ST. CLEMENT DANES, STRAND.—A Ves-
try Meeting of this parish was held on Thursday evening,
when the whole of the Churchwardens and Overseers' ac-
counts were passed without opposition, and all the pariah
officers were re-elected, except the organ bellows-blower,
who had resigned; and in whose stead JOHN SMITH was
appointed at a salary of ;01. per annum. Mr. CLARtm,-
the navy agent, of Essex-street, Strand, one of the over-
seers, in rising,to propose that a rate of 6d. in the pound
be made for the relief of the poor for the ensuing quarter,
said that a Allah higher rate would be required on the
next occasion, as the applicants for relief had increased
during the last six months, and were daily increasing.—
After some discussion the rate of 6d. in the pound was
then agreed to.

We regret to state, that Mr. PATRICK DE-
VEREUX, of Callan, was fired at, about three o'clock on
Friday afternoon, through a hedge on his farm, near that
town, and killed on the spot. This farm is on the estate of
Lord CLI/,DEN, held by a Mr. FITZG ERA LD, of the Queen's
County, whose former tenants (ConYs and Russet)' bad
been ejected for non-payment of rent. Mr. DEVEREUX
took the land from Mr. FITZGERALD, and to this cause alone
is the atrocity attributed. Numbers of people heard the
report of the tiring, but, conceiving it to proceed from the
guns of some gentlemen who were sporting in the neigh-
bourhood, it caused no alarm, and the murderers escaped.
In these factious times, it may be necessary to state, that
political feeling had nothing whatever to do with the assas:
sination. 'Mr. D. was not only a Catholic, but was sup-
posedito exercise an extraordinaryinfluence over the multi-
tude, and had, in fact, been rather a remarkable character
30 years ago in this county.—Leinster Journal.

TRANQUILLIZATION OF THE SOUTH.
CESSATION of MEETINGS of the. PEASANTRY.

(From the Second Edition of the lintgbi Morning Re-
gister of Thursday.)
. .
the firm], dinner given in Limerick, on
Monday, to Mr. O'Goiniati Mahon and Mr. Steele,
these two gentlemen came to a resolution of going
into the county Tipperary on the following day, ft*
the ptnpose of carrying into immediate effect the
exhortations .Of the. Catholic Association to the
peOPle,, to atstalti troth S.iith Meetings as those
which, have recently excited so ,rrinat They
da,okiinglv.left Limerick together, on Tiiesday, and
in the evening of the same day proceeded to Kil-
laloe. A numerous meeting greeted their arrival in
the Chapel—the Rev. Mr: Scanlan was called to the
tldr; end the mover aiid seconder of O'Connell ad-
dressed the People with greta power and feeling
upon the subject of their visit. They were reetived
with reiterated acclamatioas,and the Meeting entered
into a resolution proposed by O'Gorman Mahon,
and seconded by his friend, that they should forth-
with nominate and send, deputies through Clare, and
the different parishes of the neighbouting countries,
particularly Tipperary; to inform all, that it was the
wish of the Association that there should be no
further assembling and marching through the country.
The deputies were instantly appointed, and the
Meeting solemnly pledged itself to perform what was
required, the Rev. Mr. Scanlan promising to act
himself as a deputy.
It was night before the meeting left the chapel;
the town was illuminated, and O'Gorman Mahon
and Mr. Steele were drawn by the multitude through
the streets of Killaloe; and were afterwards accom-
panied by an immense concourse of the people with
lighted torches and lanterns along the road by the
side of Lottgh Derg, which leads to Newcourt.
On arriving at the chapel of Newcourt, the report
of their progress had gone before them, and the large
chapel was lighted up and densely crowded.
The Rev. Mr. MOYLAN was called to the chair,
and he and the two tranquillisers, addressed the
people, when a resolution was carried with accla-
mation, that they would obey the voice of the As-
sociation, and act in the same manner as the people
of Killaloe. _ _ _

The confidence reposed by the people of Ireland
in O'Gorman Mahon and Mr. Steele, the proposer
and seconder of Mr. O'Connell in Clare, is bound-
less; and the perfect tranquillization of the South
may be considered as completed from this moment.

GREAT MEETING AT NAVAN,
OF THE FRIENDS OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.

Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday.

On Tuesday, shortly after two o'clock, this most
powerful and imposing assemblage of Protestants
and Catholics was convened in the Parish Chapel.
The estimated value of landed property possessed
by the Protestants and Catholics who attended the
meeting, is, at least, one half million sterling per
annum. Of the persons in attendapee ten were Ma-
gistrates.
At half-past two Lord GoßmAssToivN was called
to the chair, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering,
and MATTHEW O'REILLY, Esq., was appointed Se-
cretary.

Lord KILLEEN, in rising to propose the first reso-
lution, considered it the duty of every man who
valued the peace of Ireland, to come forward, how-
ever humble his talents, however high or however
low his rank, and give his aid towards extricating
the country from difficulties of the most appalling
nature. The resolution lie would move for adop-
tion was one declaring that civil and religious liberty
was the right of every individual who contributed
to support the state. Such was his opinion. My
Lord, I am convinced that until religious liberty be
established in Ireland, there can be no peace and
concord here. What is now the state of Ireland,
and what has produced that state ? Is it possible
for any of us to view it without feelings of regret,
anxiety, and alarm ? One half of
.the people ar-
rayed against the other. In the North, a part, and
no inconsiderable part of the population, armed, com-
bined, and bound together by the fear of losing the
ascendance they have enjoyed for more than a cen-
tury-Lin the South, immense masses of discontented
.Catholics, unarmed, it is true, but organised, dis-
ciplined, instructed, and bound together by -a deep-
felt sense. of undeserved humiliation. The gentry
divided into three classes, the liberal Protestant, the
illiberal Protestant, that is to says those who think
concessions to the Catholics would endanger the
safety of the national institution, and the Catholic—
property losing its influence and consequently its
value—clubs of opposite tendencies- establishing
every daysocial life embittered—a sullen discon-
tent prevailing. Such is the state of Ireland, and
what has caused this ? An absurd and obstinate per-
severance in a system at no time necessary, but now
manifestly impolitic, pregnant with pernicious conse-
quence to Protestants as well as Catholics—a sys-
tem which unjustly elevates the one and as unjustly
depresses the other—which creates jealousies and
heart-burnings--which gives to a few what is the
common right of all—which deprives the state of
the services of men of talent and industry—which
poisons private society and destroys the comforts of
social life. Why is this system persevered in ?
Are the Catholics unworthy of trust ? Do they
hold opinions inconsistent with liberty, or incompa-
tible with admission to civil authority ? No, we
hold no opinions contrary to civil and religious
liberty. There is another subject of some import-
ance to which I wish chiefly to advert, because ac-
cusations have been made against us--when I say
us, I mean the Catholic Association, which is only
another name for the Catholics of Ireland, which
ought, as they are unfounded, to be repelled. We
are accused of having ulterior objects in view, and it
is said by many that we should not be satisfied with
Catholic emancipation. We are accused of seeking
an ascendancy over the Protestants. This I un-
equivocally deny—we demand equality, fair honour-
able equality ; but we seek no predominance-r-we
want that which we would give to others, that
which our exertions have contibuted to procure for the
Protestant Dissenters—perfect liberty of conscience.
We are accused of seeking to dissolve the connexion
between Great Britain and Ireland. In a body like
the Catholic Association, consisting of several thou-
sand persons, it is not possible for me to say what
may be the speculative opinions of every individual;
but this I say, that in all the recorded prOCeedings,
the Association has not only not evinced any dis-
position to sever the connexion, but that its object
is to see that connexion strengthened, and placed on
a firm and permanent basis; and I believe there is
no rational man, however he may wish for a resident
Legislature here, that is not convinced that the con-
nection of the countries is essential to the glory of
England, and to the welfare of Ireland. Then, we are
told, that radical- reform is our object. There may
be, I believe there are, radical reformers in the As-
sociation, -but the body has pronounced, as yet, no
opinion upon that subject. For niyself, whenever
the queition of reforin has been introduced at Out
meetings, I. have uniformly opposed its, introduc-
tion, not because I believe the present system of
representation to be as pure and perfect as it
might be—not because I do not think it capable
of many improvements ; but because I see that on
the question of reform, scarcely any two people are
agreed, and because 1 know that so long as we are
degraded as Catholics, unanimity is necessary, I
have always opposed a question minconnected with
ours, and. likely to produce division amongst us. A
further charge is, that we contemplate the spolia-
tion of church property. ThiS charge we unequi-
vocally deny. The Duke. of Wellington, we are
told, intends to settle the peace of Ireland by an ad-
, justment of our claims. We are also told, at other
times, that he has no intention of that sort. The
choice is now in his power; he may annihilate the
tremendous power of the Catholic Association, by
an extension of justice, or he may, by adhering to
the same system of which we are the immediate vic-
tims, perpetuate discord and division. But what-

ever selection he may make, our amuse is clear; we
must persevere in the steady path of dignified re-
monstrance—year after year, month. after month, day'
after day, our petitions should pour in Upon the table
of the Houses of Parliament. We must be.firm,
dignified; and peaceable. The peace of the country
must be preserved, and our emancipation. is certain
avoid secret societies, ribboinstn, and illegal combi-
ntuions ; and when the.great and legitimate object
of ythff meetings are over, avoid falling into the
snares of your One hies, who are on the watch for
you ;do this and your siitte,ss is certain. His Lord-
ship then read the resolution, and sat down amidst
the most enthusiastic applause.
The lion, Mr, BARNWALL—My Lord Gormans-
town; the
.Catholics of Ireland do not seek for eman-
eipatiOn, for the purpose of injuring others, but their
great objeCt is to strengthen the hands of the Go-
vernment, and they rife guided more anxiously to re-
store peace to the country, than by any selfish eaten-
latioff's of advantage to themselves. For. my .own
part, I deciato that if I thought Catholic Emancipa-
tion would injure . the' poorest Protestant in the
country, I would be against it,
The question was put, on the first rf
passed unanimously. tQlution, and
Several other gentlemen addressed the Meeting,
which dispersed, alter a long and animated discussion.

ATTACK ON THE POLICE BARRACKS

AT C.ASTLETOW, IIPPERARY.

(Further particulars.)
The following we have received from a gentleman
of undoubted Setatity !---
" About nine o'clock, oil Sunday morning, a very
large body of the peasantry • paraded at Castletown,
county Tipperary, dressed in various colonred rib-
bons, sashes, &c. and in passing by the Police bar,.
racks, which i 3 within AMA et) yards of the glebe-
house of Castletown, one of the police interfered
and representing the impropriety of musical instru-
tnents, &c. On the Sabbath-day, took the fife from
the performer; the party got angry at this inter-
ference, and the policeman -returned the fife;, they.
were not satisfied with this, however, but imme-
diately beat the police into their barrack with stones
and proceeded to break the windows and slates with
the same missiles.; the police remained at the win-
dows to prevent their entrance, but did not fire on
them, acting with great forbearance. Some gentle-
men who were at Castletown-glebe, understanding
that their resentment was entirely directed against the
police, went up to the barrack, and succeeded in.pre-
vailing on the people to give up the attack; hcipes were
entertained that all was now over; but in an hour
and a half after, the Reverend Mr. Moylan, parish
priest of Castletown, rode hastily towards the bar.
rack with information that the peasantry were im-
mediately after him in vastly greater numbers, with
an intention of murdering the police; and that un-
less they were got out of the barrack, they would
' positively be sacrificed, and the barrack destroyed;
and that he had no influence over them, and was
totally unable to stop them. This was immediately
communicated to the police, and they then seeing
such a body coming on them, • and hearing this in-
telligence, knowing that if they made a stand num-
bers must have besn shot, and that they themselves
should be also eventually murdered, they quitted the
barrack, and retreated to the house of Anthony Par-
ker, Esq., the neighbouring Magistrate, to act under
his immediate command. The peasantry then pro-
ceeded to destroy the barrack, which they have
effectually done, as also every article of furniture in
the house.
A second letter just received attics, the in-
surgents carried off a police carbine, and burned the
barrack bedding.—Limerick Chronicle, Wednesday.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE, who, we are glad to
report, is nearly recovered from his late accident, passed
through this town with Lady WHARNCLIFFE, on Tuesday,
on a visit to his Grace the Dukc of DEvoNsuntr, at Chats-
worth.— Sheffield Courant.

EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECII OF JOHN
BOYD, EsQ., AT THE COUNTY DONEGAL LATE PaOTEsT-
ANT MEETING.—If we look beyond the Aisociation for
what are called the signs of the times, what are we to
think of the speech delivered by the Member for Derry, at
the Anniversary Dinner on the 12th of August—qureque
ipse miserritnus audivi. Of 111 r. DAWSON, as a private
gentleman, I know little, and have nothing to say; but the
speech which I then beard, coining from a quasi Minister,
a servant of the Crown, and a relative of the Home Secre-
tary, affords metier for deep consideration. I cenfest
should not be inclined to give that gentleman credit fur
much judgment and discretion, when he chose such a fling
and such a place to deliver such a speech, whether Mr.
DAwsoN has, or has not, changed his principles. To address
a company assembled to celebrate the exploits of their Pro-
testant ancestors, to commemorate the erection of a trophy
to their gallant defender, upon the very day on which that
city had, after a contest almost unexampled, been relieved
from the domination of an arbitrary and bigotted Popish
Monarch ; and that after dinner on that day, when wine
had strongly excited those patriotic and laudable feelings,
for any man to state at such time, that the events they
met to celebrate excited " a painful recollection to every
time lover• of his country," and that no man could read the
events without " mingled feelings of triumph and disap-
pointment"—to eulogise SARSVIELD i❑ opposition to
WALKER, as a man who had adhered to his legitimate
Sovereign—a man, by the bye, who never was
opposed to WALKER-and to tell them that their country
was at peace and in prosperity, which was entirely owing
to the moderation and purity of the Catholics, did not in
my opinion argue much discretion in a practised Member
of Parliament and servant of the Crown—and it was re-
ceived, as must have been anticipated even by himself;
with every mark of the most determined disapprobation.
But look at the picture he draws of the state of this
country, under the dominion of the Association, fas est
ab hoste docere. "It depends on the Catholic Association
whether the Clergy are to receive their incomes or not. The
condition of the landlords is not much more consoling ; they
are already become mere ciphers upon their estates. In many
places they are worse than ciphers. They have been forced to
become the tools of their domineering masters, the Catholic
Priesthood, and it depends upon a single breath, a single
resolution of the Catholic Association, whether the land-
lords are to be robbed of their rents or not."—(Hear.)—
When such things are stated by a Minister and servant of
the Crown, I would ask any man have we not arrived at
the time when every person ought to declare publicly his
sentiments, and where a man remaining neuter ought to
be infamous.—(Cheers.)—The aspect of affairs affords
matter for deep and grave consideration. The fact is, we
have been deserted by the Government, or rather there has
been no Government in Ireland upon this question. Our•
Lords Lieutenant and their Secretaries have been ill as-
sorted, and put in contradiction to each other, like horses
in draft, who do not draw together. When we have a
Protestant Viceroy, we have a liberal or emancipating
Secretary. The Earl TALBOT, an honourable undisguised
open Protestant, was coupled with a saint and an emanci-
pator. The Marquis WELLESLEY, a friend to Catholic
