CLARE ELECTION.

A large and very respectable Meeting took place to-day
at a few minutes before Two o'clock, principally constituted
of Roman Catholics, for the purpose of aiding the measures
adopted in Clare to elect Daniel O'Connell, Esq. to serve
as a Member of Parliament, in the room of the Right I len.
Vesey Fitzgerald. Lord Rossmore -was in the chair, and
along with hi►n on the hustings a great number of influen-
tial persons friendly to Catholic Emancipation. Among them
we observed Sir W. Brabazon, Messrs. French, Grattan,
and Hunt.

Lord Rossmoat: addressed the meeting on the subject
of the Clare Election, and earnestly and at some length re-
commended that the strenuous support of those present,who
he was sure were all favourable to religion and civil liberty
should be given to secure the election of Air. O'Connell.
Throughout the Meeting nothing was objected to ag-aistst
Mr. Fitzgerald, but his system, which was looked on as
inimical to Catholic Emancipation.
Several donations were received and subscriptions entered
into.
