brown, a tailor.
They had been drinking together the greater part of
the day, but separated about five o'clock, Hill leaving
Brown about the premises of the Swan and Falcon public-
house. About seven o'clock Hill returned and asked
Brown to walk with him towards the Basin in order
that he might receive some money due to him by a ship
captain. On reaching the Basin, Hill all of a sudden
threw off his waistcoat (he wore no coat) and *hat,
and exclaiming, "Good bye, Bill," threw. himself
into the Basin. Brown went to the edge and looked
at the drowning man, then picked up the hat, putting it
under his arm, and sat down quietly on a convenient
resting place, smoking his pipe with as much indifference
as though nothing particular was going on. An. inquest
was held on the body on Wednesday, when, after Brown
and several witnesses had been examined, the Jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had
drowned himself, being at the time in a state of tempo-
rary insanity, with a strong expression of censure as re-
garded the conduct of Brown.—Gloucestershire Chronicle
HINDOO WIT.—A Hindoo woman having
been summoned to give evidence before the Court of
Judicature in Calcutta, deposed that such a circumstance
happened in her presence. The Judge asked where it
happened. She replied, in the verandah of such a house.
" Pray, my good woman," said the Judge, " how many
pillars are there in that verandah ?" The woman, not

perceiving the trap that was laid for her, said, without
much consideration, that the verandah was supported by
four pillars. The counsel for the opposite party imme-
diately offered to prove that the verandah contained five
pillars, and that, consequently, no credit could be given
to her evidence. The woman, perceiving her error, ad-
dressed the Judge, and said, " My Lord, your Lordship
has for many yearspresided in this Court, and every day
that you come here, ascend a flight of stairs : may I beg
to know how many steps these stairs consist of ?'' The
Judge confessed he did not know. " Then," replied
she, " if your Lordship cannot tell the number of steps
you ascend daily to the scat of justice, it cannot be asto-
nishing that I should forget the number of pillars in a
balcony, which I never entered half-a-dozen times in
my life ?" The Judge was much pleased with the wo-
man's wit, and decided in favour of her party.
FIRE WITH Loss OF LIFE.--Tuesday last
between one and two, p.m., a fire broke out in a stable at
the Bell Inn, Horndon-on-the-Hill, which at once threa-
tened destruction, not only to the whole of the premises,
but to several adjoining houses ; but from the very efficient
aid rendered by the whole neighbourhood, whose exer-
tions were indefatigable; the flames were got under before
reaching the house, not however without great destruction
of property, and, we lament to add, loss of life. Mrs
Dixon, the wife of Charles Dixon, whilst busily em-.

toyed in removins_ some of the furniture from t

souse, was knocked-downby the horse of the person who
was despatched for the engine, when she received such
injuries that she expired the same evening. The origin
of the fire is not known. The property belongs to Mr.
Mott, who resides in premises adjoining the Crown, aid
is understood to be covered by insurance.— Essex Herald.
ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT ISLINGTON.
—A preliminary meeting was held on Tuesday at the
Thatched House Tavern, in Islington, for the purpose of
taking the necessary steps for the formation of a branch
Anti-Corn-law Association. A deputation from the
Society attended. Mr. Richmond took the chair, and
shortly stated the object of the meeting, and his hopes
that the great measure they were struggling for would
soon be carried triumphantly. The parent Society at-
tributed some importance to the formation of a branch
society in Islington, as the character of that district
was in general Tory, and they hoped that the formation
of such an association would act as a beginning to a
more liberal state of feeling and opinion. Mr. Wickham,
of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, then
addressed the meeting, and stated the desire of the Asso-
ciationl eal of the Corn-laws. Already which he represented to organize the metropolis
into regularly-constituted associations, having for their
great object a
three-
fourths of the Metropolitan districts were regularly
organized, and the system was being carried out in the
neighbouring counties of Kent and Essex. The ques-
tion that an auxiliary association be formed, was, after
some discussion, triumphantly carried. The necessary
arrangements having been made, the meeting separated.
AN ANECDOTE ABOUT SEA FISHING.-Sir
Hussey Vivian, accompanied by his son, Major Vivian,
were crossing the English Channel in a sailing vessel,
and a
went fish, hook, and amusing themselves at the same time in fishing for
mackerel ; but being unprovided with fish bait, a six-
pence was used instead, which, indeed, is a very common
plan. Major Vivian, as I understood, was the first who
hauling away too
eagerly, succeeded
six-
pence and all ; but, strange to say, having shortly after
baited another hook with a piece of mackerel, he actually
hooked the same fish, which this time he had the fortune
to secure, and thus recovered back his lost hook and six-
pence.—

KING'S COUNTY ASSIZES.—AimusT 2.

- _
DUBLIN, AUGUST 3.—On Saturday Baron Foster en:
tered the Crown Court at about half-past three, and the
Grand Jury having been sworn, his Lordship addressed
them in a few words, and stating that there were thirty-
six prisoners upon the calendar—two for rape, two for
throwing down houses, some for grievous assaults, and
the remainder for larcenies, &c., besides these, there
'were the three persons who were tried at the last
assizes for the shooting at Mr. Bidslulph, J. P., upon
which occasion the Jury disagreed. His Lordship then
adjourned the Court until Monday.
On this day Baron Foster took his seat in the Crown
Court about ten o'clock. The only case tried up to the
hour of post, was one 'for an assault upon a process-
server, who went to serve a writ at the suit of Messrs.
Lewis and Co., for the amount due for their celebrated
"Topographical Dictionary." - The prisoners, after a
lengthened investigation, were found guilty of a riot and
common assault. s
It EC ORCOURT—REGISTRY APPEALS.

Chief Justice Bushe took his seat in the Civil Court
at a few minutes after ten o'clock, and called on the re-
gistry appeals, of which there were fourteen. Two cases
were argued, but the Chief Justice postponed his deci-
sions in both. _ _

The! men for shooting at Mr. Biddulph will be tried
to-morrow morning. The Solicitor-General is expected
down this evening to prosecute.
THE VACANT CHAIRMANSHIP.

Mr. Newel Barron has obtained the chairmanship, ren-
dered vacant by the death of Mr. Fallon, Assistant Bar-
rister of the County of Limerick.
CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY.

The registry for this city recommenced yesterday. The
numbers admitted were—Reformers, 12 ; Tories, 8.

• REPEAL 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. Ido not know that there was
any direct agreement entered into, but, at least, it
was understood that the Repeaters 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 Repeaters 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 not be the case, as the whole thing was
done without my knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) Nothing
could be more delightful to me than to have.snch 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 Whigs free in all its operations.—(Hear, hear.)
lint 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 atsa
state of purity, a mixture alike destructive to life andiffight-
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,
bat 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 he 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 the 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 therefore be 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 repro.
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.) Ido not want to bind a Minis-
ter down to my particular definition of the extent of the
franchise. lam for every mini 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
a vote. Ido 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 he 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 some, 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 for 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 us. 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 Morpeth.—(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 for ages has debased and
dishonoured her national character.—(Hear.) In all ages
England has been degraded and disgraced by her bigotry.
—(Hear.) They have got a great doctor among them,
to ha sure—Doctor Peel.—(Laughter.) I fear the Irish
children, when they see 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 lie didn't intend speaking a word.—(Hear, hear.)
The fellow spent half an hour actually in telling these he
wouldn't say anything.- —(hear, hear, and loud roars of
laughter.) "Ah, cunning little Isaac"—but he managed
for all that to slide in something by way of parenthesis ;
"change the physician," says he, "for he has not the
confidence of the patient. They found England
in health, bat they left her in sickness." Why, the
man's demented.—(A laugh.) What was the condition
in which the Reform Ministry found England ? ...In the
towns there .:was disaffection—(Hear, licer)—in the
agrarian portion of the kingdom neither life nor pro-
perty was worth a day's purchase, 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
into the city of London. In the thowns there was, as I
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 I Such a state of
health as Tory misrule will again bring upon the country.
He talks of the corruption of the Whigs, forsooth 1 Did
he ever hear that at the late election the Tories gave two
thousand five hundred pounds for ten votes ? It is well
known besides that three other Tory voters were pro-
vided for by the conscientious ?.'orymen.—(Laughter.)
Peel says the Whigs found England in health I Can he
forget that Chartism convulsed the land at the time ?
(Hear, hear.) Does Peel fancy he can make the patient
well ? Can he give food to the starving operative, or
work to the unemployed artizan ? Is he aware that in
Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport, Leeds, and all the
great towns of England, , 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 sy
after. day the manufactories are closing. Neer was
there a time so fraught with distress and poverty, and yet
this is the express moment when the intellectual and dis-
cerning 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.—(Hear, hear.) At present there is no symp-
tom of a reformed society in England ; but when I- gO
there"l shall again blow the trumpet of Reform.
(Cheers.) From their present acts they must be labour-
ing under the greatest insanity ; for I ask, was there
ever greater insanity exhibited 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, btit it is a
quack medicine you oiler 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
them 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-
, minatroli), to die, but not to yield. Their most glorious
victories, Creasy; 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 principle, Ire-
land on a more recent day helped them to gain 'Waterloo.
No, my friends, the time is oome 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.—(Hear.) Le jeu n'en
vaut pas la chandelle. The game isnot 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 ours was as-
saulted in the slightest manner—l did not hear of a
single case havinc, 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.) Thu 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 oily shot a woman.—(Hear.) Another mis-
creant wounded eleven children at Waterford, and yet we
bear it while the rascally Times calls us turbulent. In
the 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 might
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, with 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 a Catholic, of course, and was killed
under the circumstances which I have related ; and al.
tlicaigh I do not say that gentleman intended that any
thing of the kind should occur, yet I cannot help saying
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 goinc, the direct road
which would carry his voters to Tralee, he 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
knew 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 se 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 indulging in the aspira-
tion that it might be so, and if it were, he mocks me
much who talks of my advancing 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 op to-morrow (this
day), at three o'clock, he would be ingttttendance at the
Corn Exchange to meet the delegates from the various
parish clubs on business of importance, The meetine,
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 2761. 16s. Bd.
The meeting then separated.
