MR. O'CONNELL.

We have to-day seen a letter from Derrynane Abbey,
dated on Friday evening. Mr. O'Connell never was in
better health. His pack of beagles are in prime condi-
tion. The Hun. and Learned Gentleman hunted them
on Thursday, amidst his native hills, and enjoyed a fine
day's sport.

BALLINASLOE FAIR
The sheep fair closes on Saturday. Wedders were
slightly reduced, but ewes maintsined the advance of the
previous day, from 3s. to 4s. per head. The entire
number of sheep sold on Friday and Saturday was
61,859. The number sold was 8,145. Total, 70,404.
Altogether, the sheep fair was a remunerating one to the
breeders. The black cattle fair commenced this day. A
reduction of prices is anticipated.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held
this day in the Conciliation Hall. The Hon. G. H.
Hutchinson in the chair.

The HoN. GENTLEMAN briefly addressed the meeting,
dwelling on the absolute necessity there existed for car-
rying on the registry with vigour at the approaching
sessions. It would be, he considered, of the utmost im-
portant that the Irish people should be in such a position
as would enable them to return, at the next general elec-
tion such a number of Repealers as would give weight
to their party in the House of Commons.
Mr. CREAN read the minutes of the last day's pro-
ceedings,

Mr.vMAURICE O'CONNELL commenced the proceed.
ings of the day by saying that his letters from
Derrynane stated that the Liberator was in the
enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. His
father had informed him that he had intended to
have written to the Association last week, but
he had not been able to get his letter ready in time for
post ; they would, however, have a long letter from him
next week.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then an-
nounced the receipt of several remittances ; amongst
them 12/. from New Brunswick, 141. from Glasgow, and
51. from the Isle of Man, from the Rev. Mr. Magrath. In
reference to the last remittance, he remarked that the
bad laws which had been exterminated from every part
of the British dominions, seemed to have found shelter
in the Isle of Man, for at that moment there were to be
found on the statute books of that island penal laws of
the most stringent nature against Roman Catholics. One
of those enactments to which he referred imposed the
penalty of transportation from the island on any Catholic
priest who dared, in the exercise of his ministry, to per-
form the ceremony of marriage.—(Hear, hear.) He,
therefore, considered that the Rev. Gentleman in ques-
tion was entitled to their warmest acknowledgments for
.the zeal he had shown on behalf of his country, as he
thereby incurred the risk of calling down these penalties
on him.

Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT handed in 151. from Clonmel. 501.
from Ennis, with several other sums, and read various
letters which accompanied the remittances.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL handed in his usual weekly
contributions from the London wards, and stated that
the sum of 1,8601. had been subscribed by the Repealers
of that city for the present year. The Hon. Gentleman
then addressed the meeting on the usual topics in his
accustomed strain, and on concluding was loudly cheered.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL, in moving a vote of thanks t..
the Learned Gentleman who conducted gratuitously the
late registry in the city of Dublin, on behalf of the re-
pealers, stated that it was the intention of the Associa-
tion to carry on the registry with vigour in all parts of
the country through the agency of the repeal wardens ;
and he had not the slightest doubt but their ultimate
hopes would be crowned with success. _ _

Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT seconded the motion, and then
proceeded at considerable length to review the prospects
of this country and its relations with England. He con-
tended that Sir Robert Peel would attempt to carry out
the principle of divide et impera, which hal been always
acted upon in this country, but he thanked God the
popular party were too powerful to allow him to do so.
The people of Ireland had set their hearts on a domestic
legislature, and were determined to have it. They knew
that without an independent Parliament English inter-
ests would necessarily predominate in the country.
Captain Broderick, Mr. Langley (barrister), and Mr.
Grattan, M.P., severally addressed the meeting.
At the termination of the proceedingi; Mr. M. O'CoN-
NELL announced the rent for the week to'be 6301. lls. 10d.
CHAS. BIANCONL Esq.. was then called to the chair,
and the usual vote of thanks having been passed to the
former chairman, the meeting adjourned.

A HUNTSMAN'S ADVENTURES.—A couple of goblets,
worth 501., with 251. in addition, were last week pre-
sented to " Will Long," the celebrated huntsman to the
Duke of Beaufort, at a dinner at Petty France, by a
number of gentlemen in the habit of joining the Bad-
minton hounds. In returning thanks for his health
having been drunk, Long said—" For thirty-six years I
have been connected with the noble pack of hounds be-
longing to his Grace, and I amused myself the other
day in making some calculations on the subject. The
result is that, during the years mentioned. I have ridden
100,000 miles.—(Cheers.) The number of leaps and
hair-breadth escapes I have had are beyond calculation.
—(Laughter.) I have been in at the death of 3,000 foxes.
But, gentlemen, this is not all. I have a favourite old
horse, which you all know well—he is now twenty-five
years of age—who has carried me seventeen seasons,
and over a distance of 12,000 miles and more ; and
though he is now, like myself, somewhat the worse for
wear, he was all right last season, and those that kept
his company did not lose much of the fun."—British
Mercury.

SIR -JAMES GRAHAM AND SUNDAY TRADING.—
From our report of the last meeting of the Sheffield
Town Council, our readers are aware that Sir James
Graham objected to several of the bye-laws passed
by the Council, and submitted to the Home Secre-
tary for her Majesty's approval. Amongst the
rest, the one referring to Sunday trading was
rejected, in consequence of which memorials were
forwarded from the officers of the Wesleyan
and Congregational Sunday School Union, praying
the Right lion. Secretary to confirm the decision of
the Town Council. The following is Sir J. Graham's
reply :—Whitehall, 17th September, 1844.—Sir, I am
directed by Secretary Sir James Graham, to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th instant, en-
closing a memorial from the officers of the Wesleyan and
Congregational Sabbath School Unions in the borough
of Sheffield, on the subject of Sunday trading within the
borough ; and I am to inform you, that Sir J. Graham
has felt it his duty to object to the bye, law proposed by
the Town Council of Sheffield on this subject, as the
existing law is sufficient to prevent the practice corn-
plaine4 of, and renders the enactment of local regulations
unnecessary.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
H. MANNERS SUTTON.
To Alderman G. Turton. —Sheffield Iris.
Mr. W. Scott's Derby colt Alaric is reported to
have died yesterday.

" It has appeared that in the Lower Elbe, beta'
the Asseler Sand and the Black Buoy Sand, a chairael

it is but of moderate breadth, so as not to admit of ti!c
ing with larger vessels, • has at low water a dept!aie;
8 feet, which will, at westerly winds and at flood tie
give a depth of 17 to 18 fet, so that ships wich lira
no more than 12 to 14 feete water can sail up this channel
with S.W. and S.W. winds.
" In order to W.
mark this channel more distinctly• t_ehde
