NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

(From the Second Edition of the Dublin Evening Post of
Saturday.)
Rent for the week, 1251. 14s. 2d.
Mr. STEELE was called to the Chair, and Dr.
O'CONNELL acted as Secretary. He read the re-
turns of several Churchwardens, and many letters
received since their last day's meeting, containing
remittances of Catholic Rent.

Mr. LAWLESS observed, that large sums of money
were coming from all parts of the country, and though
he knew the Association had the perfect confidence
of the whole country, he thought the accounts should
be furnished more in detail.

A conversation on the subject occurred between
Mr Lawless, Mr. Bellew, Mr. Browne, and Mr.
O'Connell, when it was agreed that the accounts as
furnished were sufficiently in detail, and the funds of
the Association would only be wasted by publishing
them in a more lengthened shape. The books being
open to the inspection of every one.
Mr. O'CONNELL said, before he proceeded to read
some letters which had been addressed to himself,
he had to observe that for the next three weeks he
should be absent on professional business, and lie
would not leave town without giving his opinion
that the Catholics of Ireland should move an
Address to the Marquis of Anglesey, and when
he returned he should take steps to forward it. All
classes had so much to be grateful to him for, and
there was so much to be reasonably hoped from the
Marquis's Government, that the Catholics could be
at no loss to form an Address.

Mr. BELLEW and Mr. LAWLESS fully agreed with
Mr. O'Connell.

Mr. O'CONNELL proposed that the London Ca-
tholic Journal should be received into the rooms
of the Association ; and also that it should be sub-
mitted to the Committee, to frame a resolution to
be inserted in the Scotch Papers contradictory of
the assertion made by Sir W. Scott, in a lately
published work of his, stating, " that the Catholic
Clergy, could grant indulgences for the commission
of sins."

Mr. DILLoN seconded the motion.
Mr. O'CONNELL proposed that his grand-daughter,
Miss Mary O'Connell Fitzsimon, should be admitted
a member of the Asspciation.—Carried.

Mr. O'CONNELL said he had, by the industry and
kindness of many friends, collected a great number
of invaluable documents relating to the Treaty of
Limerick, and moved that the sum of 50/. should be
applied to the purpose of printing them, that they
might be in the hands of every Member of Parlia-
ment, before the 29th of April.
Mr. LAWLESS seconded the motion.—(Carried.)
Mr. O'CONNELL moved a Resolution that Mr.
Hume should be requested to allow his name to be
enrolled as a Member of the Association.
Lord KILLEEN seconded the motion.

Mr. LAWLESS said, that he thought it likely that
Mr. Hume, as a Member of Parliament, would de-
cline the honour, from motives of prudence and
kindness to the Catholic Body.—The motion was
put and carried.

- Mr. O'GoR3!AN MAtioN brought forward the
motion he had given notice of some time since, that
a Bust of Mr. O'Connell should he purchased.. by
the Association, and preserved in the Roems of the
Association, and that a Committee be appointed to
receive subscriptions for the purpose.
Lord KILLEEN seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Several Gentlemen were named for the Com-
mittee, and the Meeting adjourned.
