O'Connell to know si what hour it would be eouYenieni for him to give bail before Judge Barton , himself in £ 1000 , and two sureties in £ 500 each . ( The matter haying been arranged , at half-past two o ' clock Mr . ( PConneli ' s carnage was ordered to the door , when he , accompanied l y Mr . John O'Connell , Daniel CrConnell , jon ., Mr . M'Longhlin , and Mr . Jeremiah Donne , proceeded to Judge Burwn ' B house in Stephen " i > -

      Jndge Burton attended the Queen ' s Bench Chamber as usual at twelve o ' clock , and remained for an hour , but he had only one motion to dispose of , and Bftre the members of thefonrth estate , the attendance in chamber was limited . Is was thought that Mr . O'ConneH would tender bail in chamber , as the warrant had been , signed by a member of the Queen ' s Bench ; "but one o ' clock baling armed , Judge Barton left for his own residence , stating that he would remain there to hear any applications to be made to him until half-past three o ' clock .

      Jndge Crampton , who accompanied his Lordship , left at an earlier period . At twentyminutes to three Mr . O'Connell arrived ii Judge Burton ' s house , accompanied by his two sons , Mr . John O'Connell , and Mr . Daniel U'Connell , jun-, together witk Mr . Cornelias M'Loughlin and Sir . Jeremiah Dunne , town councillors , his sureties , to enter into the required reoogniz&nces for his appearance upon the first day of next Term , to meet the charges of the Government . The Learned Gentleman ( who wore the Repeal button , as did also all the members of his family who accompanied him ) employed himsfti ^ pending the arrival of the Crown Soheftor , by inspecting the splendid and extensive collection of paintings in the front drawing-rooai , where a large number of persons were assembled

      A lew minutes past three o ' clock Mr . Kemmis arrived , accompanied by Mr . H . J . Use , Mr . Bourne ( the Clerk of the Crown ) , and his son , Mr . Walter Bourne , when Mr . O'Connell and all the parties were shown , into his Lordship ' s study . They immediately proceeded to execute the necessary bonds and recognizances . The Learned Gentleman and Mr . John O'Connell were severally bound to appear in the Court of Queen ' s Bench upon the second day of next November , in the sum of £ 1 , 000 , and Mr . M'Loughlin and Mr . Dnnne were bound as their sureties in the sum of £ 500 for each party . Mr . O'Cenuell carefully read oTer all the documents before he affixed his signature to them , and remarked , when he endeavoured to write with a bad pen , "that it was made mare for ornament than use . *

      Mr . Bourne , the Clerk of the Crown , severally swore the contracting parties , when Mr . Justice Barton signed the recognizances , after which Mr . Pierce Mahony ( who attended as Mr . John O'Gennell ' o solicitor ) demanded copies of the informations , and all other documents , &C , from the clerk of the crown and crown solicitor , as his client might require , and handed in the following notice i—* Pursuant to the Act of ParHamentj 6 th and 7 th o ? TViBiam IT- * chapter 24 , I hereby require and demand copies of the examination of the witnesses . respectively , upon which depoationB I have been this day held to baiL And I hereby offer payment of snen reasonable sum for the same as may be demanded . a Dated this 14 th day of October , 1843 . "Daniel O'Cokkeul . "

      Mr . Bourne replied , that as the bail was perfected , copies of all the informations and documents required by the accused parties would be furnished as soon is possible to their respective solicitors . Mr . Keicmis expressed himself is similar terms , and stated that every fair facility which he could grre would be afforded to the Messrs . O'Connell and the other gentlemen charged , with » view to the conducting of their defence . When the business had concluded Mr . O'Connell fkook hands most cordially with Judge Burton , and left innDedialely / or his honse in Merrion-sqnare . The other parties indnded in the infonnations received an intimation from the Crown Solicitor that they should send in the Dames of those they intended as their sureties , and perfect hail , so that it might not be n&cegsary to have warrants issued for their apprehension .

      This was done on Saturday , and this day all the genikmenmeniiosed above appeared with their sureties and perfected bail . The following couewI are retained by Mr . O'Connell : —Messrs .

The WteUy Warder stated in a late edition * on Saturday , that " informations were sworn against Dr . Higgins , Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh . " The Correspondent of the Morning Chrotddt , writing -on Saturday says : — "According to rumour , prosecutions are to be instituted against the Most Bev . Dr . M'Hale , Catholio Archbishop of Tuanr ; Right Rev . Dr . Higgins , Catholic Bishop of Ardagh ; and Lord Ffrench . " The Dublin Monitor , in a late edition on Monday evening , had the following : —•• Up to the hour of going to press we have no anthentic intelligence of any informations having been sworn against any other parties than those before mentioned " The Tumour about the Roman Cithollc Bishops being proceeded against is untrue . "

      STATE OP "PUBLIC PKKLIKG . It was known on the Friday evening that the arrests were to be made . The fact was announced in a late Edition of the Evening Mail , in the follow * ing terms : — " STOP PBESS . " Evening Mail Office , Six o'Cleek . " We stop the press to announce that informations have been actually sworn against all the conspirators before Mr . Justice Burton this afternoon , and were this evening lodged in the Crown Office . The warrants will be executed to-morrow ; and , although wa are aware of the names of all the parties , we think it more prudent to let the law take its course , and not make any further intimation upon the subject .

      "THX iKREiTSWTL"LTAK . E PLACE TO-K 0 B . B . 0 "W . " It is intended to put down with the strong arm of the law all Repeal Meetings , Associations , and Committees , and to stop the further collection of Repeal rent . " God save the Queen . " ¦ Long live Lord Da Grey . " The Correspondent of the Times thus describes the manner in which the second blow" of the Government was received by the people i—•• So early as nine o ' clock this ( Saturday ; morning the excitement couseqaest upon the events of yesterday evening began to manifest itself in the crowds of

      persons that commenced , at this early hour , to throng the streets in the immediate vicinity of the Castle and head office of police ; it being buzzed abroad that the warrant ou Mi . O'Connell bad been already executed , and that the Learned Gentleman might be momentarily expected to arrive in custody for the purpose of putting in bail before the magistrates . Wholly uafoaud « d as were these expectations , some colour of reality was given to them by the fact of a squadron of the 5 th Dragoons having marched Id to the Castle-yard at a very early hour , where they took up their quarters . The troops trere in heavy inarching order , asd each man wore his haversack , containing a day ' s provisions .

      " About ten o ' clock Lord Eiiot rode into the Castleyard from the Park , and was followed in a few minutes afterwards by Mt Lucas , the Undar-Secretary . " By eleven o'clock the upper Castle-yard was crowded to an inconvenient degree by throngs of persons , among whom were numbers cf well-dressed people , drawn together by the double attraction of the usual guard-mounting parade , and in the hope ot witnessing the novel spectacle of the great leader of the agitation made amenable to the laws of his country . There was a studied silence is the multitude ; indeed , the most casual observer could not fail to observe the doubtfal expression visible on the countenances of the crestfallen Repealers , among whom I observed an unusnal number of country people , who were easily distinguished from the Dublin mob by the frieza coat peculiar to the peasantry from the adjacent counties .

      " Mr . O Connell ' s mansion , at the aouth side of Merrion-Bguare , was another centre of attraction , although in a minor degree , judging from the small knot of persons that assembled there up to twelve o ' clock . On passing the house , however , about an hoar later , the crowd had considerably increased , and the steam of excitement was tolerably well kept up by the occasional arrival at , and departure from , the ' Liberator ' s * house of some leading star of the Corn Exchange ; but the chilling silence observable among the mob in other parts of the town was even more remarkable here . The head-pacificator , riding in an outside car , arrived , and JIx . Barrett , of the PVot , left , without eliciting as much as solitary cheer of recognition . Beyond a low mainlining whisper , not a sound escaped sufficient to raffia a leaf of om > of the trees in the fguara " APPEJLSA 5 CE AXD COKDCCT OP MB . O ' CONHELL . The Weeldy Freeman , in a second edition on Saturday , bad the following : —

      " Mr . O'Connell , and bis son , Mr . John O'ConneD , received notice of arrest this rooming , at a quarter to ten , at the residence of the Liberator , on a -warrant charging them with * conspiracy and other misdembanotibs , ' and an intimation was at the same time given them that bail would be required . " The intimation was conveyed in tb . P very handsomest and most considerate manner . Mr . Kemmis , jnn ., called at Mr . O'Connell ' s residence in Merrion Square , to announce that s warrant was out against him . Similar intelligence wss also conveyed to Mr . John O'Connell , who was at the time in the bouse . This was considered sufficient , and Mr . O'Connell pledged his word of honour for himself and the honourable Member for Kilkenny , that they would immediately attend with their bailB , at tee residence of Mr . Justice Barton . The amonnt of security In the Liberator ' s case is , himself in £ 1 , 000 , and two securities in £ 500 each ; and that in Mr . John O'ConnelTs is the same .

      •/ The Liberator , at the time we write , is cracking bis jokes , and in his usual excellent spirit ? . " It may be interesting to our readers to know that , should the Government bring up the Liberator and his son for trial within twenty-one days , the trials will -not , in all probability , be proceeded with until Hilary Term—sh # uld they fix on a period later , the trials may be expected to coma on in December . " The Correspondent of the Times has the following versioD ef the appearance and conduct of the " Libprator ; ""At a qnart « r before three o ' clock , Mr . O'Oonnell , accompaniefi by his bobs John and Daniel , Mr . Jeremiah Dunne , and Mr . Cornelius M'Loughlln ( and followed by several other friends } , arrived in the Hod . and Lssrned Gentleman ' s carriage at the redienw of Mx . Justice Burton- . ..

The charges set forth are generally of the character described in my letter of yesterday . AH the parties are obanred with conspiracy , extending to the MaUUghmasi meeting , the Repeal Association , the Arbitration Courts , the utterance of seditious language , and the publication of seditious libels . "Portior . 3 of the Bpeech of Mr . O'Connell at Mullaghmast meeting are set forth , and it is charged that there was a demonstration of physical force at that meeting , including the employment of O'Connell ' s" police , " and the temperance bands . The speeches and devices at the Mullaghmast dinner arc also described . " The Rev . Mr . Tierney is charged with the utterance of seditions libels .

      " Dr . Gray is charged as chairman of the Repeal Arbitration Court , at Blaokrocfc , the first which had been held . Those courts form one of the principal features in the informations . " Mr . Steele is charged with the utterance of a speech respecting the Queen ' s visits to France and Belgium . According to my information , this charge against Mr . Steele is a rather ludicrous one . M Mr . Duffy , proprietor of the Notion , is specially charged with the publication of seditious articles , " Other parties are charged with being members of the Repeal Association , and with having been present when seditions speeches were spoken . Bat generally all the individual charges appear to be embodied in one of general conspiracy . "—Chronicle ^ Wednesday . " the teials .

      u As yon are aware , the recognizances entered into by Mr . O'Connell and the other parties , are returnable ob the first day of next term , the 2 nd of November , in the Queen ' s Bench , where the indictments are to be sent up . Ab twenty-one clear days cannot elapse before that day , there has been a very general opinion that Mr . O'Connell and the other gentlemen could avail themselves of the right to traverse in proa . I have made inquiry on this point , and I am inclined to believe there is some doubt as to the existence of such a right , if the parties were disposed to avail themselves of it , in consequence of the Aot 1 st Geo . IV ., which , I have heard , limits the right to trarerse in pro * to courts of oyer and terminer , and abolishes it as regards the Queen ' s Bench . w If this be the case , it is probable that the parties will be called upon to plead next term , and that the trials will be fixed during the sitting after term . "Chronicle . Monday .

      It may therefore be expected that the trials will take place in December .

This gentleman had communicated two proposition * to him , and told him that they would get very considerable accession of strength from the popular cause in England if they could reply satisfactorily to those propositions— ' ( heat ) . The document was to this effect : —

      ' Two things are indispensable to obtain the enlhttttafi *< r support of the 'whole population amongst the working classes in England—one is , that the new order of things in Ireland ( should a Repeal be obtained ) should be so well dettned as to show that all that Is inquired by you is that Ireland should have the control and management of her own local affairs ; while all that is of a national character , in which both countries are mutually interested , should be settled by the unltad represe ? : tattves of both countries . The other point Is that the people of England should be well assured ; that while they co-operate with Ireland for a Repeal , as above defined , Ireland shall heartily co-operate with England to secure afull , free , and fair representation of tba people / "

      " That gentleman and others had written to him this fact , that if he concurred , in the plan ; he would silence two of the great objections of their enemies : one was , that which he wanted—to avoid a dismemberment of the empire ; and that this mode of repealing the Union and giving a local Parllam nt to Ireland , could never be called a wparotion- ( loud cries of "hear , hear , bear . " ) The next objection was , that if Bepeal were carried , Catholic ascendancy would be established , and that the plan for a dependant Parliament would meet that objection ; for if it were carried there would be no possibility of any danger of such an ascendancy—( hear , hear ) . HB MET THESK SUGGESTIONS IN THE SPIRIT IN WHICII TUET WERE MADE AND DICTATED ; and he told them what had occurred in the Association already ; and tiiat iv the rEOPLE of England , oa BAXHEB A . SUFFICIENT PORTION OF THBK , CAIfE FORWARD , THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY

      IN ARRANGING THE REPEAL ON THOSE DEPENDANT TERMS ALLUDED TO —( h % a * , hear ) . It might be said that consenting to take a dependant Parliament was shrinking ,- but hk cared wor what tavnt was M ai > e cse of . It was no shrinking . Oa the contrary , it took away from their enemies every argument that they could use against them . HE repeated AGAIN , THAT THAT ASSOCIATION WERE pledged TO this . Tboy had the Right Rev Dr . Kennedy and many members of the Irish bar with them on ( hat distinct understanding—( hear , hear ) . He confessed he bad another motive—it teemed to him that there were some people disposed to irritate the people of Ireland into violence—( hear , hear ) . Look to the Tory press of Dublin for the last week—look , for instance , at the Evening Mail irritating the people ; be did net know what the Packet said , for he never read that paper—( a laugh ) . He had again to repeat to the

      people of Ireland that the Bepeal depended on their own tranquillity during this crisis . The government might give them an impartial jury —( if so , the question would take very ' little time—( hear , and loud cheeTS ) He did not accuse them ; but he remembered a period when the government of the day gave partial juries —( hear , hear ) . But in spite of every verdict they might get , the Repeal cause would accumulate and increase —( hear , hear ) . He was told yesterday tbat he would be prevented ftom addressing the Association that day ; he told the persons who said so that he bad no apprehension of the kind , because the Government themselves must know that he was , at least , an auxiliary of theirs in keeping the peace—( hear ) . He was there preaching peace , and advising the people against Blbboni&m and against violence —( hear , hear ) . The Honourable and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving " That the Chairman be requested to fill the chair at the opening of the Conciliation HalL "

      " Mr . Steele seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . " The rent for the week waB stated at £ 1 , 23213 s . 6 d . " The Times of Wednesday has a more extended Report of this " Base Compromise" meeting ; and from it we give the following additional "Cbmpromisr" speech : — " Mr . O'Connell said , be could not close the meeting without congratulating the country on the tone and temper which it had recently exhibited ; more particularly In the letterB read that day , which bound over the individuals signing them to the strict observance of peace . The Hon . Gentleman again repeated the erambe recorfa of order nnd submission , and eulogised the politeness of monstor meetings . He congratulated the chairman on having the honour to preside over such a highly civilised people ; and assured the world that as long as the Liffey , flowed , so long would the people of Ireland struggle lor Repeal—( cheers ) . He had spoken

      particularly of a federal Parliament , as ci means by which Repeal could be obtained , and also likely to conciliate both nations ; but it was Hot such a one as he HAD looked for—( heat ) . He hadlefore declared himself ready to accept a federal Parliament ; He would NOW BEPEAT , THAT HB HAD BEEN AI . WATS , AND WAS NOW , READT TO ENTER INTO ANY ARBANGEMENTS 4 WHICH WOULD GIVE IRELAND SUCH A PARLIAMENT . It bad been hinted to him that many parties in England would readily meet his views on thin point , If on the completion of Repeal their arrangements should be of a popular nature . He would tell them in England , that as soon as they formed a party strong enough to assist the Irish people , he would join them in obtaining fedeiralization—( cheers ) . He was ready to make a concesssion so as to find out a common point of unity . A federal Parliament would prevent absenteeism , would improve the tenure « f land , and be of other service ;

      bub m saying this , said the Hon . Gantleman , I do not lower my taneona atom—i relinquish no single right of the Irish people ; but I am ready to assist them in a manner most conducive to their harmonious obtainment—( tremendous cheering ) . He a ? ain called on the people not to be irritated by the taunts of their enemies , mere particularly the northern Catholics , who would be exposed to annoyance from the Orangemen , for theleast outbreak in any part of Ireland would make them abandon all hopes of ever obtaining what they were struggling for . This doctrine of peace was preached last Sunday by every priest iu Ireland from the altar , and would ba repented ne-xt Sunday—( cheers ) .

      MR . O'COKNELL'S ANSWER TO THE GOTERNMENT . B . EPEAL ASSOCIATION , MONDAY . ( From the Dublin Monitor of that day . ) " The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held at the Cent-Exchange to-day , Long before the hour appointed for meeting , the room was crowded to excess , and hundreds of persons were obliged to remain outside the building . " At a quarter to one o ' clock , on the notion of Mr . O'Neill Dau » t , " Johm A"C 8 Ustcs O'Neill , Esq ., of Bunowen Castle , ¦ was called to the chair smid load cheering . The Chairman said he was extremely obliged to them for the honour they had conferred on him by calling him to that choir ! that post was considered a post of some danger—it was , therefore , that he offered himself for it—( lend and enthusiastic cheering ) .

      " [ At this moment Mr . Macon , an Inspector of police , entered the roonO-¦* Mr . Daunt desired a seat to be given to the inspector , and every accommodation afforded to him . •« A Voice—A cheer for the Inspector —( cheering ) . " Mr , O'Connell then entered , and was received with the greatest enthusiasm . " Mr . O'Neill eoatihued—That chair bad been hitherto occupied , at least since the late exciting occurrences , by a son of Mr . O'Connell's , and by Mr . Daunt , and he thought it was time for Bomo other gentleman to share the responsibility with them—( loud cheering ) . It was the first time in his life he attended a political meeting of any description , unless , indeed ,

      they would so call the House of Commons , of which he had at one time the honour of being a member—( hear , hear ); but be considered that Repeal was the only hope of Ireland , and he resolved on taking a part In their proceedings— ( cheers ) . They Bhould receive , with dignified silence , the manifestation of her Majesty ' s Government that they thought O'Connell disaffected . Let the Government try the question before an impartial jury , iuid , with the assistance of God , he wonld be , if poEslble , purer than before—( hear , bsar , and loud cheers ) . They selected the Repealers of that whlc& they were incapable of , and they had not given them an opportunity of showing that they would bave obeyed the law —( hear , hear ) . He did hope that the day weuld

      never be Been in Ireland when it would requite five regiments and a bripade of artillery to enforce any lawful proclamation of the " representation of the Qaeen whom they venerated . The Question of Repeal had advanced to far , that it was impossible it could be sent back to its cradle or bullied into repose . They tried to dishearten them by saying that as the Liberator was growing old he wou id ^ become wearied , and the people would become tired ; but though he was advanced in age , his heart beat as warmly as in early life for bis native lanC—( cheers ) . And even when he bad passed to his grave , the spirit he bad called Into existence

      was immortal—hia name would be the watchword of freedom , and his grave the rallying place of the sons cf liberty—( loud cheering ) . Mr . O'Neill then went on to disclaim any desire of Catholic ascendancy , and called on his Protestant fellow-countrymen to disabuse their minds on th-t head—( hear , bear ) . In conclusion , he said he would blush before his child , if for 6 ne single Instant an emotion of fear by reason , of British bayonets had checked him in exercising his constitutional right—( cheers ) . He would go from that chair to a prison , and from a prison to a scaffold , sooner than admit be was deterred by British troops from any act he felt himself entitled to as a freeman—( loud cheers ) .

      "A respectably dressed man , whose name we could not catch , then ros « to address the chair . His observations were to the tffsct that he bad to hand in £ ld , which had been collected in Eve minuteB , when it was heard that O'Connell had been arrested . ( Here there was some conversation between persons ronnd the chair , and the speaker ' s voice was completely inaudible , but bis gestures were extremely violent ) ' " Mr . O'Connell ( perceiving this ) got up instantly , and called him to order—he should make no observations on matters extraneous—( hear , bear ) . If the gentleman was determined , as he trusted all Ireland was , to take bis advice , let the language now be as peaceable as their conduct shall be —( cheers ) .

      "The Chairman said , In justice to himself , as chairman , he felt it absolutely necessary to state tbat he was engaged in conversation , and had not heard one single word the gentleman had used , and he was obliged to the Liberator for having interfered ; for he < Mr . O'Neill ) would not hold the chair five minutes , if violent language were used —( hear ) . " Mr . O'Connell said , the fact was there was violence in the gentleman's manner , though be did nut say anything violent—( bear , hear );—and having interfered in an Irregular manner , he ( Mr . O'Connell ) thought it right to repress a man whom be taw losing bis temper —( hear , hear ) . There never was a moment in which good humour and good temper were so necessary—( loud cheering ) . " Mr . Ray read a letter from Limerick , remitting £ 120 ' proclamation * money —( great cheering ) .

      " Mr . Daffy banded in eever&l remittances , and immediately left the meeting , having , as he said , a particular engagement with Judge Burton at three o ' clock —( laughter ) . " The Bev . Mr . Tienwy btn . ei ia £ 18 pro » lamation money—{ cheers ? .

      HOW IS THE " COMPROMISE" RECEIVED BY THE GOVERNMENT PRESS AND THE REPEALEHSI The Correspondent of the Times , in that Journal of Wednesday , thua speaks of O'Connell ' s pitiable position ; and quotes an article from the Mail which ought to make O'Connell hang himself for very shame . ' What a trouncing he does get ! and how deservedly 11 His own cowardly , posiJanimous conduct will destroy him . Here ia the article from the Times' Correspondent . Let the concluding paragraph of it be particularly noted : —

      "A KEW PHASE IN THE AGITATION . "The rumour to which I alluded yesterday , respecting the probability of another blow being struck at the agitation , was \ efy generally believed up to thia foM noon ; and the impression was entertained that a pro olamation would have issued forbidding any further sittings of the ( so styled ) Loyal Repeal Association . Indeed , so confident were all ; parties of the truth of the report , that Mr . O'Connell himself and the Chairman at the meeting this day , made ! each a distinct reference to the matter . Whether such > proceeding oa the put of

      the Executive would bave been politic or impolitic , at the present juncture , now matters but little . Strictly speaking , Repeal is abandoned ; and Mn OConnetthas unblushingly forfeited his vantage ground , pitched his once formidable hobby to his , old friends—the winds of heaven ' , and iias < joietlt | shrunk dotvn from a WHOLE REPEALER , AND \ NOTHING ELSE , IJ- "TO A MEEE DRIVELLING FEDERALIST . ThiB Shameful abandonment of all former { pledges—the reckless disregard of protestations made to the contrary over and over again , with a solemnity amounting to profaneness , is thus handled by the Mail of this evening : —

      "' A very general impression was entertained that the Government would follow up their former blows by proclaiming the Loyal Repeal Association as illegal , and that the meeting advertised for this day would not be permitted to be held * Perhaps , as matters have turned out , it is better that they did not , although , after the Informations sworn and tne proceedings instituted , the step is one to which the Executive stands pledged , and which they must ultimately adopt . But by their forbearance this day Mr O'Connell has been driven to the open abandonment of the primary principles upon which his agitation for repeal rested'Ireland fer the Irish' and ' domestic Legislature '; and , ia his speech 0 * this afternoon , he has descended another peg in the political scale , and avows

      himself satisfied with a federal measure . The beaten slave 1 he whines like a whipped cur i A few quires of whltey-brown paper posted against the walls , not sufficient to supply wadding for the muskets of a battalion , brought him to his knees ; a few skins of parchment , lodged in the Crown-office—scarcely enough , if cut into slips , to furnish measures for Mr . Atkins ' s tailoring establishment—have prostrated him . to the earth 1 Repeal is'abandoned , ' as well ] as the Clontarf meeting . We have already anticipated this measure . elsewhere , with reference to the antedated address to the Irish people , in which the denvigogue , ready to strike the colours of Repeal , set about preparing his dupes by his bint at * local' legislation , j And what is the demagogue ' s pretence for these altered councils ? A communication , forsooth , from ) some popular English leader—a Chartist , doubtless , o » an Anti-Corn-Law

      Laaguer—that , provided be Will co-operate with the English Radicals to obtain Universal Suffrage and other popular rights , they will unite with him in seeking a federal Parliament for , Ireland . With this the great , the unconditional Repealer , professes himself contest ) and , Inasmuch as it , will convince the hated S 3 xons that he seeks no dismemberment of the empire , it is rather the better of the two . Bravo , Daniel ! you bave unbounded confidence in your own powers of delusion ; and , if you can carry ] it thus , entertain a very just estimate of your crednions and confiding countrymen ' s gullibility . Oae thing is plain , —that the bait thrown out for the ' base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , ' has been thrown out iu vain . There will be no renewal of tha LichSeid-bouse conspiracy . Feargus O'Connor's star is again in the asceudant ; and Chartism and Repeal , long disunited , will bu embodied in & federal s » nd confederate Union . '

      " The Pilot of this evening , although containing a report of the speech delivered'to-day , does not , of course , venture to hazard a single remaik either in support of , or dissent from , the new line ] of policy chalked » ut by the great political juggler . Indeed , it will be a matter of no small astonishment if ,: in the whole range of the Repeal press , there be found one solitary journal that may have tbe moral courage to even remonstrate against the duplieity that has been practised on a too confldlng people . " ] What follows is from the Thunderer himself . It behoves the Chartists to look well to it , particularly

      to the latter portion . There ] seems to be a sort of threat , that they may be included in the measures resorted to , to " put down ? Dan and the Repeal Movement . Does the Thunderer mean , tbat if Peel feels himself strong enough to meet the Parliament next month , for * ' tXTHAOHDiNABY powebs , " he mast apply them to England also , ] because Joseph Sturge has written to Daniel O'Connell , and told him that if he compromises Repeal , he will got the support of the English working people \ Is this what the Times means ! It looks something like it ! Here are bis words : — !

      " If it has been with reason objected to Lord Brougham tbat he marred the success of the advocate by the vehemence of tbe partisan , and infused into the temper of political debate all ! tbe personal asparity of tbe excited advocate , it may be as truly said of O'Connell ( but more to tbe credit of his intellectual than hia moral powers ) that he evincos at all times the wary adroitness of the most cautious counsellor . He has alt tbe resources of a veteran ' dodger' at command . He manifests an intuitive perception of the characters of those whom he addresses . He accommodates himself to their humours , and knows the prescribed tether of his vagaries . The proclamation of the Government wonld bave been s complete flwrer to some demagogues . Not so to him . He swallows it as jugglers at a fair do naked swords . It is part of hia trade to practise these feats of hazardous versatility . His followers look on , admire , applaud , and pay . What could the most dexterous conjuror desire more ?

      ' When his , meetings were unforbldden and unthreatened ; when it was as safe to talk of millions of fighting men as of pappy dogs and young kittens , tiien nothing short ef independence would please him . ' Ireland for the Irish' was declaimed at countless gatherings—• Ireland for the Irish' was re-echoed from Howth to Connemara , not without an Interpretation , too , of stern import which tho Irish peasant had learned from the traditionary legends of many ) years . As for federal unions—pish ! base was the slave who mooted them . But now—how changed tbe note 1 how different the attitude' i

      Sweet are the uses ef adversity . They teach a man , at least , to appreciate the advice which he has before scouted , and to suggest what be has hitherto contemned . Now ; a federal union is discovered to be , if not a good substitute for , at least a very admirable introduction % o \ an Independent Legislature . Now he has no objection to give it a trial : — Indeed , be thinks that a domestic Parliament might ba very well adapted for the management of local mattere : and if it were found to answer all the purposes of its authors , he for one would be contented with It I " And what , it may be asked , ! has wrought this suddeD revolution in the Liberator ' s opinions ? Is it the proclamation ? or the fresh arrival of troops ? or fear of further strong measures ? Doubtless , all these bave exercised considerable influence jon the minds both of himself and his followers , as wai perceptible in tbe tone and temper of the proceedings on Monday ; but there was also another reason which operated to produce this

      change . He has had the offer ot assistance from England in bis straggle for a Federal union . And who , it will be asked , —who is the great ; English ally that is to co-operate with the Repealers for the attainment of an object which many Ripealers have stigmatized as a weak and half-way measure ? Why , no less a personage than Mr . Joseph Sturge , with 1 , 000 ^ 009 Universal Suffrage Chartists ! The' Saxon is no longer to be denouncedfor this would be deemed rather personal to the new Chartist slUes * although Mr . O'Connell has at length declared that tbe use of this term was intended rattier as a compliment to tbe English nation than as an affront —Birmingham is to be propitiated—and the oft reviled and scouted Chartists are : to be greeted with the wannest and most cordial Welcomes ! Repeal and Universal Suffrage are to kiss one another ; Romanism and Qoakery an to lie down together ; Joseph Sturge is to embrace Thomas Steele ; j O'Connell is to bug O'Connor in bis arms once more ; and Ireland is to be regenerated and federalizedij "Such ia tbe plan for the present—a plan which tbe least whiff of drcumstanwsniay puff into the wild

      HOLDING ON OP GOVEBNMENT BY TH 8 FRBSS . Having now given the facts connected with this " second step" on the part of the Government to repress and suppress the Repeal agitation , as far as they have yet transpired , we shall next give some of the commentaries and prepare-the-publio-mind an . nouncements of the press . This course is necessary to enable the reader to understand the real relative position of all parfcieB , Government , Repealers , and Anti-Repealers , towards each other . The course of conduct to be pursued by all , is first . Shadowed forth ia those portions of the Press over whion they have influence or controul . Wo shall first give a malignant , gloating article from the Evening Mail . It appeared the day before the arrest ; and was in fact to prepare the way for them . It is important now , because it revealB the " other measures" that Government have adopted , " precisely as if we were on the eve of a Rebellion . " The ferocious Mail says : —

      " Thank God , the authorities are acting with energy , zeal , and firmness , precisely as if we were on the eve of a rebellion—and that is exactly the way to prevent it This , wo repeat , Is theonly way left to preventa rebellion ; anil so folly assured are we of the wisdom , the prudence , and tbe vigour by wbicb the councils at the Castle are at present conducted , that we waive al objections against former negligence , and devote ourselves—aa it ia clearly ear duty to do—to supporting and sustaining the Executive in Its present determinations as to future proceedings . "But what is to be done ? The usual winding up to reports -of preliminary Bteps for tbe detection of

      crime , as they appear from time to time in the public journals , shall furnish our answer : — < At this state of tbe proceedings it would be manifestly Improper , and might be subversive of the ends , of jastice , to enter more fully into details . ' Just so ; but of this our readers may rest assured—tbe axe is about toinglald at the very root of the sedition ; an * those who have so long bearded the authorities and outraged the laws Will be made amenable to both . It is quit % posBible that the next number of this journal may contain Intelligence calculated to cheer the loyal , to give confidence to the timid , and to make the guilty tremble ; but , at all events , a few , a very tew , days will alter the aspect of affairs .

      " Are we to bave a civil war ? Heaven forbid ; but , after all the organization and the drilling—after all the tbteateniugs and demonstrations of the rebels—it were just as well that the Queen should bo prepared for Bucb an emergency—and she is . " The Freeman ' s Journal of yesterday says : — "' In the Packet of Tuesday last we find a paragraph boastfully referring to the troops now forming the English Garrison in this country . They amount to 28 , 000 men of all arms , according to our contemporary . And thin force , expensive in the extreme to England , crippling her power , should she find her military resources

      necessary to be wielded upon any point of ber posses eienu for aggression or defence , appears te be relied upon as decisive of tho question at issue between her and this country ! What exceeding absurdity ! 14 , 000 of those troops , at least , would be requisite to garrison the towns ' , and that would just leave 14 , 000 to eat up tbe millions of Irishmen who advocate self-government ! Why can't those men see how ridiculous they make themselves ? An army of that amount In Ireland would be worn oat with marching in three months !' " Tftia is the battle of oar Adversaries—this the hope of our opponents ; and it is clear from tbe context that the Repealers are looking to the consequences .

      ' < Now , we beg to whisper in tbe ear of oar contemporary , . that since his declaration was penned , three regiments bave arrived in Dublin—the 3 * tb , 24 th , and C 5 th ; and that the 67 th and 70 th are on their way ; three regiments of horse , axe also under orders—the Royals , Scots Qteyn , and Carbineers , and will arriva directly . Houses are being rented , and accommodation preparing fur temporary barracks , and every arrangement making that prudence can suggest , or determination put in practice , as though we were ' on tho eve o f a rebellion ; ' and negotiations are perfected by which all the housebould troops { the Guards ) cavalry and infantry , can be transferred from ' London to Dublin in four-and-twenty hours .

      " W © have another piece ef intelligence , of which we have no reason to doubt the tenth , and at which out contemporary will doubtless feel shocked for the sake of the Constitution ; and that is , that there are aOjOaft . Hanoverian ttoops—as fine soldlera as any jn the warid—placed by the Queen ' s uncle at her Majesty'a disposal ,. If necessary , to defend her empire from the hands of traitors ; and that the offer bos been conditionally accepted . These troops , all PiotesiantB , are ready for embarkation at a few hours" notice ; and la four -days , with the aid of Urst-olass steamers , they could be landed on our shores , at whatever point their services might be deemed necessary . ' But , ' says out considerate contemporary , « tho army would be worn out with marching in three months . ' This , we had previously beard , was one of the

      points upon whkh Mr . O'Connell relied ; and we beard this long before its appearance in the Freeman ' s Jowmal But even this has been cared for . We confess w § should greatly prefer seeing the Government throwing itself at once upon the generous feeling and loyal sympathy of the Protestant yeomanry , and boldly embody them as the surest and most constitutional means of meeting the emergency in which we are placed ; but , as a precautionary , peihapj only preliminary measure , we by no means ebject , but , on tha contrary , highly approve of a project which we understand is in contemplation—t&at of enrolling loyal citizens for local duty , in all large cities and townstbe enrolment to be voluntary , and the members to consist only of such persons as are known to fee opposed to the Repeal of the Union .
