2/. lOs. per Share.—From the applications which eontinue to
be made daily at this office for Shares, and from ether cir-
cumstances, the Committee of Direction have reason to know
that there is abroad the erroneous impression that there still
remain Shares unappropriated and to be placed, and that a
further distribution of Shares is yet to :be made. To correct
such erroneous impression the Committee thus inform the Share-
holders and the public that every Share has been allotted and the
deposit paid on the whole number of 100,000 Shares, amounting
t) 250,0001, and of that amount the sum of 200,0001. has been
for some time past temporarily Invested at interest for the benefit of
the Company till required for the purpose of being deposited on
presenting to Parliament the petition for the Bill to incorporate the
Company. J. ft. MOW ATT, Secretary.

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of £-100,000, the Assured
have the security of the Company's income of nearly £fO,OPO per
annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund in-
vested in Government and other available securities, of considerably
la,ger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

RIVER POACHING.—The fishing season has fairly
commenced here, and notwithstanding the exertions of
the water bailiffs, the quantity of fish already killed (if
we may believe what everybody says) is fully as great as
in any former year. It is calculated that not hss than
900 fish have Iron taken in little more than a fortnight,
and we have heard it stated that one party of five men
caught about 140 in one night. Even in the open day
fish are taken out of the river close to the town, but few
will inform, and unless seen by the water bailiffs the
fishers are quite &aft?. It said that not a few have been
detected, who hill forthwith be proceeded against ; but
we merely state public rep orts, the general truth of which
there is little reason 0 doilbt.—Kelso Chronicle.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, DEC. 9.—The weekly meeting of the Re-
peal Association was held at the Conciliation Hall,
to-day, and was as usual very numerously attended.
Mr. O'Connell arrived shortly after one o'clock, and
was received with loud and enthusiastic applause. On
the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman,
Mr. Henry Grattan, M.P., took the chair, amidst
loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the honour
done him. He said he never hoped or wished to be a
leader in a bad cause, and he never would he a de-
serter in a good one. If he were asked what brought
him there that day, his reply would be that he came
to discharge a public duty, and in doing so he should
at the same time congratulate the country on the
spirit of friendliness, of benignity, and of nationality,
which was fast increasing throughout the land.—
(Hear, hear.) The north, the litith, the east, and the
west were all beginning to understand that the best
and most useful thing an Irishman could do was to
take his countryman by the hand, and no matter what
his creed or caste might be, to assist him cordially in
forwarding the interests of their common country.
He would wish to see that spirit pervade her Ma-
jesty's Ministers ; but he regretted to perceive from all
he saw and read, that there were little symptoms of
repentance in that quarter.—(Hear.) There were
three matters which he wished to mention to the
meeting. The first was, the establishment of read-
mg-rooms, which he was glad to find had been taken
up with spirit by the Committee of the Association.
He recollected when he first went the Leinster cir-
cuit as a member of the bar, that in the seven prin-
cipal- towns of the province,, there, was but a single
bookseller's establiThment. The next topic which he
had to mention to them, was a document which he
held in his hand. It was the address, signed by no
less than 1,080,000 of the Irish people, to her Ma-
jesty the Queen, praying for an inquiry into the re-
cent legal proceeding against Mr. O'Connell and his
fellow martyrs. They had received no favourable
answer to that address.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.")
He was there to join with them in inquiring how it
was that the laws of that country could be violated by
Any set of men, and a number of her Majesty's sub-
jects unjustly imprisoned, without any redress, or
even inquiry being ordered into the proceedings.—
(Hear, hear.) He attributed the outrages that now
existed among the people, both of the north and south,
to that feeling, for when the peasantry saw the Go-
vernment violate the law by day, they would do so
by night. The chief Secretary of State and the
Orange wreckers of Tyrone acted on the same prin-
ciple, and the Irish people were the sufferers from the
acts of both.—(Hear, hear.) The third subject on
which he wished to address them was the Catholic
Charities Bill.—(Hear.) The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman then proceeded to comment in strong
terms on the conduct of the Government in passing
that measure, their sole object, in his opinion, being
to get the Roman Catholic Church of Ireland under
the power of the State. For his part he despised any
offers of promotion that could be made to him. What
honour could it be to his Hon. and Learned Friend
to be called Sir Daniel O'Connell or Lord Derry-
mine ? A paltry, contemptible baronetcy had been
also offered to his brother. They thought to bribe a
Grattan, but they never would do so.—(Cheers.)
He had been himself offered a place, and was told that
the Chancellor would promote him still higher if he
mitigated his political feelings. He was not strong
enough, or he would have flung the gentleman 'who
had brought him the message out bf the window.—
(Loud cheers.) He would maintain that it was ne-
cessary for the safety of the Crown that the Tories
should be put down. His solemn and decided opinion
was, that the Queen must put out her present ad-
visers or she would lose Ireland.—(Great cheering.)
The Government had, in the terms of Burke, pro-
claimed anarchy. He called upon the people of Ire-
land to resist the present Government to the utmost.
It was not enough, as he had heard Mr. Sheil once
say in one of his eloquent speeches—it was not enough
to tread the power of Toryism to the ground, but
they should hold the viper by the head. It was not
sufficient merely to extract his fangs, but they must
take from him his poison.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the
last day's proceedings,
Mr. O'CONNELL said they had received letters
stating that the spirit of ribbonism was rapidly ex-
tending in the counties of Cavan and Leitrim. These
misguided men aiopted the ludicrous name of Moll
Maguire, and committed outrages to a most formi-
dable extent. It was evident that some designing
knaves were going among the people and misleading
them, but they would find the bitter consequences of
it when it was too late. Some of them would, no
doubt, he executed, and many of them would be
transported, and their wretched wives and families
reduced to ruin and misery, and all on account of
their foolish and abominable practice of attacking
houses at night. It was necessary that some decisive
steps should be taken by the Association to protect
the people from the consequence of a continuation of
those crimes, and he would therefore beg to move the
suspension of the standing order, and the adoption of
the following resolution :—" That Thomas Steele,
Esq., the head pacificator of Ireland, be requested to
go down to Cavan and Leitrim, and to make the best
exertions that he possibly can to put an end to the
disturbances existing there, and, if necessary, to bring
the perpetrators of them to justice."
The motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. STEELE expressed his readiness to fulfil the
sanctified duty of restoring the tranquillity of the
country, because he considered the peace of Ireland as
her power and irresistible might.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY having announced the receipt of
several remittances,
Mr. O'CONNELL read a letter from the Hon. Mr.
Hutchinson, and moved the insertion of the letter on
the minutes.
The SECRETARY read a letter from the Irish resi-
dents in Buenos Ayres to Mr. Smith O'Brien, ten-
dering their co-operation in the struggle now pro-
gressing for the restoration of the Legislature of Ire-
land, and inclosing a bill of exchange for 112/. The
document was received with loud cheers, and, on
the motion of Mr. O'Connell, was inserted on the
minutes.
Mr. O'CONNELL then said it was his duty to offer
his excuse for not producing the report of the Com-
mittee on his ten propositions that had been referred
to it at the last meeting. His excuse was, that the
Committee held its meetings in the afternoon, and
daring the past week it was, he believed, well known
to all who heard him that he had been busily engaged
in making speeches on another subject (the Roman
Catholic Bequests Bill). He would promise, how-
ever, that, on his return from the public dinner at
Waterford, he would turn all his exertions to the
preparation of that report. The Committee would
be guided in their task by the principle that their
efforts were to be directed by moral means and by
the combination of good men alone, and, above all, by
the perpetual exclusion of the shedding of one drop
of human blood. When he was coming down
to that hall a few days ago, he met a gentleman, who
reminded him that he had attended three succes-
sive meetings during the struggle for Catholic eman-
cipation in the rooms in Exchequer-street, which he
(Mr. O'Connell) had hired at his own expense for the
purpose, and that the greatest number who attended
at any of those meetings was 14. He did not de-
spair of Ireland then, and why should he despair now,
when no room was large enough to contain the num-
ber who flocked around him ?—(Cheers.) Yet they
had obstacles before them. They had the English
press, a great deal of the Scotch press, a quantity of
the Irish press, and all the French press against them.
—(Hear, hear.) The French press, of all shades and
politics, had been latterly abusing him, but he had
been tolerably even with them.—(Hear, hear.) He
had been saying nothing of the crafty despot who
filled the throne of that country, or of M. Guizot,
who pretends so much love for England. The Journal
des Debats, the organ of Louis Philippe himself, com-
menced the attack. He wished they would let Ire-
land alone, when Ireland was letting them alone.—
(Hear, hear.) They pretended that, even in the case
of a war with England, they would not do so shame-
ful a thing as to attempt taking Ireland from Eng-
land. They have too much honour, forsooth, for that.
They commenced the attack upon him, and he replied
to it. They rejoined to him, and he had then one
word in answer to that rejoinder. He accused
their master, Louis Philippe of being a usurper,
and of having violated the solemn pledges by which
he acquired the throne. Louis Philippe can have no
title to the throne except the will of the entire
people. He did not condemn that title. On the
contrary, the Queen of those realms was the rightful
sovereign of the empire ; but under the doctrine of
legitimacy she would find a person with a prior title.
But still her throne was perfectly secure, and she had
succeeded to that throne, as her ancestors had done,
without an attempt at opposition. He was not, there-
fore, disputing the popular statement; but, on the
contrary, he was free to confess that it was an admi-
rable title to their own throne ; but what he coin-
