well adapted to make a sensation. Yes; he stated in a public

meeting in London that 300 ladies had been slaughtered at the
foot of the cross in the Bull-ring, at Wexford, whither they had
fled for protection from the brutal soldiery of the English cow.
wander.—(Sensation.) The Standard newspaper charged him
with telling a lie on this subject ; he admitted there was lying,
but the lie was with the scoundrel himself. He (Mr. O'Connell)
had brought them the History of England, by Dr. Lingard, the
only just and impartial historian of England. He read the
extract and continued. Now, the army of Cromwell, which corn.
mitted the slaughter in Wexford, were formed of English of tie
first water, and they would do it again if they dated.—( Hear,
hear.) Let the meeting look at the gallery, and ask would such
a slaughter be again perpetrated P--(No, no.) No ; he was sure
there was not a man there that would be the survivor of such
another act. They, however, dared not—would not attempt it,
for it was no longer safe.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing
" The Health of the Chairman," who was fermerly one of the
representatives of Wexford county.

Mr. MAHER returned thanks.
The healths of Mr. Steele, Dr. Gray, and the other repeal mar-
t} re, was drunk.
Mr. STEELE, in returning thanks, adverted to his labours as
Head Pacificator, which he conceived had been very successful,
Dr. GRAY next addressed the meeting.
The Rev,. Father SvatNow spoke to the toast of repeal. He gave
a gloomy picture of the state of Ireland, which lie charged upon
Great Britain, and he said that it was only a pauper Sovereign who
should reign over a pauper people. He would forget much of the
misdeeds of England, but one crime she had committed that would
never be forgiven in Ireland—never be forgotten—the incarceration
of the Liberator.—(Cries of " Never.") Let history tell its story—
let tradition hand down the fact, that the greatest man living was
persecuted, as they hoped to the death ; but they were disappointed.
His reverence concluded by callmg on the men of Wexford to
exert themselves at the registry for the enrolment of repeaters.
The next toast was, " The County and Borough Members.—
(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.")
The CHAIRMAN said those gentlemen had fully discharged their
trust up to the present. In a day or two they would be made ac-
quainted with the resolution that day passed, and the people of
Wexford should give a fair time to ascertain the course they would
pursue hereafter.
Mr. JAMES POWER, M.P., returned thanks. He declared him-
self favourable to the question of repeal, and sat down amidst cheers
and disapprobation.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the three great
men whose names were before him, " Lords Denman, Cottenham,
and Campbell," by whose decision respect for the law was pro-
cured.

Atter some other toasts, the party separated at eleven o'clock

CLosistEL.— (FROM A CORRESPONDENT )—The assizes for the
South Riding of Tipperary closed yesterday. There were only
25 prisoners ; all the cases, with the exception of a ♦ery bad one,
were of a trivial nature—in fact, Tipperary is at this moment in a
quieter state than any county in England. The bad case is one of
murder ; the murdered man was a dealer in sheep from the county
Kerry, and he hired the murderer, also a Kerry man, to assist in
driving his sheep from market to market, and after disposing of
the better part of a large stock, they were driving the remnant to
Carrick.ou-Suir, when the servant, near to Killenarch, murdered
his master and robbed him. The evidence was all circumstantial ;
he was found guilty, and is left for execution. Everything in tttis
country is improvieg, though some casual outbreaks take place.
We never had such a prospect of a fine harvest.
