The Dublin Paper last tcceived state, that at nu
Aggregate Catholic Meeting, held on the 17th,
in that city, a Resolution %vac proposed, contirm.
ing the Resolution of the Catholic Prelates of
the 2dth of April last, in favour of domestic no-
mination, and strongly recommending the adop-
tion of such canonical proceedings as may be most
'likely to obtain that object.
The Meeting was held at Clarendon-street Cita.
pel, Sir Tlioi4AS ESMOND, Bart. in the Chair.
Mr. O'Goamkri read a report of the proceed-
ings of the Irish Catholics since their last meet-
ing, after which the Catholic Board was pro-
nounced by high authority to be an illegal As-
sembly; he advetted to the differences which
arose in the lindy,.whereby, many of its Members
had seceded, and lamented that these differences
should have existed.

OWSN O'CoNNOR, Esq. roseand said; that- Ai,
they were pledged to petition every year, while'
ever they had any thing to ask for, they were met
that day- for the purpose of adopting a Petition
which was prepared tor that purpose. • He then
-proposed some Resolutions vhirh had been pre-
pared by the Gentlemen who met at Darcy's on
MOaday for that purpose. The two first Resolu-
tions were as follow
" Resolved—That we do renew our mast
earnest and respectful Petition to the Legislature,
for the total and unqualified Emancipation at the
Catholics of Ireland.
" Second—Resol.eed—That we have seen, with
heartfelt pleasure, the Resolution of the Catholic
Prelates asstnibled at Kilkenny on the 29th' day of
last, declaring their readiness to concur in
.Domestic Nomination ; and we most strongly and
emphatically recommend wall dassei of the Catho-
lic Community, the adoption of such canonical
proceedings as are most likely to produce the esta-
blishment of Domestic Nomination."

The two foregoing Resolutions were seconded
by Nicholas Ma Esti. who passed a high
eulogiutn on the ['relates.
Mr. E. M'Donnell entered his protest against
any interterence on the part of the Laity with ca-
nonical proceedings. He thought the Resolution
went far enough if it stopped at the approval of
the conduct of the Bishops. He moved, that the
latter part of that Resolution be expunged.
Mr. Bernard Colic seconded Mr. Al'llonneirs
amendment, which was withdrawn akier au able
speech from Counsellor Side!.
Mr. O'Connor then moved the third resolution,
whicls:was as follows :--

" Resolved—That we deem it a duty which we
owe to ourselves and our country, solemnly to
declare, thnt we will, at all times, and under ail
circumstances, deprecate and oppose, .by all means
left us by the laws, any influence, either direct or
indirect, on the part of the Crown of Great Britnio,
in the appointment of Bishops for the Roman Ca-
tholic Church of Ireland.“

The Petition WRS'lllell read, and upon motion
of Mr. O'Connor, seconded by Mn, M`Mahim,.
agreed to.
" Resolvedhat the charge of procuring signa-
tures to that Petition, and causing it to be pre«
sensed to both Horses of Parliament; at as early
a pei iod as , possible in the ensuing Session; be
committed to the individuals who composed the
CathOlic Board and Catholic Associ:►tion."

Mr. lac Donnell proposed a ResolUtion to call
upon the Catholics of Ireland to support a Re-
torm in Parliktnient. This Resolution drew, forth
tin animated discussion.

Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Gor.man, Mr. Simi], Mr.
Howley, Mr. tVoulf, and Mr. N. Mahon, opposed
the motion, as being totally irnelevant to the busi-
ness they were called upon to debate.
Mr. 'reeling spoke-front the Gallery at consider•
able length in favour of the Motion, which he
said was of more importance to Irishmen than
even Catholic Emancipation, for this was a remedy
to but one evil—that cured all.
This motion was the cause of much clamour and
noise, and was at length, at the request of several
Gentlemen, in order to preserve unanimity at this
Meeting, ithdrawn by the mover, who promised
to take an early opportunity to bong forward hi,
motion.

Lord Donoughtuore and Mr. Parnell were' ap-
pointed to present the Petitions, and after the
usual votes of thanks the Meeting dissolved.

the state of these beautiful and unfortunate pro-
vinces of the Rio de 14 Plata. Abandoned to a
state tut weirdly,. the en.l tit which it is impossible

the vulgar and even the chiefs attach no just idea ;

to the caprices of the ambitions, who dispute with

plains, where the fugitives will always find an

they be sufficiently numerous to keep their

the inevitable losses which await them ? Will the
infant kingdom of the Brazils be able to sustain
$ struggle of this nature it it is protracted!? It is
ttifficelt to answer these questions. The Congress
of Tuctiman, before prochtiming the appeal to
arms, endeavoured, )my means of negociations, to
interest Hoglund, told to neutralize the Sovereign
of Rio Janeiro. The first of these Powers pre-
serves to the present moment the appearances of
neutrality ; the latter does not cutlet:al his hostile
views, prepares his means of attack, and has even,
we are assured, commenced hostilities. At Bite-
nos-Ayres they arc ignorant whether the Polito-
gorse soldiers are supporting the cause .of the
King of Spilt, the brother-in lima their Sove-
reign, or abort to subjugate vast countries to ag•
grandize the Brazilian empire. What is most
painful in this new struggle is, that a great num-
ber of the inhabitants of the provinces of Rio de
la Pieta, particularly those of Spanish origin,
forced by-the, fear of persecution and death to
seek an ass him in the Brazils, now return, a der

Lord ELLENBOROUGit and a Special jury.

JONES V. ROYCE.
This was an action brought by the butler of
General Morgan. to recover damages from the
Proprietor of the Colchester stage co►ich, cal Fed
the Eclipse, for the loss of a kg, wi.ich the plain-
tiff was allegeel to have sustained in consequence
of the negligence of the defennant's servant, in the
course of the passage from litcutwood, in Esser,

to London. -
The case Appeared to be this :—The plaintiff
was an outside passenger, and the coach, having
changed horses at the Swan Inn at Brea t wood, was
proceeding on the journey to London, When the
coupling rein of the leaders broke, and the near
wheel horse haring got one of his legs entangled
in the traces, the whole four set off•at full spee'.
The coachman, in order to stop the progress of
the coach, reined in the leorses as well as he could,
anti succeeded in driving the vehicle, gently in con-
tact with a post by the road-side, which complete-
ly arrested the career of the Itorses The plaint
tiff, and, four other passengers in the hinder Port
of the coach, apprehending that they allOtdil he
overturned, adopted the alternative ofjun►p'ng in-
to the road, and they all escaped unhurt, except
the plaintiff, one ot- whose legs was so dreadfUlly
fractured by the fall, as to render
.almost Mims-

diate aminitatinn necessary.
It !vas, proved, as a strong fact in the plaintiff's
case, and not contraditted on the other side, that
the coupling rein of the leading horses ads in a
complete state of decay, a circumstance
was the primary cause Of the accident. No Maine,
however, was imputed to the personal et/ what
ol the cOatliman, Alm did every thing in his
power to avoid the danger of bring upset.
Lord ELLENsottouou charged Ate Jlevy, that

if they were sat4sfied that the defective state of
the harness was the cause of the coach running
against the pOst in goeStion, aistl that the poii-
tion of the coach tit that time occasioned ufti-
cent ground of apprehension an any reastiouhle
person's mind to make it necessary for self-pre-
servatton that the plaintiff should jump of :he
coich, then tlse action was was
not necessary, in order to niainiain the action,
that the party should be thrown fa mu the body of
the coach ; .Icsr if the person is placed in such a
situation as to. make rt
_painful :19(1; dangerous
choice of alternatives necessary, by casting hilts-
self from the coach, to avoid the impending
of being overturned, and that. position of things
[is induced by the misconduct of the nelsons to
whom he has comenitted his .kilety, in such c.. t.
the action is maintainable for the consilitences

ss as so broken down with lever and, ague, that
he was unable to do any thing. ‘Nruini the squall
was over, Captain Allan, though h knew of his
indisposition, took ltie end of a 2-inch rope, and
beat the plaintiff till he had cut his skirt to pivcct; ;
in conseqnence of ti hick his back continued sore
for almost three :weeks, and he was full of pains
and bruises. The plaintiff, .Catr, rdwaysslid his
duty when he was able, mut the conduct at the
Captain could only be abcribed to a. brutal dispo-:

Mr. Du Bois concluded his address to Jury
with th $ remark it may seem and 'onto!
thing like a itst, to talk of the feelings of Ciipt,

tell you where they arc---they are in his breeches
pocket ; and i trust that you will not be sparing
of the only feelings of a man who hai had no

ljublitt ; the defendant the keeper of a private
taHabliSlltUellt for insane persons at Carlow. His

tence of t:-king her borne to her friends, removed
her to Kiltertgait, an obset.re country town, where
he described her a, a Mrs: Hamilton, and where
Nile lay in of a male child. All this was tt ,Ititown
to the ottfottoolte husband, who continued to pay
the stipulated board of 100 guineas per totrottn.—
The evidence to prove the effeclion which sub-
sisted between the husband and wite.Tre%ions to
the unhappy malady, was conclusive.
The-first witness called- to prove the adultery

'The next witness WWI the person with wham,
