Yes , if the people continued as they were yesterday , violating no law , observing the peace , their Parliament wonld soon be in Goiiege-green—{ continued cheers . ) There was no talent in prophesying—there was no mental superiority in recognising the approach of Repeal .

TIPPER \ RY . Another grand demonsii-ation took pl&ce on Thursday week , at Nenagfc . ihe capital town- of the Korih Biding of Tipperary ; 450 , 000 persons are stated to have be ^ i present , a . O'Conscli slept in Thnrlea on Wediiesday night , -t the residence of the Most Rev . Dr , Slatterj , .: ; e ArcnUshop of Cashel , where a large parry wa- assembled to receivehim , ana left ior Henagh n . - » ¦ morning at ten o ' clock , accompanied by Mr . StUe . His journey was a scene of the most enthnoiaatic irinmph . Tuns did he proceed in Jriumph for twearr miieB through the country , and arrived within four miles of
Nenagh , when ho vu met by the deputation . The congregated iradea of Iimtrick , with their beautiful b ^ jht spwil ^ d banners glittering in tLo rajs of a meridian son , and the Kenagh trados carrying banners also . On , on came the shouting thousandsequestrianS j p * cestri * ns , men jronien , a&d cbUdien , inrrTing , imfil Ihe whole valley seemed to echo the Toiees of 450 , 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 banners , and , presentingMmself to the vast Emltiinde , Be was received with the nnsniiaons voice of 450 , 000 ofJfis conntrymea . There were in that Tasi crowd congrega : ed thousands who came a distanoe of fifteen and twenty

' miles to be present . The peoplo of the Kiag ' s and ' Queen ' s rount ' es , of Limerick , Clare , and Galway , I were present there , and no le $ 3 than 1 , 000 boats i freighted with human beings crowded the Shannon | from the two last mentioned counties . The platform i 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 . Scaslan , Catholic curate , rsenagh said , that a resolution had been pat into his hands , which was , * ' that Daniel O'Connell , the Liberator of Ireland , and the slrennoBS advocate of fieedom , was entitled to tbe 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 £ 55 as a portion of the contribution from the district of Nenagh—( cheers ) . :
Sir . O'Coskkia—What will Bobby Peel say to that *—( cheers ) . Mr . O'CossEii , 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 to Eillaloe the threat of Peel was despised—for " iet the recreant yield Who feared to diev " Mr . O'CosxEtL 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 most perfect tranquillity —so much powpr and might , with so little inclination to use it badly—( loud cheers ) . No country con ^ d exhibit the human form in such gigantic proportions , and no people in the world were less inclined to abuse their gigantic 'trengih . He would tell Peel that it would be better for him to let them alone—( cheer ?) . Hs would advise Wellington to have nothing to say to them—( continued cheers ) . Mot a Eir . gle 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 whose 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 might be brought up before twenty tailors of magistrates actiag at petty sessions —( cheers and laughter . ) He would tell thrtn why they came th » -re . and they should understand it distinctlythat Peel and Wellington may be able to count noses to see how many are present , and count his own as fast as he pleased . They came there to Minify their c-nicmrencs with him in seeking for a Repeal cf the Union—that there must be an Irish P ^ rli 3 raeDt ; and ihey should give Peel and Wellingum to understand that 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 c&prcssed , and that it was hirh time the
management of their own rfuir = should he placed in their own bauds . ( Hieer ? . ) Two days ago his voice was re-ccboed at the foot of the rock of Cashel , where he also addressed 200 , 000 persons who shouted atd langbed with him 3 t the threat of their enemies . ( Cheer ? . ) What , he would ask again , brought them all there that day T If he were foolish and bad enough to tell them to go to the field , where there many of them would go ! ( Cheers , and cries of ** We'd all go . " ) He ( Mr . O'Connpll ) was neither so foolish 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 Ihem a shilling ; but he wished io enlist Repealers Ly taking a shilling . Nothiag frightened them more than ihe shilling , and a man at the back of it , fOT 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 hands was lifted in the air amid great cheering . ) The revenue lost one miliion seven hundred and twenty-four pounds by that movement ; and oh ! there was no danger of their breaking any law while they were thus sober ; ( Cheers . ) Then , steady , boys , steady , was his advice , and they would yet be Tiumphant .
As soon as he concluded , Mr . Steeik was loudly called for by ihe immense maHkade , and britfiy addressed them in his usually eloquent terms , in the course of which he characterised the " Iron Duke " as the " Old Irish Indian Sepoy , ' ? and Peel ' s mother a = a SpinniEg Jenny . He was greeted with enthusiastic cheers . A dinner took place in the evening in the Temperance Hail , at which upwards of of 350 gentlemen £ . a' down at seven o'clock . The chair wa 3 taken ly Jlr . O'Bhies Dillon . Grace having been said by the Bight Kev . Dr .
Ke > : sedt , ire Chatbjias having given the usual toast proposed—% l The people , the source of all legitimate power . " Counsellor Fitzpatiuck being londly called for > said—It certaiiily requires no rhetoric to prove that tha : rne and only source of legitimate power is the people—the vacgnard in victory—the rallying point in defeat—the very post itself . Rejoice , then , every honest heart—rf-jdice , then , fdr the people are Rppealers . Your country may be mined , may be soid , 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 cheered until the very echo seemed to repeat the toast . Mr . O'Cok . nell then rose , and after silence was chained , 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 d&v bring a ticse of despondency to my mind , and make me apprehend its . success is not so certain as 1 yesterday deemed it to t-e . The two speeches which you have just heard ought 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 raX hand—that the period of thraldom is over ; and let me justify mys-elf then in telling you some of the inklings of despair which cause me uDeasineas . The people are so ready and rife that emancipation will come too soon on them . A Voice . —Repeal-Mr . WCoxsell . —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 Yoicp . —No , your Lordship . Mr . O'Cosnell —I am no lord .
The same voice . —Then yon may be a lord . Mr . O'Coknell . —I hope I may never be so ; I have a name which I would nol change with any lord in the land , and they pay me no compliment who think 1 should change it for any other . ( Cheers . ) It is vanity of course , for me to say so ; but if any man on earth is entitled to be vaiu , 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 outrage and insult ; but , they musihave ahopeof Euccessi ( Cheers . ) What did I see near ihs rock of Casbel ! A population of physical power which , if placed in the hands of Napoleon , wonld have enabled him to conquer Europe . ( Loud Cheers . ) He marched from Boiilougne into
the centre of Hungary with a smaller effective force thsn surronnded me yesterday ; and , then , he has no sach army in reserve as I saw to-day , on my way to Nenagh . ( fhcer .-. ) Yes ; the waste of physical force is exhnberaot . and no man can apprebeud that guilt is contemplated m th ? se moral displays of po polar power ; but let them tell me there is no security . ( Hear . ) lvalue > t not as a sword to strike down , bnt a shield to protect . From this spot , I say to Peel ana Wellington , and the congregated force of British statesmen , never to be absurd enough to assail those who have the protection of such a shield . ( Cfeeers . ) I find cut curious things sometimes ( laughter)—there was sent me by post an account that the Government had emploved one Abraham
Brewster { groans and iaughier ) , to put down repeal . ( Groans . ) If he were a sheep he would come to you after that cali . { Laughter . ) Here is a doenment , and it appears they are going to is > ue " a repeal caution . " ( Great laughter . ) It is publicly announced thus : " Whereas it has been yabacly announced on the blauk day of blank , ( great la . ugb . ter ) for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the union between Great Britain and Ireland . " Kow let mejuss tell yon , before I proceed farther 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 Russell , like any ether statute , liable to be repealed ; bnt the notice goes on —** And whereas we have received information on oath that if such meetings be held , a serious breach of the peace i 3 likely to ensue . " Must not that fellow be a most atrocious perjurer who would swear
that ! but what do you think of the men who would put in print the temptation of such & 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 laugh . ) *• We caution yon against going to a meeting which is not to be held . "—( Laughter . ) There ' s * beautiful caution ; like the Icgliah of the county Monaghan magistrates sent to the castle , Given under our hands and seals this blank day of blank . "—( . Laughter . ) Does any man imagine that such a proclamation Trill retard ( for one single moment the mighty national movement of Ireland 1—* " Hear , " and cheers . ) Well , then , after all , onght 1 to halt where we are I—( Cries of " No . " ) I have my next step prepared , and it is my duty to state it . I announced more than once , that when I had 3 , 000 , < K > 9 of Repealers I should take another step , and as i ^ haH have them , probably , before a fortnightj and that ea&L , west , north , and south are

arjese ? , perhaps I ought to take this opportunity ; of giving it in detail . I want to get three huudred " gentlemen who shall enjoy public confidence by bring- ; inline hundred pounds each , and that willjyield a suW of thirty thousand pounds , as a fund to pay the ex- ' pense 8-which maybeincurred . The moment the money is delivered their fnnctions cease , in point of law , ; and they must declare they were not acting as a ! delegate or representative for any person , and that ' they d | d not assume such a character . That donoj they niust get a receipt for the money , and go ' homoj ; and I'll be at liberty freely to ask 300 to : meet me in the lower room at the Corn Exchange , ; and when wo meet , I see no difficulty in forming ai 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 ini possible j to press the bill for Repeal in the House of Lords . O ; ie threat from France , or America , or Ruasiai would ; frighten them—( a laugh ) . Look at the conduct of the British Parliament in 1778 . Bafore the battle of Saratoga the Americans were provincials ; and , indeed , they were first called rebels . When Burgoyce was sent against General Gates , thelatter was designated a " storehouse-keeper , " but when he shut the great English general up in , his shop and turned the key , then ttje 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 Volunteers called for the independence of the Irish Legislature , or else , when the hint was taken by the British Parliament , whogranted the independence soughtfor . In } 792 , when Bil ! y Egau presented a petition for the Cathjlic claims , it was on the motion of Mr . Labouchere , member for Kildare , kicked out of the house ; but in the same year Dutnouriev gained ^ the great victory at Gemappe , beat the Austriaus , and that was another hint . I heard the cannon fired at the battle frcm the college of Douay , where I then was . Tne Austrians were driven out of Belgium and Liege , and the next year the British Government iravt the Irish Catho . Moi a boon . The
history of Great Britain is full of &uch examples . 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—( hear ) , He is just now , I promise you , in a bit of a doldrum ; and if that increases he will become exceedingly civil . Recollect that in 1829 , when we tained 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 boou as the Irish people combined in their moral and peaceful strength , Peel and V / ellin ^ ton were coerced to grant ii —( hear . hear . and chuerr . ) " The Ritjht Rev . L > r . Kennedy and the Catholic Hierachyof Ireland" —( cheers ) .
The Right Rev . Dr . Kpns-edt , being toudly called upon to respond to the toast , rose amidst thf most enthusiastic cheers . Af : < r silcnre was obtained , the lli ^ ht Ivcv . Prelate" addressed the audienca to the following 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 Christian clergymen to take any active part in the political » trugijles 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 Britiih 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 dimand from her , urgently but constitutionally and peaceably , the restoration of her native Parliament , of which she was basely robbed in the fatal hour of her weakness , by a combination of the foulest crimrs 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 excepted ) we are now making—we aro making it legally , constitutionally , and peaceably , and oh , shame , we are told by the British JVlinister that it never shall be conceded , except , perhaps , at the awful cost of a desolating civil war . Never 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 own 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'I , 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 have but too much reason to mourn their
melancholy triumph—( cheers ) . Threaten the people of Ireland with the horrors 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 , inveterate , 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 thnn
such a war , no mattpr what might bo the 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 moat 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 moat 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 j than the presens —( loud cheers ) .
LONGFORD DEMONSTRATION . LosGTORD . SnTTDAT . —A meeting of extraordinary magnitude took place neve 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 Ardagb , 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 the result of this uaanimity 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 surrou&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 priests of the various districts , and in many instances preojMied by musicians , 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 aa four o'clock in the morning , and that immediately afterwards the several congregations , headed by their clergymen , enmmt-nced their progress to the scene of meeting .
The 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 « filled with deasely packed masses of people .- Notwithstanding the vast area of ground thus occupied , every window and house-top , from wh : ch a 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 ihe pressure iu this enormous mass of people was so great that there were scarcely any females among the crowd .
Mr . O Conxeli-, who slept in Mullingar last night , arrived in town about two o ' clock , and was received in the jmost enthusiastic manner by the thousands assembled . He was accompanied by Dr . Higgins , Dr . Cant—ell , Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath , and Mr . Steele , and attended by a numerous esoort or respectably dressed persons on horseback . After passing through the streets ef the town , he proceeded to the plat form , which was ornamented with banners , having on them such inscriptions as " Ireland for thej Irish , and the Irish 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 ^ o be descended from one of the most illustriouj families in the country .
The Chxibhui having briefly stated the objeota of tne meeting , proceeded to enumerate the advantages which would result from carrying the RepeaL Reri M . O'Beiems , parish priest , proposed the first resolution , which was expressive of attachment to the person and throne of the Queen , and admira l tion of the British constitution , which was seconded by Mrl 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 . Pveogh , and adopted .

Tae 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 w ^ is , briefly , that they would neyerrest content until Repeal was aohieved , no matter how great and extensive the other concessions might be which the Government should choose to mike . . * , __; The Rev * Mr . M'Aver , parish priest , im posed the next resolution , which was to the ^ effect that 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 erjoyed the confidence of his peoplo , ho could hurl defiance at those selfinterested and trading politicians who had the insolence to censure his Lordship's political conduct . The Kev . Gentleman , in proposing the above" resolution , adverted to the assertion of the Earl of Wicklow , that Dr . Higgins was an obscure person , and stated that if that prelate h id attended the Castle ag others in a similar position had done , such an unfounded assertion respecting him 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 mifiht , 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 . Wiggins ; was ' of possessing the confidence and love of the people , he would forfeit them , and Ta ^ . down his unworthy life ako , rather than that it should be for a moment supposed that he entertained any but sentiments of veneration for the character of the pious , karned , and revered Archbishop Murray ; and although in his own wisdom ( and who would daro to dictate to hini ) he thought proper sometimes
to frequent the Castle , he ( Dr . Biggins ) knew that he went there in pursuance of the " most noble and charitable purposes . He ( Dr . Rigging ) never went to the Castle himself , and boasted only of being the humble chiof of an Humble priesthood , who , however ihumble . at least ppsnessed tho confidence of the people —( oheers ) . He felt that , although he was not an old man , tho grave was not many years distant from him , and that that day would soon arrive when ho should render to his God an account or all his acts , and in that holy presence-ho . now pledged himaelf that while he had an idea in his head , or a drop of blood in 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 pleadings in the cause of religion . It was supposed at the tame time that he 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 agaiii « t his character . He 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 wonjft avail himself of the opportunity which that gforioiss spectacle of nearly half a million of humau beings
assembled together afforded him to , ' administer another pledge , to which no man should respond without putting his hand to his heart and swearing to observe iu the preseuce of his Creator—( cries of " We will ") . Let all promise to ca-opef tto with the Liberator —( cries of " We do promire" ) . He took his leave of them , then ; and , humble as he was , they might behove him -when- he said that he was able to take their part in England and his own too —( ioud chesrs ) . Mr . O'Connell next addrossed the mooting at great length . It' he had no other reason to be a Repealer except the history of the county of Longford , he would bo one . ( Cheers . ) Tiiey had more contested elections there than in any other county .
and more bribery and persecution had followed the virtuous acts of tho people of that county than any other county in Ireland . In England , they could not understand the people of this country resisting the terror of their landlords , and the temptation « f bribery . There novCT had been a Parliament in which bribery was so extensively usedAb the present ; and he proudly contrasted it with the conduct of the independent men of Longford . ( Cheers . ) He charged this on the union , that all the members returned by the people of Longford had been unseated , and others seated in thuir place , who had not been returned by the people . One of his reasons for corning there was to help them to repeal that union ; and another was , the obligation he owed to their
venerated bishop , who Jived in tho hearts of hid people . What , a paltry thing for any miserable mongrel Catholic to assail such a man . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to describe the various meetings he had lately attended , and went on to say that it had been asserted there would be a oivil war , if they persovered in their present course . If there was to bi a civil war , they would at feast put their enemies in the wrong , for it should be of the making of Uieir 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 'hia deprivation of tho oifice of magistrate by the Lord Chancellor , who , he asserted , was breaking : the 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 people would obtain if they succeeded in carrying the Repeal .: He also dwelt on the physical and moral advantages of the people 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 having 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 letter 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 , arid I beg of you to believe that , if in the performance \ M a sacred duty I should use any « pressi <|| p | jpnarsh nature—which I shall studiously endeaTOtttfltb avoid—it is not my intention to say anything pftgonally offensive . But that duty obliges me to deekrje thai , as the restoration of the Irish Parliament is an event , in my judgment , 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—aright expressly declared to belong to the
people asone of * the true , ancient , and indubitable rights and liberties of the people of this realm . ' I use the words of the statute , which , it should be ^ remembered , 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 rijsjht of petition ; and the statute expressly declares— ' That all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal . ' The deprivation J Qf 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 act of the Lord Chancellor only the morje criminal . I mean to insist—and I ftiffftk the argument will have weight wi'h an Irish 't ^ hament ^' reely and fairly elected—that the aqt of the Chancellor necessarily endangers the stability of the Throne and tho security of the connection between both countries .
. " The caminission of the peace is of very small importance' i p ttte , who never acted more than once under that jeotamission . But the principle upon which thgjph&nceUor acts I utterly protest against , as being ^ ' inj its e « seuiial nature disloyal , aud dangerous atiko to the Throne and the people . " That thc ^ Repeal meetings to petition Parliament ara hod illegal , is a proposition admitted in your letter to Lucd Ffreuch ; and really you must permit me to say that it is in no slight degree absurd to allego that tfieso meetings ' bave an inevitable tendency to outrage ! ! ! ' Why meetings have been
held—aa cv . rybudy in Ireland knows , or ought-to know , as numerously—aye , and us peaceably—before the passing of the Emancipation ^ LOt as during the present Repeal agitation . There have been within the last three months more than twenty of thesu multitudinous meetings to petition without having caused a Single offence . How , then , they can have ' an inevitably tendency' to outrage , without having dver produced a single outran , is not within the comprehension of a mere Irish lawyer , although it uiay bo within the sagacity of an Euglith I hancellor !
" How can | the Chancellor be of opinion that meetings tOij ^ dtijui are not within the spirit of . the ' eon-StitutioB ^ wh ^ n the constitution itself recognizes , sanctions , a > y $ ' and 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 itr suppressing tho groans of ihfe people ; in compelling them to brood iu aiiouce over their wrpug $ and their sufferings ; and a more wronged' and i , uff « ring people exist not under the face of heaven than the Irish people . The danger to the state would consist in suppressing the
expression of popular opinion ; in damming up the constitutional c | iauuel » of relief ; and in thereby driving the people to the wiid and hideous 'justice of rovenge , ' instead of leaving them to the fair hopes of relief from the ' Houses of Parliament , and from the Throno . j " As to the argument used in your letter to Lord Ffrench with respect to the inability of thy magistrates attending meetings to rr prcSa violence , it tears diametrically ^ tho opposite way . For no individual could possibly have so direct aud personal an iuterest in preventing violence and suppressing outrage asmagistrates who-are parties to , and respon .-ible for , the dulling together of such meeting .
" With respect to your assertion that her Majesty has , like her predecessor , * expressed her determination to prevent the carrying of tha Repeal of the UiiioB , ' it has filled me with the most utter and inexpressible Astonishment . You mu * t know—and indeed I much fear you must have known when you made that assertion—that it was utterly unfounded ; m fact , Sir iRobert Peel has himself admitted the falsity of that statement . Her Maj ^ ty , whom the people of Ireland affec . ionately revere , had mado no such declaration ; and , indeed , I must say it enhancj # ihe criminality of the Lord Chancellor that he has permitted the putting forward , under the sanction of his high name , of a statement sVinjmrious to her Maje ^ tiy , and one so strongly tending in itself
to expose nen to the odum and hatred ( if tuat were possible ) of her brave , loyal , and attached people of Ireland . "As to the- concluding paragraph of your letter , which talks of the forbearance and rouciliation of tho present Government , and their desire to iuiprove tho institutions and promote the prosperity 6 . ' Ireland , it is calculated only to move the risibtc faculties of every lifeht-Leaned mau , and to excite tho indignant , sorrow of every thinking being , ' that you hhould venture to treat the people of lrelaud to a specimen of fcucii ludicrous hypocrisy .

THE MAGISTRACY IN IRELAND . The following letter ha 3 been forwarded to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland by Mr . William Smith O'Brien M . P . for the county of Limerick : — "London , May 29 , 1843 . "My Lord , —I beg to resign into the hands of your Lordship my commission of the peace for tho counties of Limerick and Clare . I am not aware that by any Jaw-now in force it is forbidden to the people bftreiand to seek tho repeal of an act of Parliament which history tells us was obtained by tho basest means , and by the foulest corruption ; and , though anxious to exhaust every hope of good government through other means before I unite with tho of that
| ft ^ ajn soliciting repeal act , I cannot tfoijseiit , to retain any office which compels me to forego the acknowledged right to hold and propagate opinions not at variance w \ th moral and statute law , which belongs to ev < ery British subject . Nor am I sorry to be rehevod ' from the responsibility of acting ; Ki § Py capacity under a Government which , while it forbids thej expression of natural indignation , losts no opportunity oi exciting well-founded discontent . ! am as anxious ^ as your Lordship in maintaining the public peace jatra the rights of property iu Ireland ; but so long as - my fellow countrymen abstain from violating any [ moral law , I diall fed it ft privilege to participate in JJvhatever indignities or bufferings

Being desirous to perform my duties as a free citizen of a free state without infringing any established law , I may be permitted to ask yoar Lordship , who arlfthe ' chief interpreter of the laws of Ireland , not more for my own guidance than for that of others , with what number of loyal , peaceful , and well-disposed persons I am at liberty to associate myself in an open jpublio meeting , in case I should be driven by continued misgovernment to ask from the British Legislature a repeal of the A ct of Union I Is the legal maximum 100 , 1 , 000 , 10 , 009 , or 100 , 000 ?

DUBLIN , Mat 25 . ( From the Morning Chronicle ' s correspondent . ) : Under the fostering care of the Tories the Repeal agitation is making most tremendous progress . The . Repeal rent for the * 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- * jman O'Loghlen , Bart ., ( son of the late Master of the Rolls ) and ten other members of the Irish bar , ! 8 overal of them gentlemen of extensive practice , and all of them men who had heretofore kept aloof from the movement , gave in their adhesion to the associaitioa . This may be regarded as one of the first results of the Tory threats of coercion , and of the letter of . Sir Ed ward Sutrden .
- The repeal demonstration in Longford was , even according to the correspondent of the Dublin Evening < Mail , attented by 250 , 000 persons , " at the lowest computation . "
REPEAL ASSOCIATION , THIS DAY . The large room at the Corn Exchange , and the passages leading to it , were crowded to excess from theii 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 Belletv—( cheers ) . Yes , Sir Edward Burtenshaw Sugden ( groans ) has degraded us all—( laughter ) . I no ! v move that the member for Kilkenny do take the cbair—( cheers ) .
The chair was then taken by Mr . John O'Connell , M . P . Mr . O'Connell moved that thetreasurer should be at liberty to lend out , in sums of at least £ 1 , 000 , ihe surplus of the Atisoci&tiea money over and above what was npt necessary for their current expenses . This resolution was actually necessary . Tho security should ; be the same as stock-brokers received , namely , th < 3 public funds . —Carried . Mr . O'Connell read the following correspondence between himself and the Secretary of the Lord Chancellor : — M Secretary ' s Office , Four Courts , "Dublin , May 23 rd , 1843 .
" Sib , —I am directed by the Lord Chancellor to inform you , that it is with regret ; that he has felt it his duty t * supersede you m a magistrate for the county of Kerry .
