The 34 atoh , on taking Ihe chair , came forward amidst load bursts of applause , and said ;—I have , in compliance "with the requisition , taken the chair * t your meeting on ftis day ; and , in taking the chair , 1 hope I will be excused when I candidly tell you that 1 am not to be considered hound by any resolutions passed at thi ? meeting . I do . cot for a moment mean towniend for the value or goodness of those resolarioHS ; hut 1 am not t-o be considered as concurring in all that I may put from the chair foribe auroral of ths meeting .
Mr . E . B . RccHi , M . P ., on coming forward to propose the first resolution , was vehemently cheered . He said : —Whs * brought them there—( cries of " The RepeaP ) 1 The Repeal , the whole Repeal , and nothing bat the Repeal—( deafening cheers ) letihat shout ring iron the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear , and let Peel and 'Wellington lake their tea out of it—( laughter and cheers ) . They called this sedition—they said that the pe"bple were anxious for rebellion —( cries of ** no , no 5 *)—no—and that Tra 3 what vexed the villains—( laughter ) . It was
fliey who were seditions—it was Peel and ¦ Wellington who were seditions , an ^ . BTo ugh £ m , by using the Queen ' s name asaiest the people of Ireland—( cheers ) . The Hon .

Ltossseconded the- resolmion .
The Rev . Johs FiivEf proposed the second resolution , vrhich was seconded by Jas . SiirRPHT , jtin ., £ sq , of Middieton . Aiderman Fagax rose to propose the third resolution , and was hailed with grea * cheering . Afier addressing the-meeang at some iengih , Sir . Fagan moved the resolution , which he said was a financial one ¦ upon whiea he would not then dilate , but he could proTe from , documents in bis possession that England owed a debt of d 90 £ 09 , OQO to Iretacd , and therefore , in the event of a change , they mu ^ : get that- sum back —( great choer ») - The resoiaiion was secondec by Aid .

He said he had to propose That O'Coimeii , the labgrator of Ireland and the ehaicraon of human liberty—( cheers)—possessed the unbounded iwnfidenceof the Irish people—Kgreatcheer ^ . The Rev . Matthew Hobgau seconded the resolniirB , which was carried with load acclamation .
Mr . 3 riiZGi 3-U-i > , J , P . < of Muckridgc ) proposed the adoption of the petition in a brief and pity speech .

was deterred from joining in it at first , because ] deemed it * a m £ 2 snre impracticable , and that it could not be aceempiishsc ; but I confess that ihe Tesulis of the last six or seven weeks , and vrhat I have beheld within xbe last few days , produced a great and powerful impression » n my mind—( cbeers ) I beheld the feeling increasing and the movement swelling like the ocean , uniil h has become irresistible—( tremendous cheering ) ^ and I now am z ' long ¦ with the people—( renewed cheering ) .

Mr . OVossell then came forward amid tomnltou 3 applanse . When silence was restored , he said—The SkI topic he wonld address them on wa 3 to express his heartfelt delight at the' scene of yesterday— ( vehement cheers . ) He had been an agitator for many years , bn * never did he see scything to equal it—thirty bands , thousands *! tradesmen , thousands of people , and mothers with infants in their arms—( lond applause . ) He was told that the soldiers were locked op . He vras sorry to heaT it . He did not Tegard ihe scene a » a mere compliment to TiimsfAf , bni there coni-i be no doubt that he was delighted with the several thousands of eyes that beamed joy and gladness cpon him ; and a 3 he passed each group the cheers rended the heavens ,
and each voice mingled in its aspirations lor liberty , a , Janolv compliment to him—( vebemsas cheers . ) He did not know what Ped asd Wellington wonld say of that scene when they heard of it—( loud applanse . Yes , if the people consumed as they were yesterday , violating no law , observing the peace , their Parliament wonld soon be in College-green—{ contmned cheers . ) There was no talent in prophesying—there was no mental superiority in recognising the approach of Repeal . See the progress the question was daily making . Ouly the other day ie addressed 150 , 000 " Olstermen , double that cumber m Connanght -asd Lein « ter , and hurrai now for Mnnster—( cheers . ) As tar a 3 Ireland was concerned there was no denying the triumphant , majestic—ay ,
and irreastable progress of Repeal— teoniisued cheenng . ) in iheir own city and county could anything be more Temarkable -than that progress?—( hear , hear . ) Only the other day he enliaed Mr Shea Lalor , a coanay gentlemen of great worth and patriotism— - ( loud cheers . ) Only yesterday Mr . Fitzgerald , of Mnckridee , a gentleman of ancient family and Independent fortune ^ magistrate of their coud tv , only yesterday he joined * the standard- Yesterday too , they had the talented accession of his friend , Mr . lagan , who was not a thorough Repealer until the people persuaded him—( cheers . ) There was no mail of higher mind aad purer principles than Mr .

Bni it was not in progress of jnnititndhiDBS meetings that he recognised the cause of Ireland ' s prosperity triumphing—other evidtcces were given hie . They remembered when he pleaded in their courts of jastice —( lond cheers ) . They did not forget that ; and thas he there examined his -witnesses . He had now two more witnesses to bring forward ; 23 d those were the Duke of Wellington and PeeL For the first time in his life Wellington had been guilty of making a proud boast whvdi he ccnld not real z j . Bni the other day he seemed to head the charge against Ireland with the martial
brow cf the warrior when commanding the guards to be " up and at them . ' He said that he wonld isoercethe people of Ireland—that he woald pnt down the Repeal agitation—that he had power to coerce them . The poor old gentleman— ( laughter . ) Be was glad that they laughed at the Duke . Another laugh for him —( shouts of laughter ) . H e hoped that iact wooid reach him , that they laughed at him— ( continued laughter ) . Tae first scholarship the Dnke leceived was , what the people of Ireland taught him ?

Alderman Dasiel Mihpht iavirg b en ealied to the chair , thanks were unaiKEiou-ly voted to she Mayor , and the immense meean- ; ^ t -pafat « d smidsi vehement eh-ers for ihe Q 56 ea Oid Ireland . Repeal , and CConneiL
TIPPER ARY . Another grand demonsiration took place on Tjbmsday week , at Necagb , ihe capital towi > of the Korth Riding of Tipperary ; 450 , 000 persons are stated to have been present , a . O'Conncli slept in xhnrJes on Wednesdav night , « t the Tt = ndence of the Most Rev . Dr , Slattery , :, e Arcr . . isbop of Cashel , where a large parry wa- assembled to recSveiim , and left far Henagh n . - » ¦ morning at ten o ' clock , accompanied by Mr . StUe . His journey was a scene of the most enthnKia * tic a-inmph . Tuns did he proceed in Jrinmph for twennr miles throngh
fiiB oonntryj and arrived within four miles of Kenagh , when he ™ met by the depu *« don . The Kjngrejiied trades of limerick , with their bewitifal bn gbispap $ ! & dinners jittering in tLe rajs of a meridian snn , and the Kenagh . traders carrying banners also . On , OQ came the Ehonvutg tbonssnabequestrians , peaestriins , men , jromen , and children , inrrring , until ihe "whole valley seemed to echo the TOices of -150 , 000 human beings . As the carriage arrired at the foot of the hill the liberator alighted and-walked up to the platform preceded by the ban"oers asd , presentinglimself to the vast multiiude , ie ^ -wasieceived with die unanimous voice of 450 , 000
ofJiis conntrymen . There were in that vast erewd congrega : ed thousands "who came a distanoe of fifteen and tws . D » y

miles to be present . The peoplo of the Kiag ' s and Queen ' s rount ' es , of Limerick , Clare , and Gal way , were present there , and no le $ 3 than 1 , 000 boats freighted with human beings crowded the Shannon from the two last mentioned counties . The platform was capable of containing five hundred persons , and was crowded by at least that number . About half-past three o ' clock , Mr . Patrick Fogarty , ol Cabra Castle , was called to the chair amid the acclamations of the meeting .
The Rsv . Mr . Scahlan , Catholic curate , rsenagh said , that a resolution had been pnt into his hands , which was , * ' thai Daniel O'Connellj the Liberator of Ireland , and the strennons advocate of freedom , was entitled to tte unlimited confidence and unbounded gratitude of the Irish people "—( cheers ) . He had great pleasure in moving the resolution which was confided to his care , and at the same time to hand to the Liberator ! of his country £ 65 as a portion of the contribution from the district of Nenagh —( cheers ) . :
Mr . O'Comkkta—What will Bobby Peel say to thai I—loheers ) . Mr . O'Coxsell , of Ennis , then presented himself , and was received with loud cheers . He "would not take np their time or attention , as he knew they came there to hear the Liberator of Ireland , but all he would say was , that from ; Carrigaholt tD Killaloe the threat of Peel was despised—fbT "let the recreant yield Who feared to die , '' Mr . O'CoNJTEii then presented himself , and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering we ever heard . As soon as silence was restored , he said—No eonntry in the world save Ireland—no country but Ireland could produce such physical
force , combined with the moet perfect tranquillity - ^ -so mucb . power and might , with so little inclination to use it badly—( loud cheers ) . No country couid exhibit the human form in such gigantic proportions , and no people in the world were less inclined to abuse their gigantic 'trength . He would tell Peel that it would be better for him to let them alone—( cheers ) . Hs would advise Wellington to nave nothing to say to them—^( continued cheers ) . Not a siBgle act of riot or violence would , however , be committed by that vast multitude—( loud cries of " No , no . ") If they had a mind to please Brereton , one of who = e men shot ancther last night , they would commit a riot— ( 3 laugh ) . ' How thankful the party would be that they knocked down a man , that
he m = ght be brought up before twenty tailors of magistrates acriug at petty sessions—( cheers and laughter . ) He would tell tbrtn why they came tb » re . and they should understand it distinctlythat Peel aDd Wellington may be able to count noses to see how many are present , and count his own as fast as be pleased . They came there to Mjmify their ctucmrencs with him in seeking for a Repeal cf the Union—that there must be an Irish Parliament ; and ibey should give Peel and Wellington to understand " tbat they were fixedly determined that Ireland should be governed by Irishmen , and for Irishmen —( hear , and cheer ?)—that they were tired of Saxon misrule—they were trred of being oppressed , and that it washi ^ h time the
management of their own rS "* ir « should he placed in their own bauds . ( Hierr ? . ) Two days ago his voice was re-rcboed at the foot of the rock of Cashel , where he also addressed -200 , ( 100 persons who shouted atd laughed with him at the threat of their enemies . ( Cheers . ) What , he wonld ask again , brought them all there that day ! If he were foolish and bad enough to tell them to go to the field , where there many of them would go 1 ( Cheers , and cries of ** We'd all go . " ) He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was neither so foniish nor so wicked , and he would do their business much better . There was another thing which h * wished they wonld co . John Bull generally
enlisted men by giving them a shilling ; but he wished 10 enlist Repealers Ly taking a shilling . Nothing frightened them more than ihe shilling , and a man at the back of it , for it showed that the people were in earnest . ( Hear . ) Ireland should be a nation , for she had too lone eijdnred the rule of the Saxon . Had be any teetotallers there ! ( Here a forest of bands was lifted in the air amid great cheering . ) The revenue lost one million seven hundred and twenty-four pounds by that movement ; and oh I there was no danger of tbeir breaking any law while tbey were thus sober ; ( Cheers . ) Then , steady , boys , steady , was his advice , and they would yet be triumphant .
As soon as he concluded , Mr . Steeik was loudly called for by the immense multitude , and briefly addressed them in his usually eloquent terms , in the conrse of which he characterisedithe ** Iron Duke " as the " Old Irish Indian Sepoy , ' \ and Peel's mother a = a Spinning Jenny . He was greeted with enthusia = tic cheers . A dinner look place in the evening in the Temperance Hail , at which upwards of of 350 genUemen sa » down at seven o ' clock . The chair wa 3 taken Ly Mr . O'Bhiej . - Dillon . Grace having been said by the Bight Rev . Dr . Ke » "edt , ine Chairs an having given the usual toast
proposed—* ' The people , the source of all legitimate power . Counsellor FiTZPATaiCK being lendly called fori said—It certainly requires no rhetoric to prove that the true aiid only source of legitimate power is the people—the vacgnard in victory—the rallying point in defeat—the very post itself . Rejoice , then , every hones ! heart—rejdicp ., then , for the people are Rppealers . Your country may he rained , may be sold , by her aristocracy ; she lives to be redeemed by her people . TPhe Chairman then gave " Daniel O'Connell , the Liberator oi his country . " The cheera with which thh toast was received were deafening ; every one in the room stood up and cheertd until the very echo seemed to repeat the toast .
Mr . O'Co . nsell then toss , and after silence was obtained , said—You will probably meet me with a smile of disbelief , and perhaps even with a sneer of incredulity , when I tell you that the scenes of this day bring a ticge of despondency to my mind , and make me apprehend its success is not so certain as 1 yesterday deemed it to be . The two speeches which you have just heard oagbt to console me—the power and eloquence of my excellent ; friend by me , and the eloquent eeomiums of my young friend at the end of the table , both would induce me to hope that the period of Ireland's delivtry is ' at hand * —that the period of thraldom is ov « rr ; and let me justify mypelf then in telling you some of the inklings of despair which cause me uneasiness . The people aTO so ready and rife that emancipation will come too soon on them . A Voice _
—Reneal-Mr . O'Cosskll . —Did I say emancipation instead of repeal ? Then , if so , the mistake is not a powerful one , for there cannot be any emancipation without a repeal . ( Cheers . ) A Voice . —No , yonr Lordship . Mr . O'CoSNELL —I am no lord . The same voice . —Then you may be a lord . Mr . O'Coxsell . —I hope I may never be so ; I have a name which I would nol change with acy lord in the land , and tbey pay me no compliment who think 1 should change it for any other . ( Cheers . ) It is vanity of course , for me to say bo ; but if any man on earth is entitled to be vain , I am the man . The people are-ready and anxious to do their duty , they bear and forbear , " they Wait for the good
time patiently , under every ontrage and insult ; but , they must have a hope of Euccessi ( Cheers . ) What did 1 see near ths rock of Cashel 1 A population of physical power which , jf placed in the hands of Napoleon , wonld have enabled him to couquer Eorope . ( Loud Cheers . ) He marched from Bonlougne into the centre of Hungary with a smaller effective force thsn surronnded me yesterday ; and , iheii , he has no sach army in reserve as I saw to-day , on my way to Nenagh . ( Oreer ? . ) Yes ; the waste of physical force is exhnberant . and no man can apprebeud that guilt is contemplated m th ? se moral displays of po pnlar power ; but let them tell me there is no security . ( Hear . ) lvalue it not as a sword to strike down , but a shield to protect . From this spot , I say to Peel &na Wellington , and the congregated force of British statesmen , never to be absurd enough to assail those who have the protection of such a shield .
( Cheers . ) I find cut curious taings sometimes ( laughter)—there was sent me by post an account that the Government had employed one Abraham Brewster { groans and iaughier ) , to pnt down repeal . ( Groans . ) If he \ rerc a sheep he wonld come to you after that calL ( LanghUT . ) Here is a document , and it appears they are going to issue " a repeal caution . " ( Great laughter . ) It is publicly announced thus : " Whereas it has been publicly announced on the blank day of blank ( great laughter ) for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the union between Great Britain and Ireland . " Now let me jnss tell yon , before I proceed ' crther with this blank document , that petitioning Parliament for such a purpose is merely petitioning for the repeal of an act of Parliament , which is , as announced by Lord John Rusiell , like any ether statute , liable to be repealed ; but the notice goes on —** And whereas we have received information on
oath th » if such meetings be held , a serious breach of the peace 13 likely to ensue . " Must not that fellow be a most atrocious perjurer who would swear that ! but what do yon think of the men who would put in print the temptation of euch a . lie on oath 1 He goes on— " We hereby caution all persons whatever from attending said meetings , as we-are determined preventing same . " There ' s castle English for you —( A lani ^ i . ) M TVe caution yon against jfping to a meeting which is not to be hdi " - ( L * aghter . ) There's a bsaatiral csatioa j like the English of the
connty MoBaghan magistrates ] sent to the castie , Given under our hands and seals this blank day of blank . "—( Laughter . ) Does any" man imagine that such a proclamation -will retard ifor one single moment the mighty national movement of Ireland Ii Hear , " and cheers . ) Well , then , after all , ought l to halt where we are 1 —( Cries of " No . " ) I have my next step prepared , and it 13 my duty to state it . I announced more than once , that when I had 3 , UOO / K > Q of Repealers I should take anoiher step 3 and as i t-hali have them , probably , befcre a fortnight , acd that east , west , north , and south are

arouse ? , perhaps I ought to take this opportunity of giving it in detail . I want to get three hundred gentlemen who shall enjoy public confidence by bringiri ^ me hundred pounds each , and that willjyield asuin ofihirty thousand pounds , as a fund to pay the expenseswhich maybeincurred . The moment the money is delivered their functions cease , in point of law , and they must declare they were not acting as a delegate or representative for any person , and that they did not assume such a character . That done , they inust get a receipt for the money , and go homo ;; and I'Jl be at liberty freely to ask 300 to meet me in the lower room at the Corn Exchange , and when we meet , I see no difficulty in forming a Conciliation Society next day , for depend on it , as
sure as you sit there you will have gentlemen having a high notion of themselves exceedingly anxious to make one of the 300—( hear , hear ) . And ) now I come back to the position that it is impossible to pre 3 s the bill for Repeal in the House of Lords .: One threat from France , or America , or Ruasial would jfrighten them —( a laugh ) . Look a *; the conduct of the British Parliament in 1778 . Before the battle of Saratoga the Americans were provincials ; i and , indeed , they were first called rebels . Wheni Burgoyiie was sent against General Gates , the ; latter was designated a " storehouse-keeper , " but when he shut the great English general up in his shop and tamed the key , then the Americans ,, instead of " rebels" and " provincials" were called " enemy" and then the army—the " enemy's
army "—( hear , hear , and a laugh ) . In the same year Paddy asked for free trade , or else — -, and free trade was given—( cheers ) . In 1782 the VolunteerB called for the independence of the Irish Legislature , or else , when the hint was taken by the British Parliament , who granted the independence soughtfor . In 1792 , when Billy Egan presented a petition for the Catlulic claims , it was on the motion of Mr , Labouchere , member for Kildare , kicked out of the house ; but in the same year Dumouriev gained ^ the great victory at Geniappe , beat the AustriaR 5 , and that was another hint . I heard Ihe cannon fired at the battle frcm the college of Douay , where I themvas . Tae Auetrians were driven out of Belgium and Liege , and the next year the British Government sravi- the Irish CathoMos a boon . The
history of Great Britain is full of such < .-xamples . When John Bull is terrified he is an exceedingly persuadable person ; but suppose he continues proud and obstinate , he has the question of the Scotch Church on his hands—an insurrection in Wales , and distress and destitution gnawing his own vitals—( heat ) , He is just now , 1 promise you , in a bit of a doldrum ; and if that increases he will become exceedingly civil . Recollect that in 1829 , when we trained emancipation , we had not the advantage of the English finances being deranged , or a smothered charter insurrection , which is ready to burst forth every moment with redoubled fnry . We had England at peace at home , and with the world beside , in a high , and proud , and palmy state ; yet as goou as the Irish people combined in their moral and peaceful strength , Peel and Wellington were coerced to grant it—( hear . hear . and chuer ^ . ) " The Right Rev . Dr . Kennedy and the Catholic Hierachy of Ireland "—( cheers ) .
The Right Rev . Dr . Kknn-edt , being loudly called upon to respond to the toast , rose amidst thr most enthusiastic cneers . After silcore was obtained , the Ri ^ ht Rev . Prelate ' addressed the audienca to the fofiowiiig effect : — I ' am not ignorant , gentlemen , that it has been often said , and that , too , by person * of very opposite principles , of course from very different motives , that it is not booming the sacred character of ChrUliun clergymen to take any active part in the political > trugi ; les of their fellow countrymen , and that they should confine themselves exclusivly to their spiritual functions . This doctrine , gentlemen , as far , at least , as it is applied to the clergy of this ill-fated country , I must decidedly and utterly reject , whether it proceed from
friend or foe—( great cheering ) , Convinced , fellowcountrymen , that British legislation for Ireland never has been , and is never likely to be influenced by justice , honour , or humanity , it was but natural , it was reasonably to be expected that a generous and justice-loving nation of 8 000 , 000 or 9 , 000 , 000 , which has contributed so essentially to tho greatness and glory of England , and which is now herself ( thank God ) too great to be dragged at , the tail of any other nation ,. should dtmand from her , urgently but constitutionally and peaceably , the restoration o < her native Parliament , of which she was basely robbed in the fatal hour of her weakness , by a combination of the foulest crimj-s that ever disgraced a country calling itself Christian—( cheers ) . This
demand which the greatest men , both in England and Ireland predict , must be one day made ; this demand in which Irishmen of all classes and creeds are at least equally interested ( the absentees alone escepted ) we are now making—we aro making it legally , constitutionally , and peaceably , and oh , shame , we are told by the British Minister that it never shall be conceded , except , perhaps , at the awful cost of a desolating civil war . Nt'ver did a more unwise declaration proceed from the lips of any statesman , never did one betray more senseless paFsion , more blindness and ignorance of their owu true interests , or more shocking inhumanity than did those anti-Irish truculent legislators by whom that declaration was called forth and
applauded—( cheers ) . Oh , if ever such a war should unfortunately occur—which may God in his mercy to both countries avert , —it wi'l , I greatly fear , and I shudder while I think of it , be a war of so bloody , so deadly , and so devastating a character , thai the victors , whoever they may be , will hare but too mucn reason to mourn their melancholy triumph—( cheers ) . Threaten the people of Ireland with the hoTrors of a civil war ! Why , our unhappy people are at this moment suffering such unexampled privations , and are so maddened by the exasperating sense of unmerited and cruel injustice , that no war has any terrors for them , and , least of all , a war against their unnatural ,
invelerate , and unrelenting oppressors—( Great cheering ) . Oh , no , there is nothing , the restoration of their Parliament alone excepted , that would be more welcome to them in their present temper than such a war , no matter what might bo tho issue —• ( continued cheers ) . This is melancholy , but it is , alas , too true—( loud cries * of hear , hear ) . Let those , then , who have thrown out this most foolish threat , as well as those by whom it has been extorted from them , take the assurance of one whose intercourse with the people of Ireland has been unceasing and most intimate for nearly the last forty years , that there never was a period within that time when such a threat was more powerless , except for mis chief , than the present—( loud cheers ) .
LONGFORD DEMONSTRATION . Lo 5 G 7 OBi > , Sdsdat . —A meeting of extraordinary magnitude took place here to-day , for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature for a Repeal of the Union . The requisition published on the occasion was addressed to the inhabitants of the county of Longfprd ; but , as ; might have been expected from the course pursued by Dr . Higgins , the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh , in reference to the question of Repeal , the entire body of the clergy , of whom he is the spiritual head , have , without an exception , strenuously exerted themselves to promote the present agitation , and tie result of this unanimity has been , that a large proportion of the population of most of the parishes in the diocese , which extends over the
whole of the county of Longford , and portions of six Eurrou&ding counties , was present at the meeting of to-day . ; From the hour of eight o ' clock in the morning large bodies of the peasantry , headed by the parish prie 3 ts of the various districts , and in many instances prepared by mus : cians , dressed in military costumes , continued to pour into the town throughout the day . I was informed , that in the more remote' districts , extending to a distance of forty miles from the town of Longford , mass was celebrated at so early an hour as four o ' clock in the morning , and that immediately afterwards tho several congregations , headed by their clergymen , eommt-nced their progress to the Bcene of meeting .
Tho place selected for the demonstration was that part of the main-street of Longford , exactly opposite the Dubiin-road , and a large platform was erected , where a view of it could be obtained from four bro 3 d and Ion s roads , which , as the hour ( two o'clock ) appointed for holding the meeting appointed , wer « fi . led with deasely packed masses of ppople . Notwithstanding the vast area of ground thus occupied , every window and house-top , from which sa glimpse of the place of meeting could be obtained , had its occupants also . At the lowest computation there were 250 , 000 persons present when the meeting commenced ; and the pressure iu this enormous mass of neoplu was bo great that there were scarcely any females among the crowd
Mr . 0 _ ' Coi » xBLi-, who slept in Mullingar last night , arrived in tfwn about two o'clock , and was received in the most enthusiastic wanner by the thousands assembled . He was accompanied by Dr . Higgins , Dr . Cant well , Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath , and Mr . Steele , and attended by a numerous esoort of respectably dressed persons on horseback . After passing through the streets ef the town , he proceeded to the platform , which was ornamented with banners , having on them such inscriptions as " Ireland for the-Irish , and the lrieh for Ireland , " &o . The principal platform , and several smaller ones erected near it , were crowded by the clergy and farmers of the surrounding districts . Shortly before three o clock the chair was taken by Count Nugent , justice of the peace , of Killesonna , who was stated by Dr . Higgins-to be descended from one of the most illustnou » families in the country .
Tie Chaibham having briefly stated the objeota of the meeting , proceeded to enumerate the advantages which would result from carrying the RepeaL ReTi M . O'Bkiiinb , parish priest , proposed the first resolution , which was expressive of attachment to the person and throne of the Qaeen , and admiri ^ toon ot the British constitution , which was seconded by Mil P . Keon , and passed unanimously . Rev . Mr . Dawson , parish priest , moved the next resolution , to the effect that the benefit of tho British constitution could not be secured to this country by , a foreign Parliament . It was seconded by Mr . Reogh , and adopted .

Tiie next resolution embodied the sentiment , that nothing but Repeal could restore ' Ireland to the position iu which she should stand . It was moved by Mr . Carberry , and seconded by the Very Re ? . Dean Farrelly . The several movers and seconders of the resolutions spoke to them at considerable length , and the Bubstance of their observations ww , briffly , that they would never rest content until Repeal was achieved , no matter how great avid extensive the other concessions might be which the Government should choose to make . - < , _ ; The Rev . Mr . M'Aver , parish priest , imposed the next resolution , which was to the ^ effect , tnat Dr . Higgins , their venerated and beloved Bishop , was
entitled to the gratitude of the clergy and laity of the county of Longford , for the determined and charitable manner in which he advocated ihe cause of Repeal , and that while he efjayei the confidence of his people , ho could hurl defiance $ t those selfinterested and trading politicians who had the insolenco to censure his Lordship ' s political conduct . The Rev . Gentleman , in proposing the above" resolution , adverted to the assertion of the Earl of Wicklow , that Dr ^ Higgins was aa obscure person , and stated that if that prelate h id attended the Castle ag others in a similar position had done , siich an unfounded assertion respecting hirii would not have been made . The vote of thanks to Dr . Higgins was seconded and carried by acclamation .
Dr . Hisgins , in returning thanks , said , that his Rev . Friend , Mr . M'Aver , had given utterance to a sentiment which ffiifiht , by possibility , be liable to misconstruction . The language which his Rev . Friend had used was strong , but he was at tho same time honest in his purpose ; but proud as he ( Dr . Hi £ giii . «> ¦ . vas ' of possessing the confidence and love of the people , he would forfeit , them , and lay down his unworthy lifo ako , rather than that it should be for a moment supposed that he entertained any but sentiments of veneration for tho character of the pious , karned , and revered Arohbishop Murray ; and although in his own wisdom ( a-nd who would daro to dictate to him ) lie thought proper sometimes to freqtfent the Castle , he ( Dr . Higgins ) knew that he went there in pursuance of the "most noble and charitable purposes . He ( Dr . HigginS ) never went to the Castle himself , and boasted only of being the
humble chiof of an humble priesthood , who , however ihumble , at least possessed tho confidence of the people—( cheers ) . He foil that , although he was not an old man , tho grave was not many years distant from him , and that that day would sooh arrive when ho should render to his God an account of all his acts , and in that holy presence ho now pledged himaelf that while he had an idea in his bead , or a drop of blood iu his veins , he would be at the ommand of his beloved country . This , ho could say , he spoke in the utmost sincerity of heart . Ho had often addressed them on religious topics , and had been edified by the docility with which they had attended to his pleading ;! in the cause of religion . It was supposed at the tame time that ho was a politician . Now , he afisured them he neither was nor would be a politician , but ho would bo a just man to theday of his death . He did not therefore intend to
recriminate , and scorned to retaliate or use the language of ribaldry which had been by others directed agaihut his character . Ho had at no distant time pledged most of the inhabitants of his diocese to-temperance , and he had been delighted with the fidelity which they had displayed towards that pledge . He wot ^ ta avail himself of the opportunity which that gforiolfs spectacle of nearly half a million of hiimau beings assembled together afforded him to , ' administer anoiJior pledge , to which no ' man should respond ' without putting his hand to his heart and swearing to observe iu the presence of his Creator—( cries of " We will ") . Let all promisu to ca-opef ito with the Liberator—( cries of " We do pronifire" ) . He took his leave of them , then ; and , humble as he was , thoy he
might behove him -when ho said tha ^ t was able to take their part in England and his own too —( ioud cheers ) . Mr . O'Connell next addressed the meeting at great length . It' he had no other reason to be a Kepealer except the history of the county of Longford , he would bo one . ( Cheers . ) They had more contested elections there than in any other county , and more bribery and persecution had followed the virtuous acts of the peoplo of that county than any other county in Ireland . In Eiiig | and , they could not understand the people of this country resisting ; the terror of their landlords , and the temptation « t ; bribery . There nover had been a Parliament in which bribery was so extensively used-aa the present ; and he proudly contrasted it with the conduct 6 t the
independent men of Longford . ( Cheers . ) He charged this on the union , that al ) the members returned by the people of Longford had been unseated , and others seated in their place , who had not been returned by the peoplo . Ono of his reasons for corning there was tahelp them to repeal that union ; and another was , the obligation he owed to their venerated bishop , who Jived in tho hearts op his people . "What , a paltry thing for any miserable mongrel Catholic to assail such a man . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to describe the various moetiugs he had lately attended , and went on to say that it had been asserted there would be a civil war , if they persovered in their present course . If there was to hi a civil war , they would at J « ast put their enemies in the wrong , for it should be of the making oithetr enemies , and if they attack the people , in the name of tho people * he defied them . He was not a slave , nor would ever consent ; to be one . If they
passed an Act of Parliament , he would obey it , but probably he would find means of running a coachaud-six through it- ^( cheers ) . Ho promised th' m that whatever law was passed , they should be protected , and when that was done in the name of the Queen and the Constitution , ho set their enemies at defiance—( cheers ) - He then proceeded to advert to his deprivation of tho office of magistrate by the Lord Chancellor , who , he asserted , was breaking ftho law , byi interfering with the right to petition . In two days the commission of the peace would be taken from their chairman , and for what ?—because he attended a meeting to petition Parliament—( hear . hear ) . The Hon . Geutlemau then proceeded at great length to enumerate the alleged advantages which the peopio would obtain it they succeeded in carrying the Repeal .: He also dwelt on the physical and moral advantages of the peoplo and the country , and concluded by assuring them that it was only necessary that they should act peaceably and constitutionally , and their success was certain . The usual petition to Parliament hating been adopted , and thanks given to Count Nugent for his conduct in the chair , the meeting separated .

Britain and ] Ireland , I found before me your lettei of the 23 rd * instant ; For tho terms of civility in which that letter is couched I owe you , Sir , and I hereby offer ( you , my best thanks . " I would not willingly bo exceeded by you in courtesy , add I beg of you to believe that , if in the perfbrn ^ uoe j ? f a sacred duty I should use any * xpressi *| @M | narsh nature—which I shall studiously endeayou 5 fc $ 0 avoid—it is not my intention to say anything personally offensive . But that duty obliges me to decline that , as the restoration Of the Irish Parliament is au event , in my judgin ^ int , not remote , I will avail [ myself of tho opportunity afforded by a seat in the Irish House of Commons to move for the impeachment of the present Lord Chancellor for
presuming to interfere with the subject ' s dearest and most precious right—the right of petitioning Parliament—a right expre&sly declared to belong to the people as onp of * the true , ancient , and indubitable rights and liberties of tho people of this realm . ' I use the wor ^ s of the statute , which , it should bes-iremembered , settles the succession of the Crown upon the basis of those rights and liberties of -the subject . Her Majesty ' s title , therefore , to the . throne , is based upon the righc of petition ; and the statute expressly declares— That all commitments and
prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal . ' The deprivation j q { the commission of the peace may not be technically a prosecution . But it is intended as a punishment ; and punishment without prosecution would make the aot of the Lord Chancellor only the more criminal . I mean to insist—and I ftlffek the argument will have weight wi'h an Irish 'i ^ hament ^' reely and fairly elected—that the aqt of the Chancellor necessarily endangers the stability of the Throne and the security of the couneciion between both countries .
. " The commission of the peace is of very small importance tjo me , who never acted more than once under that jeotnraission . But the principle upon which . th&pnancellor acts I utterly protest , against , as beinjf ' iuj its eiseuiial ualure disloyal , and dangerous afiko to the Throne and the people . " That tho : Repeal meetings to petition Parliament ara not illegal , is a proposition admitted in your letter to Lord Ffreneh ; and really you must permit me to say that it ) .- > in no slight degree ab urd to allegu that theso meetings 'have an inevitable tendency to outrage !' . . ' Why meetings have been
held—aa cv . rybudy in Ireland knows , or ought-to know , as numerously—aye , an < l as peaceably—before the passing of the Emancipation Act as during the present Repeal agitation . There have been within the last three months more than twenty of theso multitudinous meetings to petition without having caused a single offence . How , then , they can have ' an inevitably tendency' to outrage , without having oVer produced a single outran , is not within tho comprehension of a mere Irish lawyer , although it uiay be withiu the sagacity of an Euglith I hancellor !
" How canj the Chancellor be of opinion that meetings tO ;| i § dupi aro not within the epirit qF . the ' confititutioJr ^ wjjjp the constitution itself recognizes , sanctions , ai y ^ ' aiid enforces the right so to petition 1 And as to the notion of their becoming dangerous to the safety of iho state , the danger to the state , would in reality consist itf suppressing tho groans of ihfe people 5 in compelling thorn to brood iu aiiuuce over their wr-pa ^ Ei and thei r sufferings ; and a more wronged and suffering people exist not under the face of heaven than tho Irish people . The danger to the state would consist in suppressing thu expression of popular opinion ; in damming up the constitutional chauueLs of relief ; and in thereby driving the people to the wild and hideous ' justice of revenue , ' instead of leaving them to tho fair hopes of relief from the Houses of Parliament , and from the 'L'hrono . j
" As to the argument used ih your letter to Lord Ffreneh witll respect to the inability of thy magistrates attcudtng meetings to re pr ^ su violence , it bears diametrically tho opposite way . For no individual could possibly have so direct aud personal an iuterest in preventing v ; olenco and suppressing outrage as magistrates who-are parties to , and respon .-ible for , the ( wiling together of such meeting . " With respect to your assertion that her Majesty has , like Her predecessor , * expressed her determination to prevent the carrying pf tha Repeal uf the Union , ' it hks filled me with tho most utter and inexpressible Astonishment . You mu * t know—and indeed I much fear you must have known when you rr inrfrt tnat . ad > avkri \ r . tha f if nroa 11 f ¦* - * ¦¦ »«• K » nn t ' ntitt A . ^ ri uimiuw /
wuuu t * u *;\ jA . iyj \ jiA — viiutv iv «* ura ubii 1 it uui \ jr ± ki * i t * Ji to fact , Sir JRobert Peel has himself admitted the falsity of that statement . Her Maj ^ ty , whom the people of Ireland affecionately revere , had mado no such declaration ; and , indeed , I mu 9 t say it enhanc ^ ihe crhnihaliiy of the Lord Chancellor that he has pcrinvtted the putting forward , under the sanction of his high name , of a statement so injurious to her Majesdy , and one so strongly tending in itself to expose neE to the odum and hatr < d ( if turn > vero possible ) of her brave , loyal , aiid attached people of Ireland .
"As to the- concluding paragraph of your letter , whioh talks of the forbearance and rouciliation of tho present Government , and their desire to improve tho institutions and promote the prosper-ty 6 : Ireland , it is calculated only to move the risible faculties of every iifcht-hearifd man , and to excite the indignant , sorrow of every thinking being , ' that you hhould venture to treat the people of Ireland to a specimen of such ludicrous hypocrisy .

DUBLIN , Mat 29 . CFrom the Morning Chronicle ' s correspondent . ) . Under the fostering care of the Tories the Repeal agitation is making most tremendous progress . The . Repeal rent for ths week , announced at tho close of the meeting this evening , is £ 2 , 205 ! This is , I believe , a much larger sum than had been received in any week during the agitation which led to Catholic emancipation . At the meeting of the Repeal Association to-day a circumstance occurred which has excited the deepest sensation in this city amongst all parties . Sir Cole- ' iman O'Loghlen , Bart ., ( son of the late Master of ( the Rolls ) and ten other members of the Irish bar , iseveral of them gentlemen of extensive practice , and jail of them men who had heretofore kept aloof from ¦ the movement , gave in their adhesion to tbe association . This may be regarded as one of the first results of the Tory threats of coercion , and of the letter of . Sir Edward Sugden .
- The repeal demonstration in Longford was , even according to the correspondent of the Dublin Evening iMail , attented by 250 , 000 persons , " at the lowest computation . "
REPEAL ASSOCIATION , THIS DAY . The largo room at the Corn Exchange , and the passages leading to it , were crowded to excess from thei , opening at twelve o ' clock until the close at nearly six o ' clock this evening , and a considerable crowd remained on the quay in front of the building . At half-past twelve o ' clock , Mr . O'Connell having arrived , posted up for Longford . The Hon . Gentleman was welcomed with several rounds of most most enthusiastic cheering . The scene was one of most remarkable excitement . Mr . O'Connell said—Why you seem to be ignorant that the Chancellor has degraded me . He has dishonoured me in good company—( cheers)—in company with Lord French and Sir Michael Dillon Bellew—( cheers ) . Yes , Sir Edward Burtensh % w Sugden ( groans ) has degraded us * all —( laughter ) . I now move that the member for Kilkenny do take the chair—( cheers ) .
The chair was then taken by Mr . John O'Connell ,
MP . Mr . O'Connell moved that thetreaaurer should be at liberty to lend out , in sums of at least £ 1 , 000 , the surplus of the A&sociatien money over and above what was npt necessary for their current expenses . This resolution was actually necessary . Tbo security eftouldj be the same as stock-brokers received , namely , thj 5 public funds . —Carried . Mr .
