CAI lik)Llc ASSOCIATION.

(From the Dublin Miming Past of Wednesday.)
A Meeting of the Assoeizition took plut yesterday,
ikiinliata. COPPINGER. E-q. in the Chair.

THE 31ISSION TO ENGLAND.
Mr. O'CONNELL would now bring forward the subject
of the Mission to England. He was most anxious that
they should have no difference of opinion, and he was
anxious about the Mission, as he thought it would prove a
measure the most useful to the cause of Ireland. Being de-
sirous to have the most perfect unanimity on this 'point,
anti having conferred upon it with Mr. Wyse, he would
propose the two following resolutions :-
1. Resolved—That the persims comprising the Mission -
to England are not delegates or representatives, aad pessess
no species of delegated or representative authority whatso-
ever, having been appointel for tl.e sole and exclusive pur-
pose of challenging enquiry to confute calumny, disabusing
English prejudices, and vindicating the principles and con-
•
duct of the Catholics.

2. That the Noblemen and Gentleinen appointed to go
upon the above-mentioned Mission, to meet in Dublin as
speedily as possible, to make all necessary arrangements.
It was then carried that the standing order of the day
be suspended, in order to let these motions be passed.
Mr. LAWLESS seconded the first resolution. He was
glad to seize the opportunity of expressing his decided ap-
probation of it, as he felt that it amounted to a most satis-
factory acid complete vindication of the part he had taken
on the question of the Mission.
The motions were then adopted.
Mr. O'Com.lirl. broUght forward his motion on the
subject of the English. Catholics. He said, 'the Catholics
of England agreed to petition for unqualified Emat.cipation,
nevertheless the Duke of. Norfolk declared his readiness to
go into the question of Securities. The Catholics of Ire-
land should take a decided step lest they should be involved
in an admission of the principle. He would not allow any
conditions; that would be opening the door for tndless
discussion, and divert the minds of the people from the
main question. He was not seeking a severance of the
two bodies, but a severance of principle. His motion
would be, that Mr. M'Donnell should take measures to
have the matter brought before the English Catholic As-
socistion, and that lie should be instructed to procure
meeting of the English Catholics to disavow or confirm
the sentiments of Mr. Blount; and if they would not dis-
avow them, that he should cease all intercourse with than,
as agent to the Catholics of Ireland.

Mr. LAWLOR opposed the motion. • -
Mr. LAWLESS and Mr. SIIEIL supported the motion,
which was put from the Chair and passed. The Meeting
then adjourned.

We feel ourselves authorised to state with some
contidence, that Lord Lonsdale has signified to the Duke of
Wellington, that if it be his Grace's policy to carry the
Catholic Question, he will not only not receive from bins
ar.y opposition, hut, on the contrary, support. We have
to add, that the Duke of Ileaufort has expressed himself to
the Premier in similar language, and finally, which may
perhaps be still considered more important, that the Duke
of Rutland has declared his willingness to concede to any
arrangements on the Question, which the head of the Go-
vernment deems advisable.—Dublin Evening Post.
O'GORMAN MAHON, EsQ.— .L
eports were
in circulation for the last two or three days, that this Gen-
tleman had been removed from the Commission of the Peace.
From motives of delicacy, we did uot notice them. We
perceive that the subject was introduced at the Association
yesterday, but Mr. Mahon himself declared, that
.he knew
nothing more of the matter than what was linown to those
who heard or circulated the report.—Dubhn 211orn, pod.

THE CHANCELLOR-111E AIAGISTRACY
.---THE EX-WORSHIPFUL (YGOR2'.IAN MAIION••—••Sir An-
thony Hart has, in a silent and unobtrusive way, done an
infinity of mischief in Ireland by the additions he has made
to the magistracy of the country. We are far from imput-
ing wilful culpability to the Chancellor in the appointments
he bas made, but. attribute them solely to the influence of
those had advisers whom he unfortunately confided in, on
his assumption of the seals: In this feeling we av7il 0111,
selves of the first opportunity of ren4ying Sir Anthony an
act of justice. On Saturday last he superseded Mr. James
Pat O'Gorman Mahon in the Commission of the Peace,
for " misconduct." What the nature of the offence is we
do not pretend to know; nor upon what investigation the
decision bas been come to. We simply state the fact, and,
the very pithy, business-like reason assigned. " Par fur-
therperticulars," we shall look to the proceedings of the
Association to-morrow. Dublin .Evening
