At a meeting of the Catholic Board, held in Dub.
lin, on Saturday, the 16th ,instant, Major BRYAN in
the Chair, Counsellor O'CONNELL postponed his Mo-
tion for calling an Aggregate Meeting of the Catho-
lics of Ireland, till after the return of the EA of
FIGALL, and the other Catholic Deputies, to Inland,
and till the result of Mr. CANNING 'S Motion should
be known. Mr. O'CONNELL, in the course of a skit '
speech upon this Occasion, expressed his confidence,

of doubt." He also corrected a misapprehension as
to what, had fallen from him at the last meeting of

of an attempt to be made to disunite the Catholic
Laity from the Catholic Clergy. But this he was
sure was impossitfle.
