The next toast proposed was the " Health or the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland."

The Earl of LiNtAiLN returned thanks, and on rit,ing was
received with considerable appLuise. He said that it was
his duty, in consideration of the office which he had the
honour to hold, to -rise, in the absence of the Lord-Lieu-

had paid him. lie hoped that he • might be• allowed to

knowledgment, with resinct to the Lord-Lieutenant. of his
de3ire to co-operate in any measures which might promote
the good cf the country over which the Sovereign had
placed him as viceroy. In improving the condition of
Ireland, he was sure they would all agree with their
Noble President that education stoed pre-eminent. He be-

do. much separately for the amelioration of that unhappy
country, but the greatest, good for Ireland would be effected
by the co operation of ad. Tire moment had arriN ed when
the Government was called on to make great exertions on

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DrELIN. 3.IARCH IG= t he weekly meeting of the Associa-
tion was held this day; Mr. ‘litchell in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly addres.4l the meeting, the
Secretary read the following letter from Mr. O'Connell
" London, March 14, 1846.

"fly dear Ray,--I have been so hurried to-day, that I bad
not time to send a cminitentary upon the rtraaining clauses
of the coercion ukase. I regret it the more as there mixes
with the horrors of some (3,' its enactments something exceed-
ingly ludicrous and provokingly absurd. There is one thing
very- peculiar; namely, that it is the first enactment against
tee-tutallers, and places on the same footing the- beastly
drinkers of whisky with the virtuous and abstetnious lent's
of teetotalism. In fact, under this Act, a man may be
transported sewn :veal.. fur presuming to drink a :cup of
coffee in any house but his own. But I shall reserve for the
next ,'ay of meeting further commentary.
" My great object in writing this hurried line is to conjure
the independent Members of Parliament to come to London
as speedily as possible. The presence of every Irish Member
friendly to constitutional liberty is essentially required by
the exigence of the times.
"There is one c(wkolation—that the atrocious and ludicrous
Coercion Bill carries with it a most unanswerable argument
in favour of the protection of a domestic Parliament.

Believe tw to be faithfully yours,

"T. M. Ray, Esq.",
" DANfEL O'CONNELL.
Mr. GRArrA )1,. M.P., having moved the insertion of the
letter in the minutes, expressed his determination of pro-
ceeding immediately to London for the purpose of opposing
the Coercion Bill. It had been his determinatioit
,not to
enter the House of Commons so long as the Irish Arms Act
remained on the.statute-book, hut the urgent necessity ot re-
sisting the proposed despotic enactment obliged him to alter
his resolution. In conclusion, the Hon. Gentleman handed

COUNTY OF KILDARE.—SATURDAY.
TRIAL Hitt THE MURDER OF DONNELLY, TIIE CRIPPLE,.
—This case, which excited so much attention throughout this
county, was called on at the sitting of the Court.
The prisoner, Janes Quigley, a low, smooth-faced, rather
ill-looking young man, was put to the bar, and indicted in
the usual form for the wilful murder of Patrick Donnelly, at
Caragh, on the 24th of September last.
The principal evidence for the Crown was that of an ap-
prover, named Francis Reilly, who deposed that on the night
of the murder, he and the prisoner were going to rob a
Scotchman, who was travelling in a gig, when the cripple%
and two women came up to where they were standing, near
a gravel pit ; a scuttle ensued, when the prisoner drew a
pistol and shot the et:ippl, dead.

- On cross-examination this witness stated that he could not
form the remotest idea of the number of outrages, robberies,
and crimes be had been engaged iu. Could not go within
twenty of the number.
Mr. GORMAN—TeII me within five times of how often you
were tried.—Oh, I was seldom caught, you know ; I generally
put in another in my place, and that was my business to the
castle; r, y conscience smote me when the man waA mur-
dered, and I went out and committed a highway robbery
next night. I was afraid I" would be hanged, and then in
conscience smote me, 6o I said I would save it and my nec
together. I thought as much of my neck, if not more, tha
I did of my conscience.
Mr. GORMAN—On your oath, do you think there is as
great a villian as yourself breathing the breath of life at this
moment ? Witness—l don't think there is.

After the examination of other witnesses, the jury re,
turned a verdict of n*lt
" CHIEF JUSTICE-13 there any other charge against this
man ?

Gaoler—Yes, my Lord, he is under seotenee of fifteen
years' transportation for the robbery at Manchardstos‘n.
CHIEF JUSTICE—I am very much delighted to hear it,
as it will prevent him fror.., tloubliug this country for that
time.

The specimen of clerical intolerance, rub-
hsh below from our correspondent, is one of th7oencatshees
which bring disgrace, instead of credit,
" Church by law established"—the Church, which is so
fond of calling itself the Church of ell the people, when
all the people are called upon to contribute to its
luxuries; but which invariably proves itself to be only a
sect, when sectarian purposes are 'ro be served. The
pre,. nt case is one, too, in witich all the natural, as well
as 8, ciai, feelings are outraged. Such exhibitions are
as unwise as they are intolerant and unjust, and are only
calculated to cover with contempt and obloquy a system
which would vainly call itself national, whilst it is, in
fact, the reflection of every petty obloquy and every local
abuse. The Church ought to be relieved by its rulers
and superiors from such suicidal wrong.
REFUSAL OF A CLERGYMAN TO INTER THE BODY
OF A DISSENTING MINISTER.—The following particu-
lars of one of the most atrocious specimens of clerical,
intolerance that have, recently occurred, are supplied by
a correspondent, of whose entire accuracy we are assured:
—The late Rev. T. S. Guyer, as a minister of the
Gospel, laboured faithfully in this town for znore than
28 years. About twelve years since the late Mr. Guyer
chose Binsteed as' the place of interment for an infant
daughter that died, and she was buried there. About
four years since another daughter died; she was twelve
years old. She was buried by the present Minister at
Birsfeed without objection. Accordingly Mr. Guyer long
since fixed on Binstead as the piece where he and his
family should be buried. Those who attended his
ministry know that he has often spoken meat touchingly
of the spot where the babe and the daugne r rest, expect-
lag his dust would mingle with theirs. -A
few days before
he died he gave commaedment concerning hie bones,"
and requested to be buried at Binsteed. Arrangements
were made accordingly, and notice was given to that
effi,ct on Sabbath evening last. On Monday, the un-
dertaker, who is a deacon of the Independent Church at
Ryde, applied to Mr. Hewett in the usual way for leave
of interment, but aas refused, he assigning as the reason
that the late Mr. Guyer was a Dissenting Minister, and
that he had preached against the Church of England ;
assuring the applicant that no consideration (tor many
were urged) would induce him to alter his decieion.
That if the family wished, he would raise no obstacle to
their moving the ashes of the children, to facilitare
which the Reverend Gentleman offered to forego his
his fees. At the request of the widow and family it
was thee arranged that the remains of Gee beloved
Minister should be interred in a vault to be prepared in
the chapel where he had so long laboured. These are
the facts and circumstances. I leave the Successor of
the Apostles in the hands of the friends of the Church
as by Law Established.
FUNERAL OF THE REV. T. S. GUTER.—On Friday
(yesterday) the remains of the Rev. gentleman, amid a
vast concourse of' spectators, were borne to their rest-
ing place, and deposited in a vault prepared for them
hatbands,bera

been the ornament. The mourners, in great n

preached the funeral ser-
mon in the eve Ling. The shops were generally closed,
and every demonstration of love and respect far the
memory of the departed was evinced by every class
and denomination. It had been the dying request
of the reverend gentleman that he should be buried
alongside his children in the ground at Binsteed ;
but the rector, the Rev. Philip Hewett, on the
ground that Mr. Guyer was a rninisteWsJud teacher
of dissent, peremptorily refused his permileklan for the
interment there, but would offer no impediment nor
claim his fees for the removal in due form of the re-
mains of the children, should it be desired by the fa-
mily. A deep feeling of regret pervades the whole
town (and more especially among the members of the
Established Church), that such an uncalledefor attempt
w taint the memory of such a man 4:4 the deceased,
should emanate from a minister of t)'..e Church of Eng-
land. It bas created a generous expression of sympathy
for the widow and family, whose feelings have been so
nenecessarily outraged. The following letter of condo-
lence has beau autac-rously signed by members of the
Established Church :
" The undersigned members of the Protestant Church
of England, having long known the exemplary deport-
ment of the late Rev. Thomas S. Guyer, as a minister of
the gospel, feel ourselves more especially called upon,
under present circumstances, to unite in testifying our
deep respect for his memory, and our sincere sympathy
with his bereaved family.
