I R E ii AND

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The usual weekly meeting of this association was held
on Monday.
A contribution of £270 was handed in from New-
foundland, and a vote of thanks was passed to Dr.
Fleming, the Roman Catholic bishop of the island, for
his exertions in support of repeal.
Several other letters were then read, enclosing sub-
s,riptions, and in one of them a reference was made to
I the exercise of the royal authority against repeal.
Mr. O'Connell said that the writer was mistaken, and
I he wished it to be generally understood that there was no
royal authority against the repeal ; it was a ministerial
authority, and, as a composition, it deserved to be cha-
racterised as it had been by the Morning Chronicle, as
" the essence of stupidity and insolence." He then stated
that several letters had been received, complaining of the
delay which had taken place in carrying the report of the
arbitrators' committee into operation. He trusted all the
necessary forms would very shortly be perfected.
Dr. Gray could answer that everything would be ready
on Wednesday.
Mr. O'Connell next entered on an explanation of the
plan brought forward last week for re-organising the Irish
parliament, a"d announced as a "next step" towards the
completion of that plan the appointment of district repeal
wardens of the towns of Ardee and Arklow, for the purpose
of ascertaining and reporting the number of householders
resident therein for the last six mooths—the number of
married men, not being householders—and the number of
repealers. He wanted to make those district repeal war-
dens a sort of returning officers, and if they succeeded in
these two towns, they would take the rest of the cities
and towns seriatim. After some remarks as to the neces-
sity of proceeding with slowness and caution,
The Hon. Gentleman said that he now came to a sub-
ject which was of too much importance not to be treated
with all possible deliberation and deference—he alluded to
the topics arising ont of the speech, reported to have been
delivered by her Majesty, on the prorogation of parlia-
ment. He could not help observing that the Queen's
speech was the ministers'—(hear, hear)—and that it was
no more her speech than it was his. (Hear.) The senti-
ments if contained were those of her ministry, and he
wished this to be distinctly understood in Ireland, because
he was desirous of counteracting the incitement to disaf-
fection, of which the ministers had been guilty, by putting
forth such a speech. A more traitorous project had never
been concocted than by putting such a speech into her
Majesty's mouth, and thereby endeavouring to sever the
affections of the Irish people from their venerated Sove-
reign (hear ) Affection was the best protection and preser-
vative of allegiance, and that affection the ministers at-
tempted to destroy. That any party should have the
daring profligacy to strive to weaken their love and vene-
ration for their Queen, was an extent of guilt of which he
did not think that even the present ministry would incur
the guilt. They (the Repealers) were aecused of disaffec-
tion and discontent, but he wished to consider on whose
side the incitement to disaffection was. (Hear, hear.)
He denied there was disaffection among the Irish people
he admitted there was discontent, and that discontent
would continue till justice was done to their country. To-
morrow he would vindicate the people from the imputation
of being guilty in their discontent, by showing that if not
discontented they would be the most degraded of human
beings. (Cheers.)

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

The rent for t'he week was then announced to be
£1,380 is. 4d., and the meeting adjourned.

At the adjourned meeting on Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell
proceeded on the well-understood plan of denouncing the
royal speech as the speech of ministers and not of the
Queen. Of course it is. But equally of course the
Queen herself pronounced it in person in the House of
Lords. She need not have done so had she objected to
its policy, and Mr. O'Connell, while he sophisticates it
away, and declares his resolution to proceed with the
" pernicious agitation," evidently feels his more difficult
position in consequence. But Protestants must also
avail themselves of the additional strength which this
constitutional document affords to them, while it embar-
rasses the conspirators. The speech will avail little with-
out truly loyal organisation and action.

MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thurs-
day, at noon, at Manchester. The total receipts for the
half year were £52,118. Os. Bd. the expenses and interest
amounted to £22,562. Is. Od. leaving a balance of
£22,562. Id. A dividend of £l5 per share, less income
tax, was declared.

It is, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of rail-
ways that so many special trains passed and repassed as
did on Monday last on the South-Western, when the last
of the summer excursion trips round the Isle of Wight
took place, and when her Majesty and attendants pro-
ceeded to Southampton. There were four each way,
making eight in addition to the 27 (goods' trains included)
which are regularly dispatched, and which at this season
of the year are unusually heavy.
How, AND SELBY RAILWAY.—The half yearly meet-
ing of the Hull and Selby Railway Company was held at
Hull on Monday. The report showed that during the
last six months, as compared with the corresponding
period of 1842, the passengers had fallen off to the large
number of 23,058. although the receipts from that source
had diminished by only £932. 19s. 11d. ; whereas on the
goods' traffic there bad been an increase of upwards of
£l,OOO. It appeared, also. that there had been a consi-
derable reduction in the Company's expenditure. The
Report was adopted, and a dividend declared of 20s per
share, which is after the rate of £4 per cent, per annum
on the subscribed capital.

The Marquis of Londonderry has addressed a letter to
the Irish papers, stating that he looks with great anxiety
and dismay" to the general meeting of Protestants in Bel-
fast on the 7th inst.

The custom-house officers at Derry made a seizure last
week of nearly 5001 b of gunpowder, which were brought
from Glasgow, packed in a hogshead so as to resemble
sugar.

A new repeal cap, of black velvet, lined with green, and
and modeled from an ancient Irish crown, has been pub-
lished by a Dublin artist, and is recommended to the re-
peaters for general adoption, instead of the puritanical
English felt hat.
The Kilkenny Journal says that Mr. Fayle who was
fired at recently near Eniscorthy, is so much improved in
health as to be able to walk about, though his intellect is
affected to such an extent that he cannot divest him-
self of the idea that he is living in the Town of Borris.
THE MURDER OF LORD NORBURY.—Peter Dolan, late
of Durrow, in the King's County, was on Wednesday
fully committed by Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon to Kilmainham,
for transmission to Tullamoore gaol, in order to take his
trial at next assizes there for the murder of the late
lamented Lord Norbury.

LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—The
half yearly meeting of this company was held on Wed-
nesday. The revenue account showed an increase of
£1,893 2s. Ild. over the corresponding period of last
year. The receipts for the half year were £150,351 12s. 10d.,
and the expenditure amounted to £85,213 45. 2d., added
to which a sum of £15,827 2s. 3d. for debenture bond in-
terest, and interest on Gosport branch shares, left a
balance of £69,386 ls. Ild. available for the dividend of
305., subject to income tax. This required a sum of
£68,812 3s. 10d., leaving £573 18s. l ld. to the credit of
next account. An advance of £1 per share by the pro-
prietors was agreed to for the purpose of securing the
continental traffic at Southampton, by the employment
of a number of additional steamers.

A list of the various repeal meetings held in Ireland,
from March 19th to August lbth, with the numbers at-
ter ding each, as reported by the repeal journals, has
been published in the Times, from which it appears that
the total number of persons who are said to have attended
these meetings is 8,610,000.
Mr. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New
York Herald, has addressed a letter to the Times, in
which he says that the reason why he was recently treated
by O'Connell in such an extraordinary way at the Cern'
Exchange was because he (Mr. Bennett) contributed,
through his paper, to stop the " rent" that was expected
from America.

DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.—The half-yearly
meeting of this company was held in Dublin, on Monday
last. The directors still adhere to the opinion that the
entire cost of the line would not exceed £14,000 per mile.
About November four miles of the permanent way would
be completed between Raheny and Malahide, and the di-
rectors confidently expect that the entire line will be
opened in May next. The directors recommend the
meeting to authorise them to employ their engineer in re-
vising the survey he made some time ago, of the country
between Drogheda and Belfast, with the view of making
preliminary arrangements for an extension line to Belfast.
Mr. Kidd, the secretary, read a statement of the ac-
counts, by which it appeared that the total receipts of the
half year were £102,888, and the expenditure £94,921 ;
leaving a balance of £7,966. The recommendations of
the report were carried.

His Excellency the Earl de Grey, Lord Lieutennant of
Ireland, with the Countess de Grey and suit sailed from
Kingstown, Dublin, on Friday evening week, and arrived
a; the noble Earl's Family manson in St. James.s square
last saturday afternoon. His Excellency is not expected
to return to Ireland for six or seven weeks ; but will visit
Buxton for the waters prior to the assembling of the noble
Earl's Regiment of Yorkshire Hussars, for their annual
training and inspection, in the first week of October.
THE ANTI-REPEAL MEETING OF BELFAST.—The
noblemen and gentlemen concerned in this meeting have
decided on postponing it. The firm tone adopted by her
Majesty, and a consideration of the extent to which mi-
nisters are thereby pledged to protect and support the
well-affected people of Ireland at the present crisis, has
produced this effect by inducing them—
" To forego the meeting fixed for the ith of September,
lest the Protestants of Ulster should be charged by their
enemies, however unjustly, as the cause of continuing po-
litical agitation."
The reasons which led to this determination are worthy
of the Protestants of Ulster, and we particularly call at-
tention to one of those reasons, exhibiting as it does in
a strong light the difference between the loyalty of the
two classes into which the people of Ireland are now di-
vided. The fourth resolution of the Protestant gentlemen
of Ulster declares as follows

FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

(From the " London and_ Paris Ladies' Magazine of

Fashion.")

Dresses of clear materials have been made of a plain
transparent organdy and bareges salinees, with the single
tuck and sleeves bouillonn4 from the top to the elbow ;
the corsage full and a cceur.

In the redingote style the corsage Josephine is much
approved ; it is half-high behind, and open in front en
cceur to the waist. The corsage ala Lucrece resembles
those a la vierge, and are also in favour ; the one is made
with runners at the top and waist, the other with straight
shculder straps ; the bottom, if of thick material, is with
nervures, but with fulness a little spread if it is thin.
White barege of a fine texture is fashionable for peignoirs
lined with pink or blue sarcenet ; also for petiles soirees,
trimmed with two or three deep flounces en biais, edged
with a narrow fringe or festonnes in a straight fsslon.
Peignoirs of coutil are made with a plain piece on the top
of the body forming a point which descends to the waist.
Dresses of lilac silk open in front over white silk, and
lacing across the whole length with lilac cord confined by
buttons, have been much approved ; the body is high and
pointed, with lacings at the sides. Pelerines and canne-
zous have of late been increasing in favour, but there is a
change in the form ; instead of being joined behind, the
seam is on the shoulder, and is so cut as to avoid the
defect observable in the old ones. The fichus bonne
femme are also a little different ; they do not conceal the
figure so much, and are trimmed with three and four
rows of broad lace.

" 4. That, while we adhere to the opinions detailed in
our resolutions of the 24th of July last, and feel that we
were then called on to give expression to them in the
manner proposed, we are desirous that, as the advocates
of repeal are without any excuse for their past agitation,
they shall hereafter have no pretext for any act of ours'
however constitutional, for continuing a system of agi-
tation which has been now so explicitly condemned by
their Sovereign."

THE WELSH OUTRAGES.—Friday's Police Gazette
contains the offer of a reward of £5OO for the discovery
of the persons who, on the night of the 23rd ult., at-
tacked the house of Mr. John Edwards, of Gallyvvernen,
in the parish of Llanon, in the county of Carmarthen,
and maliciously fired therein, and also did much damage
to the house and premises adjoining.

STATE OF SOUTH WALES.—The farmers during the
past week have held several meetings, at which they have
declaimed against tithes, turnpike trusts, and the new poor
law. On Friday week the Rebeccaites destroyed the
Glangwilly gate, near Carmarthen, and levelled the house
to the ground, the walls and roof falling upon and destroy-
ing the little stock-in-trade of Daniel Joshua, a book-
binder. Four of the rioters were identified by. Joshua at
a subsequent examination before the magistrates, and they
were committed for trial at the next assizes, on a charge
of felony. A. temporary shed was erected for the pur-
poses of the collector, but the Rebeccaites set to work
and chopped up the remaining fragment, which they then
burnt oh the Sunday after their previous depredation.
The mayor and. magistrates having received information
that the rioters intended to attack Prendergast gate, near
Havefordwest, determined to defend the gate with Consta-
bles, having cavalry and marines iri reserve in case of
need. The following description of the scene which took'
place we take from the Carmarthen Journal of Saturday
last :—" Onward they came, " Beeca" leading the' van,'
some fifty yards in advance, with, twice-barrel gun in

Pailles de riz and lace are still the prettiest wear for
dress bonnets. Capotes made with the fronts of paille
de riz and crowns of poult de soie are very fashionable
for morning wear; a wreath of field daisies or heart's-
ease may be added, but not ruches, which are rather gone
by, and no ribbon is required but for strings. Deep veils
are gradually superseding the vollettes; many already
reach to the waist, and some even to the knees. Capoles
of crape or organdy are very pretty with these long veils
of very fine plain tulle, merely finished with a broad hem.
A novel style for cannezous and, morning caps is an em-
broidery of very fine braid in flu d'Ecosse, so fine and so
well executed that it has the effect of rich embroidery ;
for the crowns of caps it is done on muslin intermixed
with open stitches. The new cap, "a la plus belle," is
composed of three folds at the back of the head, without
trimming or ribbon, and having neither ribbon nor lap-
pets to fasten ; it is confined by two pearl pins, which
sometimes support flowers.
Mittens of watered silk, lacing at the sides, and trimmed
with narrow ribbon a la vieille, are quite the rage at Paris.

NARROW Esc &PE.—Near Renfrew an unloaded waggon,
containing the driver and his three young children, was
standing adjoining some homely houses. The horse was
exhibiting symptoms of impatience, by throwing up his
head, and ever and anon clamping heavily on the ground
with his near hind foot, as the tiny curly-headed cargo
" wo-wo-woed," skirled and shouted in elfish merriment.
The father, after chatting to a neighbour or two began to
spoil the sport of the children by seizing the eldest and
handing him out to the care of the neighbours. The se-
cond was being served in the like manner, when the third
and yOungest, a girl between two and three years of age,
crept towards the front of the waggon, and when the
father turned round to take his darling in his arms he was
horrified at seeing the child, through a widened spar, fall
right under the raised foot of the impatient horse ! The
father's eye dimmed, and his frame and features shunk in
spasmodic sympathy. The hoof descended—but, p !
guided by a higher power, it descended lightly, feeling
something soft and yielding, the animal moved the iron-
shod toe on the infant's back, as if to ascertain the nature
of the unusual substance. A movement of the infant, or
some hidden apprehension, filled the horse with alarm—a
tremor seized his limbs, and with cowering haunches and
twitching flanks, he raised the hoof, poised it for half a
second, and, in maddening terror, sent it again and again
thundering downwards, but not before the timely rush of
a neighbour had providentially snatched the uninjured
infant from her awful position, and was bearing her in
triumph to her mother's arms.—Glasgow Reortner.

THE COURT.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, after having visited,
on Wednesday, Ventnor, Shanklin Chine, Blackgang
Chine, Freshwater, and other places at the back of the
Isle of Wight, proceeded onward in the yacht to the west-
ward along the coast. Between five and six o'clock the
Royal yacht let go her anchor in Portland roads.

. .
As soon as the Royal standard was seen approaching
the shore, the whole town was on the qui vive, everybody
anxiously hoping that her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albest were about to honour Weymouth with
a visit, but the Royal party did not land.

At six o'clock on Wednesday morning the yacht and
the other steamers got under weigh, and proceeded down
Channel. It was a beautifully fine morning, and, not-
withstanding the early hour at which the Royal voyagers
proceeded on their course, numbers of boats had put off
from the shore, filled with persons hoping that by ap-
proaching the yacht they might be able to obtain a glimpse
of her Majesty and Prince Albert ere they took their de-
parture.
The Royal yacht hove in sight of Plymouth at five
o'clock on the afternoon, and proceeded, at a reduced
speed, to Barn Pool, and there anchored. On nearing
Mill Bay her Majesty was seen on deck with Prince Al-
bert, who seemed to be directing her attention to the
crowds of people hastily following the course of the yacht.
Her Majesty did not land, but dined and slept on board.
At an early hour on Thursday morning, the royal party
landed at Mount Edgecumbe, and walked for some time
in the groves and gardens there. Prince Albert. attended
by the naval authorities, proceeded, in one of the barges
belonging t.) the royal yacht, to the dockyard, and after-
wards to the victualling establishment, and inspected the
various departments of both those establishments. Her
Majesty held a levee on board the Victoria and Albert,
which was attended by Lord Haddington, the Hon. Syd-
ney Herbert, Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Hon. G.
L. Corry, Lord Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, &c.
Among the presentations to her Majesty were Sir Samuel

men, and council of Plymouth ; and all the officers:in
command of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Sound
and the harbour, the captain of the Neapolitan frigate La
Regina, &c.
Soon after three o'clock, the Queen and Prince Albert
landed, and were received by the naval authorities of the
dockyard, and by General Murray, the military com-
mander-in-chief of the district, who was attended by a
very numerous body of officers, all mounted. Her Ma-
jesty and the Prince, having taken their seats in one of
the royal carriages, which was an open one, drawn by
four horses, immediately left the dockyard, escorted by
the general and his staff. As soon as the Queen and
Prince Albert made their appearance outside the dock-
yard gates, they were received with enthusiastic cheering
by the assembled multitude. The first carriage was oc-
cupied solely by the Queen and Prince Albert; the others
contained Lord Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, and
others of the household. The royal cortege, after passing
through Devonport, was met at the boundary of the bo-
rough of Plymouth by the mayor and corporate officers,
who preceded her Majesty through the streets leading to
the Hoe, and returned thence by nearly the same route
to the borough boundary on the Stonehouse Mill-bridge,
where the authorities of Plymouth took their leave.
After leaving Plymouth the procession returned through
Devonport, headed by the mayor, to the dockyard, where
her Majesty re-embarked, and went on board the
yacht.

- Her Majesty remained a short time on board, and the
royal party then went to view that stupendous national
work, the breakwater, upon which they landed and re-
mained some time ere they returned to the yacht. In the
evening there were bonfires and fireworks and all sorts of
rejoicing, in consequence of the visit of the Queen and
Prince Albert. The column on Mount Wise was illumi-
nated, and looked very splendid. But by far the most
magnificent sight of the whole was afforded by the men-
of-war in the Sound. At nine o'clock, when the gun fired,
the whole of them manned their yards, each man having
a blue light in his hand. Few who have not witnessed
an illumination of this description on board a man-of-war
can form an adequate idea of its splendour.

HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION.—When the Royal
cortege arrived at the Royal Pier on Monday, an inter-
esting circumstance occurred, which enabled the Queen
to have an instance of ready loyalty of the Southampton
Mayor and corporation. From some cause the Royal
yacht had not been brought close to the pier by the time
the Royal party arrived, and it became necessary for her
Majesty to go into the barge to be pulled two or three

that, however, left the stage so wet and dirty, especially
as it was raining at the time, that the Earl of Hadding-
ton exclaimed, "We must get some covering for the
stage" (which was being used between the Queen's car-
riage and the steps). Nothing could be obtained, and her
Majesty waiting to alight, the members of the corpora..
tion, like so many Raleighs, stripped off their robes of
office in a moment, from which those of the mayor and

and crossed over to Treport. During that day the royal
party visited Falmouth, and was waited upon in her course
along the coast by the Mayors and Corporations of Ply-
mouth, Penryn, and Truro, who put off in boats to wait
upon her Majesty.

The particulars of her Majesty's arrival in France will
be found in our last page.

The Prince of Wales and his royal sister are at Brigh-
ton, in charge of the Dowager Lady Lyttleton.
The Queen Dowager continues in the enjoyment of im-
proved health, at Witley Court, Worcestershire, and daily
takes drives in the neighbourhood. Their Royal High-
nesses the Duchess of Kent and Duchess of Gloucester
are expected, in the course of next week, to arrive on a
visit of several days to the Dowager Queen, when a select
party will assemble to meet their Royal Highnesses.
Lord Brougham arrived at Brougham Hall, in West-
moreland, last week, after a short visit to his Grace the
Duke of Cleveland, at Raby Castle.

The preliminaries have been arranged for a marriage
between the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke and
Duchess of Richmond, and the accomplished Miss Grey-
ille, eldest daughter of Mr. Algernon Greville, private
secretary to the Duke of Wellington.
The inhabitants of Hamilton, Bothwell, and the sur-
rounding district, are at present all on tiptoe in expecta-
tion of the arrival, at Hamilton Palace, of the Marquis
of Douglas and his young and beautiful spouse, her
Serene Highness the Princess Mary of Baden. Prepara-
tions on an extensive and most liberal scale are making
in the vicinity of the palace for the entertainment of the
tenantry and others, who are to take part in the proceed-
ings on the day of the arrival of the noble pair, which, it
is expected, may be on Friday or Saturday next.
