The packet ship Arab, Capt. al, arrived
at Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Pennsylva-
ma Glzette says, Captain Ball was detained
several days in the channel. by severe gales,
and having a number OF storage passengers on
board, Inc put into Cork for provisions. He
left that port on the evening Of The 18th OF
October, and brings Cork apers Of the lIth,
and has politely favored us with the Cork Re-
porter Of that date. At the time he sailed,
The feelings of the people we've very highly ex-
cited. and the Catholics generally ripe for in
surrection. He also states that discon,ents
were much increased by the arrest OF Admirai
Codrington, to answer for the Navarino en-
gagement. Two thousand troop s were order
ed to march from Waterford to Cork. Mr.
O'Connel enjoyed the highest degree Of pop
ularity. The crops were reported to be good,
but beef and pork had risen one third in price.
This story of the arrest Of Admiral Codring-
ton, must be a pure fiction. 1t is strange how
such an improbable tale could have obtained
cIrculation.1
A very crowded assembly Of Members OF the
Catholic association took place in Dublin OH
the 10Th Of October. The annexed letter from
Mr.. O'Connel was read, and MIR. LawIess and
several other gentlemen addressed the meeting
with much warmth.
Tho following letter from Daniel O'Connel,
Esq. M. p. to N. P. O'Gorman, Esq. was read,
and ordered TO be inserted on the minu'es:-
Dorrinane abbey. Isl. Ottober, 1928.
My dear O'Gorman,-l had the pleasure
Of receiving your letter, by the last post, con-
tanning the rcsolnt ion of the Catholic Associa-
ton OF Ireland expressive Of the wish Of that
body, tina, l Should draw up an address TO the
people of the County of Tipperary, in order TO
induce them to desist from holding large meet
ings.
l bag you viii be so good as 10 communi-
cate to the Association, that ] feel greatly
honoured by that patriotic and illustrious body
making any demand on my time or exertions.
I consider their request as a command, and
am ready TO devote The best energies Of my
frame, and all The faculties Of my mind, to
the performance Of any duty with which they
may honour me. have, accordingly, prepar-
ed the draft Of an address to the people Of
Tipperary. and transmit it along with his let
ter. I have been anxious TO fulfil the inten-
tons Of the Association; II l shall succeed,
the merit of my attempt will rest with that
body; # fail, the fault will be solely mine
nor will the ASSOCIATION be involved in the
guilt Of any expressions Of nine. am solely
responsible for the sentiments contained in my
address. am quite convinced, however, that
the people Of TIpperary will dcsis, from hold
ing large meetings, tho moment they learn
that such meetings DO no longer obtain The
appreciation Of the Catholic Association. The
people Of Tipperary mnst be too well acquain-
led with the patriotism and intelligence Of the
Catholic Association Of Ireland, not to place
the most implicit confidence in that body
they certainly will comply without request.
We will thus protect and preserve the people
from going farther than they would them EEL
yes wish, and from uselessly rsking the public
peace, and putting in danger the approaching
success and triumph Of the Catholic Cause.
am, | repeat H.. quite convinced, that there
will he no more Of those meetings; but ifthere
should, We must then denounce to all honest
men, and TO the condemnation Of the patriotic
aud intelligent portion Of the Irish people, the
guilt and folly Of desp'sing our advise and re-
Jecting orr counsel but no it will be quite
unnecessary. and these meetings, which we
now condemn. will certainly cease.
have the honour to he, my dear O'Gor-
man,
Your very faithful and sincere friend.
