PEAL ASSOCIATION.  DUBLIN, JUL,: 7.—The weekly meeting of the Association, which took place to-day, was greatly crowded. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by several of the leading members of the body, was present, and upon his entrance was loudly cheered. Mr. M. O'Connell, M. P , presided. Mr. DAVIS moved the adoption of a draught of a petition to be extensively distributed in Ulster for the purpose of obtaining signatures to it, praying the House of Commons not to pass any Bill touching the tenantry of Ireland, without enacting therein a cl ruse recognising and saving whale the custom commonly called " the tenant.ri,;ht of Ulster."  Mr. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion, and denounced any attempt to hued., re with the existing tenant right as a scheme of robbery by the landlords He pledged himself to make every exertion in his power not only to preserve the present tenant-right fur the people of Ulster, but to extend it to every other part of Ireland. The petition having been adopted, Mr. O'CoNstet.i. again rose, and said that he had a few observations to make on the subject of his recent mission to England. He denied that he had ever made any declaration of total absence from his Parliamentary duties, as was asserted by some of the English journals. What he had said was, that he should not go over unless for the purpose of endeavouring to effect some good or to avert some evil. He was also reported to have declared himst If favour. able to mixed enucatton. and to have given an a.pinion to the effect that the political tart of the New Colleges Bill would do no harm to Ireland. Now, both these reports were utterly untrue. As to Mr. Roebuck, he had bean comp'aisant enough not to attack him ( O'Conn. II) since he wen, Over to radon. Now in truth he cared as little fur his a'nree as for the barkinl of a cur-dog, and he b gg, d p,don of the four loured animal fir the coinverison.— (Laughter.) That was all he hail to say about little Roebuck, and he would next call attention to she present posture of affairs. The Hon. Gentle an then recounted the steps which he and Mr. S. O'Brien tor:k in the House of Commons in opposition to the New Banking and, Colleges Bills, and stated hit objections in e.rtenso to the latter measure, denounc.ng it as penal, restrictive, and having a tendency to corrupt the youth of the country. He inculcated the necessity of concilite ing persons of all political opinions, and earnestly condemned the system of Ribandism and Molly Magu;reism, which is spreading ti.rough the country. He adverted  to the rt cent fatal co lision between the police and the country people n the county of Cork, where thirteen " innocent" persons lust their lives, and held it up as a warning to all to abstain from outrage and violence. The loss of life on that occasion had taken place in consequence of the manner ;n wh.ch the police were armed. In his opinion, the Government was wrong to send out the police on every occasion with deadly weapons in their hands. He also alluded to she assassination of Mr. Booth, and called upon wretches like his murderer to recollect that the red arm of God's vengeance was rat-eel agaiiat them, and that, if their crime was unrepented, their final doom was as certain as it was horrible to contemplae. He concluded by calling on the repeal wardens to rally with him for tranquillity, old Ireland, and the repeal. A resolution was adop ed, to the effect that the Rev. T. Maguire's speech at the Cavan meeting of magistrates should be printed and circulated in Cavan and the adjoining counties. _ _  - _ Mr. H. GRATTAN and Mr. J. O'CONNELL addressed the meeting at great lengrh ag.inst the New Education Bill. The week's rent was stated to amount to 4071. Is.
