      As s «~ n as this coanter procI-imaUon was prmte 4 , it was r-osted all throuch the c : ty , diitrifcuted in the sb » p « i-f h ? uo , b lls , and sent to all the Catholic clergy of the surrcacaing districts . Meantime the greatest excitement preTafled in the city , and the aTenues leading to the Corn Exchange weie tbrong&d by thousands ef people , anxious to know what was coming next .

      AKB 1 TAL OF A THOUSAHD IRISHMEN FJtOM ESGLAND . To increase the excitement , about one thousand Irish Repealers , resident in LiTerpool , Manchester , && , had chartered one of the City of Dublin steamers , and arrived in town about ten o ' clock , to attend the Clontarf 3 If eticg- They were an exceedingly well-dressed and comfortably-looking body of men . In order to allay the excitemeiit , Mr- O'Connell , after issuing Sis Proclamation , and taking measures to have it as extensively distributed and circulated as the time ¦ would permit , coBsidered it adrisabie to hold

      an—EXTBAOBDIHART MEETING of the Repeal Association , and at nearly Four o'clock ha entered the Large Room of the Com Exchange , which "was crowded to excess in every part . The Hon . and Learned Gentleman , on making his appearance , wasTgceived with the most enthusiastic cheering wh ? ch lusted for seTeral minutes , and on his taking the chair , the cheering was Tenewed . Order at length having been restored , " Mr . O'Coj »> -ell rose am 5 d the moBt intesse silence , and said , the reason be came there to take the chair that day , was in compliment to Wb LiTerpool and Man-Chester friends , wh 9 had kindly come oTer to aid in the great Repeal demonstration of Sunday , He wished to explain to them the state of affairs as they actually

      stood , and the measures he intended taking in conseqnerce . They were not , perhaps , aware that the Government had issued a proclamation ; and although it was , he declared , illegal , he thought it better not to allow them to have a triumph over the people , bnt to put them in the wrong , and put irfftha meeting , rather than ha" » e it accompanied by any species of violence . The proclamation was delayed until three o ' clock this day , the latest hour possible , and half the people that intended to be sA the meeting , conld net in the ordinary course , have heard of it ; but he had resolved to iisue a counter-notice , calijrg on tbe people not to assemble there to-morrow , though he did not allow that Government document to be at all legal . Let them not tlunk that it would interfere wiih the progress

      of the Repeal agitation— ( cheers ! . Bat if they held the meeting to-morrow , disiaroance mifht ensue , aed his business Vfas to keep the people sife ^—thear , hear , bear , and cheers ) . He had , therefore , thought it r ight to get a notice printed , cautioning the people in the c-tratry parts from coming into town—( hear ) . He wonld send down the notice by that night's post to Tara , Etlls , Navan , aed all other towns and villages , whose mnJtitudes would have poured in , and to every Cstbriic clergyira *! in ttat part of tbe country , cautioning them against holding the meeting . Thire would , therefore , be no meeting . ; and if any one were ipecularici ? on the blood of the people , they would be disappointed—ibear , hear , and loud cheering ) . He thought the conduct of the Government very strange . This was to feave been almost the last of their meetlncs . He had gone through Ireland , and it certainly did not look ¦ well that they did not send out their proclamation

      till- three o ' clock that d . \ y , when , bu % f « r his activity , the notices he thought it right to issne conld net rearh the people ^—( hear , bear ) . However , be looked on the proclamation as an accommodation ; for tbere was not even another meeting ativertiEed . He might have held one or two on his way to Derrynane , but no day for any of them was fixed—( hear , hear ) . Ho thought it his duty to give this intimation for the sake of his friends from Manchester and Liverpool ; and he could assure them that the Repeal cause , so far from being tarnished by this arbitr-ry act , should receive an additional stimulus , and every one should be encouraged thereby to advocate the Repeal of the Union —( cheers ) . The usual weekly meeting would be held en Monday , and the dinner wonld take place on Monday evening . Mr . O'CoBEell then left the chair amid the acclamatiens of the meeting , and the people immediately dispersed qaietly . Saturday , rix o'clock , p . m .

      Mjljtabt Pkepap . atjo > S . —The commander of tbe Forces issued erders this day to have all the men confined to barracks . According ? , at the Royal Barracks , Richmond Barracks , Island-Bridge , aud Beggars-Bush , all the guards wtre doubled , iad the men kept in readiness to fall in at a moment's notice . Dcbliu Castle . —At Castle the guards were not only doubled , bat two extra companies of foot and a squadron of dragoons were quartered in some of tbe office buildings . PiGEON-HorsE Fobt . —Orders having been issued in the course of the day , this Fort was placed in a state of seige . Tfce guns already mounted were made ready for instant action , and others were run out so as ; to command the Clontarf shore ! Mobe TB . OOP 5 . —Two bettalionB of tbe Guards , it ya sa ? d , are momentarily fxpected . The Rhadamanthus is also expected m Kingstown this evening , with troops snd atnnnitioD .

      . The 54 th Rrghnent , at present in this city , under orders for Athlone , will remain here , the orders having been conntermaDded . The 34 th , from Scotland , is under orders for Dublin , and is expected to arrive this evening , or tomorrow . The to" = Ti is full of rumours respecting the military preparations and precautions on tbe part of tbe authorities , to guard against an insurrectionary movement . Sxatp Pboseccxions—It Is confidently stated , tkat Mr . . O Connell is to be prosecuted for Brdition—the seditious language having teen spoken at the Mullaghmast meeting and dinner , where there were reporter * present on the part of the Government . There are other prosecutions spoken of , to which we shall not more particularly allude at present

      It is also rumoured , that a Special Commission is to be issued immediately for the trial of political offences against the State , We do sot believe this ; though no act of folly on the part of tbe Government ought now to excite surprise .

      in divisions . They wors not the shako , bnfc their service csps , and each man had sixty rounds of ammunition . As we advanced towards the Sheds of Clontarf we found one brijnde of the Royal Horse Artillery , with two slx-ponnders limbered , and ready in all respects for instant action . Further on , the 11 th ( Prince Albert's ) HusBars were stationed— the mea were dismounted , and in the same position as the Bib Dragoon Gaards . Passing through the Sheds of Clontarf , we found the 54 th Regiment of Foot drawn up in line—Btanding-atease , with their arms piled before them . The msn looked fatigued . On ascending to " Conquer Hill , " wbere the intended meeting was to have been held , we found it entirely deserted . Tbpre were no troops tfeere , nor were there any people in its vicinity .

      Along the entire line we have described—nearly four miles tho people were passing and re-passing in hundreds . There was no possibility of a crowd cellectiDg at any one spot , as the people were confined to the road , which is bounded by tbe Strand on one side , and the fields , the property of Mr . Yemen , on the other , into wbicb access was denied , Mr . Vernon being on the spot to prevent trespass . There was no manifestation of public feeling whatever . Tbe vnst crowds appeared influenced only by a feeling of curiosity . There was neither " cheering " nor " groaning ; " and , indeed , it would have been impossible for the multitudes along tbe line to have conducted themselves in a more orderly and peaceable manner . The troops on the ground also behaved well , and presf nted no obstacle to tbe people passing and repassing . FODB O'CLOCK , P . M .

      The troops still remain on the ground , guarding tbe entire line , as above described . The guard at Aldborouah House still remains stationary . The crowd of people along the line is undiminishe ^—but not the slightest manifestation of feeling has taken pbce .

      " MONSTER" DINNER AT THE ROTUNDA . To-morrow tvening the first " Menster Dinner" is to take place at the Rotunda , evtry available rucm of which building has been engaged for the occasion . Mr . O'Connell will attend , and it is calculated that some thousands will be present . The tickets have been made bo low as 3 s . 6 ti .. to admit the people at large . Balf-past Five oCtock .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . The Times' correspondent in the Times of Tuesday . says-. So early as nine o ' clock « u Snn . iaj morning persons began to asseinb'e opposite the Corn Exchange-rooms , partly with a view to learn what tbe Committee of Management wore tJoing , and parrly through a desire to obtain a good place to hear Mr . . O'Connel ) , in the event of his addressing the Association . The Hon Gentleman , however , disappointed them . Shouts that jent the air announced about two o ' clock

      that the- " Liberator" was coming ; but , although tba people by this time extend ? ' ! in one dense mass from the Cora Exchange to Carlisle Bridge , and although the rooms of the Association were crowded with members aud associates who bad forced their way to them , despite of a previous annonne ^ nn-nt that there would be no meeting , tbe Hon . and Learned Gentleman declined to address them , remained but for a short time in one of the commitiee-rojms , and took his departure amidst the same vociferous cheering which hailed his arrival .

      Prosecution of Mr . O'Conkell . —The same writer Bays : —J understand that reports of seme oj Mr . O'Connell $ speeches are under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown , in tonttmpiation of a prosecution .

      held to-day ? We cannot , therefore , attach muoh credit to this rumour . It is also positively stated Mr . O'Connell is to be prosecuted . One party will bave it that be is to be arrested . It is needless for us to say that we see no reason to rely much on these rumours . We have not the means either authoritatively to confirm or contradict them . Other state prosecutions are likewise upoken of , and seveial individuals have been named to as ; bnt we do not think it prudent to descend to particulars at present

      STATE OF THE CUT TO-DAT . If anything , the city is in a greater state of excitement to-day than on the two previous days . A gentleman farriilinr with the scenes of ' 98 and 1803 mentioned to us that ho does not remember anything approaching to the stote of excitement at all in this city since the latter period . Among the respectable merchants tha excitement is fully as great as ' among the p « pulace . The principal topic of conversation in the Commercial Buildings ia the proceedings of Government and the events to which they aro likely to lead . How all this coercion and foolish military display wiil terminate la the anxious topic of speculation among all classes . The troops to-day are confined to barracks , and the same precautions taken as if an insurrectionary movement were anticipated . Five o'Clock , p . m .

      No rioting or disturbance has occurred up to this hour . We are now going to press . A vast crowd fills the entire of Upper Ssckville-street , Great Britainstreet , and North Frederick-street , attracted by the nioi . stor dinner at the Rotunda , at which Mr- O'Coisnell presides . The : doors were opened at half-past four o'clock , when tbe rush to guin admittance was very great .

      POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT PROCEEDINGS We have not time nor space to-day to enter fully into this subject . We have given , with great amplitude and exactness , the occurrences of tho three last eventful days ; and really tho Government ought to be proud of their vast achievements . Their proceedings altogether have displayed a ridiculous pomposity . It would seem that , like Rip Van Winkle , they have been asleep for a good while ' past , and suddenly awoke to a knowledge of events that were passing under their noses for the last six months . Tbe " pomp and circumstance" with which they ushered in tho military display of yesterday was exceedingly ridiculous . All their preparations and precautions to guard against a surprise of military posts were on the ? arae scale . It would have appeared , in-< lefr

      There is , in truth , but one opinion among sensible men of all parties respecting the entire conduct of the Government—of the miserable and driveHtag Government—to whom tbe destinies of this ' country aro tintrusted—a Government weak and contemptible for real Rood , and strong only in bringing all law and justice into disrepute . : Why , it is asked , was the issuing of the Proclamation delayed till three o ' clock on Saturday ? Was it that the people might not have warning in time?—that they inijtht assemble at Clontarf ?—and what then ? A second edition of tbe Manchoater massacre—nay , ten thousand times worse . ; Lorn DtGri y arrived here ¦ with the Lord Chancellor on Friday . Troops marched from Weedon and Manchester on Friday , and embarked on Saturday . Why , then , was not the Proclamation issued on Friday ? Why was It wilfnlly delayed ?

      It was determined in England to proclaim the C'ontarf meetinr . Lord Dt Grey and the Lord Chancellor arrived on Friday for tbat purpose . How , then can the delay in the iaauing of the Proclamation be accounted for and justified f It was a fearful and a wicked act , fur which this wretched Executive muat render account . The result of the whole proceedings of the Government is directly contrary to what the Government intended . Agitation is to be carried on more triumphantly than ever . We are to have three rounds of simultaneous meetings !—VfQ bope the Government are Knti . ifled .

      Return of the Troops to Dublin . —From Tuesdays Times . —Shortly after flvre o ' clock , ther was a general move on the part of the spectators towards Dublin ; an 4 , as tbe place was soon cleared , and the troops could be of do more service , except iu shooting wild-ducks and curlews for their ifficers' mess , they received orders to " march , " and shortly after nix o ' clock , were safely ensconcotl in their respective barracks . No disturbance or riot of the slightest kind took place throughout the day , and up to eight o ' clock all was peace aad quietness .

      Mr . Kelly having addressed a few obsenratioaa to the meeting , some money was handed in from persona who were stated to have joined the ranks of Repeal in consequence of ths late Government proclamation . Mr . Bernard Tratnor presented an address to Mr . O'Connell from Stalybridge . j Mr . O'CONNELL replied . \ Mr . Rat read the minutss of tbe last weekly meeting , after which ' j Dr . Stephens , of Atby , in handing in some money-£ & 10 s ., said that it was contributed in the Repeal reading rooms from the Repa »! ersi > f that town , immediately after he read for them the Government proclamation against Repeal—( cheers ) . When he received it he waited upon them after they had done their religious duties , and asked would they do their duty for Ireland—their country ? when they all replied , " She can command our purses , and would to God tbat , without violating any law , we could save her with our blood "—( tremendous applause ) . i

      After several sums of money had been handed in and a number of mem bun enrolled , — Mr . O'Connell read a letter from the Rev . Mr . M'Evoy . of Kelts , who subscribed £ l in consequence of the Government proclamation . Nothing ( said Mr . O'Connell ) could efflict him more in any event that related to himself than the resistance to authority —( hear , bear )—that which , he preached to others he practised himself—( hear , bear ) . If any authority should , in its caprice—for they could not do | it otherwise—arrest him , nothing could excruciate him more than that they should faa ^ e recourse to the leist violence—( cheers ) . He would , with the blessing of God , conduct him through this crisis unscathed and unit tacked , until they ultimately reached the enjoyment of legislative independence—( cheers)—that independence which their lives were devoted to achieve , and j which they never would abandon but with their last breath—( loud cheers ) .

      Mr . Charles O'Callaghak banded in £ 45 from Liverpool , includiiiz ( observed Mr . O'C . ) % Saxon shilling —( cheera and laughter ) , j Mr . GREEN , of Liverpool ; addressed the meeting , and said he was aware there were 400 Repealers in Liverpool who were determined to die rather than desert the cause of Repeal —( cheers ) . Mr .

"

      " Taat petitions to the Houses of Lords end Commons now read be adopted , praying for their recognition of the inalienable right | of an Irish nation to & Domestic Legislature , and in order thereto for a Repeal of the Legislative Union . " ; The resolutions were adopted-The business having closed , j Mr . O'Connell came to tbe front of the platform , and was received with deafening applause . When silence was restored be proceeded to say— " He never , in the course of a long and eventful life , roBe to address a public asBembly with a stronger or more awful feeling of responsibility than at the present moment—( hear , hear ) . At the same time he never addressed a meeting with a more confident feeling of personal firmness—he never

      addressed a meeting with a more triumphant feeling of the propriety of the conduct of tbe people , and the iniquity of their enemies—lliear , bear , and cheers . ) It was quite true that be passed a most hideous day yesterday ; for hours upon hours he could not bring his confidence in the people—in their tranquillity , in their ready obedience ; he could notjraise tbat confidence to a sufficient pitch n « t to apprehend that ruinciiiuf might caoualiy occur , and that the day might end in a massacre of innocent people—( bear , hear ) . He would say it at once , it was not tbe fault of the Government that there was not a mftssacie—( heat ) . He did not hesitate to repeat it , and if be were to fgo to rho scaffold for it to-morrow , he would pot hesitate to say that if the Government had intended to trick the people into b massacre , thty would ; not act otherwise than they did act— ( ht-ar ) . He did ! not gay they had tha «

      iuteation . He could not look into acy human miud , ami be knew , besirtea , that there waa so much folly and absuniity in their entire ! conduct respecting the Repaal , that he did not accuse them of intending that which , but for hia interposition , might have ended in the massacre of unarmed paople—( hear , hear ) . He bad tw » objects^—one to proclaim to Ireland that there was but one safety t . nd one mode of obtaining the Repeal of the Union , and that was the niost perfeot obedience to everything having the shape ( of legal authority . Let them not pause to question if it be exactly legal , for resistance was not legal . Let tho illegality of the authority demonstrate itself ; i bat as long as it kept itself legal , even by name , so ; long , he told the people of Irefand . if they wished for safety and above alJ tho Repeal , they should obey it—( loud cheera ) . A Voioe—We will ail obey you .

      Mr O'Connell— He could ; auswer for all Ireland—( cheers ) . It " ? m manifest the Repeal was coming—it was perfectly maniftst they must have it on one condition—their not putting themselves in the power of their enemies ; and if they obeyed everything having the shape , and even the pretence of law about it , they might set them at defiance , for they would never venture to throw off the mask and raise the dagger . But thia he told them—to have confidence in him —( uhebrs ) . Let him be sneareti at , but he deserved their confidence — ( i-ntbuaiaatic applause ) . He thought of them in ev < : ry waking moment—in his dreams was mixed up arxiety f « r their safety : ha wanted to carry the Repeal without one drop of biood—without crime of auy description—without disturbing the fctato of social order .

      Hs wanted to carry it in suth a way that be could face the Redeemer , having : o crime to auswer for in the ad vice be gave in conducting ! tbe Irish people ; and unless it was a line of conduct which Heaven could approve of , couUlthey be successful ?—| l » ud cheers ) . Well , why did he repeat bis cMi of obedience ? because ha wished to bave it pass from tba Giant ' s Causeway to C » pe Clear , and from Connemata , where they were a ft-w weeks ago , to the H \ Uj of Howth , whose esho they would have awakened yoeterday —( cheers ) . It bad been talked here , that if be We arrested there would be a struggle ; they could not inflict » greater punishment upon him than even tbe utterance of that sentiment , because it shewed they would imagine he was not sincere in his declarattona-w'tKar , hear ) .

      apprised of the Clontarf meeting ^—it was advertised more than a fortnight ago—for rosre than a wetk they had determined to take the step they had taken—( loud cries of hear , hear , hear ) . How did he demonstrate tbat ? Thus did he demonstrate it-fbad not tbey everything arranged , and two regiments on their passage bore ?—had they not settled them to arrive here on the morning of the m eeting —( bear , heaT ) ? They were , therefore , determined to want them , and they couJd want them only for one purpose ; hud what he complained of was , tbat they did not Rivei sufficient notice of their intention to put down the meeting , in order tbat tbe leaders of the people might caution that people of the necessity of not falling into such danger —( cheers ) They bad for six months permitted—ha would say countenanced—similar meetings ; the meetings at £ nnis , Limerick .

      Mr . O'Connell—Aye , and Tara —( hear , hear ) . All these had taken place—the Government took no part in them—their &am « a were ostentatiously proclaimed waa there any prosecution or the amailest hint given of their illegality ?

In snortj all were held with the moat perfeot knowledge of the | Government , and up to Friday lust that was the position of the public mindthe Repeal meeting at Clontarf was to have been equally as peaceable and tranquil as the others ; in fact , it had an additional featore of legality about it—the laymen were more numerous in the requisitions convening the other meetings ; but the requisition for Clontarf was signed exclusively by Catholic clergymen , bo that it waa

      peculiarly marked with tranquillity —( loud cheers ) . The Government , aa they were called , were here earl ; on Friday—that was the evening for publishing tha Gazette , the legitimate source f * r a proclamation to issue ; and he asked common sense , ba asked tha BritlBh Minister , he asked Sir Robert Peel how ha could pass by Friday , and not send forth their prodsmation in the Gazette , if they bad no intention to mislead the people—( hear , hear )? Hid they proclaimed onJFriday , he ( Mr . O Connell ) and others . would havabeen able to go round to the different localities , ou Saturday , caliinsr on the people to obey the proclamation , though they believed it to bo illegal —( h ' .-ar , hear ) 1 But tbiey . did not do it on Friday , and he told them this , if they did intend the horrible trick ( he did sot accuse

      them ) that was the line of conduct they would have adopted—( hear , bear ) . Friday came—they were in Dablin—the Gazette appeared , and no proclamation in it ? Now , if they were as innocent as sucking babes , and Sudden the chief of the suckers —( a laush . )—they had left a belief upon the public mind that they intended to take them by surprise and to massacre them . He absolved them of their wickedness , and only accused them of their power . ( A huqh . ) Well , Friday passed over , and there was no proclamation ; and it was three o ' clock on Saturday when he got that proclamation , when they sent them after nightfall to be posted—( hear , hear , )—but that wonld not do ; if they had served every man in the community with that proclamation , who was it that

      would be disposed to believe it a reality ? Not a single man would , had not his ( Mr . O'ConnclI ' s ) counter pro chmatlon gone out If his proclamation had not been iesued—if messengers had not been sent in every direction , cautioning the people , they wonld hare poured in in tens of thousands , from Meath , the county Kildare , and other places ; in short , nobody could doubt that from three to four oandred thousand people would hava assembled at Clontarf , aud if they did , sacred Heaven } would they not necessarily have encroached upon the soldiers ? or , at a'l events , would it not be next to a miracle that some species of riot would eommence ?—for the most miserable Orangeman in Dublin might hava set them all in confusion . Such an escape of massacra a people never had . Such a set of men ou 2 ht not te

      be in the government o Dalkey island . ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) He bad a copy of tbe proclamation in bis pocket , and he mu&t eay that a more illegal , or a worse constituted document , or one more dangerous in its tendency , was never before issued —( hear , hear ) . Ha would only ask them to contrast its language with that o ? the proclamation issued in Wales , and they would see the damning diversity of the proclamation in Ireland . He-would read the Irish proclamation" Whereas it has been publicly announced that a meeting is to take place at or near Clontarf , on Sunday , the-8 th of October inst ., for tbe alleged purpose of petitioning Parliament for a Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland . " Now , mark tbe next— " And whereas advertisements and

      placards have been printed and extensively circulated , calling on the persons who proposed to attend the said meeting on horseback , to meet and form in processien , and to march to the said meeting in military order and array . " " Military order and array . " That was not true . It was true that two silly advertisements appeared on Saturday week , but to which no name waa attached , advitiog the horsemen to fall in groups , to prevent them Interfering with those on foot ; but there was no" authority given by the Association for issuing those advertisements ; and be believed that be himself had on the lust dsy of their meeting turned them into ridicule . He supposed it was Blackbume or Brewster tbat drew attention to these military advertisements , and drazged them into their proclamation . But to go

      on— " And whereas meetings of large numbers of persona have already been held in different parts of Ireland under the like pretense , at several of which . meetings language of a seditious and inflammatory nature has been addressed to the persons there assembled , calculated and intended to excite discontent and disaffection in tha minds of her Majesty ' s subjects , and to bring into hatred and contempt the Government and constitution of tha country as by law established . " He ( Mr . O'Connell ) denied it . Instead of bringing the constitution into contempt , they were seeking to revive it . They bad always spoken with tho highest respect of the Queen ; and as to bringing , into hatred and contempt the Government , he would Bay nothing ubout hatred , for it was an ugly word ,

      bat as to bringing them into contempt , they were perfectly able te do tbat for themselves without the aid of the Repealers —( hear , hear , and laughter ) . They were the most contemptible administration that this or any other country ever had , or were likely to have in times to come —( hear , hear , and cheers ) . He wouid proceed with this precious document— " And whereas , at some of the said meetings such seditious and inflammatory language has been nsed by persons who have signified their intention of being present at , and taking part in the siid meeting , so announced to be held at or near Clontarf . ? There was a phrase . '—" persons who have signified their intention of being present ; " but tney did not say that those persons intended to repeat the language referred to , or even what the language was . Oh ,

      miracle of wisdom and sagacity . Was not this fudgeography personified . Let him go on— " And whereas the said intended meeting is calculated to excite reasonable and well-grounded apprehension . —( he denied the absnrd allegation)—that tbe motives and objects of the persons to b ? assembled thereat are not the fair legal exercise of constitutional rights and privileges , but to bring into hatred and contempt Che Government and constitution of tbe United Kingdom as by law established , and to accomplish alteration in the laws and constitution of tbe realm by intimidation and the demonstration of physical force . " Recollect ( continued Mr . O Connell ) that no evidence existed of any one of the charges set forth in tbat proclamation ; they were allegations—ebarees on the mere ipse dixit of a few

      Individuals ; and the nation was to late her rights because those persons thought proper to put together and publish all this calumnious nonsense . Sid they allege tbat any violence was committed at any one of these meetings ? and did they dare to say that there was even the slightest breach of the peace attempted at the Repeal meetings ? No ; for they could not , with any decency , proclaim such a grocs falsehood —( bear , hear ) . Evidence of no kind was referred to in support of the charges ia their proclamation ; and why ? because they had it not—^( hear , hear ) . But let him read the remainder of this splendid document . " Now we , the Lord Lieutenant , by and with the advice of her Majesty's Privy Council , being satisfied that the said intended meeting so proposed , to be held at or near

      Clontarf , as aforesaid , can only tend to serve the ends of factious and seditious persons , and to the violation of the public peace , do hereby strictly caution and forewarn all persons whatsoever that they do abstain from attendance at the said meeting ; and we do hereby give notice , tbat if , in defiance of this our proclamation , the said meeting shall take place , all persons attending the same shall be proceeded against according to law . " Now mark what followed—( hear)— " And we do hereby order and enjoin all magistrates and officers entrusted with the preservation of the public peace , and others whom it may concern . " He ( Mr . O'Connell ) would venture to assert that a proclamation so worded bad never been issued in England . They could not content themselves with calling upon all officers and justices of tbe peace to carry out their object , bat they must bring in the low Orangemen to their aid by appealing to " all others whom it may concern , to be

      aiding and assisting in the execution of the law in preventing tbe said meeting , and in the effectual dispersion and suppression ef the same , and iu the detection and prosecution of those who , after this notice , shall offend in this respect aforesaid . " He ( Mr . O'Connell ) would be ashamed of his profession , if he did not feel himself in a position to proclaim this proclamation as the grossest violation of the law he ever met or heard x > l Look at the wording of it . Tfeey were first to prevent tbe meeting , and then to disperse it —( laughter ) . Was it not ludicrous ? They were to take care that the meeting should sot happen ; and then they were to disperse it—( laughter ) . Snch was the proclamation issued on Saturday evening , and issned at an houy that must prevent the possibility of its being made known to the people . What would have been the issue if 200 , 000 men bad come in yesterday , and that iu any of the narrow passages one of them even pressed against a soldier—( hear , hear , hear ) , —and that

      angry words had ensued in consequence ? These persons " whom it may concern ; ' would , no doubt , be glad of an opportunity for some breach of the peace ; and , if tbe slightest occurred , there would undoubtedly have been massacre ^ - ( bear , hear ) . He would now give them the proclamation for Wales—( hear , hears hear ) . It was to this effect— " Whereas in certain districts in South Wales , especially in the coBniies of Pembroke , Cardigan , and Carnarvea , tumultuous assemblies of the people , armed with gunfl and other destructive weapons , had taken place by night , and committed outrages of a violent description upon the lives and properties of our subjects" ( hear , hear , and enters ) . Now , in Ireland they had no tumultuous meetings—they were not armed , nor did they

      inflict injury upon tbe lives and properties of the people . Contrast the conduct of the peopla of the two counties . Those turaulaous assemblages in Wales had pulled down tall-gates and demolished toll-houses , and they kad extorted sums of money from the people by threats and violence—( hear , and eheera ) . Ia Ireland they bad been guilty of no such practices—here all waa peaceable , and' lives tod property were respected . No outrage had been committed by the people at their meetings , however large ; and yet the proclamation called upon "all officers and justices of the peace" to aid in potting them down—( hear , hear , hear ) , while the Welsh proclamation called only npon the " ¦ eivil officers" of the country tp suppress those tnmultuons meetings to which he had referred . Was It fair , was

      it just to make thi « difference In the two proclamations , especially under tbe circumstances , aid looking to the state of affairs in the two countries- ( hear , and cries of " no , no ") ? He , for one , would not say that it wai unlawful to disobey such a proclamation as this—procla mations could not make laws . Act * of Parliament were at one time passed whioa constituted proclamations a part of tbeiawof the land ; but those acts were not now In existence—( hear , hear , hear , and cheers ) . A proclamation was of use to warn people . against committing a crime , but it did not constitute a criminal . He took his stand there , declaring his solemn conviction that tho aien who signed the proclamation on Saturday ought to be imp " eacn . ad , inasmuch as they called on persons to act against the people who had no authority ( Continued in our Seventh page . )

      important meeting of the loyal national repeal association . — THIS DAY . ( From the Dublin Monitor of Monday evening . ) The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was hold at the Abbey-street Theatre to-day , that building having been selected in order lo accommodate the Liverpool and Manchester Repealers , who came to attend tho Clontarf meeting . Long befora twelve o ' clock , the hour appointed for taking the chair , every part © f the theatre was crowded to excess . At a few minutes after twelve o ' clock Mr . O'Connell appeared on the platform , and was received with enthusiastic / applause . On tho motion of t ' re Hon . and and Learned Gentleman , John O'CojmLL , Esq ., M . P ., was called to the nbair .

      The Chairmaa said he felt highly honoured at being calied upon to preside over this meeting . Under ordinary circumstances it was a flattering distinction , but at this important juncture he sensibly felt the distinction conferred on him by placing him in that important position ( hear , hear ) . He con gratulatcd the " noble people on tho conduct they had exhibited yesterday . Much aa their conduct on former occasions waa worthy of approbation , treble and tenfold was it admirable when contrasted with the behaviour of the government ( loud cheers ) . Hitherto the people bad implicitly obeyed the directions of those guides in whom they placod confidence ; and he now called upon them ta attend to the advice and directions ot those who had assumed that office , and who would , notwithstanding what had occurred , stand by them for tho Repeal ( loud cherrs ) .

      . . When the Chairman had concluded his observations , and the tremendous applause with which he was trseoted had subsided , Mr . Hanly , of Manchester ( one of the gentlemen who came over to attend the contemplated meeting at Clontarf yesterday ) , presented an address to Mr . O'Conuell . The address was then read . tyhen silence was restored , which was broken for several minutes after the reading of the address , which was greeted with tremendouB applause .

      Mr . O CONNEti came forward , and was received with the greatest enthusiasm . He said tbat , aa a matter o { courte . he felt deeply grateful .-for the eeutime tB of open regard and public confidence which the address just read contained . He approved of much of it , and i « ll the ^ declarations respecting Ribbonism nnd secret societies , because he knew that no Repealer belonged to those illegal association *—( hear , hear ) . Although some Irishmen bad been foolish enough to join them , they were more foolish than criminal , and he ( . Mr . O'CoDnel !) had to thsnk the loynl nrm of Manchester that they were ready to use their exertions to put them down by every constitutional means in their power— ( cheers ) . The feelings and sentiments of submission to the laws expressed , highly delighted him ;

      and their devoted adherence to the principles of tbe Constitution , and peaceful demeanour , contributed largely to his feelings of joy —( hear ) . If there was language of a strong nature contained in that address , he ( Mr . O'Connell ) had to say that it was that of steady men and true patriots—( cheers ) . It Would be contrary to his principles of agitation to do otherwise than to keep the country and people tranquil—they were in the right , and they would leave the reverse to their enemies— - ( tremendous applause } . Tbe only tyranny be disliked was the tyranny of the Union , anil the only oppressor he recognised was the enemy of Repeal , in which was identified all their cause of complatnt ; but when he ( Mr . O'Connell ) met such assurances , he was cheered on by the great confidence reposed in him ; and they might depend upon it , that by

      cautioning * he people against them—by cautioning the people against their enemies—keeping them steady and free from vice and breaches of the law , they would triumphantly succeed : for there never was a tinre ^—there never was a period , when the cry of " Steady she goes , steady , " was more applicable—^ be » r , hear , and loud chuers ) . The Repealers ¦ would not shrink fr 6 m their duty to obtain a National Legislature a * ain —( cries of " No , never I ") No , they would not j and he requested tbat these gentlemen who presented him with the address from the Loyal Repealers of Manchester , would inform their friendB in that town that they were determined to use every effort to effect a Repeal hi a legal way , and to say that he ( Mr . O'Connell ) had no doubt of success , if the peopla took his advice—no more doubt than he had of the rising of to-morrow ' s

      aun—( great cheers ) . Mr . Stbblb next introduced Mr . Kelit , of Mancheater , to the meeting , who handed in £ 71 10 s . from that town .
