DUBLIN CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION,
This meeting, on Fridayovas unusually:crowded,
in order to hear Mr. Lawless's account of his missiott
to the North, which he gave in an animated and
'a-
tisfactory manner. •He also took the opportunity el
introducing the.-tivo' following letters
• ' ' Dundalk, Oct. 2, ISM
My Lord,--In consequence of the. proclamation
issued by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,and signed
by )'our Lordship, I -sake the "liberty of addressing
the following lines to your consideration. The pro,
clamation appeared to me robe directed against those
tumultuous assemblages which have appeared in th
South of Ireland; ,and those meetings Which I have
attended, at the different chapels I have vis4ed,
could not be in the contemplation of the Lord Lieu,
tenant, becausa they. were peaceable, decorous, and
respectful to the laws of the 4Ountry; but lest the
proclamation should allude teriiiy proceedings in the
North, I have determined to 'call no more parOchial
meetings, however certain I may be of their. correct
and proper conduct." Before I read the proelama-
don, I had determined that the people should mat
'accompany me in procession to nny of the chapels.
have succeeded in putting down all display of
public feeling, by the wearing of particular colours,
the carrying of banners and flags; I should, there
fore, hope that the Lord Lieutenant does not mean
to.. prevent me meeting the parishioners of each
'parish, in .theirAlspretive chapels, to consult with
them on the best mode of promoting their civil
and religious freedom. ••I shall feel much obliged
by your Lordship's sentiments, as 1 would be most
anxious to regulate.my conduct' according to the
wishes .of the present Government of Ireland, for
which I entertain the highest respect and sincerest
gratitude, for the mild and liberal spirit by which it
is characterized.' I have the honour to be
Your Lordship's obedient servant,
(Signed) • JOHN LAWLESS.
To Lord Francis Leveson Gower, Dublin Castle.
The following is the reply : . •
Dublin Castle, Oct. 3.
Sir—l have received and laid before the Lord
Lieutenant your letter of yesterday's date. With
reference to the passage in which you state your
hope "that the Lord Lieutenant does not moot to
prohibit your meeting the parishioners of each parish
in their respective chapels, to consult with them Ott
the best mode OUpronioting their civil and religious
freedom," I arn:directed by his Excellency to observe,
in his opinion, the tenor of the proclamation
conveys to all classes of his Majesty's subjects suf•
ficient information and warning. It first states the
law with. regard to.all such meetings as are calculated
to disturb the public peace, or endanger the public
property; and, secondly, the intentions of the govern-
ment to assist the civil authorities in enforcing the
law. It is not possible for his Excellency to anticipate
contingent cases, or to furnish individuals with his
opinion, whether any intended assemblage of his Ma-
jesty's subjects may come within the description of
the assemblages for the preventing and suppression
of which this Proclamation has been issued. It is
obvious that the question whether this Meeting be
illegal or not, must probably be left to the discretion
of the civil authorities on the spot. His Excellency,
however, has no objection to my communicating to
you the tenor of the advice and directions which he
persons who
has considered It his duty to give to any of the con-
stituted authorities who have requestedansducthoaadrvreieset
encouraging
for the regulation of their conduct; they have been in-
formed, that if they have good and substuntialgrounds
of apprehension that an assemblage is to take place
in the neighbourhood, which is calculated to alarm,

security of their persons arid property, they ars, to

On Wednesday evening, a young woman; the
daughter of 1111..' STOCK, 'of Slade 'Mill, in the neighbour-
hood of Gurneyslade, told her mother on going to milk a
cow in a neighbouring 'field, that she intended going to see
a friend ;at some little distance, who expected to be coq_
lined, and would leave her milk at a cottage on the road.
i
From her not returning that night her parents concluded
she had been detained ; but finding on the following morn-
a few yards from her father's
,h
her road home lay from
ing that the milk had not been left at the cottage, and
from further inquiries, that she had not called at her friend's,
a search was instantly commenced, when she was found

milking. From the circuttlstance of' one patters and the
milk kettle being found; in , the same hole, and the other
patters ion her foot,. it is supposed she slipped in passing
the stone bridge, and .initalit , death must have' been the
consequence of her, 414 since there co* - have been abut
little 'water in the. hole' to drown her, as
,no water was pas_

prevented: her :cries • from :being heard iiittlie mill. , She
was a fine young woman, and on the point of marriage with
a respectable young man. She was buried in her bridal
dress, on the Sunday following, about the same hour she
had promised to stand sponsor to a neighbour's child--
