lasted four days, terminating on Saturday, the 9th inst. The charges
alleged ungentlemanly and improper conduct. The prisoner's defence being
closed, the Court broke up. The sentence of the Court will not be known
until the evidence has been laid before the Commander-in-Chief at the
Horse Guards. The prisoner is about 26 years of age. The trial excited
the greatest interest throughout the garrison.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.--On Monday the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal
Association was held at the Corn Exchange, Dublin. The week's "rent"
amounted to 735_l._, of which 1_l._ was from Mr Baldwin, a paper

will have this protective society of 300 sitting before Christmas, and I
hope to be able to give you, as a new year's gift, a Parliament in
College green. (Cheers.) People of Ireland, you deserve it. Brave,
noble-minded people of Ireland, you deserve it. Faithful, religious,
moral, temperate people of Ireland, you deserve to be a nation, and you
shall be a nation. (Much cheering.) The Saxon stranger shall not rule
you. Ireland shall belong to the Irish, and the Irish shall have
Ireland." (Hurrah.) There was a dinner in the evening, at which about
400 persons were present.
