IRELAND.

After two days' discussion, the National Association, on the motion of Mr. O'Connell, agreed to the following resolutions on the Poor-law question, instead of those brought forward by Mr. O'Malley.

" 1. That the present administration deserves the gratitude and enjoys the confi- dence or the Irish People ; and that such Administration. being pledged to bring for ward a measure of Pour lows in Ireland in the now aop:oaeping session, we deem it the duly of all the Popular Reproseutativossltlaas country to give the most efficient sup. port in their power to such G,vccontent measure, to any extent which shall not M. voice a violation of principle. " 2. The present wetter and ensuing spring afford a melancholy prospect of the effects of fitmine and disco:e hi many pads 01 Ireland. arising from the inclemency of the season, and time failure if the poor inots's crop ; and we therefor., requite the Ile- presentatives of the Irish People to press upon the Govern:mit the absolute necess:ty of obtaining. before it be too late, a grant from Parliament of it large sum Who. applied iu aid of local subscriptions fur the immediate relief of the poor in particular localities.

"3. That the first and most sacred ditty of the Irish Menders is to add the present Ministry in mitigating. nod finally removing. the political caoses which have created poverty nod misery amongst the great mass of the population of the finest and most fertile laud ou the face of the globe."

A vote of thanks to Sir William Mulesworth for his subscription, and in gratitude for his services in the cause of Ireland, was carried, on the motion of Mr. O'Connell ; who highly eulogized the character and general conduct of Sir William, though he could not concur in his op- position to Ministers. Mr. O'Connell inveighed in strong language against the behaviour of Sir Colman Rashleigh and the Cornwall Whigs towards Sir William 3folesworth such men, be said, were the real promoters of disunion in the Reform party. Mr. O'Connell spoke with strong disapprobation of the conduct of Mr. Sharman Cranford, and said he would make a present of his vote to the Tories. Mr. O'Connell also took the opportunity of paying back some abuse which the Marquis of Abercorn had poured upon him at the Tyrone Orange dinner.

" Really it was insupportable to have such a crawling creature attack him gra- tuitously,in the manner he had,—a person whom nut n lady in England, if he 'vas a poor man, would permit to cling behind her equipage. There was nut a con- demned regiment in Europe which would, if he was obliged to ix:dist, take hint as a common soldier ; nor were he to allow his beard to grow, would hi be received into any set of pioneers in the world. But how did this nob!, Mar- quis derive his own property ? Why, from Lord Claude Hamilton, who, at the time of the Reformation, was Abbot of Paisley, and, contary to his estb, bad made a surrender of the lands he was sworn to protect, on condition that he should receive time fee simple of two-thirds of the same. Sacrilege and perjury were the foundation of his Scottish estates; and as to the Irish ones, they were, like almost all the rest, the consequence of plunder, robbery, and bloodshed. Thus, the representative of plunder, perjury, sacrile3e, rob- bery and murder, was the man who came forward to abuse and vilely Urn. The noble 31arquis might now call him scurrilous, but who bad comn.ei cud the contest? This was the second attack which had been made by the same person ; but he had forgiven the former one, because he was unwilling to say any thing bad of any nobleman who spent part of his time is this e...nr,-.;y. I lowever, he had been forced into this ; but he would tell the noble Alanylis "nm that spot, that he utterly despised attacks of one wl:o as man was contesmddde., as a imuman being ludicrous and as a Peer who derived his title from s•ieb polluted sources, de:spitiable." " And now," said Mr. O'Connell, " let Lord Ahercorn go to his next Orange dinner with what appetite he may."

Mr. Shell abandoned his motion which had reference to the requi- sition of some Protestant Peers, calling for a public meeting in the city of Dublin, in consequence of Mr. O'Connell having given notice of a motion upon the same subject.

Before the proceedings at the Association closed on Friday. there teas some very slim p altercation between Mr. O'Connell and O'Malley, which is not reported in the Liberal journals; b:it the f oty papers give what we must suppose is a highly-coloured description of what passed. Tice following report is extracted from the letter of the Times' correspondent.

The Reverend Mm. ()Walley having spmdien at great length in reply O'Connell in support f his matron about Poor-laws, during which he waa se- viral times imam opted by Mr. O'Connell, proceeded to say—" I have broaeimed, it appears, a very unpopular error in saving that the tithes ought not to be diminished, no matter to what purpose 'they may be applied : there is oat s. oafish in Ind.ind will agree to it. What, Sir, ;ire we to make it appear tint this hot war upon filial; was not a righteous war of principle, after all, w retched paltry sin-a:able poutils and pence !" 311.. (iconaell—" I!

The squabble continued for some time ; hot Mr. O'Maliey

claimed any intention of alluding isidividualle either to Mr. ,:r Mr. O'Connell in the passages objected to; rend when Mr. O'( onnel said he would move a vote of throttles to Richard Shell for his sere iCi:.57 in the cause of his country and of mankind. Mr. 0'31alley said he would second that motion. Mr. O'Connell begged that he would net, for delicacy's s- he; and Mr. O'Alnlley soon afterwards left the room. Mr. ( ost( line endeavoured to pacify Mr. O'Connell ; but ale interference had not much effect. It was jv'plont, that although Air. O'Malley has some stout friends in the Association, the great majo- rity go with O'Connell, on all occasions.
