REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, JULY 15.—At the usual weekly meeting, after
the transaction of some unimportant business,
Mr. DANIEL O'CoNNELL rose and said he ked news to com-
municate which he was sure would afilict'them all. It was,
that Lord De Grey purposed leaving their shores to-morrow,
and he trusted for ever,. carrying with him, not the hatred,
but the contempt of the entire Irish people.—(Cheers.) , His
declaration of war against the repeal button was looked upon
more in sorrow than in anger ; but it appeared that his re 7
nunciation had'been acted upon in other places beside the
Castle and the barracks. The Commissioners of education had
determined to exclude from the national schools every
boy that- exhibited a repeal button. He protested
against such partisan. conduct, and would at the same
time deny that the repeal button was a party badge—the Re-
peelers were not a party, they, were the pepple.—(Cheers.)
His father's advice, however, was, that the young blood of
Ireland should not lose the benefits of education for such a
trifling cause. Let them, therefore' not expose the button,
but keep it in their pockets, which would answer the pur-
nose equally well.—(Hear, hear.) He would now proceed to
make his usual weekly report from the prison. The State
prisoners were, he was most happy to say, in the enjoTment
of excellent health and spirits, and his father was delighted
at the perseverance and peaceable conduct of the people. By
perseverance alone could they expect to obtain the object of
their fondest hopes—the repeal of the legislative union.—
(Loud cheers.) On next Monday he would take an opportunity
of expre'ssing the opinion of his father on the passing events.
--(Hear, hear.) It was indeed a subject for gratulation that
every act by which the Government thought to stop the
progress of repeal had recoiled upon themselves, and bad a
ten-fold effect in accelerating the movement. The sentence
bad done them incalculable service, and the writ of error, if
decided against them, would do, them still more, and it was
his father's opinion that it would be decided against them.
It would prove to the- people of Ireland that they shoud de-
pend upon themselves only, and that they could have no
confidence in the English Government.
QUARTER-PAST FIVE O'CLOCK.—The rent for the week is
not yet announced, but it will reach 1,7001. The meeting is
densely crowded. .

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLCM.—Yesterday
and Monday a fancy fair arid a fete champetre took place on
the grounds of the Asylum, Old Kent-road, in aid of the
Asylum; every attraction was broughtinto requisition likely
to please. The fancy fair was elegantly got up, and the pur-
chases made at it were most satisfactory to the fair venders.
A large tent, measuring 250 feet long; was fitted up for danc-
ing, and two military bands stationed under its awning con-
tinued playing the whole evening. A glass blowing exhibi..-
tion, :and a model of the battle of Waterloo, were objects of
great admiration,. but what pleased the eye. most was the
presence of the 'children of the Licensed Victuallers' School,
who, during the day, promenaded the grounds, and whose
healthful and cheerful .appearance indicated, the great care
which is paid to them. The festivities of the day closed with
fire balloons, and'a display of pyrotechnical works. '
NEWSVENDERS' INSTITUTION.—Yestorday the mem-
hers of this institution, which is established for the purpoSe of
granting temporary relief and permanent assistance to mas-
ters and servants •.engaged as venders of newspapers,. and
their widows, who, from age or infirmity may require aid,
adopted, as a favourite means of recruiting their resources, a
trip by steam to the Rose Cottage, Richmond. The Laurel
'steamer, which was engaged by the 'governors of the charity,
was crowded to' excess. The company partook of refresh-
ments, after which quddrilles, waltzes, and country dances,
which had been commenced on board the steamer, were re-
sumed in the ball-roonr and saloon, an efficient band playing
the most favourite airs. This is their fifth annual excursion.

held last night, at the vestry room of the parish of St.
Pancras, for the purpose of -furthering the Duncombe testi-
monial, and of expressing " the high opinion entertained by

general Parlimentitry conduct, .ancl more especially for his
gallant opposition to: the Masters and Servants 8111, and his
exposure of the system.of espionage
.practised by Sir James
Graham at the Post-office." -The hour: appointed for the
meeting was seven o'cloek, but it was half-past eight before
it was constituted, when about a hundred of both sexes were
present, all belongingto the working claSses. Mr. Arnst was
moved into the chair, who opened the, proceedings by. ex-
plaining the 'object of the meeting. A resolution was then
proposed,tuthe effect that Mr. Duncortibe was entitled to the
thanks and gratitude of the working classes of the country,
by Mr. Farrer,.and seconded by- Mr. Skelton ; and on being
put, was spoken to, at some length,-by Mr. Feargus O'Connor,
.after which it was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks •
was then passed to the vestry of the parish for the use of the
room, and another to the chairman, after which the meeting
dispersed. :
