REPEAL ASSOCIATION, THIS DAY.

The adjourned meeting of the Association was held this
day, in the Conciliation Hall. Shortly after two o'clock Mr.
S. O'Brien entered, and was received with loud cheering.
On the motion of Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT, the chair was taken
by Captain Seaver, of Heath Hall, Newry.
BlL•Smurri O'BRIEN rose and said, that in consequence of
the great pressure of business yesterday, he was unable to
hand in several sums of money which had been entrusted to
him for presentation. He would, however, do so now. The
Hon. Gentleman then handed in several sums of money. He
also read a letter from Benjamin Alcock, Esq., enclosing his
subscription, and requesting to be enrolled a member. His
reasons for adopting this course were, the persecution of Mr.
O'Connell, and the unconstitutional manner in which the
Government had acted with regard to the trial. The letter
was received with loud applause.
Mr. D. O'CoNNELt, jun., handed in several sums of money.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT then addressed the meeting. He con-
gratulated his countrymen on the glorious, display which had

place last year. He was happy to tell them that Mr. O'Con-
nell was in the most buoyant spirits at the present position
of affairs. On Saturday he visited him, and what were his
first words to me—" Thank God, Daunt, that I am in gaol
for Ireland," and he then added, " that he believed, in the
bottom of his soul, that if he had the entire management of
the Government prosecution, the game could not be better
played."
Sir VALENTECE BLAKE, M.P., denounced the conduct of
the Government for incarcerating Mr. O'Connell, but yet
believed that the most important results to Ireland would
arise therefrom.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN said it would be in the.recollection of the
meeting that he had stated, when handing in the 1,0001. from
America, that a most valuable communication had accom-
panied that remittance. It would be most satisfactory, he
had no doubt, to their friends in Boston to know, that never
was a contribution received with such manifestations of grati-
tude. The Honourable Gentleman then read the document,
which was very elaborate, and was signed by John W.
James, President of the Boston Association of the Friends of
Ireland. The interest which, not only the people of Ame-
rica, but the inhabitants of the universal world, took in the
affairs of Ireland, ought to be a warning to British Statesmen
how they should act with regard to this country.—(Hear.)
Mr. S. O'BRIEN again rose, and said that it was the inten-
tion of the Association to address the Queen on the imprison-
ment of Mr. O'Connell. He had been entrusted with the
preparation of that address, and he could assure the meeting
that it should not contain the slightest allusion to a mitiga-
tion of punishment.—(Cheers.) They demanded his libera-
tion as a right, and he trusted that from no quarter would
anything in the shape of supplication be addressed to the
Ministry. As a tribute of respect to the Liberator, he would
move that his chair should remain unoccupied during his
absence. _ _ _

Dr. NAGLE seconded the motion in an eloquent address. It
was then put and carried.
After some further business,
Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved the adjournment of the Association
to the second Monday of the second week of the captivity of
Mr. O'Connell.

Notwithstanding the immense amount of money received
yesterday, there was 130/. handed in to-day.

RECAL OF LORD DE GREY.—It is very curious that the
imprisonment of Mr. O'Connell is to be followed by the im-
mediate removal of Lord De Grey. The Evening Mail an-
nounces that his Excellency is to be off within a fortnight,
never to return. The Orange organ laments, but enters into
no explanation. The particulars will ooze out by and by.
