NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

(From tLe Dublin Evening Post, Oct. 6.)

. Mr. BRETT, in the Chair,

After a few routine matters had been disposed of,
Mr. SBIEL addressed the Association. He- com-
menced a very eloquent and impressive speech by
reverting to the terrible murder committed in Tip-
perary a few days ago. He drew a masterly and ap-
palling picture of the state of recklessness and de-
pravity to which the peasantry were reduced. He
then gave an animated view of the system of mis-
government which bad generated these vices, and
contended that the Protestants of Ireland were, if
possible, more interested in restoring the country, if
possibl,, to peace and order than the Cat
This could not be accomplished, he demonstrated
by a train of argument, at once forcible and conclu-
sive, without putting ail his Majesty's subjects upon
a perfect equality, as to their civil and political rights.
The speech was received throughout with con-
tinued cheering.
Mr. C O'Dwvaa gave notice of a motion touch-
ing the communications received from the Right
Rev. Doctor Logan, Catholic Bishop of Meath, con-
cerning the Irish Society's Schools.
After disposing of a few matters of form, the As-
-,;ociation adjourned.

DUBLIN, OCT. 7.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

An event of rather an extraordinary nature has taken
place in .this city withit: the last week—a Sheriff's dinner
attended only by thirty members of the Corporation !
suppose you are aware, that the great majority of the mem-
hers of our respectable Corporation are persons to whom
a sumptuous dinner is an event of sufficiently rare occur-
rence to attract a poor gourmand, if it were only for its
novelty. Why it had not the expected effect upon a late
occasion, 1 am, unable to divine. • The only cause assign-
able is, that the gentleman -who is now one of our High
Sheriffs has been two or three times unsuccessful, and they
take the liberty of translating his motto, " Je us change
qu'en mourant," into " 1 won't give change till I die."
Although this may be the pretext, I am certain it cannot
be the real cause, for there are few of our corporators who
are not nearly in the same predicament; for instance, the
leading orator in the " Commons" has been smashed fre.
quentiv, and one of the most distinguished Foremen of our
City Grand Jury has been. Gazetted no less than three
times. Then why our High Sheriff should be despised, I
really cannot tell, Perhaps the neglect that is now exhi-
bited towards him is manifested because he accepted the
office when no one else could be found to take it, for so
low, so very low, has our Corporation here fallen, that the
office of High Sheriff was actually for weeks going a
begging, and no one, not even the oratorical tailor, Davy
IPCluny, would deign to receive it.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TTERSALL'S.-Our. 8.

As this was the settling day for the Newmarket Races,
;r very numerous muster assembled. Very little, however,
was done with regard to next years' Stakes. Colonel and
Druid are the two first for the Derby. Hardly any were
mentioned for the Oaks. The settling bore a cheerful
character, and with the exception of one dispute, every
thing went off smoothly. To settle that one dispute, how-
ever, a court was formed of two directors, and during the
decision an air of awful majestic dignity reigned through-
out. The suitors set forth their respective claims, and at
one time the wordy war waged thick and heavy, the old
fashioned mode of listening to each other being entirely dis-
pensed with ; at length " the court" restored order, and
another obstacle to public justice arose in a witness who
refused to be examined without that most important docu-
ment of the Turf, his betting hook, and the court adjourned
to allow the aforesaid witness to provide himself therewith.
In one case 10 to 6 was betted on Curtis against Tisdale,
who fight to-morrow.

The celebrated racer Reviewer, the property of Lord
Kgburne, died last week of mortification, produced by an
operation performed on him. When a two-yr-old he was
supposed to be the beet of his age in the country,
and
running at Catterick induced many to look for
great things
generally
yhings from him ; indeed, for some months he was
first favourite for the St. Leger (for which he ran as far
as the Red House as well as any horse in the world), but
from sand-cracks and other causes his subsequent per-
formances were not by any means so good as was expeeted..
Had he continued well, be would, in all probability, have
made a considerable change in the affairs of the sporting
11
world. Abjer was his sire, his dam Blue Stockings.
