o'clock in the afternoon, intending to sail up

the river to Burgh Castle, for a little recreation. On ar-
riving somewhere between the half-mile point on Brey-
don and the boarded Bank, a blast, termed by seamen
Roger's blast,” sprang momentarily up ; two sails were
at this time up, whichi they commenced taking in ; all
their efforts, however, were unavailing as the boat ran
down head foremost. Two of them tried to swim to
shore but sunk in the middle of the channel. A third
sunk close by the boat, and the fourth clang to the main-
mast, and was saved—the water not being deep enough

'.arlicitor Mr. Kemmis was also in attendance; the
counsel who appeared on behalf of the traversers was 5
Colman O'Loghlen.
The Chief Justice said, Mr. Attorney-General dolt
move anything? The Attorney-General—my lords to
the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others, if,l
gentlemen at the other side intend to argue the writ:{
error, as the replication which we have put in on bebat
of the crown is in the nature of a demurrer, we beet
a right to commence, and my learned friend the Solicitor'
General will argue it.
Sir Colman O'Loghlen said it was quite true as state&
that the replication put in by the crown was in the nature
of a demurrer. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., who was with biin
(Sir Colman O'Loghlen) in the case did not .mean,„
argue it, they would suffer judgment to go by default 0
their only object was to have the judgment of the cool
pro forma upon the subject, the question intended to be
raised was the samens had already been decided against
the traversers by the court, when the plea in abatement
was under discussion, stud they (the traversers count'
would not presume to trintble their lordships with a meterepetition of the arguments which had then been nrM
without success.
The CHIEF JUSTICE.—Very well, then, let judgment
be entered for the Crown. Mr. Attorney-General do yon
move any thing else.
The Attorney-General bowed, and having no further
application to make, in a few minutes withdrew.
In a few minutes after, the Chief Justice, addressiot

league

The learned gentleman stated he should attend 10
its being duly entered, and then the subject dropped.
As term expired on Wednesday. this is probably the
last time the case will be mentioned in court. The pro-
ceedings, which though almost unintelligible to civilians,
nevertheless were looked on with a considerable degree
of interest. It seems that it was necessary to have $
formal decision of the court upon the matters brought
before them by the writ at' error, coram nobis, before the/
could appear regularly on the record, and be submitted to
the final decision of the House of Lords.

Dublin Evening Mail of Monday, in reference r
this motion, says—" Another scene of the farce—for !t
does not deserve the name of drama—was enacted dos
day in the Court of Queen's Bench, as will be seen fro!
the following report ; but we only hope the managers 011
have the courage to bring out the whole piece at the great
theatre in Westminster—the Peers and Judges being the
audience, and we undertake that the thing will be &mooA
off-hand, and after the conclusion of the first act."
A most numerous meeting of the Repeal Associaboo
was held on Monday at the Conciliation Hall, Burgh
Quay, Lord French in the chair. No endeavour had beta
spared to give it eclat, in fact such were the exertion°
made during the week by the priests, backed by Of
Repeal rent, to make the unfortunate peasantry bring i"
the Repeal rent nolens volens, that the landlords of Ira'
land will stand a very indifferent chance of getting ~,111
theirs next November, the poor dupes being forced 11"
bring into market, at no matter what sacrifice, produ°'
which would otherwise be kept over until an advantageotl
price could be obtained. The meeting was not over tot°
a very late hour. The room was crowded to suffocation;
probably there never was so large and formidable a meet'
ing of the Association. The Repeal rent amounted t°
upwards of X 3,200.

Loss OF A VESSEL AND ALL HANDS.--A letter in the
Cork Reporter of Thursday last, announces the total 100
of the John, of 'Dunboy, on the previous day, on the Loa
Rock of Reagrove, and all hands perished.
SUDDEN DEA•rn:--:-On Thursday week, as the Afal°l
of Limerick was entering the Exchange, for the puriArr
of holding a meeting, 'Sympathising with the state 01;
soners, he fell down in a fit of apoplexy, and soon after
ceased to live. He is represented as a gentleman of 00'
excellent character.

THE " REPEAL 13 urroN."--Peremptory orders have
been issued by the authorities to deny all access throng°
Dublin Castle-yard to persons decorated with the " Be'
peal button," which has been very freely sported in tow°
by the lower orders since Mr. O'Connell's temporarl
retirement from public life. The " orders," it is said•
were read at parade last Sunday ; and two or three ardeol
Repealers have complained of summary expulsion froo3
the Castle by the military placed on duty there.
PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES STOPPED.—The cora'
mittee of the Richmond Penitentiary have put a stop t°
the influx of deputations which were daily crowding to
the presence of Mr. O'Connell and his friends. Had the
majority of the addresses already presented been free from
improper charges against the government and the law au-
thorities, it is said the committee would not have inter-
fered. On Tuesday the resolution of the prison authori-
ties was put in force on the occasion of a deputation from
the county Limerick, with Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., at
their head, demanding admittance to the presence of Mr.
O'Connell. Having received this intelligence the depu-
tation withdrew very much chap-fallen.

DESPERATE AFFRAY.—A hurling match on a large
scale took place on Sunday week in afield near A rdarostig.
about three miles south-west of the town of Cork. The
parties were the men of Blackrock and St. Barry's on tilt;
one side, and those of Ballinora on the other. An lin'
mense concourse of spectators were on the ground. In'
little time a riot occurred amongst those who had the ar-
rangement of the course; this soon included the hurlers,
and completely changed the character of the game. Stones
were flung, and burleys and sticks used, even the women
joining in the melee, and the place soon presented
aspect of a general battle. Great numbers were maimed
and wounded on both sides, and the affair terminated
after about an hour and a half's hostilities, by the retreat
of the townsmen. A decent person named O'Brien, vcr
was a looker on, had his head laid open by a blow 0' :/1
stone, and was borne senseless from his assailants, and
many others received desperate wounds and contusions'
The number of persons congregated together has been
estimated at from five to six thousand.
