O'Brien , Mr . O'Connell oiled for three cheers for Mr . W . S . O'Brien , -which -were "warmly and enthusiastically responded to . On its arrival in "R " * " * , the scene was one of the most nnimating description .

      The procession having passed through Ennis , proceeded to the Taceconrse ,-whence the cheering of the mighty mnltitnde-could be heard distinctly , although more then two miles distant . 500 , 000 men marched before the liberator of Ms country and the champion of her independence , on ¦ whose very breath he seemed to float in his progress throHgh the country . The first portion of the procession entered ths racecourse at half-past two o'clock , and It "was after four o ' clock before the- carriage came in sight , and -was able to make its -way to the platform . Sir . O'Gonnell having ascended She platform , on i&e moSon of Mr . H . Bridgeman . M-P ^ jnstice of the peace , the chair -was taken by Mr . Cornelins O'Brien .

      The Rev . ilr . SkExsxs , on proposing the first resolution , observed , : ¦ at the battle of Trafalgar -when HeiBon sa ~ w one of his admirals come on gallantly to the fight , and poor in his broadside on the enemy , he exclaimed -with the pride of a Briton and a hero , 'See low nobly CoHingwood bears down ; " and -when they lacked around them that day and saw how nobly O'Connell * bore down on the enemies of Mb country theyoebeld Mm like another Sampson in the temple -of the Pagan , pulling down the pfllara of the temple of corruption , monopoly , and bad government , but , more the favourite of Heaven , and more fortunate than the Jewish Sampson , escaping nnhnrt and nniiynred himself . —When Bonaparte got onto a scrape -with the conncil of 560 , one of his generals told him he had got into a pretty plight 'Jfo matter , * said Bonaparte , ' affairs -were -worse at the battle of Arcola , -when . the horse of the first consul -was precipitated into a morass , and the chief ef Hie army of Italy -w&s about to fall alive into

O'Connell had five of them inDrogheda he

      ban ten in Ennis on that evening —( cheers . ) Those gentlemen were respected in the discharge of their official duties at petty sessions ; and if they were driven from the magistracy there-would be no ¦ warrants issned from the bench . ( Mr . O'Connell and tbe entire company here rose and cheered most enthusiastically . ) The liberator had 3 , 000 clergymen of the second order -with him , Bave a pragmatical gentleman he bad forgotten-at the other aide of tbe ¦ water -who -wrote unread lettere to SirBobert PeeL He "would , however , leave him "where he found him , and to the tender mercies of Mick Clear—( cheers . ) :

O'Ctnrcnsii . rose , -when the cheering and ¦ waving of handkerchiefs -was continued for many minutes , at the conclusion of -which be said , —I am a | prond man I own it . I am a proud man—I never qualified it , — 1 never -will deny it—( cheers ) . I maybe sneered at

      for the declaration , bnt I « wnit—I am ai ^? ery proud man . I am glad of this gradual growth of tbe great cause , until it has accumulated at length into so powerlul and gigantic a shape , that in its career it becomes like the mighty avalanche of the Alpine Hills , small in its career as it left tbe mountain top , increasing as it comes down , and bears with it every obstacle , until , overshooting all obstructions , it pours irresistibly for--ward , annihilating towns , -villages , streams , and lakes , and alters the entire face of nature in one gifantic convulsion—( cheers . ) When I resumed the Repeal , after its suspension by the fact of an English House of Lords and an English Sing making promises and declarations -which , lite others , were only made to be broken , I found a chill of suspicion existed throughout

      the country even against myself . That chill prevented the swell of the Bepeal cause . I laboured ! incessantly to convince those -who doubted me that 1 was In earnest . I printed more letters , issued more declarations to the people , made more -speeches , than ever I did in tbe course of my life before for j five times that period—( loud cries of "Hear , bear , hear . *'} 1 found tbe atmosphere ¦ warming by degrees ; a more genial glow arising in the public mind , a greater disposition to listen to my injunctions , a greater certainty increasing that there -was no other remedy for national grievances ; some still thought that the Whigs might corns into power again , and that it might be necessary to make the last great movement for the establishment of a native Parliament . Many wise and good men thought so , bul at length they-wereall undeceived ,

      bringing upon us many of them , with Sir Coleinan O'Loghlen at their bead , -who joined our ranks—( Tremendons cheering . ) What hope had they from the Whigs ? Por Mb own part , be knew sol how theyentertaiued the sl' £ htw * - expectation on that bead . Sngden was guilty of using the grossest unconstitntional language ¦ vrfcen be stated -what purported , as be put it , te be the declaration of the Qneen . Bat , after all , did not Lord ? ortescae do worse when he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ?—( Hear , hear . ) Sngden strnck directly home . The worthy little Englishman did not dare to bellow in person ; for had be done so be -would have been doubly fit for a madhouse . —( cheers . ) He would really bs the maddest of tbe five Lord Chancellors —( Laughter . ) But did you hear that Lord Fortescue had the baseness sot to mind the matter—to boast of it in the Boose of

      Lords ? No , be did not intimidate , bnt he sought to corrupt—he did not intimidate—but be attempted to seduce the youth of Ireland —( cheers . ) Lord Fortescue { said Mr . O'Connell ) , you have disgraced yourself as an English gentleman ; and for my own part I prefer tbe downright Tory who did the job openly in the broad daylight , to the miserable , pitiful , sycophantic spirit -which actuated you in thecondnct you pursued . Let him come back and attempt it at the Irish bar ; now . Oh , sacred memory of my beloved Michael O'Loghlen , your angel spirit looks down upon the opening hepa of your bouse , who , although but in Ms 24 th year , has made for hims e lf a place in history , and taken a niche amongst the fcremvst patriots of Ireland !—{ Tremendous cheering , -which lasted fer several minutes . Tes !

      1 Sing Whig and Tory from me with equal contempt —( Cheers . ) As to the Queen ' s declaration , somebody had tbe kindness to communicate to mealthough , mind , I dont say she knew it -would be done —that Her Majesty made no such declaration , and for ¦ which 1 am truly grateful He had it from her own lips , and I have it from him , who heard her declare in his presence that sbe never authorised Peel to make such a declaration . ( Loud and long-continued cheering . ) I want to know no-w who is the loyal man-Peel , "who calumniated his amiable and lovely Sovereign , or tbe agitator , 3 > iniel O'Connell , -whs trould die crbtr ? { Cheers ior some moments . ) On they go threatening us , and on comes a f urions tirade in The Times , newspsper , ¦ which , as you know , by its spirit of virulent bigotry , inflamed the minds of tbe English against

      the Irish people , their religion , and its ministers . By this means they succeeded in packing the present Par liament , and making Her Majesty a state prisoner in her own palace . ( Cheers . ) The Times came out on me and said -war should be made immediately . * I got the intelligence from Mallow , -where I addressed 450 , 000 of my countrymen , -who all heard what I said , because all listened with tbe most profound attention . Between that and dinner hour , I got tbe newspaper ; containing the threat , -which I instantly met with my high and haughty defiance , as the man does who is met by a miscreant and threatened to be plundered of his property . ( Cheers . ) Let me tell you that tiie Ministry nave been employed latterly in deep debates upon the state of Ireland ; that division reigns among them . I may venture to assure you that coercive measures will not be used .

      A Toice—They dare not Mr . O'CoKltJELL—I have received information on which I can implicitly rely , and from a quarter incapable ef being deceived , or deceiving me , that Peel's party of conciliation in the Cabinet have triumphed ; and an attempt ¦ win be now made to see how they can bny us off . ( Cheers and laughter . ) They -want to coax ns , and they shall succeed in doing so when they coax the birds on the bushes . IA laugh . ) He , howey&r , firmly believed the determination be alluded to was adopted by the Cabinet , and he \ ras quite-prepared to meet it in

      excellent ? ood humour . If they were prepared to sever the church fros the state in Ireland , he should be much obliged sud delighted ¦ with the change . The Catbolic Cimrch bsd ail tbe church livings and tithes in former times ; and ¦ when they ¦ were taken away net ont Catcolic "went afier tbtm . Ko ; I * p&ak in hilarity . They must yield to thousands , and tens of thousands , for tbe question is not at all like Emancipation , when the greatest aggregate meeting which could be congregated ¦ would not fill this chapel . The Irish people don't mean to fight ; but nobody -will fight them . .

      A Voice . —Let them if th 6 y dare . Mr . O'Goxvell . —Ay , if they dare ; but as long u I am allowed to pride tLe progress of the glorious cause , so long will l keep the p ? op : e -within tbe strict letter of tie law and the bennds of the constitution . - The Chairman gave -The Bight Rev . Dr . Kennedy and the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland . " ( Tremendous chfcers ) The Bight Rev . D .. KxxBEp-r being loudly called on , rose and said . —Sir . I aim firmly persuaded that there is not , even in IrfJand . an unhappy people who nave been , and 5 tffl are , more cruelly ilLiised tMn th » moral , industrious , and most unoffending people of Clare . ( Hear , and cheerO It would seem , indeed , from the cruelties which fcave bfctn so long practised

      upon them , and of which they have been , in latter years , even m * ia than ever , the hap '^ ss yet unreristine victims , as if tbeir inhuman—shall I say their fiendish ? —persecutors -were resolved to press thei * merciless ex iciions , and to urge the murderous sjstem of their extermination to the very utmost limits tif human endurance . But let them beware ! It ought not to ba so soon forgotten that human endurarce has its limits in Clare as well as elseirhere . GreaQemea , J agree fnJly srith your illustrious gaest , that nothing bnt fee ltgal murders or assassinations perpetrated in Ireland through the instrumentality cf the erne ! pTocsss of extermination can account for the n'wful deficiency , amounting to oTtr 700 , 000 human beings , in the ordinary increase of our population from 1 S 31 to 1 S 41 ,

      Atrocious FA . BK . 1 CATION .--Tue { uli- » win (? appeared inthel / jftil of Thursday : — "In , the Mail of Monday we gava a circumstantial account of the murder of the Rev . Jajnea Lowrey Dicksen , rector of Lavy , in the county of Cavan , alleged to have taken place by the band of a maniao , while in a state of furious excitement produced by intoxication . That excitement and the finding of the inquest we gave ion the reputed authority of a person who represented himself in his letter as tbe coroner of the county , and we inserted it without entertaining a-doubt of its correctness ; for we could not

      have imagined depravity or baseness to exist to such au extent In the mind of any fiend as to induce him . ta invent so atrocious a story . The whole statement is a villainous fabrication : and fortunately , having preserved the origininal manuscript , which we have given to a neat cennoxion of Mr . Dickspn , by whom it will be forwarded to the country by ibis night's post , we are not without hope that the ; miscreant will yet be detected ! With the view of increasing the chances of such a . discovery , we hereby offer a reward of twenty pounds to any person who will afford evidence substantially establishing the guilt of the writer .

      MB . THOMAS STARKER , AND THE DEFENCE FUND . TO ? HB EDITOR OP THE NORTUEHN STAR . SiB-rl have seen in tbe Stars of May 27 tb and June 10 th , * n attempt by Mr . Starfcey , of , Stoke , to shew that he has been neglected by tbe Chartist public in the hour of ; need , while suffering for the Chartist cause ; and that he has a right to some compensation fur the losses he has sustained , and apparently feels aggrieved that you' do not boldly assist him in his appeal . Fearing that some persons may believe , from Mr . Starfcey ' s appeal that he has not had justice done to him by the managing committee of tbe Defence Fund at the late Special Commissionjat Stafford , whereat Mr . &tarkey ] wa 8 tried , and as I was one . of that committee , and happen to know something-of Mr . Starkey ' s affairs , I deem it to be my duty to explain the matter .

      When Mr . O'Connor remitted to me the £ 50 for tbe defence of the victims , I immediately proceeded to the nomination of a committee of management . This being accomplished we proceeded to ; examine the ground we occupied . In so doing we discovered that , according to our calculation ( the cases being so many ) wo could not do more ; than fee counsel , unless we received more funds from other sources . With this view we passed a resolution that all persons on trial'Should support their own witnesses . This rule was strictly adhered to , and in no instance broken . True , one person borrowed a sovereign of me with an understanding that it should be refunded the nextjday but one ; but it has not yet been refunded ; and if It be not forthcoming soon , I shall be under the

      unpleasant necessity of publicly appealing for it . This I must do ] in common Justice to those parties who were re / used \ svpport far witnesses . Therefore , whatever Mr . Starkty ' a expenses may have bevn for witnesses ( and I believe they were great ) , the dtfence committee could do nothing for him . And I further add , that should compensation be made to Mr . Starkey , it will open the floodgates for such a sweeping appeal for compensation as has never been nt ard of in the history of Chartism . I would like to see ALL iDjured persons compensated . But can it be done ? Can we now support the families of those in comfort who are in durance ? Let Mr . Starkie , therefore , take comfort that he is at liberty !

      With regard to his law expenses , I am onlysorry that Mr . S . never applied for our assistance . Had he bave done BO , he would have received all ; the assistance that waid possibly'have been rendered from myself , the committee , and Mr . Roberts , whose exertions on behalf of the victims were herculean . I will only add , that had thn committee undertaken to support witneases , one thousand pounds would not bave served their purpose . To obviate , therefore , the great expense that parties were subjected to by public accommodation , I threw open my own bouse to make a

      home for thorn . And the compensation I received was the lpaa of a ; month ' s work , with danger of loosing ray employment , debts contracted to the amount of several pounds , ; to Berve them ; and when I asked for the money to pay them off , I waa abused for not paying myself out of the surplus funds , instead of refunding them to ' Mr . O'Connor . And I bave not , even yet , received : anything towards <¦ compensation , " unless it be the esteem of a few , I hhallever delight to serve . I am , Mr . Editor , a friend to even-banded Justice ; and ualess we all be ho , we shall make poor regenerators of our poor , bleading , and prostrate country . W » . Peplow .

She told me she first went into tbelplaoe where the cows were , and Mr . Alven came to herJ and after a little -while he told her she had better ge into the haylof J . Thatsbe believed it waa about four o ' clock when ahe went there , and tbat about sir o ' clock , the child was bora . That Alveu assisted her in her confinement That she believed the child would have been |; living at this time if it had not been destroyed . That about a minute after tbe child

      waa born , Alven told , her to go down oat of the loft . That she went down where tha cows were , and that Mr . Alven came down fin about five minutes , and that ehe took her clothes , and pinned them up before her , in order to prevent any running . Sht said that she had never seen the child , bnt had left Alven in the loft with it ; that she knew noth ing of what became of it afterwards ; tbat Alven had milked the cow for her ; that she stood there whilst he milked it , and afterwards earned in the milk herself , and went to bed . She also said , that to the best of her knowledge apd belief the child was born alive ; { that Alven had never told her what he had done with tbe child , and that sbe had

      never seen it . She also said , that some time afterwards , when Alven's dog had paps , he made gruel for It ; and that she bad said to him that he bad behaved kinder to his dog than to her . This being tbe case for tbe prosecution , the prisoner Alven was asked if he * had anything to address to the Court ? when he replied , " I am innocent of the charge , gentlemen . " Upon this the female prisoner instantly exclaimed , "He is nbt innocent , gentlemen . " It is impossible to describe the impression made in the court by this unexpected announcement , and it was not for some time that silence could be obtained . When order was restored , the prisoner said that she wished to tell everything , and proceeded to make tbe following confession : —

      "I was delivered of a child , and the prisoner Alven took it from me . He delivered me himself . It waa on the Sunday before Christmas day last He twisted a hayband and tied it round the child's neck , and hid it then amongst the reeds . He never allowed me to see the child , and he said 11 never should see it ; and he never wonld tell me whether it was a boy or a girl , because if no one saw it I should never blush if accused by any one . { As soon as I was delivered he told me to go down . I heard the child cry before and after I went down , fl was in the hayloft about ten . minutes after the child was born ; and about ten minutes after I was confined I went down and fetched the milking pail , and ! brought it up to milk tbe cow . Alven carried the milk as far tbe kitchen door ; I took

      it up and carried it in and placed it on the table . I then went up stairs and went to bed . 1 saw Alven place the hayband round something and heard it cry . It was mooniight at the time , and there are windows in the place . When he was twisting the hayband his back was towards me , and , after it waa tied he threw it amrog tbe reeds . I beard the child cry after I came down from the loft . I left him there , and he returned about five minutes afterwards . 1 never heard the child after Alven came down . He never told me whert the child was . I suspected it was somewhere in the garden . Tbe day after I was confined I went into the garden , ; and saw the ground had been

      removed , at the top of the garden , near the middle walk , bat I never examined the ground . I was in the stable at the time I was taken ia labour , and Alven told 'ma to go up into { the hayloft ; he said it was the beat place . I never asked him what had become-of the child . Mr . Alven was the father of the child . He talked to me about my being with child ; he said he knew what was the matter , with me ; he never mentioned that he should deliver me himself . I had provided the clothing ! myself , and gave it to my slater to keep till I wanted it I purchased it myself ; Mr . Alven never suggested the getting any clothes for the child . I never left his service . Tbat is all I bave to say . " int . — ^_ L » 1 — . -. # A . l _ 2 _ i _ J—Ii— 9 * ' ¦ ^ *» _* . The whole of this delivered with much sim

Number of Cattle : —Beasts 1 , 006 Sheep and Lambs 9 , 219 . Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , June 19 . — The imports of Grain , &o . since this day se ' nnight are of very small amount . A week of very fine weather has had the usual effect of rendering the trade dull . At Friday ' s market only a limited

      business was done in Wheat , and the few sales that occurred were at 2 d to 3 d per bushel below the quotations of Tuesday . Flour , too , was Is per sack and 6 d per barrel cheaper , and met a very languid demand . Oate were held for full prices ; few , however , were wanted , and we make no change in their value . Oatmeal barely supported previous rates . Several patcels of grinding Barley have found buyers for the country during the week at 3 ? 3 d to 3 s 8 d per 60 ibs ; more money is now asked for what remains on the market . Beans aud Peas are held with more firmness .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , June 17 . —Since this day se ' nnight there has been but little raia in this neighbourhood , and during the past four days the weather has undergone a most favourable change , with every prospect of a continuance . The supplies of Flour , Oats , and Oatmeal , from Ireland continue liberal ; but of another descriptions the imports thence and coastwlse are unimportant . The arrivals of Flour from the interior h # ve , of late , been to a fair extent , but not more than adequate to the demand for consumption . At our market this morning a very inactive feeling prevailed , but we do not . make any change in the quotations of Wheat or Flour , the stocks of which are in but , limited compass in factors hands , as well as in those of the trade . The inquiry for Oats and Beans was only on a moderate scale ; and Oatmeal , except of very superior quality , met slow sals at rather lower rates .

      Lonhon Corn Exchange , Monday , June 19 . — Tho demand for all descriptions of English Wheat was inactjve . and the rates Buffered an abatement ou those obtained on this day se ' nnieht , of from Is to 2 s per quarter . Fer free "foreign Wheat the rates were quite Is per quarter lower . The value of bonded parcels was almost nominal . Barley at previous rates . Good sound Malt sold freely ; other kinds at last week ' s figures . The value of oata was freely sustained . Beans and Peas at full quotations , in Fiour no alteration to notice .

      London Smithfield Cattle Market , Mondat , Juke 19 . —The Beef trade wa 3 in a very depressed state , and we have not the slightest improvement to notice on Friday's figures . The Mutton trade , generally , was very dull , and tbe currencies were from 2 ( 1 to 4 d per 8 b beneath those on this day se'nnight . The sale for Lambs was in a very sluggish state , at a decline of from 2 d to 4 d per 8 ! b . Veal , 4 d per 81 b lower . Pigs 2 d per 81 b cheaper . The imports of stock have comprised two ows , at Hull , from Rotterdam , * but we had none here to-day . Bokough Hop Market . —Tho accounts from tbe plantations being mure favourable than of late , considerable effect has been produced upon our market . Although the supply of hops offering is by no mean 3 extensive , the demand is extremely inactive , at a decline of from 2 s io 3 u per cwt ., wnile lower figures are generally expected .

      Borough and Spitalfields , —For tho time of year , a liberal supply of-potatoes has been received at the water-side , during the past week .

      REPEAL MEETINGS—MILITARY MOVEMENTS . The limerick } Chronicle , a Tory paper , gives the following striking ^ description of the Repeal demonstration in Clare , bnj Thursday last : — "Frem an area of more than 100 miles the peasantry gathered to the frendezvouB , travelling day and night from every village and hamlet of Clare , nay more not only the confines , but more central parts of the counties of Limerick , Tjpperary , Galway , and even King ' s County , having crossed the Shannon in different parts Tor the purpose : ] so tbat it is sot strange under a combined and simultaneous movement , there should be assembled a multitude of certainly not leas than 150 000 persons , many of vrhom have not yet reached their homes , after being witnesses and actors in this unprecedented Bepeal demonstration . Partisanship

      will be eager enough to magnify the numbers present to one million ; but the above calculation may be depended on ; and it is miraculous how such a vast meeting separated without accident or injury . There were about 6 , 000 horsemen on the ground , and the cavalcade of cars might satisfy the large commissariat staff , having extended from Ennia to Newmarket , a distance of six-miles . There were upwards of 1 * 0 Temperance bands in attendance , and tbe lion of the day was Mr . O'Connell ; but his voice , however familiar with masses , could not be heard by more than half the concourse who surrounded the platform , in an area of several acres , ; the others being left to imagine what was said by him and other speakers . Mr . O'Connell received £ 1 , 200 ! Repeal rent at this gathering , with a promise of more .

      Cubiotjs . — "W « Bhall conclude with a perfectly novel and striking incident in the performances of the occasion , "which was the presence of two Frenchmen of most respectable appearance , but like most foreigners , moustached , ' and who held an earnest conversation with Mr . O'Connell on the platform . We have since ascertained their names to be , M . Lesbre , advocate of the Court Royale , Paris , and M . Dassault , his companion . They have never been seen in Limerick or dare before . " There was not a soldier or policeman in view or hearing of the immense Repeal assemblage at Ballycoree , tbe troop of tbe loth Hussars not being nearer than Ennis , and the 36 th and 81 st at Clare Castle . "

      Limerick , Saturday . —Captain Bonham ' s troop , 10 th Hussars , returned to this garrison yesterday morning from Ennis . Two companies ef tbe 36 th , under the command of ; Major d » Lacy , returned from Clare Castle this day , to bead quarters . The military calculation of the numbers at the Ennis Repeal meeting ison the Race Course , 14 , 000 . About the roads and in Ennis—5 , 000-The arms of all the staff of Militia Regiments in Ireland are to be deposited in the Ordnance Depots of their respective districts . Three military * pensioners have been struck off the establishment in consequence of attending a Repeal meeting . —Limerick Chronicle .

      The Beginning sf the End . —The Tipperary Constitution of yesterday contains the following , under the head of "More News for tho Government : ""OnTuesday . Captain Bradshaw ' s men , when out in Golden district collecting county rates , were regularly hunted on making a seizure . Tfaere could not have been less than 1 / 000 persons collected on tbe surrounding bills . Several of the persons who paid cautioned the collector not '; to come again , as the Repeal would certainly come before Christmas . " And again , the same paper thus announces the progreaB of a " passive resistance movement : "— "The Magistrates in Tipperary having some time sinoe granted warrants for recover / of poor-rates in that union , the collector put several in force , the parties allowing the stock to be

      impounded without resistance , and then lodging security ' in money * with the pound-keeper for their forthcoming on the day of sale . The sales were to have taken place on Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday last Notices were in the meantime posted through the country , calling on the people to assemble in Tjpperary on those days , and particularly on Thursday , the holy day , to make a passive resistance demonstration ; in consequence of which the Magistrates deemed it advisable to make application to Lord Downes for an additional force , and accordingly two troops of Hussars and an additional company of Infantry arrived is Tipperary on Tnesday , but whether it was the message said to be

      Bent by O'Connell , or that the bidders were actually in attendance , or the fur csps and hairy faces of the Hussars prepared for the tournament , so it was those passive props of good order considered it more prudent to pay the rate and all ' expenses on the several-morning's of sale . There were also in attendance upwards of 1000 police , under the direction of Messrs . M'Leod and Knareoborough . : Much credit is due to tbe Magistrates and some members of the Board of Guardians , for the arrangements made and the determination to effect sales , as otherwise this ' preface' to resistance against the recovery of all legal demands would bave becoma an established precedent "

      Somewat DouuTFUi / . —The Derry Standard says , *• "We have heard , on authority en which we feel disposed to placa reliance , that the Government intend to apprehend O'Connell , and have him tried for high treason , and that their object in filling the country with troops is to preserve the peace when such an occurrence may take place . " The Horning Herald , the only Ministerial organ amongst the Morning Daily Press , tppends the word " Fudge" to thiB announcement . " Who ' s the' Traiiob ? " —The following strange observations are made by the Tippermry Free Press , the southern organ of Repeal : — " Nothing con arrest the Repeal movement but tbe treachery or timidity of the leaders . We will not suspect them of one or the other , we ds not j believe them capable of either . The

      man who passes now or turns one step aside , or com ' promises one jot of nationality , is a coward or a traitor . The question of Repeal is distinct from any measure of reform—it does notconsfet of parts—it cannot be made np of patches ; the Independence of the Irish Legislature most be unequivocal , unconditional , and fully recognized , or the condition of Ireland will be worse thaD subjection . This straggle can only terminate in national glory or in a national grave . We see no middle ground . If the Repealers ! are not honest , open-hearted , daring patriots , they are ; sneaking pedlars , trafficking in dishonest ware . It is said , indeed , that some brace or two of lords having nerved up their hearts to a certain point in national courage , the great current of the public blood shonid cool down to a befitting temperature in crder to bave the honour of circulating through them . These men are cautious , because they want the

      virtne to speak but ; they are temperate , because they have not the courage to be honest ; and they are steady , because they have not the ken to see which way honour leads . We hope their gloomy counsel shall turn no cloud on this the sunny morning of Ireland . Some talk there is of federalism . We do not understand the phrase , nor wish to do so . If it mean Irish Independence , either mediate or immediate , it is a deception on those who join the nationalists in its name ; and if it means less than such independence it is treachery to those who wonldr consent to struggle only for tbat ' Now , it should be , borne in mind , that Mr . Cunnell himse . f , at the cloBe of his celebrated speech in the corporation , unequivocally declared that he would be satisfied with a federal Parliament Does the Free Press mean to attribute " deception" and " treachery" to the Hon . and Learned Gentleman ?

      Omisot ? s—Mr . OConnell has promised to hold n Repeal meeting in Waterford , on the 12 th of July , the anniversiry of the battle of Aughrim . Seakch tor Arms . —Tbe Belfast Chronicle contains the followjn ? announcement : — "It is said that it is not an uncommon practice to convey fire-arms clandestinely into some parts of the country , concealed in coffins made for the pnrpose . We understand that orders have been issued to the magistracy and police to bs vigilant in detecting this and other unlawful modes of conveying arms into the interior . "

      That tbe antlwrilies do suspect that arms are surreptitiously obtained by the peasantry is quite manifest from the foKowing rather ludicrous result of police vigilance which is reported in both the Limerick papers : — " On Sunday last , two poor countrymen and a woman were proceeding along the Crescent to their neighborhood of Patricks well , with a cuffin in a car , in which to lay \ m its last resting-place the body of a relative who d : ed the previews' day , when , to their astonishment and dismaj-, two policenif-n stepped them ,

      and demanded to ; see what tbe coffin contained . In vain tbe poor creatures p-otested against so gross an outrage in vain they assured these ¦ worthy officers of tbe law that it only contained a few necessaries for the "• wake- All-would cot do—opened the coffin should be , and opened it Was , when they discovered to their horror , —not bullets , powder , and impktnenta of war , — but candles , tobacco , and snuff ! Having made this nohible discovery , " the policemen retired evidently disconcerted , and the poor people were allowed to proceed on their way home . "

      Effects of ihe Repeal Agitation . —The Lime rick Chronicle remarks— " Since tbe Rvptal agitation has become so hot , a greater stagnation of business in every branch of trade was never known in Limeritk , and the shopkeepers complain universally of it , ascribing it truly to the political excitement and apprehension which occupies every mind at present The utmost difficulty is found in the collection of rents . " Captain Henry Cooper ' s company , 4 £ th Regiment , arrived in Cork garrison from Spike Island , on Monday . Part of the hasgage of the 2 nd { Queen ' s } DragoonB arrived in Cork on Saturday , per Jupiter steamer , from Dublin .

      EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF INFANTICIDE AT CREWKERNE . ( Abridged from the Sherborne and Yeovil Mercury . ) Considerable excitement has existed in the town of Crewkerne for some time past , io consequence of a rumour that prevailed that a girl named Martha Clarke , who lived as servant to a Air . Alven , a person of independent property , and the son of a former banker of the town , had been delivered by him of a child , of wbicb he was the father , and which he bad destroyed . So long ago as the 19 th of May last the cirl had 'mode disclosures which led to the

      apprehension of both prisoners , aud several investigations bad taken place before the magistrates , who from time to time remanded the prisoners . On Sunday last , bowever , the ) body was found in the garden of the male prisoner , ; and an inquest was held on it the following day , when the jury found their verdict " that the body now found ia the body of a human being , an infant , but how or by whom placed there is not known . " The prisoners , however , were again brought before the magistrates on Thursday last , when the case was fully gone into . High Symonds , constable of Crewkerne , examined . —From information I had received , I made a search in Richard Alven ' s garden on Monday last , between eleven and twelve , and , moving the ground , I first turned some dung ; and in the middle of the dung 1

      found the remains of what I believed te be a human body . There was a hayband found round the body . On finding it I communicated with the parish officers . 1 Willlatn Pottinger—On Sunday last , the 11 th inst ., I assisted Hugh Symonds In making search in Mr . Alven ' s garden ; we found something there about a foot under the surface ; it first : appeared like dung . I desired Symonds to be careful with the spade . I saw him take up something , but I don't know what it was , bat from | what I bave seen to-day , I think it was the bead of a child . I fetched Mr . Bowdage , and saw him and Symonds take up what we so found with two spades . I saw a band round the body , as I believe , composed partly of hay and straw . There was an appearance Of blood about the band , and I stained my fingers when I touched it .

      Emanuel Bowdage— I am a surgeon . About a quartet before ' one on Sunday I was called upon by Pottinger , and In consequence went to Richard Alven ' s garden . JMy attention waa directed to the body of an infant lying on its back ; the head was distinctly visible . Symonds land myself placed it on a board . The bones of the head fell to pieces . I this morning have again examined the body . I found » band round the body which ia composed of hay and straw . It was tbe body of a full grown infant , much decomposed . From the appearance of the blood on the hayband , I believe it came from the body of the ehilrf . If the child had been stillborn , ) in my opinion therei would have been no blood . In my judgment , and forming that judgment from the state of decomposition , the child must have been born about five or six . months since . The body was so decomposed , that I cannot say whether it was male or female .

      Sarah Bulgin deposed , that in the harvest time of last year she had observed that Martha Clarke looked large , as if with child ; tbat she had joked her on the circuniHtances . She had afterwards remembered and observed to her that there was a great difference in her appearance . Mary Fowler , wife of Joseph Fowler , yeoman—I know Martha Clarke . She was a servant of Mr . Alven . On Sunday week before Christmas-day iast , Miss C ^ les called on me . Mias Coles is a relation of Mr . Alven ' s , and lives-in bis house . She said to me there were strange tales about Martha Clarke , and asked me to come to Mr . Alven'a house to see if I thought she was in the family-way . I went to Mr . Alven ' s house ' about four o'clock . About an hour after I got < &ere , I heard Martha come into the passage , through the back door . She put something on the table , and I heard a noise as

      if she was * pouring milk from a pail into a nulk-pan . I afterwards saw a pail on the table , and the milk . I then heard her go up sUurs ; Bhortly after some one came to the door . Misa Coles called Martha to come down stairs several times . Martha said if any person wanted her tbey must come up to her . Miss Coles then went up stairs , » nd afterwards came down again , and asked me to go up and see her . I then went up stairs and found Martha Clarke in bed there . She was sitting upright . I asked her how she was , and what was the matter ? Sbe said "I am poorly , but there is not much the matter . " She said , " Mary ; you know it has been reported a good deal about me that I am in the familyway . '' I said , " Yes , I have heard of it . " She said , " I assure you it i 3 no such thing . " She then took hold of my hand , and said , " Now feel me . " I then put my hand all over her stomach , and felt as if I thought she

      was not in ' rthe family-way . Charlotte Coles , Mr . Alven ' s cousm , and the manager of his house , corroborated the last witness ' s testimony , except with regard to some trivial points of- conversation . ShejdepoBed th » t she had inot suspected Martha Clurke otbeing in the family way ; and although she had heard xeportato that effect , she h * d noo attached any credit to them . ; ¦ Elizabeth Turner , wife of John Tomer , policeman—My husband hrongbt Martha Clatlwte his house in
