IRELAKP . PROGRESS OF REPEAL . CORK . At the Cork meeting , held on Tuesday , Francis B . Eamish , major , was called . o the chair , and & 3 the Liberator took his place on the platform with E . B . Roche , Esq ., M . K , nothing could surpass the enthusiastic declarations of applause . When Alderman Daniel Murphy , and his brjtner , Nicholas Murphy . E ? q-, were recognised on the platform , they were Tc-hemeutly cheered . Tiie AIator , on taking the chair , came forward amidst loud bursts of applause , and said : —I have , in compliance with the requisition , taken the chair ft your meeting on this day ; and , in taking the chair , 1 hope I will bo excused when I candidly tell you tha : I am not to be considered bound by any resolutions passed at thi ? mc-eiing . I do not for a moment raean to contend for the value or goodnes 3 of those reso ] u : ioB 5 : but I am not to be considered as concurring in all that I may put from the chair for the approval of the meeting .
Mr . E . B . Roche , M . P ., on coming forward to propose ihe first resolution , was vehemently cheered . He said : —Whal brought them there —( cries of " Tbe Repeal )? The Repeal , the whole Repeal , and nothing DBt ihe Rvp ? al—( deafening che * rs ) Let that shout Ting from the Giant's Ca . u 5- ~ way to Cape Clear , and let Peel and Wellington take their tea out of it—{ laughter and cheer ?) . They called this sedhion—they said that the pecple were anxious for rebellion —( eries of " , no ' )—no—and tha : It
was what Yexed the villains—Usu ^ hitr ) . was they who were seditious—it was Peel and Wellington who were seditious , and Brougham , by n ^ ing the Queen ' s name against the p-. ople of Ireland—( cheers ) . The Hon . Gentlercdn ihm went ou 10 dessribe ilie iniquities of the Utioa , ru ^ d sai d : ha ; the people would attack nobody , pr < jvid-. d nobody attacked them . They would show that -uoihicg came so home to the Irish people as Repeal . Who doubled they would be succ ^ iul—I" no one ' ) I Then iiurrah for Repeal ( awful ch-.-c-riug . )
Alderman Thos . Lto > s seco ^ -Jed resolution . The Rev . Johs Faitzt proposed the ^ . eond resolution , which was seconded by Jas . Mubpht , jia ., Esq , of Mid die ton . Aiderm-ui Fag ^ n rose to propose the third resolution , and was hailed wirh grea ; chetrins . After addressing the meeting at . some-leciTth , ^ lr . Fasan moved the resolution , which he ^ aid was u finaneial one npon which he would not then dilate , but . he could prove from documents in his possession that England owed a deb : of Jf 90 > t . 00 . 0 D 0 to Ireland , and therefore , in the event of a change , they mim get that sum back— ( great cheers ) . The resolution was seconded by Aid . Hackei 7 .
Tie Rev . W . O'Scxlivax proposed the nexc resolution . H-e said he had to propose that O Gonnell , the Liberator of Ireland and the champion of human liberty —( cheers)—possessed the unbounded confidence of " the Irish people—( great cheers ) . The Rev . jIatihew Horga * seconded the resolution , which was carried with lond acclamation . Mr . Fitzgerald , J , P . ( of Muckridge ) proposed the adoption of the petition in a brief and pity speech . Alderman Damel Mvbpht came forward to second it , and was received with the most unbounded expressions of delight . He f aid .- —ilr . Chairman and fel . oTT-eitizens , I- rise with pleasure to second the petition you have heard , for the Repeal of ihe Legislative Union—( tremendous cheering ); and , in doing so , I feel tint it is my duty to explain to you the cause why I have so long siaid
aloof from ibe people in th ^ ir agitation for Repeal —( cheers ) . I do confess that I consider the pr < sent a most important movement , one almost ^ mourning in its nature to the character of a revo '^ utien . 1 was deterred from joining in it at first , because 1 deemed u t a mtasuie inv-rattieable , snd thai ii could not be accomplished ; bui I confess tha : the results of the last fix or seven weeks , and what 1 have beheld within ihe las ' , few days , produced a great and powerful impression en my mind— ( cheers ) , I beheld the feeling increasing and the movement swelling like the ocean , until ii has become irresistible—( tremendous cheering ) ; asd I now am aloag with the people—( renewed cheering ) . I have been with them for forty years—( cheers ) . I felt out ci my element when I was iiot warking w ; th ticni ; and now in thai legal and con ^ titntioDal i-iro ^ ic which the Liberator alone sanciieus , 1 am with ) oa —( lond cheers ) .
Mr . O'Co >> eix then came forward amid tumnltous applause , When sr-eoce was restored , he said—The first topic he would address them on was to express his heartfelt del ^ Lt & « the scene of yesterday—( vehement cheers . ) He-had fceen an agiutjr for many years , but never did he see anything to equal it—thirty bands , thousands of tradesmen , thou-Eandsof people , and mothers wkh infants in th'ir arms—( loud applause . ) He was told that the soldiers were locked up . He was ? orry to beam . He did not regard the scene as a mere compliment to himself , but there conld be no duubt that he was delighted with the several thoosind 3 of ey * s tba : beamed joy and gladness upon him ; and as he passed each group the cheers rended th ? heavens ,
and each ¦» oice mingled ia its aspirations i&r liberty , a kindly compliment to him—{ . vehement cheers . ) He did not know what Peel and Wellington would say of that scene when thty heard of it—( loud applause . Ye ? , if the people continue 1 as they were yesterday , violating no law , obsc : rv ; i ><; the peace , their Parliament would soon be in Collt-ge-green—( continued cheers . ) There was do talent in prophesying—there was no mental superiority in recognising the approach of Repeal . S ^ e the progress the question was daily Tnafcln ^ . . Only the other day he addressed 130 , 000 Dlstermen , double that camber in Ccnnaught and Leinster , and hurrah now for Mncfier —( cheers . ) As far as Ireland was concerned there was no denying the triumphant , maj ^ tic—ay ,
and irress-able progress of Repes!— ( continued cheering . ) In their own city and county cou : d anything be more remarkable than in it progress?—( hear , hear . ) Only the other day he enlisied Mr . Shea Lalor , a country gentlemen of great worth and patriotism —( loud cheers . ) Only yesterday Mr . Fitzgerald , of Muckridge , a gentleman &f ancient family and independent fortune ^ , magistrate of their county , only yesterday he joined the standard . Yesterday too , they had the talented accession of his friend , Mr . Fagan , who was not a thorough Repealer until the people persuaded him—( cheers . ) There was no man of higher mmd aad purer principles than Mr . Fasan —( loud cheer ? . ) His respected friends ; the Murphy family , like himself , springing from and of the
people—a family as high for virtue , for honour , and "worth , as any in existence—( loud applause )—a family of great wealth , and independence , and public Epiri : —( hear , hear ) . But it was not in progress of mnititnuinons meetings that he recognised the eanse of Ireland ' s prosperity triumphing—other evidences were given him . They remembered when he plead t d in their courts of justice —( loud cheers ) . They did not forget that ; and thai he there examined his ¦ witnesses . He had now two more witnesses to bring forward ; and those were the Duke of Wellington and PeeL For the first time in his liferWellington had bc-en guilty of making a prond boast which he eouic not realize . But the other day he seemed to head the charge against Ireland with the martial brow of the warrior when commanding the guards to be " up and ai them . " He said that he would coerce the people of Ireland—that he would put down the Repeal agitation—that he had power to
coerce them . The poor old gentleman—( laughter . ) He was glad that they laughed at the Duke , Another laugh for him —( shouts of laughter ) . He hoped that fact would reach him , that they laughed at him—( continued laughter ) . Tne first scholarship the Duke . received ¦ wa ? , what the people of Ireland taught him 1 Old Wellington ( continued Mr . O'Coaueli ) we l&JOgb at jenr threats—we scorn them—( loud applaus-- ) - Then came Sir Robert Peel the hypocrite , who , like the wdl- trained pickpocket in Dublin , who , having nothing < - = ; e to do , picked his own pocket . HeSrst deceived others and then hic ? elf— ( hear , hear ) . The new-papers c ^ de Peel say that the Queen—their glov-i- ; s little Qv ** -n—Gc"i bless her—¦—( lond cheers ) , \ v _ ; det-nrnned to prevent Repeal . This was Pesl's nev- reaper thr . 2 t , not the Queen ' s ; no : a word of it diu . e utter , and he would say that he ¦ would not give hi- confidence to , or support any administration which <* id not phege itself to impeach Peel for this audacuv—he meant the audacious
forgery wh-rb had bten ma-ie for him by the newspapers—( loud cheer ?) . Well , they would put cov . n the Repeal— ( laughter ) . Yes , as they said in Kerry , " iBorqyo' "—( lond spr . ause ) . Alderman Dajuel Mcrpht having been called to the chair , thanks wtrc unanimously voted to the Mayor , and the imnsecie mtewing separated amidst Tenement cheers for the Qaeen , Oid Ireiiitd .

TIPPERAKY . ^ Another grand- demonstration took place on Thursday week . a . t Nenagh , ih ^ -apital town of the . North Riding of Tipperary ; 4 ' > OtiO persons are stated to have been present . Mr . ¦ ' " Connell slept in ThnrJes on Wednesday night , a-. = he re ~ idti . ee of the Most Rev . Dr . Slattery , ihe Archbiiiiop of Cashed , where a large party was r ^ embled to receive him , and left for Nensgb nex- . .-ruing a : t * n o ' clock , accompanied by Mr . Steelc His journey was a scene of the most enthusiastic triumph . T ^ 'is did be proceed in triumph for twenty zules through the conntry , and arrived within four inlesof
Nenagh , when he wa « met by the deputai . on . The congregated trades of Limerick , with their beautiful bright spangled banners glittering in the rays of a meridian son , and the Nenagb traders carrying banners also . On , on came the shouting thousandsequestrians , pedestrians , men , women , and children , hurrving , nntil the whole ralley seemed to echo the Toices of 450 , 000 human beings . As the carriage arriTed at the foot of the hill the Liberator alighted and walked up to the platform preceded by the tanners , aad , presenting himself to the vast multitude , he was received with the unanimous voice of 450 , 000 of his countrymen . There were in that vast crowd congregated thousands who came a distance of fifteen and twenty

miles * o be present . The people of the King ' s and Q j sen ' s count' es , of Limerick , Clare , and Gahvay , were present there , and no less 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 , of Cabra Castle , was called to the chair amid the acclamations of the meeting .
The Rev . Mr . Scaslan , Catholic curate , rsenagh said , that a resolution had been put into his hands , which was , " that Daniel O'Connell , the Liberator of Ireland , and the strenuous advocate of freedom , was entitled to the unlimited confidence and unbounded gratitude of the Irish people "—( cheers ) . He had great pleasure in moving the rrsolutton which was confided to his care , and at the same time to hand to the Liberator of his country £ 65 a 3 a portion of the contribution from the district of Nenagh—( cheers ) .
Mr . O'Co . NsrLL—What will Bobby Peel say to tha ^ ?—( cheers ) . Mr . O'Con > ell , of Ennis , then presented himself , and was received with loud cheers . He would not take up 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 Killaloa the threat of Peel was di spised—for " Let the recreant yield Who feared to die . " Mr . O'Connell then presented himself , and was received with tha most enthusiastic cheering we ever heard . As soon as silence was restored , he piid—No country in the world save Ireland—no country but Ireland could produce such physical
force , combined with the most perfect tranquillity —so much pow . r and might , with so little inclination to uso it badiy—( kud cheers ) . No country couid exhibit the human form in such gigantic proportions , and nu people in the world were less inclined to abuse their gigantic ' tTength . He would tell Peel that it would be better for him to let them alone—( cheers ) . Ho would advise Wellington to have nothing to say to them—( continued cheer .- ) . Nat a single act oi riot or violence would , however , be committed by that vast multitude—Coud cries of " No , no . ") If they had a mind to piease Brereton , one of who ^ e men shot another last night , they would commit a riot—( a laugh ) . Hew thankful the party would be that they knocked down a man , that
he ni'ght be brought up before twenty tailors of maj > i ? Tate 3 acting at petty sessions —( cheers and laughrer . ) He would tell them why tLey came there , and they should understand it distinctlythat Peel and Wellington may bo able to count noses to see how many are present , and count his own as fast as he pleased . They came there to signify their concurrence with him in seeking for r R-peal of the Union—that there mnst ba aa Irish Parliament ; and they should give Peel and Wellington to understand that they were fixedly determined that Ireland should be governed by Irishmen , and for Irishmen—( bear , and cheere)—that they were tired of Saxon misrule—they were tired of being oppressed , and that it was hith time the
management of their own affairs should be placed in their own hands . ( Cheers . ) Two days ago his voice was re-echoed at the foot of the rock of Cashel , where he also addressed " 200 , 1100 persons who shouted atd laughed with him at the threat of their enemies . ( Cheers . ) What , he would 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 msny of them would go ! ( Cheers , and cries of " "tt e ' d all go . " ) He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was neither so foolirh nor so wicked , and he would do their business much better . There was another thing which h * wished they would do . John Bull generally
enlisted mt-n by giving them a shilling ; but lie wished to enlist Repealers by taking a shilling . Nothing frightened them more than ihe shilling , and a man ai the back of it , for it showed that the people were in earnest . ( Hear . ) Irc ! and should be a nation , for she had too long endured the rule of the Saxon . Had hr any teetotallers there 1 ( Here a fore > t of hands was lifted in the air amid great cheering . ) The r .-venue lost one million seven hundred and twenty-four pounds by that movement ; and oh ! there w . is no danger of their breaking any law wiii ! e they were thu- sober . ( Cheers . ) Tnen , st-.-idy , boys , sieariy , was hisadvice , and they would vet be rriumpliar .:.
As soon as he concluded , Mr . Steele was loudly cabled for by the immense multitude , and briefly ruiiiressed 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 Spinning Jenny . He v \ 3 a greeted with enthusiastic cheers . A diiiT-er took place in the evening in the Temperamv Hall , at which upwards of of 350 genilemen sat down at seven o'clock . The chair was taken i-y Mr . O'Bbien Dillon . Grace having been said by the Right Rev . Dr . Kennkdy , The Chaibman having given the usual toast
proposed—** The people , the source of all legitimate power . ' Counsellor Fitzpatbick being loudly called for ' said—It certainly requires no rhetoric to prove that the true and only source of k ,-itimate power is the people—the varguard in victory—the rallying point in defea *—the verv post itsdf . Rejoice , then , every honest hear *—rejoicp , then , for the people are Reptalers . Your country m ^ y be ruined , may be sold , by her aristocracy ; she lives to be redeemed by her peopl- ? .. TheCHAiRMvN then gave "Daniel O'ConneU , the Libprator oi his country . " The cheers wi'h which thn 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'Conxell then ross , and after silence was obtained , said—Yon will probably meet me with a smile of disbelief , and perhaps even with a sneer of ir . crednlity , when I tell you that the scenes of this day bring a tinge of despondency to my mind , and make me apprehend its succe « 3 is not so ceitain as I yesterday deemed it to be . Tbe two speeches which you have just heard ought to console me—the power and deqaence of my excellent friend by me , and ti : e eloquent ecomiums of my yonng friend at the end of the table , both would induce me to hope that the period or Ireland's delivtry is ct band—that the period « f thraldom is ov « . r ; and let me justify my-* elf thtii in telling you ' some of the inkiings ol despair wnich cause me uneasiness . The people are so ready and rife that emancipation will come too soon on them .
A Voice . —Repeal Mr . O'Cosnell . —Did I = ay emancipation instead of repeal ? Then , if so , the mistake i- > not a powerful nne , for there cannot be any emancipation without a repeal . ( Cheers . ) A Vr-ic" . —No , your Lordship . Mr . O ' Connell . — I am no lord . The same voice . —Then you may he a lord . Mr . O'Connlll . —I hope I maj never be to ; I have a name which I would not change with any lord in the land , and they pay me no compliment who think 1 should change it for any other . ( Chcer 3 . ) It is var . uy of course , for me to say so ; 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 3 nd forbear , " they wait for the good time patiently , under every outrage and insult ; bui , they must have a Lope of success . ( Cheers . ) What d : d I see near tb . 2 rock of Cashel ! A population of phys-cai power which , if placed in the hands of Napoleon , would have enabled him to conquer Europe . ( Loud Cheer ?) He marched from Bonlougne into the centre of Hungary with a smaller effective force than surrounded me yesterday ; and , tbei :, ho has no ? ueh army in reserve as I siw to-day , on my wav to Nenaeh . ( Cheer-. ) Yes ; the waste of phyicll force is exLuberan ; . rnd no man can apprebenf ; that guilt is contemplated in thsse moral displays of popular power : but lee them tell me there is no fcecurity . iH-ar . ) I vaiue it not ae a sword to strike down , but a shield to protect . From this spot , I sayto Peel and Wellington , and tbe congregated force of British statesmen , never to be absurd enough to
assail those who have the protection of such a shield . ( Caeers . ) I Snd cut enrious lhing 3 somttimei ( laugnter )—there v ? a 3 ? ent me by post an account that the Government had employed one Abraham Brewster ( groans and laughter ) , to put down repeal . ( Groans . ) If ha were a sheep ho would come to you after that call . ( Langhic-r . ) Here is a document , and it appears they tre going to issno " a repeal caution . " ( Great laughter . ) It is publicly announced thur : 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 just uU you , before I proceed fcr-her 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 ; but the notice goes on — " And whereas we have received information on
oath that if such meetings be held , a serious breach of the peace is likely to ensue . " ilust 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 such a lie on oath ? He goes on— " We hereby caution all persons whatever from attending said meetings , as we are determined preventing same . " There ' s castle English for yon—( A . laufth . ) We caution you against going to a meeting which is not to be held . "—( Laughter . ) There ' s a beautiful caution ; like the English 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 will retard for one single momen : the mighty national movement o Ireland ?—( " Hear , " and cheers . ) Well , then , after all , ought 1 to halt where we are 1- ( CrieB of " No . " ) I have my next step prepared , and it is my duty to state it . 1 am . ouuced more than once , that when I had 0 , 000 , ' 000 vf Repealers i should take another step , and as 1 shall have them , probably , before a fortnight , and that east , west , north , and south are

arousbc , perhaps I ou ^ ht to take this opportunity of giving it iu detail . I want to get three hundred gentlemen who shall enjoy public confidence by bringin one hundred pounds each , and that willjy teld a sum of thirty thousand pounds , as a fund to pay the expenses which may bo incurred . 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 must get a receipt for the money , and go homo ; and I'll 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 geutlemen 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 press the bill for Repeal in the House of Lords . One threat from France , or America , or Russia would frighten them—( a laugh ) . Look at tho conduct of the British Parliament in 1778 . Before the battle of Saratoga the Americans were provincials ; and , indeed , they were first called rebels . When Burgoyr . e was sent against General Gates , tho latter was designated a " fitorehousc-keeper , " but when he shut the great English general up in his shop and turned the key , then the Americans , instead of * ' rebels" and " provincials" were called
" enemy , " and then tho 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 1702 the Volunteers called for the independence of the Iri ^ h Legislature , or else , \\ hen the hint was taken by the British Parliatrent , whogranted the independence Fought for . In 1702 , when Billy Egan presented a petition for the Catholic claims , it was on the motion of Mr . Labouchero , member for Kildare , kick * d out of the house ; but in tho pauio year Dumourier gained the great victory at Gemapp : \ beat the Austrian . " , and that was another hint . 1 heard the cannon fired at the bat ' . le frcm the college of Douay , where I then was . The Austrians were driven ouiuf
Belgium and Liege , and tho next year tho British Government gaw the Irish Catholics a boon . The history of Great Britain is full of such examples . When John Buil is terrified he is an exceedingly persuadable person ; bnt suppose he continues proud and obstinate , he has the question of the Scotch Church on bis hand ?—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 dolorum ; and if that increases he will become exceedingly civil . Recollect that iu 1829 , when wo tamed emancipation , we had not the advantage of tho English finances being deranged , or a smothered charter insurrection , which is ready to bur .= t forth every moment with redoubled fury . We had England at peace at home , and with the world beside , in a high , and proud , and palmy state ; yet as soon as the Irish people combined in their nforal and peaceful strength , Peel and Wellington were coerced to grant it—( hear , hear , and chatr ^ . )
* The Right Rev . Dr . K .-unedy and tho Catholic Hierachyof Ireland" —( cheery . 1 The Right Rev . Dr . K ' ensldy , being loudly called upon to respond to the toast , rose nmidet tho most enthusiastic cheers . Af er sileuco was obtained , the Right Rev . Prelate addressed the audienc 9 to the following effect : —1 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 bcoming the sacred character of Christiun clergymen to take any active part in the political tXiugnle-s 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-Joving nation of 8 000 , 000 or 9 , 000 , 000 , which has contributed so essentially to the grea ' ness and glory of England , and which is now herself ( thank God ) too great to be dragged at the tail of any other nation , should demand from her , urgently but constitutionally and peaeeably , the restoration of her native Parliament , of which she was basely robbed in the fatal hour of her weakness , by a
combination of tbe foulest crimes that ever disgraced a country calliDg itself Christian—( cheers ) . This demand which the greatest men , both in England and Ireland prediot , must bo one day mado ; this demand in which Irishmen of all classes and creeds are at least equally interested ( the absentees alono exempted ) we are now making—wo aro making it legally , constitutionally , and peaceably , and oh , shame , we are told by the British xMinister that it never shall be conceded , except , perhaps , at the awful cost of a desolating civil war . N « . ver did a more unwise declaration proceed from tho lips of a : iy statesman , never did one betray more senseless passion , 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 icercy to boih countries avert , —it wi'l , I greatly fear , and I shudder whilo I think of it , b < s a wur o ! so bloody , so deadly , and so devastating a character , that the vieksrs , 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 ) . Oil , no , there ig 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 be the issue—( continued cheers ) . Tnis 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 . Losgfobd , Sunday . —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 ou the occasion was ad- ! dressed to the inhabitants of the county of Longford ; but , as might have been expected from the course pursued by Dr . Higgins , the Koman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh , in reference to the question of Repeal , the entire body of the clergy , of whom he is the j spiritual head , have , without an exception , strenu-1 ou ? ly exerted themselves to promote the present \ agitation , and tie result of this unanimity has been , I 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 \ surrouading counties , was present at the meeting of . ' to-day . From the hour of eight o ' clock in the morn- i ing largo bodies of the peasantry , headed by the ! parish priests of the various districts , and in many instances preceded by musicians , dressed in military I
costume ? , continued to pour into the town through- j out 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 tho moriiing , an < i that immediately afterwards tho J several ronvregations , headed by their clergymen , eomnr need their progress to the scene of meeting . The place selected for the demonbtration was that part of the main-street of Longford , exactly oppo-, site the Dublin-road , and a large platform was
erected , where a view of it could be obtained from lour broad and long roads , which , as tho hour ( tivo o'clock ) appointed for holding the meeting appointed , wer « filled with densely packed masses of p--ople . Notwithstanding the vast area of ground thus occupied , every window and house-top , from which a glimpse of the place of meeting could be obtained , had its occupants also . At tho lowest compulation there ware 250 , 000 persona present when tho meeting commenced ; and the pressure iu this enormous mass of people was so great that there were scarcely anj' ftmali . s among the crowd .
Mr . O'Co . N . N ' . LL , who slept in Mullingar last night , arrived in town about two o ' clock , and was received in the mo :-t enthusiastic manner by the thousands assembled . He was accompanied by Dr . Higgins , Dr . Cam well , Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath , aud Mr . Steele , and attended by a numerous escort of respectably dressed persons on horseback . After passing through the streets ef the town , he proceeded to the plat fore , which was ornamented with banners , having on them such inscriptions as " Ireland for the Irish , and ihe Irish for Ireland , " & . o . Tne principal platform , and several smaller ones erected near it , were crowded ly the clergy and farmers of the surrounding districts . Shortly before three o'dock the chair was taken by Count Nugent , justice of tho peace , of Ktllesonna , who was stated by Dr . Higgma to be descended from one of the most illus * trious families in the country .
The Chaihmaw having briefly stated the objeoti of the meeting , proceeded to enumerate the advantages which would reault from carrying the Repeal . Rer . M . O'Beikne , parish priest , proposed the first resolution , which was expressive of attachment to the person and throne of the Queen , and admiration of the British constitution , which was seoouded by Mr . P . Keon , and passed unanimously . Rev . Mr . Dawson , parish priest , moved the next resolution , to tho effect that the benefit of the British constitution could not be secured to this country by a foreign Parliament . It was seconded by Mr . Reogh , and adopted .

Tho next resolution embodied the sentiment , that nothing but Repeal could restore Ireland to tha position in which she should stand . It wa 3 moved by Mr . Carberry , and seconded by the Very Rev . Dean Farrelly . The several movers and seconders of the resolutions spoke to them at considerable length , and the substance of their . observations was , briefly , that they would never rest content until Repeal was achieved , no matter how great and extensive the other concessions might be which the Government should choose to make .
The Rev . Mr . M'Aveb , parish priest , proposed tho next resolution , which was to the effect that Dr . Higgins , their venerated and beloved Bishop , was entitled to the gratitude of tho clergy and laity of the county of Longford , for the determined and charitable manner in which he advocated the cause of Repeal , and that while he enjoyed the confidence of his people , he could hurl defiance at those selfinterested and trading politicians who had the insolence to censure his Lerd&hip ' sj political conduct . The Rev . 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 hid attended the Castle as 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 might , by possibility , be liable to misconstruction . The language which his Rev . Friend had used was strong , but he was at the same timo honest ; 'i his purpose ; but proud as he ( Dr . Higgins ) Ha-, of possessing tho confidence and love ofthopeiple , he would forfeit them , and lay down his unworthy lifo also , rather than that : t should be for a moment supposed that he entertained any but sentiments of veneration for iVr- character of the pious , learned , and revered Archbishop Murray ; and although iu hia own wisdom ( and who would dare to dictate to liini ) ho thought proper sometimes to frcquont the Cuxtle , he ( Dr . Higgins ) knew that
he went there in pursuanco of the most noblo and charitable purpwsea . He ( Dr . Ilig ^ ins ) never went to the Castle himself , and boasted only of being the humble chief of a , a humble priesthood , who , however humble , at least pos .-ess .: d tho confidence of the people—( cheers ) . He felt that , although he was not an old man , the grave was uot many years distant from him , and that that day woul
politician , but ho would be a just man to the day of his death . He did not therefore intend to recrimii : a . re , and scorned tp retaliate or use the language of ribaldry which had been by others directed against 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 would avail himself of the opportunity which that glorious spectacle of nearly half a million of human 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 presence of his Creator—( cries of " Wo will ") . Let all promise to co-oper ite with the Liberator —( oriea of " We do promire" ) . He took hid leave of them , then ; and , humble as ho was , they might believe him when he said that he was able to take thtir part in England and his own too—Coud che-rs ) .
Mr . O'Connf . ll next addressed the meeting at great length . If he had no other reason to be a Repealer except ihe Imtory of the county of Longford , he would be one . ( Cheers . ) They had more contested elections there than in any other county , and more bribery and persecution had followed tho virtuous acts of the 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 of bribery . There never had been a Parliament in which bribery was so extensively used aa the present ; and he proudly contrasted it with the conduct of the independent men of Longford . ( Cheers . ) He charged tin ' s on the union , that a }] tho members
returned b y the people of Longford had been unseated , aud others seated in their place , who had not boen returned by the people . One of his reasons fov coming there was to help them to repeal that union ; and another was , the obligation he owed to their venerated bishop , who lived in the hearts of his people . What & paltry thing for any miserable mongrel Catholic to assail , « uch a man . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to describe tho various meetings ho had lately attended , aud went on to say that it had been asserted there would be a civil war , if they persevered in their present course . It" there was to be a civil war , they would at leas ' , put their enemies in tho wrong , for it should bo of the making of their onemies , and if they attack the people , in tho namo of the people he defied them . He was not a slave , nor would ever consent to he one . If they passed an Act of Parliament , he would obey it , but probably he would find means of running a
coachand six through it—( cheers ) . He promised th . m that whatever iaw was passed , they should be protected , and when that was done in the name of the Q'icen and the Constitution , he set their enemies at defiance—( cheers ) . He then proceeded to advert to his deprivation of the office of magistrate by the Lord Chancellor , who , he asserted , was breaking the law , by 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 . Gentleman 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 , aud their success was certain . The usual petition to Parliament having been adopted , and thanks given to Count Nugent for his conduct in thy chair , the meeting separated .
DUBLIN , May 29 . ( From the Morning Chronicle ' s cor respondent . J Under the fostering care of the Tories the Repeal agitation is making most tremendous progress . The Repeal rent for tho week , announced at the 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 Coleman O'Loghlen , Bavt ., ( son of the late Master of the Rolls ) and ten other members of the Irish bar , several of them gentlemen of oxtenpive practice , and all of them men who had heretofore kept aloof from the movement , gave in their adhesion to tbe association . This may bo 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 Mail , attented by 250 , 000 persons , " at the lowest computation . "
REPEAL ASSCCfATFON , THIS DAY . The large room at the Corn Exchange , and the passages leading to it , were crowded to excess from the 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 Hoa . 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 mo . He has dishonoured me in good company—( cheeTs)—in company with Lord French and Sir Michael Dillon Bellow—( cheers ) . Yes , Sir Edward Burtenshaw Sugden ( groans ) has degraded us all —( laughter ) . I now move that the member for Kilkenny do take the ohair—( cheers ) . The chair was then taken by Mr . John O'Connell
M . P . Mr . O'Connell moved that the treasurer should be at liberty to . lend out , in sums of at least £ 1 , 000 , the surplus of the Association money over and above what was not necessary for their current expenses . This resolution was actually necessary The security should be the same as stock-brokers received , namely , the public funds . —Carried . Mr . O Connell read the following correspondence between himself and the Secretary of the Lord Chancellor : — ; " Secretary ' s Office , Four Courts , "Dublin , May 23 rd , 1843 .
" Sir , —I am directed by the Lord Chancellor to inform you , that it is with regret that he has felt it his duty to supersede you u a magistrate for the county of Kerry . I beg to enclose a copy of a letter , written by the Lord Chancellor ' s direction to Lord Ffrench , which will explain to you the grounds upon which this step has been taken .

Britain and Ireland , I found before me your letter of the 23 rd . instant . For the 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 be exceeded by you in courtesy , and I beg of you to believe that , if in the performance of a sacred duty I should use any expression of a harsh nature—which I shall studiously endeavour to avoid—it is not my intention to say anything personally offensive . But that duty obliges me to declare that , as the restoration of the Irish Parliament is an event , in my judgment , not remote , I will avail myself of the opportunity afforded by a s * at in tho Irish House of Commons -to rriove 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 expressly declared to belong to the people as one of * the trae , ancient , and indubitable rights and liberties of tho 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 right of petition ; and the statute expressly declares— ' That all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal . ' The deprivation of the commission of the peace may not be technically a prosecution . But it is intended as a punishment ; aud punishment without prosecution would mako tho act of tho Lord Chancellor only the more criminal . I mean to insist—and I think the argument will have woight with an Irish Parliament , freely and fairly elected—that the act of the Chancellor necessarily endangers the stability of the Throne and tho security of the , connection , between both countries . " The commission of the peace is of very small importance to me , who never aeied more than once under that commission . But , tho principle upau which the Chancellor acts I utter y protest against , as being in its essential nature disloyal , and dangerous alike to tho Throne and th « people . " That fha Repeal meetings to petition Parliament are not illegal , is a proposition admitted in your letter to Lord Ffreneh ; and really you mu- ~ t permit me to say that it is in no Flight degree absurd to allege that these meetings 'have an inevitable tea-. dency to outrage ! ! ! ' Why meetings have been held—as everybody in Ireland knows , or ought to know , as numerously—aye , and as peaceably—before the passing of the Emancipation Act as during the present . Repeal agitation . There have been within the la&t three months more than twenty of these multitudinous meetings to petition without having caused a single offence . How , then , they can havo ' an inevitable tendency' to outrage , without having ever produced a single outrage ., is not within the comprehension of a mero Irish lawyer , although it may be within the sagacity of an English Chancellor ! " How carj the Chancellor be of opinion that meetings to petition are not within the spirit of the con- ] stitution , when the constitution itself recognizes , sanctions , aye , and enforces th « right so to pcution . ? And as to the notion ol their becoming dangerous to the safety of the state , the danger to ' the state would ' in reality consist in &uppvcssmg ihe groans of the people ; in compelling them to brood in siience over their wrongs and their bufferings ; and a more wronged and suii ' er ing people exist not under the face of heaven than the Irish people . The danger to the state would consist in suppressing the expres- ' sion of popular opinion ; ia damming up the constitutional channels of relief ; and in thereby driv- i ing the people to the wild and hideous 'justice of revenge , ' instead of leaving them to the fair hopes ¦ of relief from the Houses of Parliament , and from ' the Throne . ¦ " As to the argument used in your letter to Lord Ffrench with respect to the inability of the magistrates attending meetings to repr ss violence , 't bears diametrically the opposite way . Forno individual could possibly have so direct and personal an interest in preventing violence and suppressing outrage as > magistrates who are parties to , and responsible for , ' the calling together of such meetings . j " Wich respect to your assertion that her Majesty has , like her predecessor , ' expressed her determina- ' tion to prevent the carrying of the Repeal of the ' Union , ' it has filled me with the most uncr and in- ' expressible -astonishment . You must know—and indeed I much tear you must have kuown when yon made that assertion—that it was utterly unfounded ; in fact , Sir Robert Peel has himself admitted the 1 falsity of that statement . Her Maje 3 ty , whom the people of Ireland affec . ionately revere , had mado no such declaration ; and , indeed , I must' say it en-1 hance 8 the criminality of the Lord Chancellor that ' he has permitted the putting forward , under the ' sanction of his high name , of a statement' so injurious ' to her Majesty , and one so stronglyHcnding in itself to expose hot to the od < um and hatr ; d ( : f that were possible ) of her brave , loyal , and attached people of ' Ireland . j " As to the concluding paragraph of your letter , j which talks of the forbearance and conciliation of ! the present Government , and their dosire to improve | the institutions and promote the prosperity ot he- ' land , it is calculated only to move the risible facul- > ties of every light-hearted man , and to excite the in- : diguant sorrow of every thinking being , that you should venture to treat the people of Ireland to a i specimen of such ludicrous hypocrisy . " I have the houour to be , Sir , your most obedient servant , " Daniel O'Connell . " To Henry Sudgen , Esq . " Mr . O'Connell next read a letter from Sir Coleman O'Loghlen , tho son of the late Master of the Rolls , giving iu hie adhesion to the movement for Repeal . The following barristers were enrolled : —Mr . J . Barry , Denny Lane . Francis Brady , Thomas O'Ha *? an , Thomas M'Nevin , Ik . O'Dowd , Michael > . O'Farrell , John Macken , Robert Ferguson , and Jame 3 R . O'Flana ^ an , £ ? qrs . Tho admission ' of these gentlemen excited tho most enthusiastic applause . Mr . O'Ccm . NELL handed in the sum of £ 1224 73 . 4 d . from the county of Tipperary . ( Tremendous cheering ) Mv . Doiieny , barrister , said he was authorised to i move that tho contributors to that sum be admitted members ol tho association . He had tho pleasure to move that eighty-six of them be enrolled volunteers , haviDg given or colli cted more than £ 10 each—860 \ members and 17 , 214 associates . ( . Passed with ; applause . ) ] j Mr . O'Hagah , barrister , having been admitted a member , addressed the Meeting at some length . He said ho was induced to join the association from J the unconstitutional proceeding of Sir Edward I Sugdeu in punishing ii . cn for tho fair and legal j expression of their opinions , which he did not dare to say were unconstitutional or unlawful . ( Load cheers . ) * A considerable number of communications from various parts of the country were read , inclosing money to a large amount . At tho cloye , Mr . O'Connell announced the week ' s rent to be £ 2 , 20 . 3 15 * . 3 J . The announcement was received with rapturous and lo ; . ^ continued cheering . The association then adjourned . MORE DISMISSALS OF MAGISTRATES . Three more magistrates have been superseded to day—namely . Caleb Powel , Esq ., M . P ., Limerick ; John O'H ^ a , Evq ., Cork ; R . Uillon Browne , Etq ., M . P ., Mayo . THE MAGISTRACY IN IRELAND . The following letter has been forwarfed to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland by Mr . William Smith O'Brien M . P . for tho county of Limerick : — " London , May 29 , 1843 . " My Lord , —I beg to resign into tho hands of your Lordship my commission of tho peace for the countie 3 of Limerick and Clare . I am not aware that by any ^ Uw now in force it is forbidden to thepeople of Ireland to see ! t the repeal of an act of Parliament which history tells us was obtained by the basest means , and by the foulest corruption ; and , though anxious to exhaust every hope of good government through other means before I unite with them in soliciting the repeal of that act , I cannot , consent to retain any office which compels me to forego the acknowledged right to hold and propagate opinions not at variance with moral and statute law , which belongs to every British subject . Nor am I sorry to be relieved from the responsibility of acting hi any capacity under a Government which , while it forbids the expression of natural indignation , lo ? ts no opportunity of exciting well-founded discontent . I am as anxious as your Lordship in maintaining the public peace and the rights of property in Ireland ; but so long as my fellow countrymen abstain from violating any moral law , I shall fuel it a privilege to participate iu whafever indignities or sufferings may be inflicted upon them by their anti-Irish rulers . Being desirous to perform my duties as a free citizen of a free state without infringing any estab-; lished law , 1 may be permitted to ask your Lordship , 1 who are the chief interpreter of the laws of Ireland , not more for my own guidance thau for that of others , ! with what number of loyal , peaceful , and well-disposed persons 1 am at liberty to associate myself | in an open public meeting , in case I should be driven by continued misgovernment to apk from the British Legislature a repeal of tbe Act of Union ? Is the legal maximum 100 , 1 , 000 , I 0 , 00 d , or 100 , 000 ? Does the law , as interpreted by your Lordship , apply equally to England ! I hare tbe honour to be , Your obedient servant , " William S . O'Briek . 14 To the Lord Chancellor of Ireland . " DISMISSAL OF LORD FFRENCH FROM THE COMMISSION OF THE PEACE .

! ! j " Secretary ' s Office , Four Courts I Dublin , May 23 , 1843 ' My Lord , —I have the honour to ackaowUJ ™ your Lordship ' s letter of the 19 th instant statin that it was your intention to attend the repeal m ** ing at Cultra , as well as that which ia to h * hSrti « Athlone , and I am directed by the Lord ChancS to iuform your Lordship that he regrets he has f-u it his duty to direct your Lordship to be supersede ! i as a magistrate for the county of Gal way n v been his earnest desire not to interfere withth expression of opinion by any magistrates in fara ^ I of repeal , although from his first arrival herehf deemed it inconsistent with the determination of W Majesty ' s Governnment to uphold the union betwe ^ Great Britain and Ireland , to appoint aa a Ma ^ trute any penon pledged to the repeal of that Union " Her Majesty ' s Government having recently declawH in both Houses of Parliament their fixed determinsT ; tion to maintain the Union , it becomes the duty of the members of the Government to support that 1 declaration . The allegation that the numeros ! : repeal meetings are not illegal does not d ' amiUh their inevitable tendency to outrage ; and couaidpT ; ing the subject in all its bearings , it is the ouimoalt j the Lord Chancellor that suchmeetings are not in tha j spirit of the constitution , and may become dan ^ eron * I to the safety of the state . It is necessary , therefore that the Government should be able to place a firm re liance on the watchfulness and determination ofthn magistracy to preserve the public peace . A maas j trate who presides over , or forms a part of such a ; meeting , caa neither be prepared to repress violence ' nor could he be expected to act against a body ftS whose offences he would himself be responsible ¦ To such persons the preservation of the publ c pea ( » ! during the present agitation cannot be safely in j trusted . Your Lordship ' b determination t& . presid « , over such a meeting , immediately after the deekra I tions in Parliament , proves to the Lord Chancellor that the timo has arrived for eviucins the det-rmi j nation of this Government to delegate no po \ ver to those who s ^ ek by such measures a 3 are now par . i sued to dissolve the Legislative Union . To alW j such persons uny longei to re ci a in in tho coaimis sion of the peace would be to afford the power of the Crown to the carrying of a measure " winch W Majesty has , like her predecessor , expressed her \ determination to prevent . This view of the ca * e wh » ch the step taken by your Lordship has forced | upon the attention of the Lord Chancellor , will com-; pel him at oace to supersede any other magistrates who , since the declarations in Parliament , have attended like Repeal meetings . He thinks that such a i measure is not at variance with the resolution of the ; Government , whilst they watch over public tranquillity , and oppose the Repeal movement , still to act with forbearance and conciliation , and to devote their best energies to improve the institutions and promote the prosperity of Ireland . ' " I have the honour to be , my Lord , , " Your Lordship ' s most obedient servant " Henry Sugden , Secretary . " The Evening Post , in commenting upoathts leitw describes it as calculated only to irritate the Rel pealers , and operate as a fresh stimulant to the movement . In reference to the Dassage itl the Chancellor ' s letter regardiu ^ the Qieen , that journal coutains the following : — " Sir Robert Peel was , guilty of a high crim ? and misdemeanour in his introduction of the name of the Sovereign , as will be seen by the following resolution , copied from the journals of the Hereof Commons : — "' Resolved , That it is now necessary to declare that , to repeat any opinion or pretended opinion of his Majesty , upon any biLl or other proceeding depending in either House of Parliament , with a view to influence the votes of the members , is a high crime and misdemeanour , derogatory to the honour of the Crown , a breach of the fundamental privileges of Parliament , and « subversion of the Constitution of the Country . —House of Commons , December , 17 th , 1783 ( Parliamentary History , vol . " 24 , p . 197 ) . ' '• It was in violation of this solemn resolution , that Sir Robert Peel introduced the naias of tbe Queea in the House of Commons . But Sir Edward Sugden , still more reckless , directs his secretary to thrust her Majesty ' s name , and a declaration pretended to be that of her Majesty ' s , . into a letter to a magistrate ! Sir Edward Sugden , . we may venture to anticipate , will hear of this in Parliament . " DISMISSAL OF O'CONNELL . The writ of super ^ edeas has been received by llr O'Connell : he is no longer a magistrate of his native county . The enemies of Ireland and tho Irish people have dismissed him from the magistracy , deeming him unfit to administer justice in the most petty court , because he loves—he dares to love—his fatherland , and to battle constitutionally for h '; r liberties . —Freeman . Further Dismissal of Magistrates . —It is stated that ten . magistrates have besa already superseded j including Mr . Joseph Myles M'Donnoll , of Doo Castlo ; and Mr . Phillips , of Mayo ; Mr . Pierse Somerset Butler , of the county of Kilkenny ; and Mr . Fitzgerald , of Muckridge , county of Cork . Tao Eyenina Post mentions a rumour that eighteen magistrates have been dismissed .
