IRELAND.

THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS COMMISSION

DUBLIN. JAN. 6.—The Commissioners held their first
meeting this day, at their office, Lower Gardiner street.
Mr. R. O'Carroll, the new Roman Catholic secretary.
and Mr. W. P. Mathews, the Protestant secretary,
attended. A second meeting of the Commissioners is to
be held in the course of the week.
MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
BISHOPS.

A special meeting of the Roman Catholic prelates is
to be held in this city on the 22d instant. One of the
objects of the meeting, it is said, is to consider the pre.
sent state of the public mind, not only in reference to
the Charitable Bequests Act, but also in regard to the
statements put forward in the newspapers respecting a
concordat with Rome, and the payment of the Roman
Catholic clergy by the State.
In the report of the Repeal Association this day, Mr.
Smith O'Brien alluded to the excitement produced by
the Charitable Bequests Act. This was the first refer-
ence to the subject at the Conciliation Hall.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The weekly meeting of the Association was held this
day in the Conciliation Hall.' Counsellor Mullen in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN said, he trusted that the same spirit,
energy, and determination which had actuated the people
of Ireland during the two past years would continue to
animate them in the presf-nt. It was to the Association
they were indebted for the defeat of Lord Stanley's
Registration Bill, and it had likewise been the means of
preventing bad legislation for the two past years, and he
trusted it would also be the means of extending good
measures during the ensuing session of Parliament, and
although these measures might fall far short of the great
object for which they were contending, yet he would
accept them without prejudice to the opinions which he
entertained.

The SECRETARY commenced the business of the day
by reading the following letter from Mr. O'Connell,
enclosing 511., the amount of his own subscriptions and
those of the immediate members of his family for the
year 1845:

" Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 3, 1845.
"My dear Ray,—l have been so employed, whilst
within doors, on the Charitable Bequests Bill and its
pernicious accompaniments, that I am totally unable to
send the address to the Irish people. You shall, I trust,
have it for the next day of meeting,
" In the meantime I enclose you 511. for my family
subscription to the repeal rent for 1845, thus:—Daniel
O'Connell, M.P., 51. ; Maurice O'Connell, M.P., 5L ;
John O'Connell, M.P., 5/. ; Daniel O'Connell, jun., 51. ;
for Morgan O'Connell, Esq., 1/. ; Mrs. O'Connell Fitz-
simon, 11. ; Miss O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Eily O'Con-
nell Fitzsimon, IL ; Kate O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ;
Christopher O'Connell Fitzsimon, 1/. ; Thom-18 O'Con-
nell Fitzsimon, II ; Henry O'Connell Fitzsimon. 1/ ;
Maurice O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Daniel O'Connell
(Maurice), I/. ; John O'Connell, jun., IL ; Fanny O'Con-
nell, IL; Mary O'Connell, IL ; Mrs. O'Connell, Aghadda,
IL; Mary O'Connell (Charles), Il.; Teresa O'Connell, Il.;
Kate O'Connell, IL; Daniel O'Connell, 1L; Mrs. French,
IL; Daniel O'Connell French, 1L; Christopher O'Connell
French, 1L ; Nicholas O'Connell French, 11. ; Harriett
O'Connell French. IL ; Mary O'Connell French, IL ;
Alice O'Connell French, 11. ; Mrs. Morgan O'Connell,
1/. ; Mrs. O'Connell (John), I/. ; Daniel O'Connell, IL ;
James O'Connell, IL ; John O'Connell, jun., 1/. ; Bessy
O'Connell, 11. Total, 51/.
" I will be in Dublin to rally for the repeal as speedily
as I can tear myself from this delightful spot.
" Give, or renew, my notice for Monday week of a
motion to make such arrangements during the next ses-
sion of Parliament as may preclude the necessity of the
repeal Members attending in London. I have a strong
impression that the repeal cause—the only thing in
which the Irish people have a real interest—can be best
managed and promoted in Ireland.—Believe me to be,
very faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL.
" T. M. Ray, Esq."
On the motion of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, seconded by
J. P. Sosianis, M.P., the letter was inserted on the
minutes.
The SECRETARY read a letter from Mr. Steele, dated
Fenagh, county Leitrim, announcing the success of his
mission, and stating that tranquillity had been com-
pletely restored in the disturbed-districts.
*Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN handed in the renewed subscrip-
tions of Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., and several gen-
tlemen.
Mr. J. M'NEVIN brought forward a number of re-
ports, amongst them one on the army estimates, and
having moved their adoption, proceeded to address the
meeting. On concluding, the Learned Gentleman was
loudly cheered.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having seconded the adoption of
the reports, and moved the thanks of the Association t►
Mr. Davis, by whom they were prepared, proceeded to
address the meeting. After a few prefatory observa-
tions, the Hon. Gentleman said, that after the most ma-
ture consideration, he had arrived at the conclusion that
his services were of more utility to his country in the
Conciliation Hall than in the chapel of St. Stephen.
He had the approval of his conscience and his constitu-
tion for arriving at that determination. The Cork Ex-
aminer, one of the ablest supporters of repeal, had ad-
vocated the policy of sending repeal Members to Par-
liament. He differed entirely from that journal. They.
might as well end. avour to persuade the wolf to 'relin-
quish his prey, as induce the people of England to grant
a repeal of the union. Had not their grievances been
pressed upon the attention of the Legislature and Eng •
land generally till they had almost become a bye-word ?
Redress was only to be achieved through their own ex-
ertions. They should act on the public mind, and en-
deavour by every means possible to win over that por-
tion of their countrymen who stood apart from them,
and when that desirable object should be obtained they
would be in a position to demand and enforce the resti-
tution of their Legislature. It was wrong to attribute the
non-attendance of the repeal Members to their Parlia-
mentary duties to idleness ; for his part, wherever he
was his entire time was devoted to the public service.
The English newspapers were congratulating each other
on the decline of the repeal cause, but he could tell them
that he was not acquainted with a man who was a re-
pealer in 1843 or 1844 who was not a repealer at that
moment. Their policy was uniform—their opinions
unanimous. It had been stated that Mr. O'Connell had
lost his influence—that he was no longer able to
direct the power he had raised up-;-but he could inform
the people of England that he was still the acknow-
ledged and recognised leader of his countrymen, and
he was confident that nothing could ever occur to inter-
rupt the harmony which existed between them. An en-
deavour had been made to create disunion amongst the
people of Ireland, and certainly if the British Minister
meditated such to be the result of his Bequests Act, he
could not have gone a better way about creating such a
result. But he told that Minister he would be disap-
pointed. The prelates who had accepted office under
that Act, had declared the measure as being deficient in
many resp.,cts, and he was sure that unless these defects
were remedied, they would refuse to assist in carrying
out a Bill which was so obnoxious to the country at
large. The decline of the repeal rent had also furnished
their friends on the other side with a subject of gratula-
tion, but he trusted that the people of Ireland would
contradict that assertion, by systemising that taxation—
a self-imposed taxation, which should continue till the
union was repealed. The people should supply them
with the means, he was going to say, of carrying on the
government of the country, but he would not expose
himself' to an indictment of 36 yards length, and he
would say, all the operations incidental to the carrying
on of the agitation. After some further observations,
the lion. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.
Mr. O'HEa (barrister) moved that the Committee of
the Association should be directed to prepare a general
view of the proceedings of the Association for the past
year. The Learned Gentleman then commented at
some length on the various political phases through
which the poople of Ireland had passed during the last
forty-five years, and detailed the several constitutional
triumphs they had achieved, and concluded an eloquent
address amidst general applause.
After the dispatch of some routine business, Mr.
Smith O'Brien announced the rent for the week to be
243/. 15s. ld.—The meeting then adjourned.
VICE-REGAL COURT.—The Lord Lieutenant enter-
tained the following party at dinner on Saturday, at the
Vice-regal Lodge :—Hon.Miss A'Court, Lord Eliot, Lady

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE JAMES GEIFROY, VAG
—On Monday evening last, between six and severe
o'clock, a most darkg attempt was made to assassinate
this gentleman ; he was on his re.urn from his cal
residence at Bracklen to his house at Edgeworthstow
and when within a short distance of the latter plece..'d
person named William Kerrigan came up to him, r
presented and snapped a pistol at him, which provide,'
tially only burned priming. Kerrigan then ran 011
but the Edgeworthstown police being up to the spot in
few seconds, and receiving the name of the offender fl 4
Mr. Ger oy they went in pursuit of Kerrigan, and, sui„d
a fatiguitt, search, succeeded in arresting him, n.„,'
marched him into Longford gaol on the following 1:04;

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF T vg
KNOCKMAROON.—A most appalling accident, attend
with the loss of the lives of four children, took plane jel
Saturday evening, about four o'clock, at the little 1104
of Knockmaroon, which lies contiguous to the sontbel
and western boundary wall of the Phcenix Park,lll34
the low road to the Strawberry Beds and Lucile+ ,i 0
The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the '-•
extensive and valuable improvements in the pb
Park, constructed a new road at the back of tkein„,.°lli
Hibernian Military School, through what is filow--„,o,
known as the Furry Glen, about midway from tbeA; the
mit level of the ground to that of the valley along"-dfolk
River Liffey. The place was so romantically bu
in its aspect that it was resolved to add to its aPPear
..1.
ance by forming the upper part of the glen into as
ficial lake, nature having provided for a supply of vino
by a rivulet which ran along, emptying itself into4o
Liffey, and formed the boundary between the parP•o
of Chapelizod and Castleknack. The usual precautio
for permitting the overflow of the lake to pass awl rid
provided for by means of a sewer. The boundary 000
the park was at the bottom of the glen, and about 0
yards from it were the houses, the inmates of Which
victims. It would appear that the masonry work ofdi
sewer gave way, and the great body of water epeeol
filled the lower glen, as it is stated to the height of.
or eight feet, the opening in the wall being quite ins° 4
cient to let off the rush of water; its weight soon Ito
down about twenty or thirty feet of the wall, 110 fed
overwhelming flood swept into the houses, and in 6,-60
WI
minutes, before any human help could be afforded, 'l4
children, and a cow, the chief support of one poor
were drowned. 'An officer, whom we understoodoo
Mr. De Laney, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, who 1;1
riding fortunately along the road, with intrepid humli
which does honour to him, rode into the water,A,
succeeded in rescuing an aged woman and three cf;ii
dren from destruction. Three others of the b(10
were not approachable. The names of the sufferersA

now on board one of the London and Dublin stesTlioi
and at present on duty, lost three children, the ew„,;01
eleven years, the youngest an infant, the third ale
four years old. One of the children, aged nine, prod 2
tially saved herself by climbing on the top of her fel',
loom, and was found in that position half dead, cl
with death•iike grasp to it. The eldest girl,' itiefjoi
posed, lost her life in her anxiety for the infant 00,e
youngest sister. The poor mother was at market, ;ft
viding some necessaries for the week's support; and t,
y
turned but to witness their dead bodies, and that aj-
cow, their chief means of support. A man osTd
Joseph Coyle had one child drowned. A poor !giro
man named Mullen, by trade a smii h, living on
bank of the Liffey, the opposite side of the road, )
his house and furniture all wrecked and destroyed;oft
respectable tradesman namt d Butler had his furPl_A,
destroyed. It was to the courage, decision, and b 3
nity of Mr. De Larcy that this man owes the
serestien of his mother and children's lives.

were all destroyed, and a scene of more unqus9
misery than these wretched dwellings presented resi

should be devised for these suffering families ; u.,„"
is imperatively incumbent upon the Commissioners,/
Woods and Forests to compensate them for the
thus unwittingly inflicted upon them. The bodlc'w
