ACCIDENT TO THE EARL OF DES-
BOROUGH.

DUBLIN, Ocr. 28.

The Earl of Besborough met with a serious acci-
dent on Saturday last. The particulars are given in
the following letter:—

" Carrick-on-Suir, Oct. 27.
" With feelings of the greatest regret I have to
inform you that the Earl of Besborough met with an
accident yesterday, which was very near being
attended with the most serious consequences. His
Lordship was riding out of the court-yard, in front
of the house at Besborough, when his horse tripped,
fell, and rolled over him. Dr. Purcell was imme-

diately sent for, and on examination it was found that
his Lordship had sustained a very severe contusion in
the hip joint, and I regret to add, that up to this time
the pain produced by the injury continues unabated.
" As soon as the accident became known, the most
intense anxiety was felt in this town, where his Lord-
ship is most justly esteemed by persons of every creed
and party ; indeed, to use the words of a gentleman at
the late dinner of the Iverk Farming Society, There
is scarcely an individual in Carrick who does not feel
himself almost under a personal obligation to his
Lordship, for the cordial and persevering assistance
he has always given to everything likely to advance
the prosperity of their town.'
" But the feelings of respect and esteem enter-
tained for his Lordship are not confined to this loca-
lity, for I am well aware that there is not a nobleman

.n-Ireland more generally revered than Lord Besbo-

rough ; and 1 sincerely hope, therefore, in my next
communication to be able to report, for the gratifica-

tion of the public in neral, a considerable improve-
ment in his Lordship's condition."

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The usual weekly meeting of the Association was
held this day in the Conciliation Hall. The chair was
taken by J. 1.. Arabin, Esq., Lord Mayor elect.
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in 41. from

Preston, England, and then brought under the con-
sideration of the Association the conduct of certain

repeal wardens in London, who had entered a meet-
ing held in that City in a state of intoxication, and
when requested by their fellow-wardens to retire,
behaved in a most unbecoming manner. It would be,
he said, inconsistent with the rules of the Association
to allow such a gross breach of discipline to pass un-
noticed. He, therefore, felt it his duty to move that
the names of the wardens in question be struck off the
books of the Association.

Mr. CLEMENTS seconded the motion, and stated
hat the Committee, after a patient and searching in-

vestigation into the facts of the ease, came to the

unanimous conclusion that the individuals referred to

merited expulsion from the Society.
Captain BRODERICK, after handing in several re-
mittances, announced that the returns from the regis-
tries had been most satisfactory ; and he considered
that if the people followed up the blow which had
been so happily struck, they would be in a position at
the next general election to return such a number of
repeal Members as would give a preponderating in-
fluence to their party in the House of Commons. He

considered any man' that neglected to register as an
enemy to his country. Catholic Emancipation was
the result of the Clare election, and that fact ought to
prove to the people the necessity for exertion. If'
they were able to return a band of determined men to
Parliament, it would most unquestionably give an

irresistible impulse to their cause.
The Hon. Mr. HUTCHINSON handed in 151. from

Liscarroll, county Cork, and read a communication
which accompanied the remittance. The letter called
on the aristocracy " to take the places of honour in
the patriotic agitation which was being carried on for
the restoration of the nationality of their native
country ; if they did so they would receive the warm-
hearted blessings of the people at large, and entitle
themselves to the everlasting gratitude of a generous
nation." He (Mr. II.) would re-echo the sentiments
contained in the letter he had just read to the meeting.
He would ask the aristocracy, were they English
or Irish—were they fish or flesh ? Now was the time
for them to be up and stirring.—(Hear, hear.) He
would call emphatically on them to consideri seriously
the actual condition of the country, and what might
result from its continuance in that state. England, he
was aware, was smiling at the puny efforts of these
gentlemen to shake off their foolish prejudices. Such
he knew were the private sentiments of every English
man, but he knew they dared not give utterance to
them in public. What did the objection of the aris
tocracy to join them amount to? Why, this, "We
hold your opinions, but yet we cannot follow them."
He regretted that the state of his health would oblige
him to winter in France, and he could assure the
meeting that it was to him a source of bitter morti-
fication to leave the country at this peculiar juncture.
Although, however, he would not be present propria
persona, he would be in spirit, and he trusted that
every letter he read from Ireland would give him
assurance of the perseverance and untiring exertions
of the Irish people in their present glorious career.—
(Loud cheers.) Under the leadership of Mr. O'Con-
nell they had nothing to fear. Having every confi-
dence in his wisdom and discretion, he would caution
his countrymen against being led away by any side-
winded doctrines which might be propounded to them.
He would be wanting in courtesy if he departed with-
out tendering to the Association his unfeigned grati-
s tude for the kindness they had shown him since his
accession to their ranks. _ _ _

The Hon. Gentleman on resuming his seat was
most enthusiastically cheered. •
Mr. M. O'CoNNELL was sure every Irishman
would sympathise with him on the reason that de-
prived them of the services of Mr. Hutchinson. Ills
generous and disinterested zeal was beyond all praise,
and any commendations from him would only detract
from his real merit. His career, it was true, was
short, but it had been brilliant, and was such as would
entitle him to the lasting gratitude of his country-
men. They would fondly anticipate his return in
renewed health to witness the triumph of that cause
of which he was so distinguished a supporter.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers.) In conclusion he moved that the
most marked thanks of the Association be tendered to

the Hon. G. H. Hutchinson, for his exertions in the
cause of the country.
Capt. BRODERICK seconded the motion, which passed
with acclamation.
The llon. Mr. HUTCHINSON returned thanks for
the distinguished compliment which had been paid
him, and assured the meeting that his body and mind
were at the disposition of his country.—(Cheers.)
He felt that, in acting as he had, he was merely ful-
filling the dictates of his conscience, as he sincerely
believed that their cause was a religious and a chari-
table one.—(Hear, hear.) It was not from any vain
notion of courting popularity that he had acted as he
had, but solely for the purpose of serving his country,
and whenever they required his services he was ready
to respond to her call.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. M. O'CONNELL rose to bring under the notice
of the Association a communication he had received

from the Rer. D. Hearne, of Manchester, directing
attention to the spread of Ribbonism in that town.
The letter contained the following passage :—" I do
not know what to do with the repeal-room in Sal-
ford ; it is giving me more trouble than all the other
wards. The anecdote told in the Association by Mr.
W. J. O'Connell a few meetings back, of a Ribbon-
man being ducked in a pool of water in this town,
has no foundation in fact ; he must have dreamed it.
The other statement, that in consequence there
was not a Ribbonman in Manchester,' is equally in-
correct. I fear there are many, and among the re-
pealers, too. Indeed, I hare heard the name of one
who was about to go as a deputy to a meeting
of delegates (Ribbonmen), to .be held in the neigh-
bourhood of Belfast. I have been battling with
that society for the last nineteen years in this lo-
cality. I know no worse enemies of Ireland than the
Ribbonmen. They are, I am told, very strong in
Liverpool, under the name ' Hibernian Societies,'
'Friendly Brothers,' &c. The Association would be
doing no little good by sending over a commission to
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and the neighbour-
ing towns, to inquire into the existence and nature of
such societies. I believe the Ribbon infatuation in
Ireland to be principally kept up by sui,plies from
this country. I would lend all my assistance to such
a commission." Whilst on this subject, he (Mr.
O'Connell) would call the attention of the citizens of
Dublin to the fact that there were at this moment
emissaries going about seeking to entrap them into
becoming members of this nefarious system. He
held in his hand a satisfactory proof of the characters
of the demons to which he had alluded, and the class
to which they belonged. An individual, who repre-
sented himself as William Doyle, had been in the
custom of frequenting a certain public-house, and
there infusing his pernicious doctrines into the
minds of those who were so unfortunate as to
meet with him. One evening last week this
wretch, forgetting himself, he supposed, luckily
enough for the people, got drunk, and when leaving
the house he dropped that document. The Honour-
able Gentleman here exhibited to the meeting n
document, which appeared to be a certificate of the
admission of the individual in question as an Orange-
man, and bore date July 13, 1844. It was decorated
with orange and blue ribbons, and bore the signatures
of the grand master and deputy grand masterthofatthhee
lodge. It appeared that the person's name was
Philips, and not Doyle, as he stated ; and
came from the north of Ireland. The production of
the document created the greatest sensation. saetn son
