FRIGHTFUL DESCENT OF MR.

GREEN, AND LOSS OF THE BALLOON.

It is with extreme pleasure we are enabled to contradict the
rumour that prevailed in town on Thursday, relative to the death
of that daring and adventurous aeronaut, Mr. Charles Green,
who, it was reported, had lost his life by the de,truction of his
balloon, occasioned, as it was stated, by a spark from the ire-
works attached to the car igniting with the gas.
It is true that the balloon, with all its apparatus, is lost ;
that Mr. Green effected one of the most fearful descents ever
recorded in the annals of aerostation ; that he became entangled
with the netting; that he was dragged between four awl five
miles in the direction of the river Medway, but by the inter-
position of Providence his life was miraculously spared, his
only injuries being a few but severe bruises, and a contusion
and abrasion of the skin of the right hand. _ _ _

Previous to leaving Vauxhall Gardens on Wednesday night
the wind was blowing strong west by south, and Mr. Green
consequently expressed his intention of effecting a descent as
speedily as possible, in fact, as soon as he cleared the metro-
polis. He was recommended by some friends not to attempt
the ascent, and particularly with fireworks, but he replied that
he was determined—that he did not anticipate any danger, and
that rather than disappoint the public he would comply with
the terms of his engagement with the lessee of the gardens.
The ascent, which took place at about a quarter to eleven
o'clock, was a most brilliant spectacle. The fireworks (con-
structed and arranged by Mr. Darby, the celebrated pyro-
technist and artist to the gardens) were splendid, and the
whole affair appeared to give entire satisfaction to the thou-
sands of spectators assembled both in the gardens, outside, on
the bridges, and, in fact, at every point and eminence from
whence a view of the ascent and pyrotechnic display could be
obtained.

A party of gentlemen stopped till four e'clock in the morn-
ing at the gardens, anxiously waiting the arrival of Mr. Green,
as he had promised to return to Vauxhall, in the event of his
descending in the suburban districts of the metropolis, and
provided that he could obtain a conveyance to town. No in-
telligence of his descent having been received at the gardens
up to four o'clock, several of his friends became somewhat
alarmed for his safety, while others felt no uneasiness, being
convinced that the balloon had travelled a great distance, and
that Mr. Green was unable to arrive in London. At length
the following note was received by poq, addressed to Mr. T.
Holt, the treasurer of the gardens, and dated from the ter-
minus of the London and 13Iackwall Railway, in Fenchurch-

street :

" Fenchureh-street, Thursday Morning, Nine o'clock.—My
dear Sir,—After a rapid trip of 35 minutes, I effected a landing
about six miles beyond Gravesend. The wind raged with such
fury that the grapnel tore away from everything that opposed
its progress ; and the balloon, after reboots ling from place to
place, and dragging me over the earth bet ?teen three and four
miles, got the car into a deep dyke, when being, from the es-
cape of gas, prevented from ascending, I hoped to have suc-
ceeded in packing it, as in the turnipefield at Farnin,,,l.am ;
but the increased fury of the wind again dragged me over the
earth, until, no longer able to hold on, it at length e,caped
from my grasp. I am, however, in great hopes of obtaining it
again should it continue inland, as it must be stopped and de-
tained by the nesting in the eveet of its coming in contact with
wood or trees. I have sustained no severe injury, but am
suffering severely from my cold. 1 am going home to bed,
and should much like to see Mr. Lewis at Highgate, as I wish
him to offer a reward of 51. to any person res'oring it to my
possession.--In haste for post, yours, very respectfully,
C. GREEN."
Immediately on the receipt of this communication, Mr.
Holt and Mr. I). Liddle (one of the proprietors of the
Gardens) started for Xrfil Cottage, Highgate, the re idence
of Mr. Green, and were subsequently followed by Mr. T. R.
Lewis (the gentleman alluded to in Mr. Green's note), and
upon their arrival found the veteran aeronaut in bed, affec-
tionately attended by Mrs. Green, who, at the time of his
ascent, expressed her fears for her husband's safety, from the
high wind blowing at the time. Mr. Green had his hand
bandaged, and exhibited some bruises, but appeared, consider-
ing his narrow escape from a dreadful death, to be in good
spirits, although much fatigued with the exertion he had
undergone in liberating himself from the balloon, his endea-
vouring to secure it and his instruments, and the distance he
had to walk before he arrived at Gravesend, where he took
passage in the first steamer for London.
At the request of Mr. Green, Mr. Lewis took a chair by
his bedside and noted down the following particulars of his
perilous and disastrous trip :
" At the time I left the gardens the wind was blowing west
by south, consequently the balloon took a direction of almost
due east. The wind continued in the same quarter during the
whole of my voyage. I crossed the Surrey Zoological Gar-
dens, and then got away towards Greenwich, Charlton, and
Woolwich. The balloon then bore off across the river to the
opposite shore, in the direction of Purfleet. I could have then
effected a landing several times had the wind dropped, and had
I had assistance, but knowing that if I attemped a descent with
Each a boisterous gale, anti no help at hand, I should have
been carried on to the river. The balloon continued its course
till it arrived at Gravesend Reach. I kept at a very low alti-
tude; in fact, at times I was close to the shore, and near to
the water's edge. On arriving at a place, which I think is
marked in the map as Osterland, I endeavoured to descend, but
the balloon dragged along the land for at least three or four
miles, the wind still blowing with great violence from the west ;
the car at length got into a deep dyke, and I thought that I
should be enabled to empty it of the gas. I opened the valve
and then got out of the car, but no sooner had I set my foot on
the bank of the dyke, than I became entangled in the netting.
A gust of wind suddenly drove the balloon out of the ditch, and I
was dragged along the ground, till at length the car became se-
cured in another and deeper dyke, I endeavouring the whole of
the time to disengage myself from the netting. I for the first
time in my life now became alarmed for my safety. I thought
of my knife, and happily found it in my pocket. I then com-
menced cutting away with the greatest vigour, but from the
cordage being of peculiar fabric, I experienced the greatest
difficulty in liberating myself. The oscillation of the balloon
now became frightful, but I held on it firmly, well knowing,
from the escape of gas, that its ascending power was gone, and
that it could only drift by the wind. At length, becoming
exhausted, I let go my hold, and the balloon went away, car,
grapnel, barometer, and my other meterological instruments,
apparently in the direction of Queenborough. It was very
dark at the time, but I could distinctly discern the balloon make
three or four halts before it became invisible. I then made my
way along the banks of the river towards Gravesend without
meeting a soul or finding a house open, a distance from the spot
where I left the balloon of at least 18 or 20 miles. I arrived
at Gravesend about half-past six o'clock, and, to prevent being
annoyed by the questions of strangers, I preserved a strict
incognito. I shall, however, visit Vauxhall Gardens to-mor-
row (Friday) evening, to receive the congratulations of my
friends."

THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT IN GERMANY.—A few
days since, Czerski, one of the leaders of the great church
movement now in activity in Germany, preached at Posen
before a numerous congregation of Reformers. A grand
Roman Catholic procession was formed during the day, as a
great demonstration in favour of the existing order of things.
In the afternoon serious riots took place between the friends
of the Pope and the adherents of Czerski, and it was at
length deemed necessary to call out the military. The Bishop
of Posen has since thought it expedient to publish an excul-
patory declaration, in which he states that he did not consent
to the procession until repeated solicitations on the part of the
Roman Catholics. The new church is making rapid strides.
At Magdeburgh a church has been consecrated for the especial
use of the community, arid at Leipsic the meetings of the Re-
formers are so numerously attended that it has at length been
determined to hold them in the open air.
Loss OF THE BRIG MARY, NORTH SHIELDS.—On
Sunday morning last part of the crew of the Mary, of North
Shields, consisting of the captain (Mr. Greaves), the first and
the second mates, and three boys, arrived at North Shield., by
the Vesta steamer, from Leith. They report the loss of their
vessel, bound from Quebec, with timber, on the 16th of July,
off the banks of Newfoundland, in lat. 46 8 N., long. 38
30 W., in consequence of a collision with the ship New York
Packet, bound from Grenock to Quebec, with passengers. The
accident occurred at midnight, after the mate's watch had gone
below. The New York Packet struck the Mary abaft the
starboard fore chains, cutting her down to the water's edge ;
upon which the crew of the latter vessel jumped on board the
former, in expectation of their ship going down. On the fol-
lowing day, observing their vessel not much injured, the crew
of the Mary returned, and remained on board two days, after
which it was found necessary to abandon the ship, in conse-
quence of her shattered condition. The crew were then rescued
by the brig Norval, and landed at St. John's. At the time of
the accident the weather was very thick, and a strong gale of
wind blowing.— Tyne Mercury.
ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPIL—The
answer to inquiries in Portland-place, on Thursday morning, was
that his Lordship was not worse, but remained much in the
same state as on Wednesday. The Right Reverend Prelate,
we regret to hear, is labouring under an attack of erysipelas,
but no immediate danger is apprehended.
A cemetery is about to be formed at Dudley, in
Wolverhampton-street, Worcester. The ground, comprising
part of the fields and gardens between there and the Cas.le
bounds, in extent about ten acres, with a frontage of 100 yards
to the main street, is given by Lord Ward.

NAVA
.fit inteDAv.-Tha Aigle, 31, Captaln Led
Clarence Paget, arrived last evening from the Mediterranean
station, twenty-one days from Gibraltar, bringing invalids
from the squadron. She left at Ciibraltar the Fitntome, 16,
Commander Sir F. Nicholson ; the flamer steam-sloop, Lieu-
tenant-Commander Postle , and the Spitfire steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Macdonald. Lord Pa-zet landed last
evening with his dispatches. The Aigle is ordered round to
the eastward to be paid off, having been four years in commis-
sion. She sailed this afternoon for Chatham. She had not
sees the experimental squadron.

The Centaur steam-frigate, huildiag, from the design of
Sir W. Symond3, Surveyor of the :Nay', at this dockyard, it
nearly ready to leave the slip. _ . _

The Scourge, another steamer by the Surveyor, is being
fitted with a 13-inch mortar abaft. This ve•s,-1 has never been
tried with the usual armament of guns, which we believe, if
mounted, would be useless ; without, however, enleavouring
to ascertain what weight of armament is adapted to her cap-
bilities, her constructor is having her fitted for a 13-ineh
mortar; this will displace three guns, and entirely fill up the
wardroom

The trial of P,Tter's anchors against the A,imiralty anchor is
being proceeded with at Spithead, under the superintendence of
Captain Moilbray, cf the Victory, Commander Wdentc, of the
Victory, and Mr. Charles Brown, Assistant-Master-Attendant
of the dockyard. The trial w• 11 last sore dais, the weather of
late having been very unfalourahle.
The Columbine yacht, the property of Mr. Smith Barry, in
coming into harbour on the 6th in t., ran down a wherry con-
taining eight persons, including Charles Carr, the waterman
and owner of the Liar. All were immersed in the water, but
were rescued from a watery grave by the prompt:hide of the
hands on board ihe yacht and boats sent to their aisistmcc.
Carr, from his long imm-rsion in the water, Y% as xhausted
when taken out, and confined to his bed after the accident unti
Monday last, when he died. An inquest was held yesterday
before the borough cnroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death
was returned. In the evidence it was proved that every atten-
tion which humanity could dictate was paid to the suff.Ters by
Mr. Smith Barry, who has behaved in a most liberal and
hand-
some manner towards the widow of Carr and the other persons
icjur...d by the accident.

DEvoNroaT.—The Avenger scam-fr;gate, undocked on
Monday, will proceed to-day in charge of Mr. Elei,derson, As-
sistant-Master-Attendant of this d cAyard, to the river, to
have her engines and machinery fitted. An inspector and ten
shipwrights in her to execute the shipwright-work con-
nected with fitting the engines, &c.
The Calliope, Captain Stanley, which sailed on Mon-
day, will proceed first to the Cape of Good Hope, thence to
Auckland, New Zealand, and thence (should her service: not
he required at New Zealand) to Hong-Kong, to join the squa-
dron under Rear-Admiral Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief.

The Jackall, iron steamer, has been again br.iught into har-
bour, to undergo further alteration. Her masts and yards are
to be reduced, and the paddle-boards to he " reefed," her last
trial trip having exhibited the exisedieney of such alterations.
In Harbour—The Caledonia, Bloodhound, Jacl:all, and Cen-
fiance, steamers; Netley and Sylph, tenders; and the Camel,
Tortoise, Sinbad, and Falmouth, navy lighters.
Mr. William Bulford, layer and acting foreman of rope-
makers in this dockyard, is appointed foreman of ropemakers in
Portsmouth dockyard, vice Parsons, deceased.
Woomicri, Ana. 21.—The Lightning steam-vessel, Mr.
Petley, Master-Commander, has been placed under orders to
be held in readiness to embark the Dowager Lady Grey,
at Woolwich, on Saturday, the 23d instant, for a passage
to Ostend.

The Grampus, 50 guns, was taken out of the dock yesterday,
and brought round to the basin to h ire her masts put in, and -
made ready for sea. This vessel was built in 1784, and yet is
the admiration of all the naval officers who have seen her since
she was razeed from a74to a 59-gun ship. A highly quali-
fied and experienced naval officer stated that he would prefer
her under her present form to any modern vessel in the navy,
at she sits beautifully on the water, and his ample room to work
her guns on the broadsides as well as fore and aft. Her stern is
rounded, and very handsome, and on the lower deck has four
portholes for guns of large calibre. Mr. Lang, master-ship-
buil ler, has introduced a great improvement in the form of
the porthole coverings on her broadsides, by making them
in two pieces instead of one, which renders them
equally strong, although only half the usual weight.
when it is requisite to move them. The Grampus, when
finished as a5O gun frigate, will possess every quality, in the
opinion of qualified judges, that is requisite in a man-of-war,
without any of the doubtful qualities which hare recently been
the subject of so much discussion.
The Gladiator new steam-frigate, built at Woolwich, has
had her engines put on beard at the East India D)cks, and was
towed down the river by the Monkey steam-vessel on Tuesday
to Woolwich, where she was taken into the basin, and will be
ready for commission in a few weeks.
The Baretto, jun., transport-ship, having arrived from ac-
companying the Arctic expedition sooner than was expected,
has been placed under orders to convey the two companies of
Royal Artillery under orders for North America to their desti-
nation at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Dee steam-vessel, Master-Commander Driver, when
ready for sea will be employed on some other duty.
By letters from Quebec, it appears that the Apollo troop-
ship, Commander Radcliffe, had embarked the two companies
of Royal Artillery ordered home from North America, and
sailed on the 28th of July for England. Several invalids are
also on board the Apollo, and she is now daily expected in the
river to di•embark the companies of the Royal Artillery at
their head-quarters at Woolwich.

TRIAL OF CAPTAIN MANBY'3
MORTAR.

On Saturday afternoon several experiments of Capt. Manby's
mortar took placi, at Yarmouth. Mons. C. P. Claudi, the
superintendent of the coat guard in Denmark, having been
deputed by the Danish Government to visit England and to
communicate with the British Government, with a view to
adopt some means for the prevention of the loss of life which
frequently occurs to a frightful extent on the rocky and dan-
gerous western cost of Z:tlarid, the Government referred the
Hon. Gentleman to Captain Jerningham. inspecting comman-
der of the coast guard, as being able to afford the most efficient
display, not merely of the machinery, Lut of the tact and
talent of a body of men by whom the app luaus is movt effec-
tively brought into play. Havirg iiispe:teti and Brea ly ad-
mired the life-boats, Captain .lerniegham w 35 desirous of show-
ing Mons. Claudi the manner in which the mortar and rocket
were used, and the readiness and method with which they were
handled. The mortars and rocket apparatus having been
brought to the water side, and Captain Jerningham, assisted
by Lieutenant Dighy. 11. N , and accompanied by Mons.
Claudi, having at rived, pests were driven into the
sand so as to form a small square. within which none
but those concerned in the experiments were allowed
to enter. The wind blew a stiff breeze from the N.V., and
Captain Jerningbam fixed upon the space between a schocner
lying in the offing and a buoy, both of which were nearly
within range. The first experiment was with the large brass
mortar, a piece weighing 1 cwt. I qr. 121 b., and of a calibre to
carry 281 b. shot. Ibis being placed at an elevation of 33
degrees, was charged with 10 ounces of powder ; the shot was
attached to a line of inch size, and weighing lttlb. the 100
yards. On the piece being fired, the shot flew straight for the
direction in which it was aimed, falling beyond the buoy and
to leeward of the schooner, taking the line out of a range of
240 yards. The second trial was made with the old mortar, a
large iron piece of greater weight and calibre than the brass
piece. The charge was 16 ounces of powder, the elevation 33
degrees, and the shot and line the same as in the first fire.
Unfortunately the line snapped at about 8 or 10 fathoms, and
the shot flew an immense distance. Lieut. Digby said it had
been complained that the iron mortar invariably broke her
line. The third experiment was with the brass mortar, at an
elevation of 36 degrees, with the same charge as before, and
the same weight of shot and lime, which she carried with the
same precision as at first. The lairth and fifth experiments
were by firing in a northerly direction along the beach, when
the brass mortar carried the line nut about 2:0 yards. The
iron mortar again broke the line, and discharged the line to a
considerable distance, it falling on a hill not far from Caistor.
There was a desire to have tried the rockets, but the wind
blowing rather hard, and there being a great many people
scattered about the Denes, it was thought inexpedient. M.
Claudi, who took great interest in the proceedings, and made
notes of every ;point connected with the experiments, ex-
pressed himself much gratified with the opportunity which had
been afforded him of witnessing the trial of Captain Manby's
apparatus. Those who take an interest in this venerable
philanthropist will he glad to learn that, though eighty years
of age, he is still living m the enjoyment of tolerable health at
Southtown, and frequently visits Yarmouth.

BOROITGII AND WATCH RATFS.—An Act was
passed on the Bth ult, for the better collecting borough and
watch rates. By the Munical Corporations Act, authority was
given to the councils of boroughs in certain cases to levy
borough rates, and also watch rates ; but it seems that the
powers given have been found insufficient for the purpose. It
is now provided that overseers for parts of parishes and places
within boroughs may raise district rates, which are to be allowed
and published. There is authority given to recover the rates so
made, and persons on account of their poverty may be excused
from payment.

DISCOVERY OF AN INFANT IN HYDE PARK.-
Thursday morning, soon after five o'clock, as some workmen
were proceeding to their employment across Hyde Park, near
the magazine barracks, their attention was drawn to the faint
cries apparently of an infant. They proceeded in the direction
whence the cries arose, when at the fort of a tree they die•
covered a basket, partly sewed up; and in it was a fine male
infant, apparently not more than a fortnight or three weeks
old, wrapped up in flannel. The men conveyed the child to
the workhouse.

The disposal of the deanery of Worcester, which
will become vacant at Christmas next, when its present v
scssor, the Bishop of Rochester, removes to his new see, is
now a canvassed question. It has been generally assigned to
the Rev. John Peel, Canon of Canterbury, and brother of the
Premier, and it is also stated that it has already been offered
to the Rev. Gentleman, but that he declined accepting it.—
Cheltenham Examiner.

A DAUGHTER SHOT BY HER FATHER.—Wednesday
evening, a few minutes before ten, the neighbourhood of
Bream's-buildings was thrown into considerable alarm in con-
sequence of a report that a working man had shot his daughter.
It appeared that Shane, a gunsmith, had called upon a person
of the name of Farlarie, of Hatfield-court, and during his ab-
sence had left with the wife three gun-stocks, a fowling-piece,
and a pair of pistols in a case. Whets the husband returned
home he commenced examining the articles, when his eldest
daughter, Maria, in her 17th year, took up the piece, and jo.
cosely presented it at her father, who at the same moment took
up the pistol, and presenting it at her drew the trigg,,r, when,
to his horror, he discovered that it was charged. The poor
girl immediately fell, the contents having entered her right
arm. A medical gentleman was called in, and by his orders'
she was conveyed to the hospital. O❑ examining the other
pistol it was also found to be loaded.
The Prince de Berghes has appealed to the Court
of Cassation against the sentence just passed upon him by th*
Court of Assizes on the trial of the indictment for forgery and
issuing false counters of the Jockey Club.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Thursday afternoon, Mr.
Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the breeknock Arms Ta-
vern, Camden-town, on the body of Mr. H. T. Bromley, aged
29, the landlord of that establishment, who was killed by a fa!:
from his horse, when returning on Tuesday night from ea*

‘• It. is. I repeat, melancholy to think that several
repectable Orangemen of Enniskillen should have under-
stoed their (yen partisans so well as to be apprehensive
lest Mr. Steele should be assassinated by some of the
body, though his object in going to Enniskillen was known
to be nothing else than to assist in preventing the Ca-
tholics from impeding or in any wise interfering with
the Orange exhibition.
" It is quite clear that no person could entertain the
slightest apprehension that any Orangemen would be
killed, or even in-eilt-d or maltreated in any respect, for
attending at a repeal meeting ; on the contrary, as
Orangeman would be received on the platform of a re-
peal meeting with courtesy and civility, and would be as
safe there as if he were in his own dwelling-house, in
the midst of Fermanagh.
" I do strongly submit the suggestion to the consider-
atioa of- the Association, that another address to the
people of Ulster should he prepared ; that the contrast
between the peaceable monster meetings of the Re-
peaters and the unhappy results of the Orange exhibi-
tions should be put forward in the least offensive man-
ner, but in a manner calculated to win the attention of
the considerate and respectable portion of the Orange
confederacy. They should be assured that there is no
matter in difference between the Catholics and Pro-
testants. It should be shown to them that repeal is as
much a Protestant as it is a Catholic question ; this is
to sty, that it is essentially Irish. It should be pointed
out to them that religious ascendancy is at an end —it
having been, even by the present Goiernment, aban-
doned, not only in words bat by some very unequivocal
actions.
It is quite true that these addresses to the men of
Ukter may for a time produce little public effect ; but
we are essentially in the right in looking for the
reetered nationality of Ireland, and they are so essen-
tially in the wrong in fomenting unavailing end mis-
chievoes religious dissension, that it is to be hoped that
sooner or later common sense and patriotism will pre-
vail, and induce all parties amongst Irishmen to combine,
in order to procure for Ireland the protection of her do-
rne3tic legislature.
"To return to the registry. The county of Tippe-
:e said, requires some exertion to place it in a
satisfactory state. There is, however, one great conso-
lation, that we have two excellent Members for the
county—there couid not be better found. There is no
truer repealer nor better Irishman living, than my loved
fried(' Nicholas Maher. The junior Member, Mr. Fitz-
gerald, is t !y a geetteman of fortune,femily, and talent,
but also a trio it sincere patriot and ardent repealer. Both
have m n'e :hen once occupied the chair of Conciliation
Hell. The association has every possible motive to in-
fluence its best exertions to place the registry on the
met triumphant footing. This can be easily done, and

What a pity it is th.i.t he. being so desirable a represen-

This is ut lelst quite certain, that when ti-+e Cork
repo piers part From so aficiant and patriotic a weather
as Sergeant Murphy, merely because he is not a re-
pealer, it is essemally necessary, in point of consistency,
that the repeaters in all other consti.uencies should pe-
remptorily reject their present Whig representatives,
and substitute unequivocal repeaters. Let not the Whigs
lay the flattering unction t,.) their souls, that this rule of
electing repeaters only will be relaxed in the slightest
degree. After the rejection of Sergeant Murphy, it
really cannot be relaxed ; and I have no hesitation in
saying that, after that rejection, it will be infinitely bet-
ter for the repeaters, and more consistent with honour-

able feeling, to permit a Tory to be returned rather than
a Whig non-repealer. After all, repeaters have now no
controversy with Tories. The Whigs are rather the
bitterer enemies of the two. I declare distinctly, I have
no preferedoe for a Whig over a Tory, and this senti-
ment of mine will, I am sure, be prevalent in every re-
peal constituency at the next election.
Let me come back to the registry. Register ! Re-
gister I Register ! Remember we shall be able to
carry the repel if we have seventy Memb ,rs in the next
Parliament—seventy Members, backed by eight mil-
lions of a loyal, dutiful, peaceable, but determined
people.
" Need I say anything to excite the Repeaters of Dub-
lin ? I appeal to the repeal wardens in each of the
wards. I appeal to the aldermen and town councillors
—to the candidates for the office of town councillors—

to the popular poor-law guardians—to everybody who
can influence a sin4le elector. It w.,uld be a noble blow
if we were able to recover the city of Dublin from the
non-resilont freeinim who are non. Repealers. Register,
I say, reg.i3t,r, and then—Hurrah for the Repeal.
" I 3 lkve tue to be very faithfully yours,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."
Joan O'CONNELL, M.P., urged upon the Re-
peaters an immediate attention to the registry. It should
form the paramount object of their exertions, and he
even wisllA it to take precedence of the collection of the
repeal rent, bn: it would be mast desirable that both
sh Ki;d prot!,ced par/ p.asts.

Mr. STEEL F: hanng catered into some explanations
with re4ard to his appearance in Enniskillen when the

law Orange dem ,niteation was being held, urged on the
Government the inlnediate abolition of the oath which

declared the Rrnzn Catholic religion to be damnable
and idolatrous. To the continuance of that oath he
a•tribut(d the dissensions which existed between the
rrot.r!stants and Catholics.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Association was held this
day ; Mr. Law in the chair.
The followilig letter from Mr. O'Connell, addressed
to the Secretary of the Association, was read :
" Darrynane Abbey, Aug. 14, 1845.
"My dear Ray,—l see that I have been misunder-
stood. It has been supposed that in my project for
working out the registration of the repeal voters, I in-
tended to suggest the appointment of two additional re-
peal wardens for that particular purpose—even in parishes
in which there were already that number or more.
"I expressed myself badly when I spoke of two repeal
wardens for each parish. I should have said for each
parish in wnich there are not already at least that
number.'

" My plan, therefore, is to work out the registration
with the present repeal wardens in every parish in
which there are such, and to have at least two appointed
for every pariah in which there are none at present, so
as if possible to have at least two repeal wardens in every
parish in the island.
" You will thus see that it was not my intention to
supersede any of the present repeal wardens. Indeed I
should be exceedingly sorry if I were thought capable of
showing any disrespect to the existing repeal wardens,
I am too grateful to them for their exertions to offer.
them any slight.
"_We owe the progress we have made to the zealous
virtue of the wardens. The fact is, that the repeal cause
is indebted for the magnitude and efficiency of its present
position to the patriotic and disinterested services of the
repeal wardens. The proof of the interest which the
people take in the repeal cause, is placed beyond doubt
by the amount of the weekly repeal rent coming by and
through the repeal wardens. The exertions which they
make to preserve the peace and prevent the violation of
the law in any respect, enhance their merits beyond the
power of any eulogium of mine. The time is not distant
when, after achieving the repeal, men will boast with
pride and exultation of the exertions they have made
as repeal wardens to revive the nationality of Ireland.
"This subject would be alone sufficient to induce me to
address the Association again. But I have the still more
powerful motive of again and again pressing upon the
i.Assoei,';on she necessity of organising the registry of
voters id every county and borough in Ireland. We
must not relak our effzts for one moment to secure at
least seventy Conciliation-hall Repealers for the next
Parliament. Another session such as the last would so
bundle up Whigs and Tories as to put a total end to the
distinction between them. New parties will have to be
formed, probably under new denominations. If we have
at such a period but seventy staunch Repealers to turn
the scale, no ministry can be formed strong enough to
postpone the discussion of the terms on which to found
the restoration of the Irish Parliament.
" It is impossible to contemplate steadily the events by
which we are surrounded, without the conviction being
foreed on the trend of every rational man, that the peo-
ple .1f Ireland have it in their power to gain the restora-
t ors of their domestic Legislature. All that is necessary
is., to make. use of and exert the constitutional means
oar reach achieve that measure. Organisation,
