DEATH FROM MEPHITIC VAPOUR.—An inques
was held yesterday, by Mr. Bedford, at the Waterworks
public-house, Victoria-road, Pimlico, on the body of
Caroline Fitzpatrick, aged two years and four months,
an illegitimate child, living at No. 16, Upper Be!grave-
terrace. It appeared from the evidence produced, that
the deceased was a very healthy child up to the evening
of last Friday week, when she was seised with violent
pains in her chest, attended with constant vomiting.
Her mother took deceased to Mr. Ford, surgeon, of
Ebury-street, but the child soon after died. Mr. Ford
suspected from the symptoms that the child had died
from some irritant poison; but on examining the con•
tents of the stomach he could not find any traces of any.
Mr. Ford added, that in the course of his inquiries he
discovered that a cesspool had been emptied immediately
prior to the deceased being attacked, and the contents
were carried through the house where the deceased lived;
and, from all appearances, he was of opinion that the
death was caused by mephitic vapour, as another child
to the same house was la
short onsultation, returnedg under the same sy
amp-
oms. The jury, after c
verdict, " That the deceased died from inflammation of
the stomach, caused by inhaling mephitic vapour."
CHARGV AGAINST THE ST. PANCRAS ROYAL DIS"
PENSARY.—Saturday Mr. Mills held an inquest at the
Lord Nelson, King's-road, St. Pancras, upon the body
of Thomas Cook, aged four months, whose parents re-
side at No. 11, Draper's-place.—Elizabeth Crow stted
that, finding deceased dangerously ill, she went to the
St. Pancras Royal Dispensary, and requested Mr. Dy-
mond, the house surgeon, to visit him, as he was appa-
rently dying. He refused doing so, and desired her to
bring the child to the dispensary. She told him that
she could not do so, as he would die on the way. Mr.
Dymond insisted upon the child being brought, adding
that if deceased was not soon brought he would not see
him. In half an hour after bar return home deceased
died.—Hannah Lunn deposed that deceased's father died
three days after deceased was born, and that his mother,
who was subsequently married again, would flog andlock
up deceased in a room by himself, while she sent her
other two children to pick up in the streets what they
could, although she had ample means to provide for
them.—Mr. Greenhill, a medical gentleman, attended
from the St. Pancras litoyal Dispensary, to explain that
attendance at the dispensary was only at certain hours,
when all who presented themselves were prescribed for.
—The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death," ac-
companied by a censure on the conduct of Mr. Dymoad
. for not having attended deceased when required. The
1. inquiry occupied several tours.

IRELAND. ts
(From the Dublin Evening Mail of March 20.)
The meeting appointed for this day, for the purpose of
fraternizing with the French Republicans, assembled in
front of the North wall. The demonstration was neither
imposing nor alarming to the public peace. The chair
was taken by R. O'Gorman, sen., Esq. Amongst the
conspicuous leaders were W. S. -O'Brien, Esq., M.P.,
Messrs. Meagher, Duffy, Mitchell, and several other
members of the Irish Confederation. Mr. Hodges, the
Government reporter, was present.
The CHAIRMAN aldressed the meeting briefly. observ-
ing that as many eloquent speakers were to follow him,
he did not feel justified in occupying their time.
Mr. BARRY then rose and read the placard by which
the meeting bad been convened.
Mr. MITCHELL rose amidst vehement cheering to
move the congratulatory address to the French. He
said they were met that day as strangers in their
own country under the -guns of a foreign gar-
rison, and by the sufferance of a military Guvern•
ment who held their country for a foreign nation.
After more in the same style, he went on to
say he would call those noble fellows who, in Paris, had
done their work so gloriously, and contended that the
fate of the late tyrannical stock-jobber of France ought
to be regarded as a light for the guidance of oppressed
nations in their onward course.
Mr. O'BRIEN defied any power longer to deprive them
of their rights, if they were but determined to'enforce
them. The only obstacle was disunion amongst them-
selves. Why did they talk of Young and Old Ireland?
When the old faction names of Whig and Tory were
beginning to die away, other faction epitaphs started
up to mar them in their progress. He for one re-
pudiated all factions; and .he did not care who worked,
for repeal, Chartists or Conservatives, Protestants or
Catholics, from Conciliation Hall, or from the Con-
federation. He concluded by observing that " before
the harvest moon grew pale, deliverance might be at
hand."
Mr. APGREE said that no Irish banner should be
raised in defence of British institutions here. No man
should enrol himself to defend any Government in Ire-
land that was not really Irish.
Mr. MEAGHER said that on St. Patrick's Day he was
much better employed than in walking the desolate
streets of Dublin. He was in Manchester, and had
the honour of being present at a meeting of fifteen
thousand persons, and he was proud to stand here
to counteract, as far as lay in his power, what he
considered injustice to that portion of the English
people. They might rest assured that if an arm was
stretched out to strike them in Ireland, another arm
would be stretched out to revenge them in England.
Several resolutions being passed, the meeting sepa-
rated.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of this body was held to-day,
and, notwithstanding the attraction on the opposite side
of the river, was numerously attended. The Earl of
Miltown, the Messrs. O'Connell, and other prominent
leaders of the movement were present.
The chair was taken by Mr. J. H. DUNNE, who con-
gratulated his fellow-citizens that the revolution was
over.—(Laughter.)
Lord MILTOWN wished, before the immediate business
of the day was proceeded with, to give notice of a motion
for the next meeting. He did not intend (continued his
Lordship) to become a mere holiday member of the
association.—(Cheers.) It was not for the purpose of
making an empty demonstration that he entered Con-
ciliation Hall, but to forward by every means in his
power the wishes of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Never
was there a moment in his mind when the people of this
country merited his beat exertions more than the pre-
sent, for their conduct during the recent period of ex-
citement was eminently praiseworthy. (Hear, hear,
and cheers.) Having adverted to some strictures
on his speech on the last day of meeting, the
Noble Lord gave notice that he intended to bring the
following resolution under the consideration of the Asso-
ciation on Monday next:—" That the Repeal Association
should recommend to every constituency that has chosen
repeal Members, to insist that such representatives should
attend in their places in the House of Commons, and
offer a decided negative to every measure, good, bad, or
indifferent, brought forward by any Government that
refuses to give justice to Ireland." When he (Lord
Miltown) spoke of justice, he wished it to be understood
that he adopted the declaration of Sir Robert Peel when
resigning the reins of power ;; and it would be well
(said his Lordship in conclusion) if Lord John Russell
would stand up in the House of Commons and declare
that he accepted the declaration of Sir Robert Peel—
(Loud cheers)-2-iind in case he did so, the embargo
might be ;moved.— (Laughter.)
Mr. JonN O'CoNNELL, in reference to Lord Miltown's
definition of justice to Ireland, wished it to be understood
that no system of justice which did not include the repeal
of the union would be acceptable or accepted by the Irish
people. As the proposition of his Lordship would necessa-
rily be submitted to the consideration of the committee of
the association, he would not then advert to it. He
trusted when the matter was under discussion the Noble
Lord would be present, and to enable him to do so, he
would move that the Earl of Miltown be admitted a
member of all the committees of the association. In con-
clusion, Mr. O'Connell handed in a large number of re-
mittances, and read a mass of correspondence from vari-
ous parts of the country describing the proceedings
which took place on the 17th instant.
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M.P., congratulated the
association upon the result of the simultaneous meetings
of Friday last, which, he remarked, afforded the most
perfect, the most entire, and the most conclusive answer
to the calumniators of Ireland. At those meetings the
utmost harmony was manifest, good order and unani-
mity prevailed, there had rot been a single revolu-
tionary or rash expression indulged in, and, therefore,
he would ask why it was that such great prepara-
tions had been made? Those preparations remindeo
him of a celebrated saying of the Chancellor Oxen-
stiern, of Sweden, to his son, when instructing him
in the history of his country, and letting him into
the secrets of government; it was for the purpose,
said the Chancellor, of showing you with what little
wisdom the world is governed that I have let you into
these secrets. The Honourable Gentleman then pro
ceeded at considerable length to comment on a document
which is now circulating through the country expressive
of the attachment of its subscribers to the Lord-Lieute-
nant and the institutions of the country, and contended
that it was a libel on the loyalty of the people.
Lord Ilturovue stated that he had refused to sign the
declaration.
Mr. NUUENT, of Kingstown, announced that he had
signed a petition in favour of repeal on Patrick's day,
but that was the last petition he would ever sign for pre-
sentation to the Imperial Parliament.
Mr. J. O'CoNNELL subsequently addressed the meet-
ing at some length, and, in the course of his speech, read
to the meeting several extracts from a pamphlet of
Father Ventura's, of Rome, on the affairs of Sicily, and
argued that the English Government ought to carry out
the same policy towards Ireland as they were pursuing
towards the former country.
The rent for the week was announced to be 911. 2s.
9d., and the meeting then adjourned.
SERIOUS RIOTING IN DOWNPATRICK.
In Downpatrick, and one or two other places in the
northern provinces, there has been serious rioting,
arising, as it would appear, more from sectarian than
political causes. The Downpatrick Recorder, a moderate
Conservative paper, gives the following account of a
dreadful conflict in that town, and of disturbances in
some adjoining villages:—
" DOWNPATRICX, Mancm 17.—As is usual on this
day the Roman Catholic party, called by some 'Thrashers,'
by others ' Repealers,' had their procession with music
and banners. The place of rendezvous on this occasion I
was the race-course, which is about a mile and a quarter
from town. Here the several lodges for a circuit
of several miles, met, amounting in all, as we are
informed, to sixty-two, and numbering from 2,000
to 3,000 persons. Although they arrived at the
race-course by different routes, they had arranged
to return in a body through this town, for the
purpose of walking round the cathedral, the burying-
ground attached to which is said to contain the ashes
of the patron saint. The several lodges who entered
town in the morning on their way to the course were a
sober, orderly, well-dressed people, many of them wear-
ing
sashes and other insignia of their order. All was
quiet, and no disturbance whatever apprehended until
about two o'clock, when on their return from the course,
we grieve to say, these men, who were proceeding in an
orderly:and peaceable manner, were attacked:at the.corner
of the shambles by a mob of ruffians, chiefly butchers'
boys, who with astonishing violence threw stones and
other missiles at those in the procession, breaking two
drums. This of course produced reaction, and serious
rioting ensued, amounting to a regular onslaught on
both sides, during which a number of police, under
the command of that excellent officer, Captain Dick-
son, received several blows in their endeavours to
arrest the ringleaders of the aggressive party. They
succeeded, however, in apprehending five of them, who
were immediately placed in confinement. From this
time until half-past three o'clock, a period of one hour
and a half, the town was kept in a state of the utmost
excitement. Fire-arms were discharged in the open
streets in quick succession, and stones were flying in
all directions; so great was the alarm, that at half-past
two every shop in the town was closed; many of them
had their very doors shut. About three o'clock another
sanguinary conflict took place in Scotch street, the
lodges from the parish of Saul having been attacked on
their way home; and not until the military appeared,
with fixed bayonets, was order restored. So fierce was
the attack against the processsonists, that it was deemed
necessary, on the part of the authorities, to allow the
military to escort these lodges out of town. The mili-
tary and police were patrolling the streets, and it is
hoped that all will pass over without loss of life. As
yet we have only heard of some severe wounds, which
both parties have received from the effects of sticks and
stones. Several houses have suffered considerably; in
some not a whole pane of glass has been left. We
cannot close this painful narrative without con-
demning, in the strongest manner, the conduct of
the attacking party. Those in procession were march-
ing in an orderly and quiet manner, and if they had been
allowed to proceed, there would not have been a loud:
word; in proof of this, when a disposition to riot mani-1
fested itself, the majority of the lodges, in place OCI
marching nand the Cathedral, as they had at first in-
.,
