SEPARATE MEETING OF CATHOLICS,

DUBLIN.

Yesterday there was a separate meeting by ad-
journment; ...IiNTH@NY BRoWNE, Esq., in the Chair.
Mr. Conway handed in 5/. from the Right Rev.
Dr. Kernan, as his Lordship's subscription to the
Clare Election ; also a further sum of 50/., collected
at a meeting convened by his Lordship at Carrie-
macross, immediately on understanding that Mr.
O'Connell was to stand for Clare.

Mr. L'Estrange handed in 231., collected in St.
Audeon's parish, and stated several instances of
ju-
venile patriotism that came under his observation on
occasion of collecting it.
Mr. O'DWYER said, that the various reports afloat
this day served to shew the utter hoplessness of the
cause of the other party. Out of 100 of these re-
ports D 9 were lies : the first rumour was, that an
unfortunate attorney was shot; this was untrue;
the said attorney was still alive and merry. It was
also said that the Sheriff was resolved not to put Mr.
O'Connell in nomination; this Mr. O'Dwyer also
contradicted, as well as some others, and proceeded
to observe that Government had directed much of
its attention to this election. All the police, all
the artillery in the South of Ireland, were on their
march for the scene of contest ; there was, however,
no occasion for all this.

Mr. Lynch had received a letter from his esta-
blishment near Nenagh. Mr. O'Connell arrived
there at three o'clock yesterday. There were up-
wards of 40,000 persons collected, whom he ad-
dressed for nearly three quarters of an hour. It was
with difficulty that he could leave it at four o'clock.
He was then accompanied by .5,000 cavalry, con-
sisting of the town and country people, besides
another troop of a different description—ladies
mounted on pillions.—(Laughter.) He had an-
other letter, which stated that the principal of the
landed proprietors of Clare had left their tenantry to
act as they thought proper for themselves; so that
from this it was thought there would be no contest.
Mr. L'EsTRANGE spoke as entertaining consider-
able apprehension for the scenes that were likely to
occur on the Ist and 12th July, in the North. An
individual had mentioned to him, that a person in
the Liberty had shown him a large bag filled with
orange ribbons, to be sent to the North for the Ist
and
.12th July.

The amount of the day's collection of subscrip•
tions-for the election expenses appeared to be up-
wards of ninety pounds.—Dublin Morning Register,

CAMBRIDGE COMMENCEMENT.---This fes-
tival went off with much eclat, chiefly by reason of the at-
tendance of the Chancellor (Duke of GLoucEsrEn.)
Each day was distinguished by some novelty; and public
breakfasts, dinners, morning and evening concerts, sue-
seeded each other to the great delight of those who fre-
quented them. Mademoiselle SONTAG was there ; and her
beauty and graceful manner infinitely delighted the grave
fellows and divines of Alma Mater. The company
throughout the festival was highly numerous and
fashionable.

The first portion of the catalogue of Mr.
BROOKES'S celebrated Museum is at length prepared. The
delay appears excusable, the description being necessarily
very intricate. The sale of the whole will occupy 25 days,
commencing on the 14th inst.

the Sheriff to do so. In case of the refusal of the
Sheriff, it woold h. the ditty of the Assessor
to give his opinion of Oa, law publicly upon the
point, and then to duclare that he should be 110
longer considered the Assessor of 'the Election, his
advice not being follo.ved. Amongst the rumours
flying about town to-day is one that has caused some
alarm ; but I have made every inquiry into its truth,
and I cannot find any authentic source to trace it to. It
was said that Mr. Edward Hickman was shot in a duel
by a Protestant Gentleman at the Liberal side. It is
generally understood that Mr. Hickman mentioned to
his reputed adversary last week that he hoped nothing
would occur to disturb, the friendship which had
hitherto existed between them, but that lie heard an
attempt was to be made to bring over his freeholders
to Mr. O'Connell's side, and that he had his pistols
ready, and would use them against any man who
would thus interfere. It is said that the gentleman
thus cautioned replied; that he, after such a threat,
felt he was bound, as a man of honour, to show his
regard for it, and that Mr. Hickman's freeholders
would be the first he would canvass. Probably this
conversation, which certainly did occur, may have
given rise to the report of this duel, which the
rumour alleges took place late yesterday even-
ing, in the county of Limerick. I repeat my
own disbelief of the affair, although I think
it right to give you the foregoing account.
Letters from the south and south-west of Ire-
land, in town to-day, state that parties of mounted
police are proceeding from every quarter of the
country towards Clare; and I am enabled to say
that there is a general movement of cavalry and
some pieces of artillery towards the same quarter;
but these precautions are unnecessary. The people
are too well disciplined to break the peace, and give
their opponents-who have all the law, as the
peasantry phrase is, at their side—an opportunity of
outiing them down. You are already aware that
Father Maguire is on the spot. His influence in Ireland
is immense, from the opinion generally entertained of
his being a persecuted man. O'Connell's reception in
Nenagh yesterday was meat extraordinary. The entire
population poured out to meet him. Thousands of
pedestrians, each man bearing a green branch, typical
of peace, in his hand, went forward to meet him
miles on his route: Four thousand horsemen at
least, all in precession, and bearing at intervals ban-
ners, ornamented with appropriated devices, and pre-
ceded by a band, attended him as a retinue. Through-
out his various addresses he besought the people to
be peaceable, and the effect of his advice was visible.
After he had passed through the country the crowds
dispersed. A body of horsemen attended him as a
guard of honour from one district to another.
