IRELAND.

Dt*LIN„JULY 29.—The Irish assizes have nearly termi-
nated, and the result goes to show that Ireland never was so
free from crime, and criminals, as at the presentmoment. In
everyrinstance the judges have testified to the peaceable state
of the country, and in very many of the most populous coun-
ties their Lordsbips:had literally nothing to do. Even Tip-
perary—puce sojiprribly.pre-etninent in crime—is free from
criminals; and Clare, once the head-quarters of the Terry
-Alts,has--cmly eae sasof -manslaughter on the calendar. In
the \Vest, 'the:" Coiag JndgeS" have gone "a pleasuring" on
Circtrif.' The. •askies—.or Moro have -terminated three full

• -• REPEAL ASSOCIATION:-
Thettsual weekly- meeting of the Repeal Association was
heldthis day at the Conciliation-hall. • " • •
The Rev. J. Tierney, P.P. of Clontibret, „late traverser, in
the chair.
The, CHAIRMAN, on . taking the chair, said he believed
there was no necessity. for him to make a profession of politi-
cal•faith: was one of those who had the honour of being
found guilty on the 12th of Febritary of keeping the peaCe,
and it was for the' Government to say 'why he had not the
honotte-otheing a' martyr alSo:--(Cheers.) • •
Mr.J; KELEY;'-lbe new Member fbr the city of Limerick,
-handed in ~a..sum of-money from that locality, and in doing
•so, said he would not have the honour of being among them
that dav, but •for the fact of his having understood that
Lord Ifeytesbury intended to put down the Association.—
(Hear, hear.) When that report reached him, he considered
it to be his duty to attend iu that room, and share any re-
sponsibility that might attach to -the proceedings of the As-
sociation(flear, hear.) V -
• Mr. SMITH O'BmEN then.referred to Lord Wicklow's letter
to the Association; and, after a rapid review Of the:Ministe—
rial policy, read'the reply of the Committee of the Association
to the Noble Lord.
Mr. GORDON then rose to bring forward his motion relative
to the agitation of the repeal question in Parliament, when he
was interrupted by
Dr. NAGLE, who said Mr. Cordon had given no notice of
his motion.
Mr. GonnoN said he had. •
Dr. NAGLE—Your notice was forfeited, as you did not
bring forward the motion on the day fixed. -
Mr. Gonn9N said he had saved his notice • by writing to
Mr. S. O'Brien. •
Mr. D. O'CoNNEEE, jun.—ln that letter you did not require
your notice.to be saved.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN believed Mr. Gordon had saved his notice,
and that he had a right to be heard ; but he would put it to
Mr. Gordon whether he would not abandon his motion, when
he knew it was wholly against the wishes of the Committee.
Mr. Gordon could promulgate his opinion through some other
channel.

Mr. GORDON would be happy to adopt that course, espe-
cially as it was recommended by Mr. O'Brien. lie then
went on to observe- on the necessity of adopting a line of
conduct similar to that recommended in his notice of motion,
for it was idle to think. they could bully or cajole the people
of England. (Tremendous confusion ensued, in the midst of
which one of Mr. Gordon's, neighbours offered him Os. to sit
down ; the money was immediately handed in to the Secre-
tary, and Mr. Gordon having found it somewhat difficult to
obtain a hearing, resumed his seat.)
- Several large sums of money were handed in, and after the
transaction of some other routine business,
Mr. S. 013ntEN. moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Wyse for
the manner in which he brought forward their petition in re-
ference to the State prosecutions.
The rent amounted to 1,0001. -
. SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLEN.
The following favourable report appears in the Clare
Journal of yesterday :—" It will be gratifying to the friends
and admirers of. Sir Colman O'Loghlen, hart., to learn that
he is now fast recovering to convalescence. lie laboured
under a severe attack of bilious feVer, brought en by his
assiduous attention to the case of Mr. O'Connell ana the
other traversers, during its progress in the house of Lords."

MURDER. IN ROACOMMON—It ESPI TE.
Yesterday, Mr. Malone, the under-sheriff. of Roscommon,
received a respite for Catherine Bryan and Bridget Langan,
who were to be executed to-morrow, in pursuance of sentence
passed upon them at the late assizes, by Baron Lefroy, for
murder. The respite, extends only to the • 7th of August,
on which day the sentence must be carried into execution,
should no further .respite be granted. It may be well to
remind our readers that the charge against these wretched
women was, that Brven poisoned her husband, and when he
was dead, procured the aid of her sister (Langan) to bring the
body outside the house, where they cut the throat with a
razor, whiCh they placed in the hand of the dead man, to lead
to the inference which was drawn by the coroner's jury, that
he-committed suicide. However, in nearly a year atter, a
party implicated mentioned the facts, and the body having
been disinterred, some portion of the poison was found in it.
The jury who tried the case recommended the prisoners to
mercy, but Baron Lefroy refused to transmit the recommenda-
tion to the Irish Executive.
ShOCKING CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains the following :
" Painful indeed is, our duty to announce the • death of Mrs.
Delacour, the second victim to this . fearful _ malady in one
family, within the short space of five months. The sad death
of the young and 'graceful girl, the- first victim, excited ge-
neral horror and consternation ; but who can describe the
feeling with which the announcement of the second death
will be received by the public I For more than five months
the terrible poison lurked in the veins of this amiable lady,
until it at last manifested its presence in that horrible agony
which heralds the dissolution of the sufferer."
A cosrespondent of the same journal, writing from Mallow
on Sunday, says:—" An account of Mrs. Delacour's death
has reached town. She fell a victim to that dreadful malady
against whose ravages science has, as yet, discovered no
antidote—hydrophobia. It appears that the little dog which
caused Miss Delacour's death, about five months since, licked •
Mrs. Delacour's face at that time ; and she since had a horror
of the fatal disease."

Mr. Edmond Murphy, of Mount, in the parish of Clon-
digad, has been fully committed to the county gaol, charged
with conspiring to attack the habitations of Major Ball and
F. B. Rosslewin, Esq. The alleged offence occurred some
months ago. This committal has occasioned much surprise
in the country.—Clare Journal.

ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.-
Last night, a little before nine o'clock, a collision took
place off Woolwich, between the City of Canterbury steamer,
on her passage to London, and the Railway steamer, from
Blackwell,'• on her way to Gravesend. Neither vessel being
provided with lights, they came, into direct contact, which
caused a severe: crash„ producing a perfect consternation
atnong.the passengers Of both boats. Owing to this untoward
event, the engineer of-the Gravesend vessel was compelled to
let off his steam ; but finding that no material damage had
ensued, after a considerable delay the steamer recommenced
her journey. Both the figure-heads were broken off.
The Leith steamer left her moorings at London-bridge
yesterday afternoon for Scotland, but had only proceeded as
far as Woolwich when she ran aground; every endeavour
was made to get her afloat again, but without success. In
this dilemma the passengers determined to make themselves
as comfortable as under the circumstances could be expected,
but they could not leave until one o'clock this morning, is
consequence of want of water.

The steward of the Vesper, Gravesend steam-boat, yester-
day afterifoon, lying off the Town-pier, while in a state of
maddened intoxication, jumped from the vessel into the river,
immediately sunk, and was drowned.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
The market was in a healthy state yesterday; with a good
business doing. - There was a fair demand both for yarns and
goods, which the spinners and manufacturers are at present
scarcely able to supply. Yarns commanded prices a shade
higher than last week, and goods are also scarce and in fair
demand, with prices gradually hardening. 7-Bths printing
cloth has, in some instances, obtained a slight advance on
last week's prices.
llorn LR FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Jut.). 29.
There haS been
.an excellent demand for flannels to-day, es-
pecially for the coarser qualities, which have been rather
difficult td meet with. Ihe manufacturer is getting some
small advance in price, but not equal to the advance In the
raw material. Wool continues in good demand, at firm prices.

The harvest has 'commenced very generally in the
south of England, and even the spring crops, such as oats
and barley, have turned out better than was expected. Seine
winter-sown oats have proved very productive, and the crop
has been already housed in some places in excellent condi-
tion. Where the harvest is not yet commenced, the late
splendid weather has advanced the crops so rapidly, that the
utmost exertions of the husbandman and the employment of
all the hands he. can command, will be required to gather it
speedily hi."'

dreadful circumstances:—Mary Cooke, of No. 20, Charlotte-
