ANTI-TORY ASSOCIATION.

Mr. EVANS, M. P., was then called to the chair, and the
meeting changed per saltum into the Anti-Tory Association.
.
In consequence of the absence and of Mr. Edward
Dwyer ( Secretary), his son, Mr. Francis Dwyer, was em-
ployedto act in his place.
The CHAIRMAN proposed that Henry Arabin, Esq., and
Sir Charles Morgan, M. D., be admitted members.
Mr. O'CONNELL proposed T. O'Meara, Esq.; P. power,
of Belview, county of Waterford, a new candidate for the re-
presentation of that county; Nicholas Joseph French, of the
county of Roscommon ; Macauley, barrister ; Hewitt Bridge-
man, county of Clare ; two tithe-sufferers, as honorary mem-
bers—viz., Dominick P. Ronayne, of Youghal, popularly
known in former years as " The Tollman's Terror," in Cork,
Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford, and Kilkenny; also Jeremiah
O'Romazny, both of whom were imprisoned on account of
tithe resistance ; Sir R. Keane, M. P. for the county of Water-
ford, and James Talbot, M. P. for Athlone, whose signature to
his letter was not sufficiently recognized on the last day.
Mr. DOMINICK RONAYNE proposed Nicholas Mayer, of Tip-
perary.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, editor of the Freeman's Journal, pro-
posed Ebenezer Shackleton, of Moone (a Quaker).
All admitted of course.

EENRY GRATTAN, M. P., contradicted the report that he
was about to decline a contest for Meath, and stand for
Longford.
Mr. O'CoNNELL declared his belief that two-thirds of the
Constituency of the county of Meath were embedied in the
liberal club of that county, and that the British Treasury could
not purchase their votes.

Mr. D. RONAYNE, M.P., stated that no Candidate had yet
appeared in Youghal against Mr. John O'Connell, though
several were solicited.
Mr. O'CONNELL could announce, that in Kerry the Liberal
interest was combined for the support of Mr. Mullins and Mr.
Morgan O'Connell. In Clare he heard threats of opposition
to the present Members, but he was convinced that nothing
would be attempted.
FRANCIS MACNAMARA, M. P., retires from the borough of
Ennis, and Mr. Hewitt Bridgeman will stand for it. There
could be no doubt of his success if the Liberal constituency
would vote honestly. He was grieved to say, that notwith-
standing the splendid and magnanimous example set by the
Clare men in 1829, the venality in Ennis was frightful. In
the county of Roscommon a contest was likely to arise. A
Mr. Barton, (of the house of Sneyd, French, and Barton), had
gone thither to organize an opposition to the sitting Members,
O'Connor Don and Fitzstephcn French, whose anti-Tory prin-
ciples were :well known, and entitled them to the sympathy
and support of this Association.
The Liberal constituency had a decided majority in the
county of Mayo, and he looked on the return► of Sir William
Brabazon as certain. If Mr. Blake, of Ballinafad, would offer
himself he was sure of being returned also; but Mr. Blake was
a timid politician, and therefore the chalice of a second Anti-
Tory being returned for this county was rather doubtful.
Mr. CASSERLEY'S motion for the recall of Tom Steele to
political life and agitation was referred to the standing Com-
mittee.

Mr. O'CoNNELL spoke at length on the necessity of esta-
blishing the Anti-Tory rent, but forbore to explain the details,
which were referred to the Committee. Colonel Hodges was
then called to the chair, and the association adjourned to
Saturday ; its next day of meeting being forestalled by the
aggregate meeting, to take place in the Royal Exchange on
Thursday.

The following characteristic correspondence has lately
taken place between M. Jules Janin, the well-known Paris
theatrical writer, and M. de Chateaubriand. The former
literateur was collecting charity for some most deserving ob-
jects, and amongst others to whom he applied in further-
ance of his purpose, was Chateaubriand, which be did as
follows Have you got five francs remaining for a charitable
object ?---Jules Janin." The reply was, " I have not more
than five francs, but I have borrowed 15 of my porter, and I
send it all to you, that the unhappy objects of your benevo-
lence may remember me in their prayers, and you in your
pages.—Chateaubriand."
