Mr. D. O'Coserree again rose to bring forward ibis
e eekly bulletin from the Richmond Bridewell. He first
nnounced that the traversers were in excellent health
:.rid spirits. He then proceeded to read as follows
" The decision of the judges to be waited for with the
utmost indifference, the eleven questions referred to
the English judges being so framed as to 'exclude she
consideration of the great merits of the case of the
traversers. In particular, no question ariseg upon the
charge of the Chief Justice, a charge that nobody has
been found, either in or out of the Houses o 1 Par'lae
ment, to defend ; yet the traversers are deprived any
advantage from the illegality of that charge. The
traversers are also deprived of any benefit from 'be
Irish judges having admitted newspapers as esidere
of the facts therein contained against the traversers. It
is quite manifest that this evidence would not have
been received by the Court of Queen's Bench in Erg-
land, yet the traversers are deprived of any ben. tit
arising from the illegality of that evidence. The
eleven questions submitted to the judges are framed 'n
the most unfavourable way for the traversers, and cm
be met and answered negatively on technial reason.,
totally independent of, and unconnected with the mete (4.
Under those circumstances, it would be quite idle to
expect anything favourable from the decision of the
English judges. Let the people, therefore, througheut
Ireland, receive with the utmost tranquillity-, and with-
out the slightest irritation the announcement of an D
favourable decision by the judges." Such, I lover,
would be my father's opinion and advice, if he were
present. My father is thoroughly convinced that Vie
tranquillity of the country will be unimpaired, and that
the remainder of the imprisonment will pass away with :le
same tranquil forbearance on the part of the people tl.ae
has marked the three preceding months. In the pre:ent
state of the political world there is no need of impatiee e
—tranquil perseverance, that is, perseverance accom-
panied by perfect tranquillity., will insure, beyond
doubt, the repeal of the union. My father is very
anxious that the gentlemen engaged in the late registry
in the city of Dublin should be sensible of his dates
gratitude to them for their patriotic and disinterest,t
exertions, and in particular Counsellors Mackey unit
Burke, who deserve the thanks of the Association, for
their legal acumen and patriotic exertions. These gee.
tlemen have set a most laudable example to oh, r
patr:otic barristers and attorneys. It is most desirab.e
to follow up the exertions for registry in the city of
Dublin, and in particular to apply to the Protestant
operatives and tradesmen to procure them to join in the
1 repeal regletration. The Protestant operatives and trad. +-
men have the Mlle, if not a deeper interest in the repeal
of the union than the Catholics, and it is quite cereal,'
iligt no candidate will get the support of the Liberal ie-
terest at the next election but a repealer, no matter what 114
religion may be---that is utterly .tumaterial to the nub-
lie. My father thinks that there would be no objectbei
at all to vote for the present Members if they declare I
themselves Repettlers, as they assuredly ought, if they
consult the material interests of their cons,stuen....
Everything must be done to procure the registratiom to
be universal throughout the counties at the next sessioe ;
'rut this subject is so powerfully taken up by that inesti-
mable patriot, Smith O'Brien, that any details had better
be reserved for his return to town. Peace and persevee
rance—tranquil perseverance! It is manifest that politi-
eal events are thickenicg into such consistency as will
render it impossible that Ireland shall not peaceably ob-
tain justice. Hurra for Repeal !
Mr. R. D. BRowNE explained to the meeting that he hail
penned a letter to the Nation newspaper, in consequence
of some strictures which appeared in that journal ; but
after an interview with Mr. O'Connell, he considered it
the more prudent course, for unanimity sake, not to have
it published.
Mr. WlsTevne than read a report on the subject of the
attendance of Irish Members in Parliament.
The report was adopted.
Mr. GORDON rose up, and in rather an abrupt anti
excited manner, gave notice of the following motioe,
which he expressed his intention of moving on that day
fortnight :—" That in the event of a war with France, to
resolve that an extraordinary general meeting of We
Association be called, exclusively . for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of reviving the
volunteer organisation of 1779 arid 1782, by means of
which the people of Ireland protected their country from
the foreign foe, in circumstances similar to those which
now threaten the security of the three nations, as well as
the general peace of the world ; and under which they
also wrung from the oppressors and Anti-Irish Ministe-
rial factions of those periods, freedom of trade and legis-
lative independence."
When Mr. Gordon had finished reading his notice, and
was about addressing the meeting, he was interrupted by
Mr. R. D. BROWNE, who called upon the Chairman not:
to receive that proposition.—(Loud cries of " Hear,
hear," " Order, order," and some slight excitement.) It
is not safe to receive such a document.—(Great cheer-
ing.) That motion would be manifestly illegal, and Mr.
O'Connell had stated that any such attempt would ex-
pose the Association to danger.—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN expressed his determination not to
receive the notice, as he conceived it was of an illegal
character.
Mr. GORDON, amid some confusion, claimed the right
to speak, and urged that his notice of motion was per..
fectly just and legitimate.
Mr. R.D.l3eoweE protested against Mr. Gordon speak-
ing in reference to the notice, which could not be receiw'..
Town-councillor REILLY interrupted the discussion by
handing in several sums of money.
Mr. GORDON again essayed to address the Chair, whets
Mr. R. D. BROWNE declared that if such vague, un-
digested motions were entertained in that meeting, he
would take up his hat and leave the place. The Hen.
Member then read a letter from the parish priest of
Claremorris, one of Mr. Browne's constituents.
The rent for the week was announced to be 7351.

Mr. M. Blake was then called to the Chair, and a roto
of thanks having been passed to Mr. O'Hea, the meeting
separated.

DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 30.—His Majesty the King
has been pleased to appoint the following superior
officers to attend the review in the camp of Mitz, oa
the 15th of September :—Colonel Starm de Grave, of
the Dragoons; Lieut.-Colonel Baron Forstner Vatk
Dambenoy, of the General Staff; Lieut.-Colonel
Delecourt, of the horse Artillery; and Major Aran
Green, of the Grenadiers. The Duke of Saxo
Weimar and his son are expected at Mitz.
NIMEGRIEN, AUG. 30.—The incessant rainiwhich
we have had for a considerable time had already-
darkened the prospects of the farmers, but the damage
d,ne by that which fell on Saturday and Sunday is
incalculable, especially in the lower parts of the pro-
vince, which in several polders are under water
STAHORST, IN OVERTSSEL, AUG. 29.—The con-
dition of the farmers become worse and worse every
day ; the standing crops and the potatoes are under
water, and it will be difficult to save them. The
water has risen above the dikes, and overflowed this
extensive polder, and looks like a lake many acres
in extent. _ .

THE HAGUE, AUG. 29.—11 is Majesty the King is
expected to return to the Hague about the 3d of Sep-
tember. It is remarkable that almost all the members
of the Royal Family are no,v abroad ; the King and
Queen at Weimar, the Prince and Princess of Orange
at Rome, Prince Henry in the Mediterranean, and
'Acme of the Princes are residing here.
‘Vhile so many complaints are made here in Ger-
many and elsewhere of the wet summer, the heavy
rains, and the overflowing of the rivers, the drought is
equally destructive in Spain ; and accounts from Nor-
way say that the oldest inhabitants cannot remember
such warm and dry weather.

BARTHOLONIEW FAIR.—This fair commenced on

ter.vately, attended On y by the town crier, and some of the
inferior officers of the city. His Lordship arrived at
Messrs. Pootvye and Mudge's, in Smithfield, at about two
o'clock, and proceeded through the Inittse to the back
entrance in Cloth-fair, where barricades had tiron
erected, and a strong body of police stationed to keep
off the crowd. The town-crier then read the proclama-
tion, and in less than five minutes the proceedings were
over. There are this year no large shows in the fair.
Messrs. Johns( n and Nelson Lee, the proprietors of the
far-famed " Richardson's," applied to Mr. Shank, the
market-clerk, for the ground they usually occupied, and
received a reply that the ground could not be let felt the
purpose of erecting shows. The housekeepers in Smith-
field have been deprived of the privilege of letting the
ground in the front of their houses to the keepers of tho
gingerbread and toy-stalls, occasioning a loss to them
collectively of 9001. per year. The Markets Committee-
only have now the power of letting the ground for Stalls,
to d for this they charge 4s. per foot. There are, cm.
sequently, very few stalls, and no dancing- booths nor
swings, the objects of amusement being machines fur
