The second eenerid meeting of the Ulster Constitutional Association was

held at Belfast on the lath ; Lord Charlemont in the chair. At the former general meeting., a Sub-Committee was appointed to report on the Registration and Election Laws : the result of whose delibera- tions has been embodied in a report. The eonsateration of the impor- tant recommendations ...intl.:teed in this report was the principal busi- ness for which the present fleeting was convened. Lord Gosford moved the first reselatioa—that the report of the Committee on the Registration and 1:teetiots Ltres be received and adopted. He ex- plained that the Geterttl Conm,ittee, at their meeting on the I tith, had come to the deci-irnr; •.11 hor,T,In-franchise they had formerly

Mr. O'Connell in his speech alladed to the arrival of a vessel in Limerick for the purpose of conveying emigrants to Jamaica ; and he warned the people against emigrating. He denounced the recognition of Texas by the British Government— Lord Palmerston, though a clever man, was not always right. his Lordship had got great credit for humiliating the Government of France. That he had done so there was no doubt; but Mr. O'Connell was of opinion that the result would not prove that it was a prudent policy to give up the friendship of France for that of Russia. But to return to the question of em'gration: lie had to inform them, that ships had come to Ireland from Texas looking for emigrants; and a mare certain death than going to Texas the people could not meet with. The climate was bail, the swamps were fatal, and the quantity of insects with which it was swarmed was most horrifying. Texas had revolted from Mexieq because :Mexico had abolished slavery. The extermination of the Indians, and the continuation of slavery, were the two principles upon which this republic, as it was called, was founded. Ile therefore moved that the question be re- ferred to the Standing Committee to consider of a plan for warning the people against emigration to pestilential countries; for watching all seaports, so that when vessels should arrive in them, looking for emigrants to Jamaica, or la• bourers for Texas, the Catholic clergy should be instructed to warn the inha- bitants of the danger and horrible consequences of embarking in those vessels.

He alluded at great length to the Carlow election ; which, he said, had been gained by the exterminators, and lost by the friends of liberty, for want of preparation. The proper means had not been resorted to to rouse the electors, who had consequently been led by their landlords. Mr. O'Connell next referred to the meeting of the Ulster Association, and expressed pleasure that such men as Lords Gosford and Charlemont, the Honourable Mr. Caulfield and Mr. Sharman Crawford, had declared themselves in favour of Household Suffrage. Before long, the Re- formers of England, Ireland, and Scotland would be united, and would doubtless wring from the Legislature an extension of the elective franchise. • He said he preferred triennial to annual Parliaments, because the latter being so frequent would not attract sufficiently the attention of the people— He was glad of the meeting of the Ulster Association, although they had done nothing to give the Liberals an additional Member. So far it was a mouthful of moonshine. Nevertheless, he had their expressions in favour of Liberal principles, which made him believe that ere long they would be Re- peelers. Ile intended to prepare an address to the Ulster Association. He would supersede his son on that occasion, as he (Mr. John O'Connell) had superseded him in the management of the Association while he was in the country. "It requires the father's heart to know what pure delight, what a rewarding sensation came over my mind, when I read of the manner in which my son conducted the public business of this Association in my absence. It is not alone—and I speak of it with no vain boast—that he has displayed talent of the first order, and information of the most minute extent, but he showed the greatest tact and temper in abstaining from giving offence to any one. (Cheers.) This is a consolation—this is an amount of happiness that I did not think 1 would experience ; and when I look upon him, and sec his likeness to one who is now in her grave every day increasing,. I reflect that she would have shared may delight at this manifestation of his patriotism and ability. I make Ireland this day a present of John O'Connell." (Enthusiastic cheering.) In the address referred to, he would state their reasons for demanding a Repeal of' the Union, the means by which they intended to obtain it, and the ad- vantages that would accrue to other countries from the prosperity of Ireland under a domestic Legislature. He would tell Lord Stanley in the House of Commons, that if lie passed his bill he would make Repeal inevitable. If that bill should pass before Easter, he would come over to Ireland during the Easter recess, and call for an aggregate meeting in favour of Repeal. Ile would agitate every parish in Ireland, and make Repeal inevitable, if Stanley's bill for disfranchising the people were not immediately abandoned.

Iie concluded by proposing that drafts of petitions to Parliament for Household Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and the No-Property Qualification, should be prepared by the Association.

A meeting of the trades and citizens of Limerick to promote Irish manufactures, at which Mr. O'Connell presided, was held on the 17th. On the preceding day, Mr. O'Connell went to " a tea-party " at Cork, to which he had been invited, in furtherance of the same object.

At the usual meeting of the Irish " Board of Trade " in Dublin, last week, a stormy debate arose on the question of the admission of Mr. Reynolds, of the Repeal Association, as the representative of St. Andrew's parish. He was objected to on two grounds,—first, on ac- count of his violent political opinions ; and secondly, because the meet- ing of the parish which appointed him its representative had been irre- gular. Ile was at length advised to withdraw his claims until they could be better authenticated.
