p. cent. On taking the Chair, his LORDSHIP said, tha,
notwithstanding that the Catholics had recently and
gfrequently met, there was a necessity fora meeting,
1 to be adjourned from day to day, for fourteen days,
• t in order to prepare petitions to Parliament for
redress of the grievances by which the Irish Catho-
lics were affected, and on other subjects. He, in
conclusion, recommended moderation and firmness,
Mr. O'CONNELL then addressed the chair, and in
a speech of considerable length, entered very
full into a review of the state of the country,
expressing his apprehensions of the frightful
consequence which he contemplated as likely
to result from a cabinet purely Tory. He, in
conclusion, observed, that they should have a peti-
tiortior general and unqualified emancipation—a pe-
tition against the sub-letting act-,-againSt the vestry
bill—one for a grant of money from the legislature
for purposes of liberal education, and they Would

p ceont. the treaty of Limerick, and also for a bill to secure
.

4dlti against corporation abuses in borough and corporate

FRENCH PLAYS.

The first piece performed last night at the English
House, was a comedy in one act, entitled " L' Hotel
Garni," which seems to be either an adaptation, or transla-
tion of " Quite Correct," a flimsy farce, manufactured
from one of Mr. Thedore Hook's popular " Sayings and
Doings." Monsieur Gamard, was the publican (Grojan)
of the evening, and went through his part with all the
coarseness, and much of the rich humour of Liston. The
next piece was " Une Visite a Bedlam," founded upon
Morton's elegant little trifle, a " Roland for an Oliver,"
but remarkable in its French garb (to which we believe
it originally belonged) for nothing but the opening
it affords for the mercurial acting of Perlet. He is
indeed the life of the piece, and still more acceptable
from the direct contrast he presents to his coadjutor Mon-
sieur Frederic, a performer, to whom we do but bare
justice when we designate him—as the very paragon of in-
sipidity. AM. Pelissie (the Alfred Ilighflyer of the Eng-
lish Farce) was very judicious—perhaps too much so—as
a madman. His retaliation scene, however, was excellent.
The evening's entertainments were wound up with " La
Duel," a pleammt—but somewhat stale—vaudeville,
which Madlle. Sidalie kept alive by her spirited person
ation of a chambermaid. The House was well attended.
