The Citholin Association met on Saturday, at their
'Rooms-in Cspt4 Street. At_ half pest 3 o'clock,
Clinch, Esq. ueaballed to the Chair.' • . .
The proceedinee of the Jut day of Meeting were read
by Mr. OVorman.
Mr. O'Connell stated, that having given notice of

Thanks to the Author of a Pamphlet, called a Irladica-
don of the Catholicsof Ireland. ' • -
There could be•no differesce of opinion as to the merit '
of the Pamphlets or the talent displayed by the writer.—
. His method • gave his orgamia-nts distinctness ; he had re-'
fitted the charges brondlmt ;against the Catholics by the
Orange Press a Mobilo. whenever it rose from its habitnal
liilhngsgate. He Ilea selected four different charges,
sad ably refuted them. He bad also referred to the recent,

slavish ;• bat that. could not be Anti-Christian with
which Christianity began. Another charge was,
that it tended to overthrow the Establish. d Re-
HOGG. This also was folly met and ably refuted.—
'lithe% he said, bad no claimm to be called a divine
right, they were merely a hsuian Institution ; and the
Irish Clergy, before the !tallish Invnsion. were well sup-
ported wit out tithes. The ala charge against the
Catholics yea, that they were easily instigated to rebellion
and tosetterapt the overthrow of the Constitution.

In en order to 't get another chapter of the Set imam"—
peaephiette which i he Called theatteation of the Meeting
not beers aosweredt could not be answered.--Then
eneaten Maths Mould not avoid mentioning ; It was, that
the writer had thrown him (Mr. O'Connell) into one sentence
of it; *Orange Press would, of course, ridicule him (Mr.
O'Connell) for it; as he praised the pamphlet, perhaps it was
a fetreabj.et for ridicule ; but if he bad the approbation of
such a man as Doctor Doyle, he Gould well afford to meet the
abuse of the Orange Press.—lt bad been suggested to him. 1
that the Association should purchase a lumberer copies of the
pamphlet, and circulate them; be was, however, againitthat ;
the first edition of the pamphlet had been already bought up,
;.nd its merit was such, litat any effort of that nature would be
family, aunecessary.
Mr. O'Connell concluded by moviag the resolution, which
was wooded by Luke Pluaket, Esq.—lt passed unani-
mously.
dlr. O'Connell then drew the attention of the Meetincto
the motion, relative to the appointment of a Committee for
the purchase of ground. to be seed as burial ground, where
the Catholic dead might be free from insult, of which mo-
tion he had previously Fivon notice. He had looked into
the several Acts of Paritamenr, and hat ascertained that
there was no law against IL The 'monies attending
burials were at present very considerable ; the fees paid at
the interment otitis late Mr. D'Arcy, to whose rentmosthe
insult was offered, were nearly ten pounds. It would thus
be seen that an immense quantity of lunacy, Catholic pro-
perty, was thus bestowed on men, who, to say the least,
were certainly not their friends. The expense attending
funerals would by this mode be materially diminished. and
the money given to other persons. could be appropriated
to the education of Catholic children, or be given to ;biotic
charities. It would *be only necessary that any ground
which they might ta,ce for the purpose, should be outside
titc preciocts of the Town. It was not sot his wish that
they should hare separate burying grounds, or that any
ground they should take should be mulsidered exclusively
Cattliplic.They did aet want to be separated from their pro-
b*ant fellow countrymen in this world, and it was his stn.
cele wish that the Protestants should be united t 3 them
le the nest. Their only object was to have a plane
or Interment livelier' the Catholic dead shoold be
Orfectly free from %shit. There we'll but use
ittattite-law on the subject, and that was a dead letter.
It related only to so pressed Monasteries. A gentleman
had waited on him, (Mr. O'Connell,) and mentioned that
fee had twenty acres of eclat:inns .neer Clendalkin, which
be was willing to dispose of. There might be an attached
Chapel, and the burying ground would support it. He
lead no doubt bat that sixty or seventy subscribers would
soon be found, who Would subscribe fifty pounds each to
purchase this ground, and enclose it by a high wall. It
would ultimately repay them their money with large inte-
rest. By this means a fend might be raised for charitable
purposes, as the expenses attending burials would be con-
siderably less than they are at present. He was convinced
that ten dines thesum required to carry the plan into effect
putt easily be procured. Hirt a .single parish, hetwee
two :Ad three thousand a year wait paid in fore 'dental)
buria!s, th-y might or an estimate of
.what they coal
sceOdoplisit in this manner. It would also have the effect of
putting an end! to irritation on this subject. It was curious
to consider how the right td thoser fees exist. In Church
Yards to which Monasteries were attached, it bad been the
custom to leave money for- Masses ; but at the tithe of • the
Iteformatiou, they abolished ss hat . they. termed the softer-1
stition of the Masses ; but the m,,ney was, no; given (Li),

Mr. O'ConntH then moved, that a Committee Mitre*
should be appointed for the purpose of procuring bitry-
ing grounds, where the Catholic dead should be free from
Insult. •
Thfs Resolution was seconded by Mr, Conway. • •
Mr. Luxe Paustker ,styted. that the wenduot• of Dr.

Wellesley; and be considered the question •of.such import-

occurred in the Diocese of Cloyne,
Mr. PLUNICET still considered the question too import;
ant to be hastily disposed of ; be therefore moved as na
amendment, 'that the consderation of the Resoled**
should be adjourned for one month.
...This Ariien,lment was not seconded. .
The original motion was then put and carried, with the
disesuileot voice of Mr, I'lunicet.

Tnc Jury, after some deilberation, r, tamed a vardiattba

An eztraordioary inieStigation teak plaee on' Tuesfiay midis
leg last, before T. Stirling, Coroaer. at the Berkeley Metal
Cranford bridge, respecting the death of a female, mood
Mary Ovule.
From the evidence it .appeared; that deceased had lately Bien
much troabled with a great swelling on the side of her 014,
and had applied to several professional persons In the village
eine its environs to afford her some relief, but every mesas they
resorted to proved ineffectual. Sl,e complained of the violent
Sony she felt in consequence of the swelling, and it tax ire:.
werally supposed by her relatives and friends that it had.mrite-
flatly injured her intellects. Oo Saturday morning the onfor
gloats woman was visited by her daughter; she was then in
hod, and observed site had passed a very restless night. She,
however, requested her daughter would bring her up a razor to
cut her nails. The daughter comp led with her desire, uncon-
scious what her intention at the moment was. The poor wo-
man, on seeing the razor her daughter had brought, threw it at
her, bid her go down stairs and bring up a white handled one.
The daughter did so, and gave herthe razor, and again left the
moons. She tied been down stairs but a few relents, when inn-
Sher person went into the room, and there saw the unfortunate
woman weltering in her blood, from a large wound which she
had ',Meted on the swelling, the white handled razor lying he.

since. applied to one of the surgeons, and requested he wdultt
mitt the swelling, by which means she conceived'ehe should ots,-.
lain relief. Tee surgeon. however, assured her bitch an opera-
Owl was impossible to be performed, and she returned home id

tithe satisfied of the relief she should obtain by opening Skit
'swelling; and as she could not find any medical gentleman who
'lnlaid undertake the task, had determined to perform the ope-
ration herself.
The Jury were satisfied that such was her intention, pertgu-
Isriy as the wound was on no other part of her neck, and theri
eistaroed the following verdict : " That the deceased died in
