ITO Daniel O'Connell, Esq, M. T."
Ireland continues almost exclusively TO absorb the
attention Of Parliament, and the present session promises
to be one Of the most pro,racied on record AS matters
progress, the sitting seems likely TO run INTO the au
tumn, TO the great annoyance olthe country gentlemen,
as well as the discomfort, of the mere hack politicians.
October is already named as the earliest period tor the
rising. The House of Commons devoted three nights
last week, and two during the week preceding, TO The DIS.
cussion OF Mr.. S O'Brien's motion for an inquiry into
the state of the sisler country. In a mere party sense,
the debate was the most damaging the Ministry has ex-
perienced since their installation, and the majority with
which il closed, 72, the smallest they have yet had on
any great question.
The Times sounded the tocsin some time ago and
"thundered' furlously in favor of putting down, by
force, the existing state Of things across the channel.
But II was a mere bruiem fuimen in ITS effect upon The
country. The coercion party is weak IN the House, tor
SIR Howard Douglass-who moved a strong resolution,
during the recent debate, 10 the effect that the agitation
should be first So suppressed, and remedial measures after
wards considerable could not find n seconder.
O.Connell held what IS termed an extraordinary meet
ing OF The Repeal Association, al the Corn Exchange,
Dublin, on Saturday, for the purpose OF favorlng his
adherents with his views of the drbate on Ireland
He made a long speech on the present state of parties,
the position of the Ministry, and the prospects oil repeal

ono persons. The procession that accompanied Mr.
OiConnell is described as having been tive miles IN
length. A platform was erected caPhble OF containing
1900 persons. The char was occupied by SIR X Mus
grave, Bart, and amongst the gentlemen present were
Thos Meaghen, Esq, Mayor of Waterford, twenty-five
nf the Town Council, Sir b. Morris, the Right Rev.
DR.. Foran, Roman Catholic Bishop of Waterford. and a
whole host of the Catholic clergy.
The various propositions having been proposed and
carried, Mr.. O'Connell addressed the multitude at great
length and amidst the loudest cheering HIS speech
was comparatively exempt from the usual exciting and
rntiammatory topics, but though more moderate IN
terms, was not less confident and decided IN tone, and
he spoke of the repeal as certain To be carried, II the
people only kept with the law, and abslaIned from the
slightest breach Of the peace. His speech was princi-
pally devoted TO the dissection of n letter OF apology
from Mr.. V. Stuart, one of the members for the county,,
who declined attending, because he was opposed 10 the
repeal of The Union, because he believed that the inca
sure would be injurious 10 both countries, and particu.
larly TO Ireland.
MIR. OConnell denounced him MS unfit to represent
The country, and said that rather than he should be re-
turned again, he would himself come forward to oppose
him. In the course of his speech he said: "lfEnsland
continued 10 &C, upjusiiy towards Ireland, he (Mr.
OfConnelD ~candidiy avowed that as long us she perse-
vered in SO wicked and infatuated a policy-he would
rejoice TO see her weak-he wished to have her spat
upon by France, America, and all other nations but
let her discard that course of action, as d'sgracefui TO
herself as ii IS injurious TO us, and then he would raise
her To u position which would make her the envy of all
surrounding nations. He would render her irresistible
in the affections ofan unpurchaseable people. He was
ready TO make over 10 her the heart and hands of eigh
teen millions of people but it should be for a consldera-
ton" (Hpar, hear)
ale would not take her word for payment-he would
give her no credit, but he would make u fair bargain
with her, and if she chose TO acceL. 1t, he would make
her the greatest nation on the face of the universe.
He thus announced his future movements-"He would
be at Tullamore next Monday, and The Thursday af-
Ter in the county Wexford, when he wou Id proceed 10
Tuam, Balllnglass, and Casilebar, and on the 18th
August he would be present at a multitudinous de-
monstratiun upon Tarn Hill, county Meath. lie would
put all their hurras in a speaking trumpet, and would
then blow a blast that would be heard IN the hall OF
Westminster" in the evening there was a banquet in
the Town hall, attended by $50 persons, the Mayor
of Waterford in the chair. Letters OF apology were
read from the Right Rev, Drs. M'Hale, Brown, Kear-
ing, Kennedy, and Blake, Lord French, Sir T.. Wolse-
lev, and several others.
In the course of his speech, MIR. OConnell declared
that hat was the most glorious day OF his existence.
Lord Stanley said that none of the respectable class OF
society had joined the Repeal. Was this the case?-
They saw where he was standing. Was he not sur
rounded by the Mahars, the Powers, the Mulgraves,
and the Barro MS, and all that was truly estimable in
the Aristocracy and landed property of their country:
(Hear, hear, and cheers) He could not find words to
express the delight he felt in finding Sir r.. Mulgrave
Joining them publicly that day. The accession OF such
a man was ominous of victory, and eloquently de-
monstrated the true character OF the movement; Tor,
the support of such a man as Sir X. Mulgrave was not
TO be expected, VI 1t was not easec upon Jusuce anu
truth.
When Father Mathew was at York, he was asked
whether, If a person took the pledge, he would be ex.
pec,ed TO abstain from the use of wine at the Lord S
Supper 10 which the Rev. gentleman at once replied:
"Of course not-the abstinence is only from wine as q
beverage"
The apprehensions for the Irish crops, caused by the
late rains, seem 10 have been entirely removed by the
very favorable change in The weather. The grain
crops now promise we'll.
The Irish legal world has lost one Of its most illus
trious members, in the Right Hon. Charles Kendall

There has been an immense falling of in the amount
of emigration from Ireland this season: and this de.
cline has been Observable at all the outporis. In Lon.
%donderry, for instance, the number Of %emigran,s for
British America and The United States during the
months of April, MAY, and June, last year, was 1918
This year 1t has been ONLY 1887, showing a falling off
at this single port of 2.53l, notwithstanding the in
