NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

The Meeting of the Association took place on Situr-
day, at the Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, at hall past
titre o'clock.
Mr. O'CONNELL, previous to the Chair being taken,
ijd, that a report had reached him, that it was intended
w suppress the separate and distinct meetings of the Ca-
emlics which took place on Wednesdays. From the illi-
berality of a portion of the British Cabinet ; the avowed
IListility of the Heir Presumptive to the sanguinary
2nd dreadful Throne; and the threat of Lord An-
glesea, the report wore an air of probability. How-
ever, he would say, that he hoped on the day when the
suppression would take place he should have the honour
of filling the Chair, and he would personally try the
question—( Loud applause). All he (Mr. O'Connell)
would requite was a fair Jury, and he had no doubt of
the result. For his past he doubted extremely that there
w 4, an intention of such a proceeding on the part of
1!“: legal authorities. But having heard the report, he
c:.,ideicd it his duty to say thus much; he would at
al: rinses pay the most implicit obedience to the law,
bu: convinced as he was of the legality of their Meetings,
he would wish to bring the question so issue in his own
pewit— ( Loud Utters). However, he hoped there was
wire good sense and feeling in the Cabinet, and that the
ill•fited councils of the Heir to the Throne vtould not
tither extend themselves to this unfortunate country.
M. O'GORMAN said, that when the day should come,
he too would be ready to encounter the risk. Ile hoped
Vag he would be the Secretary on the day the event
anticipsited by Mr. O'Connell should occur—(Hear).
At the same time he considered their so ft equent
Meetings unnecessary—(No, no)—they were driven, at
those Meetings, from want of subjects, into matters of
a crude and indigested nature, and appeared to the
Public as if they met solely for the purpose of forming
a Debating Society.
Mr. O'CONNELL considered that, if Mr. O'Gorman
entertained such sentiments, he was perfectly free to
absent himself from the Meetings which he had de-
scribed. The fact wag, that, at their Meetings, they had
not anything like sufficient time to bring forward half
the subjects which were pressing on them. The
reason of those eternal debates, of which his Learned
Friend,the Secretary, spoke, was the recurrence at them
all of one topic, " the Wings." What he (Mr. O'Con-
nell) would propose was, that a Meeting be specially
called to debate those matters ; and when the decision
of the country shall have been obtained, let them bei

ewer after dropped—(Hear).
The Hon. Gonsrmus FRENCH, was then called to the
Chair, when it was agreed that Mr. Dw)er, should be
Secretary of the Association. The Rev. Dr. Doyle
oho had 51. the Bishop of sent Killaloe, and D.an
&Shaughnessy, of Ennis, with several other persons,
'nem admitted members of the New Association. A
letter of the Education Committee, to the Catholic Pre-
lates, on the subject of educating the Irish people, was
adopted.
Mr. SHIEL made a long speech, in which he abused
%hat he called the frightful atrocities of the Charter
Schools. The details, he said, “ would make the flesh of
every parent creep ; the heart recoiled at them even in
idea, and the blood was frozen in the veins with horror."
O'CONNKLL said the Chant? Schools made the
Children they pretended to educate brutes, not men—
ther only produced a species of moral Frankenstein's,
Mho were neither evil spirits nor human beings, but a
mature of both, bringing the bad passions int• society,
and blotting away all the good inclinations.
'file Meeting then adjourned.
