COUNTY MEETING AT CAVAN.

On Wednesday an important meeting was held in Cavan, in
pursuance of a requisition presented to the High Sheriff, signed by
Lord Farnham and other magistrates of the county. The meeting
took place in the open space In front of the County Court •house
On the motion of the Marquis of HE/a:WORT, seconded by R.
BURIOWEII, Esq., D.L., Anthony O'Reilly, Esq., High Sheriff of
the county, was called to the chair.
Among those present were, the Marquis of Headfort, the Karl
of Enniskillen, Lord Farnham, the Lord Bishop of Kilmore (Dr.
Leslie), the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, Roman Catholic Bishop; Hon.

S. R. Maxwell, John Young. Esq , M.P., Scc.
The HIGH SIIIIRIFF, on taking the chair, said he had convened
that meeting that day in pursuance of a requisition forwarded to
him, and which was signed by Lord Farnham and some of the
most influential men in that county. He was delighted to see
around him on the occasion such a large assemblage of all classes of
persons, from the highest and most influential, down to the hum.
blest.—(Cheers.) This led him to hope that every person in the
county, according to his ability, would join in the determination to
put an end to the dreadful state of affairs that at present exists.
/or unless the peer and peasant—the Protestant and the Catholic
—the clergyman and the layman—joined heart and hand to put a
stop to the atrocious murders and outrages which were of daily
occurrence, God only knew when those awful scenes would termi-
nate.—(Hear, hear.) As men, as Christians, he entreated that
all classes, forgetting the distinctions of politics or religion,
would join together in this one effort for their common in.

terest.— (Hear, hear.)
The Marquis of HEAD7OIID proposed the first resolution, ex-
pressing his regret at the atrocious murders and outrages that had
lately taken place in the county, which he said he was sure all the
Protestants and Roman Catholics present were opposed to.—
(Hear.) If there was any individual who heard him connected
with an illegal body he would call upon him to renounce it, as there
was no good ever resulted from these bodies—while they had
almost invariably been the forerunners of rebellion anti martial law,
as in the year 1798, shortly before the passing of the Act of Union,
which they were—at least many of them—anxious to see repealed.
The continuance of outrage would again lead to rebellion and mar-
tial law, and prevent several important'measures, then before Par.
liament, from being adopted, which would materially benefit all
classes of the people--(Hear)--and he would, therefore, implore of
every one present to unite in protecting their homes and their fa-
milies.—(Hear, hear.) In the name, then, of God he implored the
clergy of all persuasions to unite with the laity of all denomina.
tions, and to denounce from their altar's the perpetrators of out.
rage and bloodshed.—(Hear, hear.) The Roman Catholic clergy
had the power to do this, and he (the Marquis of Headford) knew
they had the inclination to do it—and would do it to prevent the
introduction of measures of a violent nature, which it would be
necessary to have recourse to, if crime continued to disgrace their
county.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble Marquis read the
resolution, which expressed the sincere regret of both Roman
Catholics and Protestants at the late dreadful murder, and the
other outrages which had taken place.
R. BURROWER, Esq., J. P. and D.L., Stradone, seconded the re.
solution, which was adopted unanimously.
Lord FARNHAM, D.L., proposed the second resolution, which
pledged the meeting to do all in its power to bring the perpetrators
of crimes to justice, and called on the clergy of every persuasion to
join with the laity to restore the county to peace, order, and Iran.
quillity. In doing so, he observed that no one in the country had
a greater interest in the proceedings of that day than he had, and
announced his determination to spare neither exertion nor money
to accomplish the object for which the meeting had been called to-
gether.— ( Cheers.)
WlLusrt HUMPHREYS, Esq., J.P. (Bailyhaize House), seconded
the motion, and enforced the necessity of a union of persons of all
religions to join in restoring peace and harmony to the county.
When he had concluded,
The Lord Bishop of Kicsmaz came forward to address the
meeting, and was loudly cheered. He said that he would, on be-
half of the Protestant clergy of his diocese, state, that they would
do all is their power to restore love, peace, and good.will amongst
all men—(Hear,hear)—and he had no doubt but that the clergy of
other persuasions would unite with them in that object.—(Cheers.)
The Right Rev. Dr. Meows, Roman Catholic Bishop of Kilmore,
also spoke to the resolution, and pledged himself for the clergy of
his creed, that they would assist the Protestant clergy and magis.
trates in cultivating benevolence, forbearance, and Christian
charity.—(Hear, hear.) After eighteen years' residence in the
county of Cavan, he (Dr. Brown) would say, that he never ex•
pleased a word which did not instil those principles; and such also
was the duty of his clergy who co.operated with him, and he felt that
there would never be a wholesome state of society whilst the people
were divided into factions.—(Cheers.) It, therefore, gave him the
greatest satisfaction to witness the benevolent feelings and expres.
sinus uttered that day, which he hoped would make it be looked
backed to with pride in the history of their country.—(Hear, hear.)
All they had to do was to unite hand in hand together, and peace
and tranquillity would be preserved, and martial law and its con-
sequences would not be heard ot.—(Great applause.)
The Rev. THOHAS MAGUIRE, P.P., of Ballynamore, likewise
addressed the meeting, which he said he considered as the most
important one that was ever held to preserve the peace of any
country, and expressed his full approval of the advice giveu by the
Right Rev Prelates that preceded him. In reference to the re-
cent crimes in the country, he said, " There was a time, fellow-
countrymen, when this green island was called the island of saints ;
but if people proceeded in the cowardly, and bloody, and monstrous
system of shooting men without any notice—not giving them even
as much time as to say' Lord have mercy on me'—l say, if such
practices are persevered in, they will get-for our country the deno-
mination of the island of assassins.—(Hear, hear.) I trust, my
friends, you are too kind hearted not to have a horror of the base,
unprincipled, and cowardly system of assassinatiou.—(Cheers.) You
may have wrongs—you may have grievances—real or imaginary—
but I need not tell you that there never was a grievance, never an
oppression, never an injury that could palliate the awful crime of
murder."—(Loud cheers.) His advice to the people was, to keep
at home at night, and to avoid all secret bodies, which would lead to
the gibbet and transportation, and to bring to justice any person who
would attempt to seduce them into crime, no matter_whether
he was a Catholic, or a Protestant, to endeavour to discover
the murderer of the late Mr. Booth, and also the perpetrators of
all similar outrages.—(Cheers.) " if, said he, " every town.
land would join, Protestant and Catholic, and give their hands to
each other—if they would say to each other, let eur old feuds be
forgotten—let us show that we have the love of religion and the
promotion of Christianity at heart, and make a declaration before
man and heaven—a declaration to be kept as solemnly and invio-
late as Es her Mathew's pledge—that the first stranger making his
appearance in the county to whom suspicion attaches, and wleo
