BRITISH PRESS. j A Meeting of Catholics took place in the Corn Exchange, Dublin, on Tuesday last. It was convened merely for the purpose of pre' paring Resolutions for the , adoption of the " Aggregate Meeting," which is appointed for an early day. The 'charge of drawing up the Resolutions was confided toa Committee. Mr. O'Connell figured on the occasion in an address not remarkable for its temperance. He appears to have taken the field again in earnest, for he showed himself on the Exchange in the " Association Uniform," and we regret to find, that with his old habits has returned his former model of speech, so that we find Min talking as glibly about tyrants, oppression, and injustice," as he did before he came over on his late mission to England. His course at present is singularly inconsistent. He evidently dreads, though he affects to despise 4' the undergrowl of Jack Lawless." Thug, while he insists upon the propriety of the " wings," he promises his countrymen that lie will for ever forswear them. " A clamour," he says, " was raised against the proposed payment of the Clergy, and he was, therefore, firmly persuaded, and ready to concur in opinion, that the Catholics ought in future to pursue that course for emancipation unencumbered by either of the late measures." He eulogises the defunct Association, and enjoins all legally practicable resistance to the " atrocious Act "by which it .was suppressed. The Catholic Rent, is, in fact revived. The Contributions are desired, by public Advertisement, to be sent to the " Hibernian Joint Stock Company." Subscriptions are announced from Sir Charles Wolsely and the Rev. Mr. L'Estrange, for tl►e parishes of Ballina and Boher, Tipperary.  MATH icmt.—The Journal de l'Aube contains the following account young man of Brienne, named Lebeeuff, not more than 22 years of age, has lately killed his own mother. It is attributed either to love, a long serief: of ill usage, or a vice of his nature. Several times before, and even within a week of the murder, he had beaten one of his little sisters. His passionate temper was so well known that his father had been warned of it, and he had, in consequence, thought of getting him put out. On Monday, July ,I,a dispute arose between the unfortunate man and two of his sisters, about 10 and 12 years old, concerning an omelette he wished to make; his mother coming in to appease them, he seized. the barrel of a gun which had been turned in a bellows, and struck her two blows on the breast with it : the poor woman ran away. but he pursued her, and at thirty steps from the house brought her to the ground by a blow on the head. He then struck his two sisters in the face with the same weapon, reproaching them as the cause of his having struck his mother. She did not survive his ill-treatment three hours. The young man was taken up by the Police, and is now in the hands of justice. In the meantime the father returned, and saw his wife bathed in blood.; he hastened to see his son, but was refused admission into the prison. The eldest girl of eight children left by the unfortunate woman, hearing what had taken place, hastened to the spot, where the horrid sight deprived her of reason, and obliged her to have medical attendance. These are the first fruits of this shocking affair,.whieh will no doubt be attributed to d blind passion. ft is said, however, that when the accused was canducted to recognise the , corpse, he made a speech which added greatly to the horror of the crime.—(Courier Francais.)
