      T 71 DWARD PRICE and Co . beg respectfully to JLi request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPOSITE CANDLES , will ask in the ehop 3 simply for "PiiiC&'S PATENT CANDLES . " Siuce these have attracted public attention , va&vj Imitators have made candles , and called them by the name "Composite . " used by Edward Price and Co . ; buc the process by which the real Composite Candles are made , being a patent one , and E . P . and Co . granting no licenses , none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones . The chief properties of these latter are their burning , without snuffing , more brilliantly tban the best wax , and their affording so large an amount of light , that they are ebeaper , taking this into account , than the commonest tallow cand . ' e ? , one of them giving the light of two ordinary moulds . They may be had of most of the respectable dealers throughout the kingdom , ftnd are supplied to the trade wholesale by EdwaBd Pbice and Co . Belmont , Vaiixhall ; and by Palmer and Co ., Sutton-street , Clerkeuwell .

      htsd to foot . The majority of these gentJrmen were in their own carriages , into each of which were packed as many of the owners' friends as could find sanding room , several private vehicles being mixed up through the order of their procession , amontf which were those of Sir V . Blake , Bart ., containing that iientlemeD , Mr . Dillon Browne , M . P ., Mr . M . Blake , M . P ., fcc . Dr . O'Keilly , Mr . Kelly * Mr . Pitzsimon , &o . Then came the private carriages of of the ; Lord Mayor , who was in fall dress ; and then , preceded by a coufuBed mass of wandbearers , the triumphal chariot itself , Burrounded by a mob so dense-that it was with great difficulty that the six splendid dappled greys could force the cumbrous vehicle alonjj , which every instant

      seemed about to become a second car of Juggernaut , and crash some of its adorers . It would be hard to attempt a description of this btrange machine , ( which orjgii . aily figured bo far back as 1832 , at the chairing of Mr . O'Connell in that year . It is apparently cotstituted of a large platform , bearing three stories , arranged like steps of stairs , and profusely decorated with purple velvet , gold fringes , giltheaded nails , bosses , and paintings . On the top stair were two large arm-cbairs . oowred with purple VL'lyet and gilding , in ( or rather standing ; before ) . Which Were placed Mr . O'Connell and bis son John . The hon . gentleman etood up to his full height , with his head slightly thrown back , and waved his velvet cap and bowed incessantly , whilst at interval ** his

      lips were seen to move , but it is needless to say that whatever ho said was utterly inaudible through the storm of cheers and yells which raged around him . On the second stair was seated thr Rev . Dr . Miley , ana on the lowest range sat Mr . D . O'Gonuell , jun ., an Iri .-h harper in the full dress of the days " when Mala-chi wore the cellar of gold" uselessly playing on a genuine Irish harp , aud two young gentlemen ( who wo under .-tood were Mr . ( J Connell ' s grandsons ) diossed in tunics of grt * n vtlvot with caps of th ^ same material and whito feathers . Thus accompanied , Mr . OT-onuell moved <> n through all the principal strDOis of Dublin , which were thronged to fuffjcation . Every dead wall or available lamp-post was coyeied . by ptople who shouted and cheered as

      thty would most probably have shouted andcheerod hkd they been witnessing Mr . 0 'Council's procession to a more ominoun spot than Merrion- ^ uaro ; and it was observable that the most energetic por ^ uons of his appluuticrs were women and boys ( who composed a larg portion of the multitude ) , and who were least competent to form an opinion as to the rea .-ojis for ihcir approbation . After the car , came a more hnmbJe vehicle , containing Messrs . Barrett , Grav , Duffy , and Ray ( Mr . Stcele being engaged in ktupuig the police iu advance of the carriage ) . These gentieui-n did not seem to attract much nouce . The Tri ' . on had all the shouts to himself , and monopo ' . Z ' .-d ( he vocal exertions of all about him to completely , that thero was soarce a chhcr lsft for the " other imprisoned pa-riots . " D . ipire their " nods , aud becks , and wreathed smiles , " hands to ht-aris , and hats in hand they passed ou almost unnoticed . Then camo more

      vehicles , a few hoTsemen , multitudes of hack cars and pedestrians , a tail of old women and little boya ; and so tho monster procession , afier winding its slow length along ihr ^ u ^ h the greater pan of Dubliu , aud causiug a ( uial cessation of business iu the line of its progress , terminated . As it passed along the quays , the joy beH 3 ot Arran-quay Chapel rang out cheerfully in the assertion of their claim to be hoard as well as ihob . j of us Protestant noighboura , whil .-: i a green S ^ g waved from the turret abovo ; and a little further on her M ;> j « . frty ' s police van , containing a number of malefactors , crossed the line of ihe procession . There was something genial in tho enthusiasm with which those p . ior wretches , too w ; ak and feebk to break through the meshes of the law , hailed tho triumph of their quondam brother prisoners , and exhibited their delight by thrusting ibeir arms through tho ventilating opening * , and waving them as much as tho nature of the apertures would perniit . j

If I ever entertained any hope—and really I did not—it bad been long since banished away ; and when the account came to me of the decision in oar favour , though the Btternies rushed into my presence , and one of them did me the honour of embracing me , etiH , notwithstanding tbatj kiss and the wotds that accompanied it , and with the full knowledge that it was so or the attorniea would not be there , yet for a fall

      halfhour afterwards I did not believe it—( hear , hear , and cheers ; , j Yes , I repeat it is not the work of mnn . It is a blessing bestowed by Providenca on tbe faithful people of Ireland—( hear , and cheers ) . There is no superstition in representing It as tbe gift of Providenee ; no submission in bowing before the throne of God and accepting it as bis act . Let us recollect that riiillions of tbe faithful people of Ireland bad lifted up their hands to God—that the priests of God offered up the holy sacrifice of the mass—that the holy secluded Sisters of Charity united their prayers with those of the priests at the altars . The Catboiics of England joined with us on the occasion . The entire Catholic population of Belgium offered up similar prayers , and along the shoreeof the Rhine , tbe same voice of supplication has been

      heard . 0 yes , it has been heard , and we stand free before you , thankful to God , aud blessing all good Bien —( loud cheers ) . It is a glorious triumph , and it is fitting that such a cause sbouid have hsd such a triumph . For what was : our cause ? There waa nothing selfish or individual iu jit . There was nothing in it that involved the furtuues of particular persons ; but it was a cause involving the jgreat principles of tho British constitution and the interests of liberty . By that prosecution the Government attempted to prevent peaceabk meetings of peaceable persons to petition for the redress of grievances , or , if jit did not profess to take away that right altogether , it would , if tbe attempt had proved suceessfnl , have leftiscavcely the shadow o ! a right remaining . Fer what waa ; the case made out by tbe indictment ?

      It was that ' great multitudes of persons assembled together ewn ' fur a legal and proper purpose , necessarily produced intimidation , and that we , having so many people together at tbe meetings which we attended , were guilty of . a conspiracy , because those large assemblages must necessarily have intimidated thob < 5 who Were opposed - { to us . If that attempt of th ' e Minister had not failed ) the consequence would be , that tbe more people you bad concurring with you in the progress of public opinion—and you would not ba entitled ~ to alter the law without h iving a considerable portion of the community with you , for ; he m « re you hart with you the more would it [ appear were the public convinced of the necessity of this alteration which you advocated , the more criminal would it be for you to look for tbe alteration or

      improvement ] you required —( hear ) . The only chacee which exists lot procuring any redress of oppressive grievances arises from the weight of public opinion that is brought to bear upon it ; and that chance was to be thus tafeen awjay for ever ; for when the popular VOICO was poor and piuful > t was ociy sneered and laughed at , and when it was swelled to be the voice of the peojJia generally—which in oar case was the voice of ( jod every foul means was to be tak ^ n to violate the jro $ j ! ar right to petition , by rendering it criinicai for that ' popular voice to make itaelf be heard—( bvsr , hear )/ J say , therefore , that ours is a triumph of t ^ e holiest and best of causes . It ia a triumph withou' . which the throne of the monarch would be instcure . It is to puolic opinion that Qaoen Victoria owes her tbroue . But for it , the

      family of Sivoy , or of tb . 6 Stuirts , would still be upon the throne of these realms ; and their fate ehoT » s , that even the mouarcb himself is not safe from tbe influence of tbe popular voice . As the gigantic accession of man to man could not bo prevented without the misconduct of the governing power , it becomes treason against the safety of the Queeu or her throne for any Government to attempt preventing tbe popular mind from being heard . There ! ia also acother branch of our triumph that cannot be doubted—it is the vindication of tbe principle of trial by jury—( cheers ) . There is now no fear that you will have another selected jury ; or , at all events , there will be no precedent for it in oar case . Here we bad the panel fraudulently constructed—I will not say by whom—ibaar , hear ) . We bad the jury list

      fraudulently diminished—I will not say by Whom ; but this I Bay—If I get tbe voice of public opinion to support me , 1 Will be able to ascertain by whom that fraud had been perpetrated —( hear , and cheers ) . Xbe trial by jury Was in its purity pat an end to , and a packed : jury substituted—but we stand here triumphant over those who would substitute a bad principle for a fair tribunal to adjudicate on the lives and tbe liberties of the Queen's subjects—( cheers ) . Trial by jury j and tbe right to petition have , then , been triumphant , and we stand here to-day , rejoicing in the vindication of both —( cheora ) . I rejoice in being one of those to announce to the public and to the world our joy on this great triumph achieved in our persons . But it is not for these alone that we should

      express our gratulations . Another great cause n » a also obtained a triumph . What chance . I ask , wonld the Repeal cause have if these proceedings had been affirmed ?—( cheers ) . It woald , to be sure , have some chance from the progress of public opinion ; but now , iu our peaceful majesty and tranquil might , united , but determined to violute no law , we remain , without a particle of iutnuMaUon , as in our monster meetings , but with a contiuued and thorough conviction that Repeal is absolutely necessary for Ireland —( " hurrah , " and loud cheers , which continued for several minutes ) . There is no impediment now in the way o ' f the peaceable ami j triumphant termination of the Repeal movement There is nothing to prevent us , by keepins ourselves within the law , from meeting , and

      resolving , and organizing , and fortifying ourselves by the increase of our strength at the registry , and by every other legal means , to bring petitions before the Legislature until we make the table of the House of Commons rock beneath the load of the collected complaints of the ; people of Ireland —( cheers ) . The constitutional right is free—the guarantee of trial by jury is secured , and will protect us ; and , standing on one and on the other , I here announce that the universal feeling of the Irish people , from the Giant ' s Cuusuway to Cape Clear , and from Conne ' mara to tbe Hill of Howth , is in favour of the great national cause or Repeal , and must to any man of common sense and common honesty appear ton strong to render any amount of resistance to it permanently

      successful—( cheers ) . And now I am going to make an atonement to a class of public men whom I have often assailed ; aud who , certainly , in some things deserved to be assailed—namely , the Whigs . But , after all , how infinitely superipij are they to tbe Tory party 1 The principle of Toryism is double . It takes away as much of public right from each individual as it can , and it amalgamates all together for the benefit of the aristocracy ; but where- Toryism is most terrific , is in its anxiety to do the great injustice of putting partisans upon the bench of justice . Tbe opinion forced upon us from history is , that in S $ cases out of 100 , the most prejudiced men have bean mad « judges by the Tory party , and though in England , during tbe last thirty or forty years , we hava ; seen but little of party spirit

      approaching the bench , ; we all know that in this country the spirit of Toryism remained in full life —( hear , hear , hear ) . I ask i you , if tbe support that I gave tbe Whigs could have been effective for one year more , whether a very different state of things would not now be observable on the beach in t ^ is country ? Sould we not have Chief Baron Biady at- this moment the Chief Justice of tbe Queen ' s Bench , with Mr . Pigot the jChief Baron , and Mr . Moore and Mr . Moua ^ han in tho room of Jackson and Lsfroy—( hear )? Now , I ask any man who might be inclined to blame me for having supported tbe Whigs , whether be thinks if Chief Baron Brady had been the Chief Justice of the Queen ' s Bench ] would we have ever heard of this prosecution—cries ! of " hear , hear'i ? I am satisfied that

      we never should have heard of this prosecution if we ha 4 had Mr . Monagban , Mr . Moore , aud Mr . Hatchet sitting on the bench , instead of tbe LitUms , the Lefroys , and the Jackaons , with the prtsent Chief Baron of the Exchequer occupy ing the station sow filled by Chief Justice Ponnefather—( bear , hear ) You have this dis-UiiC ion , that the Whigs gave good judges ; whereas the Tories were anxious to give partisan judges in former tiruea . ( Hear , hear . ) I was for this reason anxious to support tbe Whigs , but I never gave them a vote inconsistent with my public principle . 1 defy the Tory press of England to point out one single instance in which I gave ajvote inconsistent with public principle . All I did waa to atteud at my place in the house to assist in creating A majority by ay vote in cases not

      inconsistent with public principle ; and I now tender tny gratitude to them for tbe judges that have been appointed by them . They made Lord Cottenham Lord Caancellor— ( loud cheers ; . I was going to say that there never was so good a judge , but I never can forget , iu his cold grave , my lamented fritnd , tbe incomparable Sir Michael O'Loghlen But a better judge than Lord CoUenbam never existed . He was like Brady in this , that he possessed the same fulness of judicial quality , though ; be might not have had the power of Plunkett as an advocate . But , O , how superior has ona or other of them been to him as judges '—( hear . ) Next to him I placo the Lord Chief Justice of the Qieen ' s Bunch in England—Lord Dtmman . ( Great cheering for some minuteo . ) | There have been man ; grsat men from time to time on the Eagliah bench , but who among them has shown himself what Donuian has ? He talked of this trial by'Jury , and said if a similar course were

      continued , that trial by Jury in Ireland would beeome a mockery , a delusion , and a snare— ( bear , bear , and cheers ) . Take that , Mr . Attorney . General Smith . Read that , Mr .

The Chief Justice of the Queen ' s Bench in England pronounced a repetition of tbe conrse sanctioned by you to be a delusion , a mockery , and a snare—( hear ) . We are come to great times—we are come to times when , if a similar course to that taken to ensure a verdict against ua be again acted upon , it must be regarded as " a mockery , a delusion , and a snare "—( hear , hear ) .

      The ' Descriptive Account" by tho Times ' s " 0 W 5 ' man differs most wonderfully from the foregoing glowing narrative . The reason we have before

      indicated . The one prepared was for the Chronicle : the oilier for the Timts . The former " patronises " O'Connell , in the hopo that out of h ? s sucees-ses against tbe Tories in power tbe Whigs may derive some advantage : the latter is well known as a bitter and formidable opponent to O'Connell ; and it therefore omits no opportunity of doing him damage . Twisting fact 3 and torturing truth is a common game with mere newspaper-makers or faction ' s supporters . We give some extracts from the Times '*; account , that the reader may learn something of the bast-ness and ^ ervilit , y of som e of " the race that wrirs . "

      THE GREAT DEMONSTRATION . Notwidjat&ndin ... the unpropitious srate of ihe weather , ic having mined almost incess 3 n'ly since tea o ' clock last ni fe ht , at a very early hour iha whole civy was in commotion , and , long before the time appointed for the starting of the procession , the horrible din of tbe almost , numberless Temp- , rancs bands was heard resounding in the streeis on their route to the appointed place of muster . Most of these torturers of harmony preceded the various trades , each of which spori ^ d the old and wellknown banner that has so frequently unfurled iis folds on occasions not altogether dissimilar from the present . From dawn of day unusual signs of bustle and animation were observable at the Concilaiion

      Hall—dfputations arriving—couriers departing w . th hot speed on their missions—the various movements denoting the appearance of an all-pervading excitement . Nor were other causes wanting to increase the intensity of the excitement . Great dissatisfaction , amounting to an expression of disgust , was m&iiifrsted by the Council of M The Trades ' Politi'al Union , " who had previously intimated to Mr . O'Connell that it was the wish of that august body that ihe demonstration sbouid be postponed nntil Monday , when a fuller attendance of tradt-smen oouid be ieckon&d on , withont any pecuniary loss beiDij iiiflictrd thereby : inasmuch as it is the

      amiable and nearly invariable custom of the Dublin operatives to spend the first and sometime . - ; the second day of ihe week in the most luxurious and gentlemanly &tate of idleness . Mr . O'Connell , however , refused to entertain the proposition , and gave it as his ultimatum that his triumphal exit from Bridewell could not be deferred for a single day bejond the one appointed , on the trifling pretext of the tradesmen losing a daj ' s wages . This dfcieion , as before observed , added to the gloomy aspect of the day , was productive of no little discord , which first showed itself in unavailing grumblings , and finally settled down in to a subdued sulk .

      By twelve o ' clock matters began to mend ; the rain cea ed , and the sun shone out brightly . The deputation from the various committees , which had been s ; at ; oBed at Richmond in order to learn whether the great day was to be or not to be , cheered up ( along with the weather ); and , after much deliberation , argument , and anx ous looks towards the zenith , the word was passed to the association that the procession might , form , and march en route for the Penitentiary . Shortly after twelve o ' clock , accordingly , the monster procession was fairly in motion , taking Mr . O'Connell ' s house , in Mtrrion-square , as its starting place , and began to trndge through the mud , which was tolerably abundant , along the

      Circularroad to the Richmond Bridewell , where Mr . O'Connell waa in waiting for them , having left bis house for that purpose at half-past seven o ' clor . k this morning . Processions of public bodies , Odd Fellows , Trades ' Unions , or Repealers are generally much alike , especially in Ireland;—noisy bands , clean men in carriage ; 1 , dirty men on foot , flags , peeled switches , banner * , inscriptions , more dirty men , and a great many little boya and "women screeching , and shouting , and struggling for approximate places to the melody of the band with all their vigour—then & second edition of thiB scene with the next corporate body , in greater or less perfection , and so on ad injlnilvm . This description is certainly true of the

      present procession , which was like hundreds of others , displaying the same banners , battering away at tho same brass drums , and blowing the fame airs on tbe identical terrible trumpets wbioh figured at Donnybrook or Tara last year , and in every way reviving the glories of its predecessors , save that it enlarged upon them in the greatness of its numbers and the identity of its enthusiasm . It truly was a monster procession , extending , perbsp ? , some five or six miles in length—it was alsocer ; ain ) y very dirty as far as the majority of its members were concerned , probably from the state of the roads soiling their habiliments , and the lateness of tbe day of the week forbidding clean linen .

      About twelve o'clock the head of the pr » eession arrived at Richmond , around which a vast number of horsemen , pedestrians , and some Jew private and mere job carriages had been assembled from an early hour . Mr . Steele , -with a green branch in his hand , was bnsy in executing the restored functions of his office of Head Pacificator , whilst among a crowd of other vehicles were two drawn close to the prison doors , containing Mr . and Mrs . Ray , Mr . Barrett , Mr . Daffy , and Mr . Gray . A delay now took place owing to the non arrival of the triumphal car destined for the reception of Mr . O'Connell , which

      was employed by that gentleman in receiving tbe homage and oongratnlations of numerous individuals in tbe passage leading to his quondam lodgings in the prison . Mr . O'Connell was attended by the R « v . Dr . Miles , and his sons , Messrs John O'Connell and Daniel O'Connell . jun . He looked exvremely well , thongh his face bore rather an anxious expression on the present <> ec » s ; oii , and his person has b&coiDB rather more corpulent . Indeed , it may ba remarked , par parenthese , that all the travcrseru seemed to have profited very considerably by their incaceratioB , both in good looks and apparent good health .

      As the time wore on , however , the Hon . and Learned Gentleman became raiher impatient , and made frequent inquiries as to the « ause of the delay . He put on his gold-embroidered green velvet cap , and continued in some little dudgeon to await the arrival of his carriage till near two o ' clock . The ovation commenced at the above hour . First , came the trades of Dublin , each preceded by the banner of ita body , and a band playing sacred music as only Temperance bands ean play , and generally with much discrimination selecting rather difficult pieces for their performance , and eschewing all national airs . Snch blowing throngh twisted brass ( for they are all brass bands ) and whacking of drums was never heard in thiB world before—( two

      or three ot the less aspiring musical fraternities did not , however , do bo very badiy ) . The banners were usnally displayed from coaches , intended to hold four , but contriving to allow from sixteen to eighteen to fit into , and hang-on by them . Thna they came on : —bricklayers ( with & painting of the bank of Ireland , and the superscription of ' * Onr old House at Home" ); platers , woollen operatives ( in a small open car ) ; nailors ( with a picture of Brian Boroihme nailing ? the Banea &t Clontarf ); coachmakers , tailors ( with a very gorgeous equipage , six horses , postilions , and outriders , ) ; tinplate-workers , displaying , as . their sign , a man with a tin helmet on

      his htad , and a dish cover or the same metal on hia arm , otherwise unassumingly attired in a bine coat and white trowsers ; and other bodies of tradesmen , too numerous to mention , with their appropriate emblems and banners . Next came a great number of repeal wardens , bearing wands , and occupying respectable-looking coaches and carriages . After them drove the committee of the trades' political union ; the members of it attired in green sashes andecarfe , and bearing wanda with green flagB in their hands . Next in order were the various members of the corporation , aldermen , town-councillora , and officers , dressed in tfaeir robes of office and cooked bats , glittering vmh chains and faired from

      THE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES . ( From the Reporter of the Chronicle . J Dublin , Sunday , Sept . 8 . Tim day there was the cdebration in the Catholio metropolitan church ot' high mass , and a Te Deum , ic thaDk ^ giviDg lor the liberation fro m prison of Mr . O'Co&nel ) , and those who have been associated with him in punibhmeut . The metropolitan church , as the prinoipal Catholic building , in this city U called , is a noble temple of the Doric order of architecture , and is sufficiently spacious to accommodate several thousand persons .

      The front poitico . which is very lofty , is raised on an elevated iiighi of steps , and is formed of six massive columns . There are smaller porticos on each of the sides ; a beautilul dome rises in the centre ; and the whole edifice is composed of hewn slone . But if the style ot the exterior be classic and severe , that of the interior is still more so , being altogether in the fashion of a Grecian temple . It is divided into three parallel navea by lines of magnificent columns ; the ceiling is lefty and semi-circular ; and on the outbide is a representation of the Ascension , in bas rulief .

      Tbe hi « h altar and tabernacle are of while marble , sculpiured in an exquisite style of art . Tho altar rises at a distance from the east , end of the church , in tho sty ) e of ihe continental cathedrals ; the space railed in around it id btyled the sanctuary ; and on the left-hand bide ef this space wan raised a lofty throne , with a crimson canopy , for the archbishop ; whilst on the opposite side , near the foot of the pulpit , were placed chairs of state for O'Connell and his Catholic fellow prisoners . Several seats in the immediate vicinny of Mr . O'Connell ' s chair wore occupied by the members of his family , whilst all the Catholic families of distinction now in Dublin and its neighbourhood were present .

      At the time that the religious ceremonies of tho day commenced , the scene that presented itself was of a very peculiar description . On the left of the altar sat on his episcopal throne , with his rich mitre , gorgeous robes , and bearing in his hand his burnished pastoral staff , the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin—a venerable , dignified man—the very personification of a high priest of an ancient faith ; below him were his attendant priests , and then there stood before the altar the officiating priest , the Rev . Dr . Laphen , whilst on a liue , two or three steps below him , was the deacon , and two or three s' - _ ps lower down again the sub-deacon , and ranged beneath tbe lowest steps , and fronting the altar , wero boya in rich scarlot robes , bearing

      tapers , the censer , and the other appurtenances suittable to the ceremonies of the day . On the right was Mr . O'Connell , his eon , and Mr . Ray , and the other traversers on a raised platform ; and then there were all parts of the church , the organ loft , the recesses even beneath the roof , crowded to the uttermost , whilst the incense ascended , and rich stiaics Of sweet music wtre chaunted forth , amid the pealing of the organ , over which a very clever musician , Mr . Corri , presided . Such a eoeno was calculated to inspire a ttranger with feelings ot devotion . What must have been its effect , coupkd with the occasion in which it originated , upon the minds of tho Roman Catholics , every one of whom by his prayera was a participator in the devotions of the day * . __ . ' .

      The sermon delivered was by the Rev . Dr . Miley , one of the most distinguished preachers of this city . In the course of his address , which was a Very powerful one , he referred to that day as being a great festival in the Caiholic church , that of " the Nativity of tho Blessed Virgiu ; " and he observed that coincident with its cok-bration this remarkable incident had occurred with Mr . O'Connell , and tho » u members of his family , as well as of the other prisoners who were in communion with the Catholic church , viz ., that when all hope from human aid had appeared to be vain—when all succour from man might well be despaired of—it had been suggested to them , by a pious Catholic clergyman , to pray to Heaven , through the intercession ot the biased

      Tirgin ., for that ju .-tics which it , seemed that man was determined to deny to them . The devotion Ot the Kovena in houour of the . Nativiiy was begun , and the last day upon wtiioh it terminated was completed , when Mr . O'Connell and the others were free , but not until then . It was to pay the last prayers of thanksgiving—the last prayers appointed by the church—that Mr . O'Conndl had returned to the prison , to pass from thence to the car of triumph . The reverend preacher said he did not call this a miracle ; but it wa ?> an incident no far beyond human calculation , that one of the solicitors engaged in the cause had said to him , that though he had heard the judgment reversed , had seen men congratulate themselves on the event , aud was himself the bearer of the official document , still he could not believe it to be true . The reverend

      preacher alto remarked , thai the idea of having those peculiar prayers , for the intercession of the Virgin , was suggested to the mind of the priest who conducted the devotion by observing that Mr . O'Connell had , in his speech at Tara , noticed that the day was commemorative of "the assumption ; " that he begged for the prayers of the Virgin to protect the cause in which be was engaged , ic being one whioh had for its object an improvement in the condition of the helpless- poor , and that used as its only means those that were free from- crime of every desoripfcion , whilst it inculcated respect for the law and loyalty to the Sovereign . Tbe reverend preacher then adverted to other events that were notorious in history , to show , as he said , the coinoidtnee between prayers to the blessed Virgin *> nd the fulfilment oi them , contrary to all human probability .

      Those portions of the sermon referring to Mr . O'Connell and the state of Ireland produced a great sensation in the church . The religious ceremonies of the day were not terminated until two o'clock . At that time Mr . O'Connell left the church , and was accompanied by hundreds on his way home , all testifying by their cheers the delight they felt in seeing him once more restored to liberty . In several other Catholic churches prayera of thanksgiving were also offered for the release of the state prisoners . In Mr . O'Connell ' a paiisa chapel , in Westland Bow , a solemn Te Deum was ohanted by the clergyman of the shurob , " in thanksgiving to

      MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION . ( Abridged from the Times . J Dublin , Sept . 9 . The Conciliation Hall this morning presented , within and without * such an appearance as it never yet exhibited since the day upon which it was first opened , immediately after the suppression of the Clontarf meeting last year . Between eight and nine o ' olock , large crowds of persons , of whom the great majority wore decently-dressed women , assembled around the ' -doors , which after a while were thrown open to the accumulating masses , and instantly that portion of the galleries set apart for the humbler members of the Association , as well as the body of the Hall , waa thronged by the densest

      assemblage watch we ever witnessed wiibin any building . Tho attendance of ladies was not loss numerous , and the great pressure which their ardour urged thorn to inflict upon eaoh other caused some distressing scenes around the doors . Tho whole of tho large circular gallery presented nothing to the view but a straggling array of caps , bonnots , ribands , and feathers , whilst a pin could not have been let fall to the ground in any part of the hail , so great was the crowd of the associates . The number of persons of both sex » a seeking admi .-sion ( in effecting which they somotitnea did not seem to overlook the utility of physical forco ) ineroftged as the day advanced to Buch a degree , that the whole of the quay , for a

      considerable distance , at both sides of the building , waa completely blocked up , tbe doora having been closed against all applicants so early as eleven o ' olock , and placards to that effect placed against them . The uufortuimte gentlemen of the press were obliged to fight their way up to the barriers , and then submit to be torn through , or carried over tho heada of the multitude into the' hall , some two hours before the time fixed for the meeting . There was much aisBatistaction evinced that tho Conciliation Hall was not twice as big , and great grumbling waa heard from indignant gentlemen and ladies who had brought money from the country , or who shouted deci * ations through the keyholes to that effect , to soften the rigid janitors , who heard all cjuoh statements unmovedly .

      About one o'clock the smaller leaders of the assooiadoo began to arrive , and to force their way up to the plaliorm . Then came the dii majores . First Mr . Steele made his appearance , and was greeted with ail kinds of applaudaiory noise ? . Then Mr . Barrett , of the Filot , made his bow amid a similar demonstration . Dr . Gray ' s advent was acknowledged in the same way , and at length , preceded by Moanrs . Butler , M . P ., Grattan , M . P ., and accompanied by Mr , J , O ' Connell , M . P ., the Hon . Member for Cork advanced to the front of the platform , and took up his usual place , amid such a display of feeling , and with such a rapturous welcome , as may rarely be seen again . One storm of cheers , blessings , yelling , and cries in Irish rose around from every part of the hall , and was echoed by the crowd outside . All the women in the gallery waved thoir white handkerohiefs ( which they seemed to be specially provided with ) , bonnets , and shawls , with

      astonishing vigour and perseverance ; whilst the men were equally energotic with their hats , hands , and feet . For nearly ten minutes cheering and applause , which was not surpassed in intensity either at Tara or Mullaghma 8 t , continued to peal through the hall . Mr . O'Connell acknowledged by repeatedly bowing around him , kissing his hand to the ladies in the gallery , and placing the crown of his hat on his heart . As he was thus engaged , Mr . Smith O'Brien rushed to the front of the platform , causing if possible au ihcreago in tho clamour , and seizing Mr . O'Conneirs hand , shook it vigorously for some moments . Mr . O'Connell than caught Mr . S . O'Brien ' s hand , and placed it on hia heart , whereat tho very building trembled and quaked beneath the redoubled cheerzng and stamping . At last Mr . O'Connell seemed to get tired , lie opened his lips again and again to speak , but hia words were inaudible , until a number 0 uplifted hands and voices from the platform stilled the storm .

      Mr . 0 Connell was at length heard to say that he claimed it as a privilege to be allowed to move that the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor of Dublin do take the chair . The Lord Mator ( who was loudly cheeered in doing ao ) assnred the meeting that it was the proudest hour Of bis life to be called on to preside over them upon the present iiuportaut and auspicious occasion , and that the distinction was one which be never expected to have arrived at . He congratulated them and the country on the restoration to liberty of the man to

      whom they were all indebted , and to whom he ( the Lord Mayor ) felt eapeeiallr indebted for tho high position he held as first magistrate of the city , and for the high honour he that day enjoyed of presiding over snch a meeting . On one result springing from tbe State piotee ' ution he could not avoid congratulating the people of Ireland , for he had no doubt that by that prosecution the Bystem of packing juries in Ireland had got its doath-Mow—( cheera ; . Within the memory of m&n there never had been such a triumph over faction and injustice—( cheers ) .

      Mr . T . M . Ray having then presented himself amidst renewed cheering , proceeded to adriresB the meeting , holding in his hand the miDUte-book of the Association . He assured them it was with the most thrilling delight that he resumed the honourable office of Secretary for Ireland —( cheers ) . They had had a glorious triumph of justice over iniquity—a miraculous triumph- He had heard that amiable gentleman , the Attorney General , ridicule the Liberator ' s boast of being able to drive a coach and six through any Act of Parliament that itn psded hia progress . The Liberator had at all events proved himself equal to the Attorney-General ; for he had driven the triumphant car . of Repeal through the legal meshes which that functionary bad flung around hi in—( cheers ) . He bad told the people of Ireland that he would not lead them astray , that he would kefip them free from the meshea of the law , and he had kept his word ; for he had come out of prison with bis fame aa a lawyer unsullied . Mr . Kay having read the minutes of the last day ' s proceedings .

      Mr . O'CONNELL moved the admission as a member of the Association of Mr Somerset Butler , M . P . for Kilkenny , whose family , ho observed , waa illustrious for its antiquity , ita valour , and its love of old Ireland , having bled for her in the field and upon the scaffold . His Hon . Friend was just as ready to live for her— -aye , and to die for her too—( loud cheers ) . Mr . S . O'Brien said , he had to propose the admission of a member of the Protestant aristocracy of this country , and he did so with not the less pleasure because many of his connexions were strong Con-SMfValWes . The name be had to introduce was tbe Hon . George Hely Hutchinson , brother of L ^ trd Donouiihiiiore—( prolonged cheering ) . He felt it right to say that there bad been no conversion in Mr . Hut-Chioson ' s case , for that gentleman bad always been'an enemy to tbe union . Mr . O'Co . vnell , having seconded the motion , it was agreed to .

      Mr . H . Grattan congratulated tbe meeting on the accession of such men co that Association , and moved the ad in i shi on of Captain Mockler , of tbe county of Mea ^ h , an Orangeman ; who had been induced by the recent persecution , for Buch tbe state triah bad been , to eomo ' forward and join the ranks of the Ki-pealers—( loud cheera ) . Mr . O Connell also seconded this motion , which was agreed to . Mr . S . Butler , M . P ., Mr . Helt Hutchinson , and Captain MoCKLEK uevera . ly returned thanks .

      Mr . O'Coxnell havini } risen to band in some money , pTiicebiind to say—As I am upoa my lfgs , 1 believe I may as wall proceed at once to address you—( loud Caeera , which continued for some minutes ) . It would ibe utterly impossible for me to find language adequate to describe the ienaations of delight with which I once Again address this assembly—( renewed cheers ) . I had imagined thn 1 ; my voice was tobava betn suspended at least until tne month of May next , but the " merry month ot iMay" has come upon ua eight months too soon , and we can now rt joice as merry as May birds—( cheers and laughter ) .
