REPEAL ASSOC' ATioN.—The rent, as announced at the
weekly meeting on Tueslay, is 1,690 ss. 9d.
The twelfth of July .passed off with the utmost quietude
in Ireland.

The Ulster 7iirecs of Saturday announces that Dr.
Coo e, of Belfast, has seceded from the jurisdiction of the
Irish General Assembly.

REPEAL.—DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—A correspondent
of the Limerick Chronicle states, that " Ten of the
students who shouted at the repeal exhibition, when
passing Trinity college, were fined half-a-guinea each by
the boad."

Edward Rogers, Esq., of Inesinacaint, in the province
of Ulster, and an influential character amongst the me-
thodists, granted permission to the Orangemen to hoist a
flag on the methodist chapel o❑ the 12th of July, and it
accordingly floated there.
THE REPEAL BALLAD SINGERS.—THE POLICE.—
We are authorized to state that an able and experienced
attorney has kindly volunteered his services to defend any
of the repeal ballad singers whose liberties it may be at-
tempted to abridge in the exercise of a lawful calling.—
Kilkenny Journal.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—A meeting "extraordinary "
of this body was held on Saturday last, but from O'Con-
nell's long address we cannot gather that there was any
other object in the assembly being called together than to
afford the agitator an opportunity of expressing his opin-
ion on the recent Parliamentary dedate.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.—On Wedesday last, a country-
man tried to get into our barracks, but was prevented by
the sentry, who told him he could not pass. The country
fellow, turning to a by stander, observed, " I know that
sodger, and I'll soon have a shot at him."—Tipperary
Constitution.

Samuel Gray, jun., was found guilty at the Monaghan
Assizes of subornation of perjury. Although there was
no evidence produced in his defence, the jury took two
hours to consider their verdict. The everlasting case of
Samuel Gray, sen., for firing at James Cunningham, was
to take place on Saturday.
The approaching cattle show at Belfast is likely to be a
splendid affair. The Duke of Leinster, president of the
Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, is to fill the chair
at the principal dinner. The Marquis of Downshire is to
preside at the first council dinner previous to the show;
and Lord Charlemont and Lord Lurgan are named as
vice-presidents.

THE CLONES HONfICIDE.—The Monaghen grand jury
have ignored the bills returned against Mr. S. Smith, the
Sub-inspector of Police, for the murder of M'Caffrey,
the unfortunate man who lost his life in an affray arising
out of one of the repeal " demonstrations" held at Car-
rickmacross some time since. There are three of the
persons who swore against the inspector already in custody
who will be tried for perjury.

The other night, Mr. Sharman Crawford, presented a
petition from Rochdale, which he stated to be signed by
4,56-1 voters of the Borough, against the Irish Arms Bill ;
whereas, in fact there are but 900 voters in the whole of
the Borough ; and a few of them are conservatives, who
are not likely to have signed the document. The same
system of expansion seems to be adopted in England as
is resorted to in Ireland, in estimating the attendance of
repeal meetings.
On Thursday last a diabolical attempt was made to
murder Mr. Fayle, postmaster of Enniscorthy, on his
return from Carnew to that place. When Mr. Fayle was
discovered he was not dead but with great difficulty was
enabled to state that on passing a plantation on the road
side a shot was fired at him but the slugs passed through
his hat. Three men then leaped out of the wood, and he
could not say what occurred after this. The fatal wound
is from a ball in the forehead.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday,
a fine interesting youth aged eleven years, son of Mr.
Twiname, was exercising his pony in the demesne at
Castlecor ; on its hearing the approach of another horse
it became alarmed and gallopped with such velocity that
his rider could not control him, when, on passing a tree,
the lad's head came in collision with a branch, and the
crown was extensively fractured and depressed on the
brain. He survived the shock nearly an hour, but expired
just as surgeons reached.—Cork Paper.

Another of the arch-agitator's monster meetings "came
off" on Sunday week, on the hill of Ballybricken, a few
miles from the city of Waterford, the number congregated
on the occasion being, according to the local repeal paper,
600,000, and, in the estimation of the Freeman, upwards
of 300,000. The display was very similar, in its general
features, to several of the preceding demonstrations. A
procession of the trades of Waterford, with appropriate
banners, and accompanied by no less than forty Temper-
ance bands, led the way before Mr. O'Connell's carriage
from Kilmacthomas to the place of meeting, a distance of
five miles. The dinner took place afterwards in the Town-
hall. The Mayor of Waterford presided.

THE BISHOP OF CASHEL.—The Right Rev. Dr. Daly,
Bishop of Cashel and Waterhouse, has addressed a pasto-
ral letter to Sir Benjamin Morris, severely censuring the
repeal Knight for his encouragement of Sabbath desecra-
ion by his p!esence at the late " monster" demonstra-
tion near that city :—" I have now lived many years and
visited many different places (says Dr. Daly), and I never
witnessed such a scene of Sabbath desecration as in this
city yesterday, a day on which the family devotions of se
rious people were to be disturbed—on which so few of the
population could have attended their places of worship—
on which so many had their minds filled from morning till
evening with thoughts foreign to the objects of the Sab-
bath—` things below, and not things above.' I say nothing
of the especial object for which you called on the people
to desert the worship of God, and assemble in this city ;
with the political question I have nothing to do. What I
remonstrate with you for is, the wanton desecration of the
Sabbath, the presumptuous violation of a commandment
of our God."

JOSHUA JACOB AND HIS DISCIPLES.—On Thursday
morning the marshal of the Four Courts, Dublin, ap-
peared before Master Litton in consequence of a decree
served on Joshua Jacob, now in custody under a writ of
ne exeat retina, requiring him to lodge in coart a sum of
upwards of £l,OOO, and the marshal stated that Joshua
wished to have his cause pleaded by some friend. The
tenets of his religion forbad him to employ counsel or
attorney, and he wished therefore to be heard by some
friend. Master Litton expressed his readiness to hear
what Joshua Jacob could urge in defence of his conduct.
The marshal then left the office, and soon afterwards re-
turned conducting in two females attired in white, and who
were to he the advocates for the imprisoned martyr. A.
good deal of laughter arose at this circumstance, but after
a time Mrs. Ann Jacob, the sister-in-law of the prisoner,
held forth and contended that it was for the honour of
religion the property of the minors had been diverted from
their hands, and it would now be appropriated to the pur-
poses of religion. The master condemned the whole
transaction as a most unjust and discreditable one—the
taking from children a large sum of money to which they
were entitled • and the two advocates left the office, much
grieved to find that the master did not give credit to
Joshua for the goodness of his intentions.

THE IRISH " GRIEVANCES."—There seems to have
been at least one sensible man in the House of Commons
during the long debate on Mr. Smith O'Brien's motion,
if we may judge by the following letter from the honour-
able member for Westmeath, which appeared in the papers
of Thursday evening :
" I wish to explain how I came to vote in the majority
last night. I fell asleep some lime before the division
look place, and on my being awakened by some member,
as all the opposition members had already retired to their
lobby, and as I saw a large crowd going out of the door
leading to the old lobby, I thought the house had ad-
journed, and did not perceive my mistake until it was too
late to return.—l have, &c.,
" BENJAMIN CHAPMAN.

`• Reform Club, July 13."
It is true Mr. Chapman voted against his party, which
is the snore to be regretted, as he had evidently made up
his mind not to be influenced by argument ; but then he
had the personal satisfaction of not hearing the debate.
Lulled by pleasant dreams "some time before the division
took place," he escaped the boring of Barron and Roche,
and the rest of his friends, and was only awakened to the
pleasing consciousness of the talk being ended in time to
record his vote (in true Irish fashion) on the wrong side.
It would have been a boon to the public had Mr. Chap-
man's " custom always of an afternoon" been more ex.
tensively followed.

SCHEME OF CHURCH ENDOWMENT.

FRIDAY.—The following memorandum was on Friday
laid on the table of the House of Lords, to accompany
the bill " To make better provision for the cure of souls
in populous parishes :"

" In ordei• to supply an immediate fund ' to make
better provision for the spiritual care of populous pa-
rishes,' this bill enacts, that the governors of Queen
Anne's Bounty may forthwith transfer the sum of
£600,000 of their Parliamentary Grants Fund, to the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, and that this
capital stock may be used by the commissioners as in-
come, under the'schemes and Olders in Council ; the in-
tention being thus to create immediate permanent endow-
ments or augmentations to the extent of £30,000 sterling
per annum.

" To meet the clergy payments, now annually made by
the Bounty Board by means of the dividends of this stock,
the commissioners are to pay them the amount of those di-
vidends half-yearly, being relieved (so long as the divi-
dends are paid) from replacing the principal stock, unless
required to do so after 30 years.
" Power is given to the Bounty Board to lend, if they
see fit, and to the commissioners to borrow, further sums,
of the same stock, upon the same terms.
" As the security for the due pay ,gent of the dividends,
and for a return of the principal, upon a requisition after
30 years, or at any previous time if the dividends are not
regularly paid, the bill creates a mortgage upon the whole
of the property vested and to be vested in the commis-
sioners, with a simple mode of legal remedy ; and to ren-
der this security incapable of being materially reduced in
value, it guards the commissioners' powers of leasing and
alienation, by enacting that all fines and all purchase mo-
nies reeeived by them shall, unless applied in replacing
the stock, be treated as capital, and be, as soon as conve-
nient, re-invested in land.

" In order to justify the proposed arrangement, it has
been shown by careful and elaborate calculations made by
Mr. Morgan, that the revenues of the commissioners will
be sufficient, not only to redeem all the pledges already
given by their own published resolutions, and moreover
to provide for the due payment of the dividends upon the
borrowed stock, but also to take upon themselves, when
that stock shall be exhausted, the whole newly-created
perpetual annuity of £30,000.
" It has been estimated that in 1860 the probable value
of the estates already vested in the commissioners will
be above £900,000; which will purchase kassuming £9O as
the medium price of three per cent. stock) the required
perpetual annuity of £30,000.
" The pledges already given by the commissioners may
be stated as within £30,000, but say £32,000 per annum ;
and if to this be added the £lB,OOO dividends upon the
stock borrowed, the tctal additional amount of charge,
accruing by uncertain increments as to the £32,000, and
by increments of £lOOO per annum as to the £lB,OOO,
will be £50,000.

" Now, a calculation has also been made of the probable
rate at which the revenues arising to the commissioners
from corporate chapter property by reason of the suspen-
sio❑ of cannonries will increase ; and the result is, that
an income may be safely expected from this source,
amounting in 1860, to £42,000 per annum, and reaching
that point by considerable, though, of course, uncertain
increments.

" It only therefore remains to provide at that date
£BOOO per annum more from other sources, and to show
that the increments by which the whole £50,000 per
annum will accrue, will meet the intermediate demand.
The estates now vested in the commissioners are
about one-third part in the number of the whole; and
this proportion has fallen in eight years—viz, since the
passing of the first suspension act, in 1835.
" All the appointments to prebends, &c., by the vacancy
of which these estates fall in, having, of course, been
made prior to that date, it may not unreasonably be ex-
pected that at least, another third part, probably a much
larger proportion, will fall during the interval between
this time and 1860.

" To this it may be added, that although about one-
third part in number, the estates fallen do not amount to
that proportion in value ; and moreover, that besides those
upon lease, which alone form the subject of Mr. Morgan's
" And again, the proceeds of sinecure rectories, already
aciarlecaudlaytipori, oidtoheeinregale347ompeeersatnatneosma.ctually in hand, and
amounting to £2400 per annum, and ultimately estimated
at above 1;14,000, should be taken into account.

" It might be deemed a sufficient answer to this possible

being the

of
objection to say, that it is enough for the present purpose
to show such a value of the property at the given date,
designating as it does the market price of the reversion,
as would enable the commissioners, if their actual avail-
able income from general sources should not then amount
to the required sum, to raise, by mortgage, whatever may
be wanted within the extent of the computed value.;. but
is it not necessary to rest solely on this answer,
it the
following further observations be well founded. " It is hoped that the commissioners, in dealing with
all the property vested in them, will feel the advantage of
leaving the questions of tenure and management entirely
open and unfettered by any strict rules. There will be
under such a course of proceeding various modes by which,
especially by their combined use, the reversionary value
may in reasonable time be converted into an available
income, without any improvident alienation or waste of
church property, and without forcibly disturbing the
present system of the tenures, or violating the just claims
of the lessees.
" It may sometimes be for the convenience of a lessee
to purchase the reversion ; and if a sufficient offer be
made it might be deemed right to accept it, under the re-
striction of treating the purchase money as capital ; its
re-investment in land at rack-rent, and in stock AD
INTERIM, will thus at once produce income proportionate
to the full amount of the value of the reversionary interest
sold. Or a similar result might be arrived at by the lessee
joining with the commissioners in a sale to some third
party desirous of possessing the property as contiguous to
his own, or for some other reason ; the purchase money
being apportioned, and the share of the commissioners
being in like manner invested as capital.
" Again, a lessee may be willing to part with his interest
at a fair price; and in such a case the money received for
the reversionary interest of estate A (subject to a lease
terminable at a remote and uncertain period), might b
into be
paid for the leasehold interest in estate B (perhaps simi-
larly situated), which would thus be brought
posses-
sion, and might be let at rack rent.
" Virtually the same result, namely, converting the re-
versionary interest into annual income, would be obtained
by renewing the lease, and investing the fine.
" Although, therefore, the estimate has been founded
