fl,g in favour of Mr. Smith O'Brien and Young Ireland.
From this position the party cannot recede—and with this
imprerssion abroad, the public were fully prelared for the

outbreak of the smnnldering embers of discord which took
plac- on Monday. Mr. J. O'Dowd, barrister, was called to
the chair. Mr. Ray read a long letter fri.m Mr. O'Con-
nell, upon the subject of the second reading of the Coer-

eton Bill, Which is fixed by Sir R. Peel for Monda.% , the
25th, the Queel,'s birthday, or at least the day on which
that event is to be celebrated. After which the hon. and

-rqurnces o! such a measure upon the properties of the
Irish landlords, whom he thus emphatically warns :—" let

but'the landowners of Ireland recollect that if the poor-
law relief be extended at all, it can have no practical or
rational limit, until it comprises all the pauper population ;
—a population at some times of the year, amounting to a
quantity of destitution c•irnprising more than 2,300,00(1
&in's • and for the entire year tieing never less than
1,500,000. Such are the burdens, landowners of Ireland !
yin, in your foolish resistance to the repeal of the union,
will necessarily impose upon yourselves. To be sure you
can in the meantime indulge your contemptuous disregard
for the wretches liable to the clearance system ; you can
also indulge your feelings of bigotry against your Roman
Catholic fellow•countrymen. You can revel in the en-
joyment of many a bad passion ; but the avenger is at
hand—the sweeping, the all-comprehensive poor-law is
approaching—an increase of the numbers and an augmen
tation of the authority of the poor-law cooanissioners—
insolent dominati,m ! are rendered by your apathy and
va•sions inevitable!" Mr. Doheny handed in £2l from
Liverpool ; £2l) from Clonmel, received from the Rev.
Dr. Burke, P. P.; and also £lO from Clonteel, received
by another parish priest. He was proceeding to read the
letters in which the latter sums were inclosed, and which
warmly approved of the conduct of Mr. Smith O'Brien.
—Mr Clements rose to order.—No letter should be read
that was not submitted to the approval of the committee.
Mr. Doheny asked was this association a place in which
public opinion should be enshrined (great uproar).—After
a good deal of argument between the gentlemen of the.
cotton ittee—the O'Connellites being opp-sed to Mr. Do-
heny's views, the Young frelanders stubbornly in favour,
Mr. Doheny read the letters, which elicited loud cheers
from the body of the hall. The rent was announced to be
£l4B 18s. Id.
