by the ship Lancaster Capt West, we have
received London papers 10 the 9th of February,
and Liverpool TO the 10th.
Alter discussion which lasted four DAYS, Mr..
Iouiourn's motion for leave to bring in ''bill
to amend tue existing laws relative TO unlawful
associations in Ireland,n was carried at three
o'clock on the morning of the 18th. The prin-
ciPal object of this an, though directed against
all societies III Ireland, is the suppression of the
Catholic ASSOCIATION. The numbers were 278.
IN support OF the motion, and 1873 against il, lea
wing majority of ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY FIVE in favor Of the ministers.
Mr.. Broughman opposed the motion that the
bill be read first time on the ground that mo
had petition TO present from the Catholic As
ISOLATION, praying to be heard by counsel. The
bill was, however, read first time, and ordered
to be printed, though at the request of Mr..
Broughman, the second reading was postponed
to the following Monday.
The Courier rejOices with exceeding great
Joy, at this result, but the opposition papers con-
tend that the measure is absurd and will prove
nefTicaciOus.-Th following is the lanpuage oC
"Tbe Times" on the subject
The more we consider the subject of this
strange measure, the more IS our early opinion
cOntrned,-that ministers might as well at
tempt to catch the winds, or to fix the ocean. as
to destroy the body against whom they have de-
clared hostilities. If asked how this coerciye
law can be ayaded, we answer, by any one of a
thousand acts, which, under any conceivable sys-
tenn of law, each individual of the 5000 CONNIE
sing the association, might every day perform.
The law may be eluded by any man who can put
his hand into his pocket and pay money to ano-
