The followittr noblemen and gentlemen, subscribers to
and fleetlitenters of her Majesty's Theatre, anxious to
testify their sense of the ability, liberality, and judgment,
which have distinguished Mr. Lumley's tn.sritelhent of
that great establishnunt, nnd then' Sense of the courtesy
they have nlwttyS Oki:erienced at his hands, have re-
solved to present him with a memorial of those senti-
ments, and of their estimation of his successful exertions.
It is, therefore, proposed that a subscription should be
entered into, not exceeding two guineas each, and the
amount thereof to be applied to the purchase of a piece
of plate, recording the variety and combination of talent•
which by his exertions and skill have been brought before
the public.
" The following noblemen and gentlemen have already
tendered their names :—llis Excellency the Count de
St. Aulaire, his Excellency the Baron de Brunnow, his

" Subsriptions to be paid in to the Treasurer's account,
at Westminster Bank, St. James's-square ; or Messrs.
Strahan, bankers, 217, Strand."
Grateful as this testimonial must be to Mr. Lumley's
feelings, he has recently received another, which is per-
haps of even a more flattering nature, inasmuch as it is a
tribute not only to his excellence as a manager, but to
his kindness of heart as a man. His generosity to
artists is well known—not only are their salaries fixed
on the m.,st liberal scale, and paid with the utmost
punctuality, but he is in the habit of constantly making
them very valuable presents, and in moments of exigency
he has frequently rescued an artist from difficulti, s in the
most unexpected and generous manner. His great kindness
to Montassu, who was incapacitated from an accident
from pursuing his professional career during the course
of last season, will never be forgotton by those who ad-
mire and appreciate a generous action. The artistes of
the theatre, to show the sense they entertain of the kind
and generous treatment they have exp, rienced at his
hands, presented him last week with a magnificent silver-
gilt vase, bearing the following inscription :

" Ilommage
a Monsieur B. LUMLEY,
par les Artistes
du Theatre de sa Majeste
en commemoration de I'heureuse evenement
qui assure a ce theatre
la continuation de sa bienviellante
et juste administration.
18 1845."

These latter words explain the secret of Mr. Lum-
ley's good fortune. His ;.administration is bienviellante
and juste, and, therefore, is it successful.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS
NORTII OF IRELAND.—During the past week, there
have been some days of weather favourable for the com-
mencement of the early grain harvest, and advantage
has been taken of this by the farmers in a few places.
There have, however, been heavy rains, by which
weighty corn crops have been partially laid down, and
their ripening thus retarded. In the neighbourhood of
Belfast, particularly on the Downshire side, several fields
of barley have fallen before the sickle, and the yield,
both in grain and straw, is stated to be at least an ave-
rage. Very little winter-sown wheat is as yet ready fur
cutting ; but, in one or two very early districts, a few
patches have been reaped ; and the return of grain pro-
mises well. The last of the flax crop has been pulled ;
and the greater proportion of the season's produce is now
undergoing the process of grassing. The quantity of
fine flux is likely to prove 4reater than was at one time
anticipated. The growth of the potato plant progresses
as favourably as the mcst sanguine farmer could wish ;
and there is no doubt that this crop will far exceed in
quantity that of any year since 1840.—Banner of Ulster.
During the past and present week we have been over
several miles of the country in our neighbourhood, and
we can safely say that a few days of sunshine would
give us a crop unequalled even in the late plenteous
seasons. Everywhere—and more particularly in the
rich valley of the Ayr— the wheat and oats are very
heavy in the ear and long in the straw ; thus pro-
mising abundance for man and the inferior animals.
In the neighbourhood of Gadgirth and Enterkine
we observed several fields of wheat far advanced
in ripeness, and only waiting a glimpse of sunshine to
fit them for the sickle. Farther up the Ayr, to the
banks of the Lugar, oats are the prevailing crop ;
and though greener than in the lower lands, they are
also very heavy and abundant. Barley is generally
pretty far advanced ; but—sunshine ! sunshine ! As-
tonishingly little grain of any kind has been
laid by the rain. Beans have a very promising
appearance. In the potatoe crops we observed no
failures ; partial failures may have occurred, but so
far as we can judge, the root will be very plenteous.
The late wet weather has marred the finishing of
the hay harvest ; generally it is cut, but a consider-
able quantity lies upon the meadows waiting for
heat. In our immediate neighbourhood the crops wear
a very luxuriant appearance, though it will be some
time ere the sickle be in active operation. Friday and
Saturday last were brilliant days ; but the mornings
and evenings were exceedingly chill. In fact, the frost
on those mornings lay, in some places, quite white.
This visit of the rude northman was anything but
welcome. On Sunday the wind blew strong from the
south east, driving before it heavy and successive
showers. Yesterday the wind rounded to W.S.W , and
the sun shone strongly.—Ayr Observer.
On this increasingly important subject, we regret we
cannot report very favourably for the past week, rain
having fallen almost every day since our last publication.
The worst fears have consequently been entertained by
the farmer throughout the district, not so much because
of the injury already done to the crops, as on account of
the damage that may yet occur, should the protracted
wet weather continue much longer. The only day on
which no rain fell was Saturday, when considerable pro-
gress was made in securing the hay. In Yorkshire and
some of the southern counties, the crops are said to be
in a very fair condition, and appear to have suffered
little from the inclemency of the weather. This, we
believe, is also the case in Scotland and Ireland ; and
should the weather take a favourable turn, as we fondly
hope it will, we may yet have fully an average harvest.
—Tyne Mercury.
It would have been a matter of no ordinary gratifi-
cation to have recorded, this week, that the state of the
weather, upon which every thing now depends, had at
length assumed that settled and sun light character
whichlis essentially necessary to bring the forthcoming
crops of grain to a state of perfect maturity. Un-
happily, however, such is not the case. One day,
marked by a character of general brightness, has been
succeeded by one of almost incessant and extremely
heavy rain—at least, for the greater part of
the day. This was the case on Tuesday last, when
the showers descended literally in torrents, and
must, we fear, have occasioned much injuty in those
localities where the crops are flaggy and heavy upon the
ground. Even the occasional recurrence of a bright day
is succeeded by one of gloom and heaviness. We know
nothing of a uniform continuance of clear and cloudless
skies, and of that high and also uniform state of the
atmosphere, without which the wheat crop cannot yield
that bountiful produce which, at one time, presented
very gratifying indications, and without which the most
lamentable results wilt ineviably ensue, in embarrass•
ment to trade, the prostration of enterprise, the de-
rangement of the money market, from the effect of
which railway speculations could not escape, and in
privations and sufferings of no ordinary nature and
extent. These considerations are of the more import-
ance, when it is remembered, that, with the immense
daily consumption of a rapidly increasing population, the
stock of bonded wheat now on hand only amounts to
about twelve days' consumption. We trust, however,
that in most localities no serious damage has yet been
occasioned. But, at the same time, it cannot be denied
that the harvest, especially with a continuance of the
present weather, will be protracted to a late period ;
and that, consequently, the risks of the crop being
secured in good condition, arc doubled, and that the
stocks on hand, as we have before remarked, will expe-
rience a daily diminution before the new grain can be
possibly brought to the market. In proof of the lateness
of the season it need only be remarked, that last year—
an early harvest, certainly—wheat, in the higher loca-
lities in this district, was cut on the sth of August, which
corresponds with Tuesday last, and now the crop is as
green as grass. To the generality of crops, indeed, a
late harvest is invariably injurious.—Donewt:r Gazelle.

The disposal of the deanery of Worcester, which
will become vacant at Christmas next, when its present pos-
sessor, 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.—

We have received the minutes of evidence taken before the
- Select Committee of the House of Commons, appointed to
inquire into the truth of the allegations in Mr. Bruce's peti-
tion. We have only space to-day for the following outlines
- of the proceedings of the Committee, when they proceeded fi-
nally to consider their report :
" Motion made (Mr. Duncombe),—That the following pa-
- ragraph form part of the report The Committee think it
- right to add, that in the very small proportion of cases which
have been substantiated and partly supported, much of the
- evidence adduced was collected subsequent to the presentation
- of the petition, and they are of opinion that Henry Bruce
- made the serious charges contained in the petition without
- taking the most ordinary
.means of inquiry ; that the petition
was presented with the view of stopping the further progress
of the London and York Railway Bill, and to promote the
2% private interest of a rival company, of which the petitioner
- was Vice-Chairman; and that the conduct of Henry Bruce in
- presenting that petition has been a great abuse of the right of
petitioning.

" Amendment proposed (Mr. B. Baring),—' In the pro-

further states, that he is still pursuing his inquiry into the
___ bond fides and responsibility of the said subscription list, and
that he does not doubt that he shall discover numerous other
instances of similar fraud besides those specifically alleged."
" Your Committee have had no time to enter into any
such general charges, nor are they inclined to think that the
_ character of the evidence already adduced is such as to make
it desirable that any such investigation should be entered upon ;
they are the more disposed to entertain this opinion as such an

It would be difficult to state accurately the number of per-
sons present, so many and different were the opinions enter-
tained on the subject : however, the general opinion was, that
there were from 15,000 to 20,000 on " School-hill" at one time
during the day. At half-past two o'clock the Marquis of
Downshire was called to the chair amidst great applause.
which lasted for several minutes. When silence had been
obtained,
His LORDSHIP rose, and said that if the requisition, signed
by so many and respectable of the inhabitants of Lisburn and
the surrounding country had not been presented him, request-
ing him to take the chair at that meeting, which afforded him
'so great a pleasure, as its principal object was to condole with
his friend Commodore Watson, he would have offered his ser-
vices for that purpose.—(Cheers.) He was prepared to say,
and he spoke advisedly, that a more unjust, unconstitutional,
and tyrannical proceeding had never been adopted by any
Government than that which had been used towards their
friend.—( Hear.) He was not in the habit of defying any
one, but if he were, he would defy the Government to
prove that it was a constitutional act. He would again
repeat, that if he had not been called upon to preside that
day he would have offered his services, which he thought would
be a sufficient reply to the various opinions expressed by both
sides of the press ; and he would add further, that he was pre-
pared to take the responsibility of the act.—(Cheers.) `fhe
Noble Lord then expressed his hope that on the termination of
the proceedings, those persons who were there assembled would
depart quietly to their respective homes, without insulting or
wounding the feelings of any one, and then concluded by intro-
ducing to the meeting
The Very Rev, the Dean of DROMORE, who expressed sa-
tisfaction at seeing such an assemblage presided over by his
Lordship. He said that was as it should be, for it was such an
assemblage as ought to take place in Ireland. He, therefore,
did not—surrounded as he was by so many friends—think it
necessary to urge any argument to induce their adoption of the
resolution he held in his hand, when he knew they were as-
sembled to condole with his friend Commodore Watson, for
whom he called upon the meeting to give three cheers, which
were immediately responded to. He (Mr. Watson) was then
upon the platform, and held a more exalted position amongst
them than any that Sir Robert Peel could give him. The
Rev. Gentleman then concluded by moving as follows :
" Resolved—That it is the indefeasible and unquestionable
right of every British subject to express, in a lawful manner,
his opinions of the conduct and measures of the Ministers of
the Crown."
JAMES B. Bnacxwoon, Esq., seconded the resolution,
which was passed unanimously.
JONATHAN RICHARDSON, Esq., of Ingram, in a very
lengthened and eloquent speech, next moved—
" That we witness with regret, apprehension, and dissatisfac-
tion the system of policy which her Majesty's Ministers have
for some time pursued, and appear resolved to continue, with
reference to her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects, the Pro-
testants of Ireland : the disaffected and disloyal being the ob-
jects of confidence and favour, while the faithful and attached
are treated with contempt and disregard, subjected to insult,
and made the objects of unmerited persecution."
Which motion was seconded by THOMAS J. SMYTH, Esq.,
J. P. , and passed.
The third resolution was proposed by Colonel VERNER, and
seconded by the Rev. H. Humor', and was as follows :
" That we consider the removal of James Watson, Esq., of
Brookhill (a gentleman respected and venerated by all who
know him), from the deputy-lieutenaney and magistracy of the
county of Antrim to be a wanton exercise of arbitrary power,
unjustified by the letter or the spirit of the statutes which have
been made the pretext for his dismissal, and at direct variance
with the spirit of the constitution."
'I he Rev. Mr. Ktiox then moved, which was seconded by
R. DULLING, Esq., and carried—
" That it is repugnant to the constitution of this empire that
her Majesty's subjects should be required to yield obedience to
the views, opinions, or declarations of any single constituent of
the legislative powers, the united concurrence of the three
estates of the realm being essential to constitute an obligatory
law ; and that any attempt to fetter the actions of British
subjects by the maintenance of a contrary doctrine is subver-
sive of our rights, and ought not to be tolerated by a free
people."
CALDBECK, Esq., moved the next resolution, which was
seconded by Major WARING :
" That the l'rotestants of Ireland, being upwards of two
millions, are entitled by their position and weight, as a religious,
orderly, loyal, and educated people, to the confidence of the
Crown and protection of the Government ; whereas, on the
contrary, we see our venerated clergy insulted, our Church
endangered, her revenues confiscated, our faith maligned, our
uptight magistrates dismissed, and our sacred and venerable
institutions prostrated, in order to conciliate the avowed foes of
British connexion ; we therefore solemnly pledge ourselves to
associate, as Protestants, by every lawful means within our
power, in support and defence of what still remains of our vene-
rated constitution,and in the sure conviction that such a course
is become essential to the security of our lives and properties,
to the maintenance of the Throne, and to the preservation of
the empire."
The Rev. Mr. LESLIE next addressed the meeting, and read
the following address :
" To the:Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.
" May it please your Majesty—
" We, your dutiful and loyal Protestant subjects, desire to
approach our Most Gracious Sovereign, and lay before her
throne the grievances under which we labour. Our
British birthright, liberty of private judgment, is uncon-
stitutionally shackled by the persecution of men who have
earned our respect and confidence throughout lives of un-
blemished private and public integrity; that we, Protestants
of Ireland, who have been at all times loyal and ;peaceable
subjects—whose forefathers placed your :Majesty's illustrious
house on the throne of these realms, and who are ready to shed
our blood in its defence—think ourselves entitled, as an im-
portant section of the British nation, to the confidence of the
Crown, and the protection of Government, which we feel,
with regret and alarm, are now withheld from us. We see our
beloved National Church in danger, our venerated clergy in-
sulted, our magistrates dismissed in some places, and massacred
in others, our venerable institutions encroached upon to con-
ciliate those whom past experience tells us can never by fair
concession be satisfied. We have further seen our conscien-
tious convictions on the vital question of SeTipiural education
disregarded, and our humble petitions fur a share of Govern-
ment educational funds treated with contempt. We therefore
humbly pray that you would be graciously pleased to take the
case of your Majesty's faithful, attached, and loyal Protestant
subjects in Ireland into your favourable consideration—the posi-
tion in which they are placed, and the persecutions under which
they suffer, being stated in simplicity and truth in this their
dutiful address—and that you would issue your royal mandate that
henceforward an undue preference may not be shown, nor an
ascendancy in variance with the spirit of the Protestant con-
stitution, be conceded to a party in the country opposed to
British connexion, and inimical to the British throne ; and we
would further implore of your Majesty, that, as an act of grace
to your faithful Protestant subjects of Ireland, you would be
pleased to command that James Watson, Esq., be restored to
the office of deputy-lieutenant, and reinstated as a justice of
the peace for the county of Antrim."
After which he moved:—
"That an humble and dutiful address be prepared and pre-
sented to her Majesty, praying that she may be graciously
pleased to issue her royal command for the restoration of Mr.
Watson, her Majesty's faithful, loyal, and attached subject, to
the deputy-lieutenancy and magistracy of the county of Antrim,
for whose removal from which, we are of opinion, no just,
legal, or constitutional cause has existed, or been assigned."
Which was seconded by EDWARD ANDERSON, Esq., and
passed unanimously.
The Rev. W. G. WYNNE then moved, which was seconded
by JOHNSTON, Esq., as follows:
" Resolved, That an address be presented to Mr. NVatson,
with a copy of these resolutions, expressive of our continued
respect and confidence, and containing our assurance that his
character stands too high in public regard to be otherwise
affected than by increased public estimation by the arbitrary act
of depriving him of the commission of the peace and deputy-
lieutenancy ; and that the Protestants of Ireland are deeply in-
debted to the Dublin Evening Mail, and the Protestant press
of Ireland, for its able, continued, and uncompromising advo-
cacy of their rights and privileges, and that our Noble Chair-
man be respectfully requested to communicate this resolution
to its very able and highly appreciated proprietor and con-
ductor."
The Rev. Dean Waring was then called to the chair, when
a vote of thanks was passed to the Marquis of Downshire, and
he the meeting separated at five o'clock.

Dfii;elte, Afie. 18.—s Sir Thomas Fremantle, who ar-
rived at the Chief Etedretaty's Lodge, Phcenix Park, on

the new Chief-Clerk, entered upon the duties Of their
respective offices this day.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Astociatiott was hell this
day ; Mr. Law in the chair.
The following letter from Mr. O'Connell, addressed
to the Secretary of the Association, was read :
" Darrynane Abbey, Aug. 14, 1845.
"My dear Styr—l see that I have been misunder-
stood. It has been e!ipposed that in my project for
Working out the registration Cr 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 which there are not already at least that
ember.'
" My plea, 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 parisii 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
Association the necessity of organising the registry of
voters in every county and borough in Ireland. We
must not relax our effarts for one moment to secure at
least seventy Conciliation-hall Repeaters 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 Repeaters 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 tfie Irish Parliament.
" It is impossible to contemplate steadily the events by
which we are surrounded, without the conviction being
forced on the mind of every rational man, that the peo-
ple of Ireland have it in their power to gain the restora-
ton of their domestic Legislature. All that is necessary
is, to make use of and exert the constitutional means
within our reach to achieve that measure. Organisation,
registry;repeal rent, and occasional monster demonstra-
tions of the unanimous, though perfectly peaceful, de-
termination of the people to have Ireland a nation
again—these are the means by which the statesmen of
England must be made to perceive the wisdom of acced-
ing to our wishes.
" Contrasting the public demonstrations of the re-
pealers with the recent Orangeexhibition at Fermanagh,
must afford the most sincere gratification to every friend
of the peace and tranquillity of Ireland. The Go-
vernment no longer think it necessary that either mili-
tary or police should attend at any of the meetings of
the repealers. Our meetings assemble to declare their
opinions in enormous and overwhelming multitudes.
But they assemble unarmed. There is no intimidation,
no insult, no injury to anybody ; and, what is still more
strange, such is the kindliness of demeanour of the
people towards each other, that not even an accidental
injury has been sustained by any person at any of our
monster meetings.
" How different, I repeat, are the Orange exhibitions.
On their first revival in the present year, a shocking and
barbarous murder stained that event. The widow's son
was slain at Armagh.
" Rejoice, Repeaters! at the contrast yet have afforded.
We would not purchase the repeal at the loss of a single
drop of human blood. We do trust in God that the
men of Ulster will soon see the propriety of following
our example ; by holding, whenever they deem it neces-
sary, their public meetings to seek the redress of
grievances, or supposed grievances, without breaking the
peace or violating the law in any respect.
"It is, I repeat, melancholy to think that several
repectable Orangemen of Enniskillen should have under-
stood their own 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 insulted or maltreated in any respect, for
attending at a repeal meeting ; on the contrary, an
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 be 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 offenaive man-
ner, but in a manner calculated to win the attenticn 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 say, 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 Government, aban-
doned, not only in words but by some very unequivodal
actions.
" It is quite true that these addresses to the men of
Ulster may fur a time produce little public effect ; but
we are so essentially in the right in looking for the
restored nationality of Ireland, and they are so essen-
tially in the wrong in fomenting unavailing and mis-
chievous 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-
mestic legislature.
"To return to the registry. The county of Tippe-
rary, it is said, requires some exertion to place it in a
satisfactory state. There is, however, one great conso-
lation, that we have two excellent Members fur the
county—there could not be better found. There is no
truer repealer nor better Irishman living, than my loved
friend Nicholas Maher. The junior Member, Mr. Fitz-
gerald, isnot only a gentleman of fortune,family, and talent,
but also a most sincere patriot and ardent repealer. Both
have more than once occupied the chair of Conciliation
Hall. The association has every possible motive to in-
fluence its best exertions to place the registry on the
most triumphant footing. This can be easily done, and
should be done speedily.
" One word as to Cork city. It is a deplorable mis-
fortune that the repeal principle should make it inevitably
necessary to procure a substitute for Sergeant Murphy.
Had he been a repealer there could not be a
better Member. He is a man of great talent, emi-
nent knowledge of his profession, and great in •
dustry. In addition to these advantages, his rela-
tions and connexions in the city of Cork are of the
first respectability, and of considerable popular influence.
What a pity it is that he, being so desirable a represen-
tative in every other respect, should not be a repealer,
This is at least quite certain, that when the Cork
repeaters part from so efficient and patriotic a member
as Sergeant Murphy, merely because he is not a re-
pealer, it is essentially necessary, in point of consistency,
that the repeaters in all other constituencies should pe-
remptorily reject their present Whig representatives,
and substitute unequivocal repealers. Let not the Whigs
lay the flattering unction to their souls, that this rule of
electing repealers 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 repealers, 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 preference 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 ! Register I Remember we shall be able to
carry the repeal if we have seventy Members 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 single elector. It would be a noble blow
if we were able to recover the city of Dublin from the
non-resident freemen who are non-Repeaters. Register,
say, register, and then—Hurrah for the Repeal.
" Believe me to be very faithfully yours,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."

Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., urged upon the 11,-
peelers an immediate attention to the registry. It should
form the paramount object of their exertions, and be
even wished it to take precedence of the collection of the
TIIE SLAVE TRADE.—The trial of Captain Bellet, r
