REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, JULY 7.—The weckly meeting of the Association,
which took place to-day, was greatly crowded. Mr. O'Connell,
accompan;ed by several of the leading members of the body, was
present, and upon his entrance was loudly cheered. Mr. M.
O'Connell, M.P., presided.

Mr. DAVIS moved the adoption of a draught of a petition to be
extensively- distributed its Ulster for the purpose of obtaining
signatures to it, praying the House of Commons not to pass any
Bill touching the tenantry of Ireland, without enacting therein a
clause recognising, and saving whole the custom commonly called
" the tenant-right of Ulster."

Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the motion, and denounced any at-
tempt to interfere with the existing tenant-right as a scheme of
robbery by the landlords. He pledged himself to make every
exertion in his power not only to preserve the present tenant-right
for the people of Ulster, but to extend it to every other part of
Ireland.

The petition having been adopted,
Mr. O'CONNELL again rose, and said that he had a few observa-
tions to make on the subject of his recent mission to England. He
denied that he had ever made any declaration of total absence from
his Parliamentary duties, as was asserted by some of the English
journals. What he had said was, that he should not go over unless
for the purpose of endeavouring to effect some good or to avert
some evil. He was also reported to have declared himself favour.
able to mixed education, and to have given an opinion to the effect
that the political part of the New Colleges Bill would do no harm
to Ireland. Now, both these reports were utterly untrue. As to
Mr. Roebuck, he had been complaisant enough not to attack him
(Mr. O'Connell) since he went over to London. Now in truth he
cared as little for his abuse as for the barking of a cur-dog, and he
begged pardon of the four.footed animal for the comparison.--
(Laughter.) That was all he had to say about little Roebuck, and he
would next call attention to the present posture of affairs. The
Hon. Gentleman then recounted the steps which he and Mr. S.
O'Brien took in the House of Commons in opposition to the New
Banking and Colleges Bills, and stated his objections in extenso
to the latter measure, denouncing it as penal, restrictive, and
having a tendency to corrupt the youth of the country. He in-
culcated the necessity of conciliating persons of all political opinions,
and earnestly condemned the system of Ribandism and Molly
Maguireism, which is spreading through the country. He adverted
to the recent fatal collision between the police and the country
people in the county of Cork, where thirteen " innocent" persons
lost their lives, and held it up as a warning to all to abstain from
outrage and violence. The loss of life on that occasion had taken
place in consequence of the manlier in which the police were armed.
In his opinion, the Government was wrong to send out the police
on every occasion with deadly weapons in their hands. Ile also
alluded to the assassination of Mr. Booth, and called upon wretches
like his murderer to recollect that the red ann of God's vengeance
was raised against them, and that, if their crime was unrepented,
their final doom was as certain as it was horrible to contemplae. He
concluded by calling on the repeal wardens to rally with him for
tranquillity, old Ireland, and the repeal.
A resolution was adopted, to the effectthat the Rev. T. Maguire's
speech at the Cavan meeting of magistrates should be printed and
circulated in Cavan and the adjoining counties.
Mr. 11. GRATTAN and Mr. .T. O'CONNELL addressed the meeting
at great length against the New Education Bill.

The week's rent was stated to amount to 407!. 7s.
