him down for that foolish but certainly harmless

and declined to return the blow. He promised
them that that man should have the protection Of

MIR. O'Conncll then enumerated the advantages
Of repeal, not forgetting TO intimate that the first
step of the Irish Parliament would be to abolish
the present Poor-law, and TO appropriate the
fS00,000 now derived from church temporalites
to the support of the poor, and the establishing o
hospitals and houses of refuge, putting end al
once to the poor.houses Give him repeal and the
annual drain Of f9000,000 would be spent at
homc while the aborer, instead of looking fol
employment, would be sought after. (Hear, hear. }
Having dwe!t on the tyranny Of landlords and
other grievances, tie do-nothing policy Of the
Government, and Oh the tottering condition ol
England, and having put in contrast Lord Nor
peth's evidence of the high morality of the Irish
with Lord Ashleys description of the English
people, the hon. and learned gentleman announced
that he would be at Castelar, on the following
Sunday, at Baltinglass the Sunday after, and at
Tara hill on the 18th August.
The dinner took place in large room Of the
Mitrc Hotel, accommodating about 400 gentle
men, and nearly half that number of ladies as
spectators.
Mr.. O'Conhell addressed the company for up
wards Of an hour. They had arrived, he said, at
a crisis which would try their SOULS a crisis which
would leave Ireland degraded and pitiful pro-
vince for centuries, or raise her at once to the
dignity of national independence. While COM
pelng England to do them justice, they had
never omitted to warn her that they were aglta-
tors with Interior views, and that what they had
in contemplation was the nationality Of Ireland
Mr.. O'Connell alluded to the myriads of deter
mined repealers who had attended the several re-
peal demonstrations observing, that .,s tng
land were in state of perfect prosperity, Ireland
now possessed moral force sufficient to break
down every barrier that stood in the way Of her
independence; but, instead of that, the manu-
factires Of England were declining, and her
revenue, Notwithstanding the income tax, was dl-
minishng. ca voice, Z" More of that to her !")
Right more of that to her, until she did justice
to Ireland and then might every prosperity and
glory attend her march. He proceeded 10 show
that the condition of Spain, the offer of support
from France, and the well-attested sympathy of
America made England very insecure while Ire
land was dissatisfied. Nothing bat fear kept her
at present from attempting to coerce lreland Tor
when was she strong that she did not do SO AS
soon as she found that she could not cut their
throats she resolved to bully them, and out came
the threat Of civil war from Peel and Wellington,
who were now neither for coercion, threats, nor
civil war, but for dong nothing. The Times,
too, blillied and bluGtercd, ard called the Minis
tiers traitors for not cutting the throats Of the Re
peaers /; but now what said that journal? Why,
that Repeal was joke, and the Government,
forsooth, were to cut their throats for joke.
Maughter) The Wing publication said, Let
the Irish 90 on and they will grow tred.h "a
voice, They lie y 1t was not So easy 10 tire
him at least. (Cheers.) The Wings said, "Wait
awhile, and when we get into power we'll give
YOU every thing" Would the men of Galway
grow tired to crafty the Tories C' No no! -
Or would they wait for the Wings! (No, no! -
They must not then be content with meeting, or
with giving passing cheer; they must work in
their respective parishes with a view to make
every man a Repsaler, and should have as little
as possible to do with any man that refused to be-
come one.
!, On Tuesday the usual weekly meeting of the
National Repeal Association was held at the Corn
Exchange, Dublin.
Mr.. O'Connell gave an account of the Tuam
and then alluded to the assault on
the policeman at Ahascragh. He had no strong
er way, he said, to make his adherence of the
conduct Of the people Ahascragh than by striking
it out of the map Of Ireland, ard he trusted the
A tn Ilyp ont

who, unfortunately was not in town at the time,
or the event wosid not have occurred. Mr..

Catholic clergyman.
That no nhabitant of Ahascragh should be allowed to

doned in future.
That those resolutions should be transmitted the Rev
Mr.. MacLochen with the expression of the perfect convic-
