      O'Connell ) . Mr . O'Neil then entered at much length into a defenee of himself and the speech he delivered lass Monda y , which he complained had been too briefly reported in * ome journals , and too violently attacked in the Evening Mail , the editor of -which he called upon to eay whether he believed that he ( John Augustus O'Neill ) would op would boi be guilty of seising himself for a corrupt purpose to the association—( hear , hear ) . The principle ^ passages of his Bpeech , the omission of -which he complained of were , " That no earthly consideration would induce him to embark in the Repeal movement , if he for one moment ibongbt that it wonid be iDJarious to any man upon account of his religion " - - ( bear , iear ) , —and that " every Repealer would

      Rapport the Protestant succession as by law establish ed "—( cheer ?) . That day week he endeavoured to establish a kindly feeling between all parties ; but he was abused for doing so , and ¦ even accused of sedition . If he had been guilty of sedition , it was not for theAfatZ , but her M&jeaty ' s AttoTney-Getferal , to ^ ccuse him ef it . Through a spirit of conciliation he reqriested the Liberator to abandon the use of the word " Saxon , " because it was offensive to England . The request was eranted , bnt what was his ( Mr . O'Neiirs ) xeward J Why , he was called a " dog , " that being the best name which a writer in tbe Mail could find for an Irish patriot . { Groans . ) Kay more , —he was called by that writer ** a corrupt dog , " who sold himself to the Repeal Association for a stipend —( groans ) . He could only sav , that if he had sacrificed his fortune seeking for

      universal liberty , as his friend Ihe Liberator had done , he should not be as-bamed to become a pensioner npon public gratitude—( cheers ) . Referring to the presence of military at the GoDtarf meeting , Mr . O'Eeill remarked , that Ireland was not to be intimidated by soldiers . No . —and let the press note his words—for although 28 , 000 men were sufficient to punish the rebels of Ireland , 100 , 000 would not be sufficient to pnt down tho cry for repeal—( great applause . ) Their Protestant fellow-countrymen were only estranged from the movt ment because they got it into their heads that it was a subject connected with religion . If it were he would cut off his right hand before he would consent to be a member of the association ; bnt he could answer for it , that repeal would bent fis men of all religions and parties—( hear , hear ) . ' He wonid have no connexion wjth a party which wonid act oppressively towards Protestants .

      Me . O'CojrsKii . —We never did , and we never w& ]—( cheers ) . Mb . O'Neill then largely quoted from the speeches of Fox , to sho * that the straggle of a nation for selfgovernment , although laborious , was seldom ineffectual , referred to the conduct of Wellington and Peel on the question of Catholic emancipation , to Bhow that he , like other men , might chango his political opinions withont sacrifice of principle , vindicated the prerent agitation from having Injured the tradesmen of . Dublin by preventing tbe visit of the Queen , explained the meaning of a federal Parliament , and ce > cribed the maancr in which the Belgian revolutidn had been ifFcC . ed . M Belgium , " he said , had succeeded accidentally by foreign intervention—but

      Ireland would depend upon Irishmen and on God "—( cheers ) . If it should be the pleasure of a rash minister , forgetfnl of the law of God and man—and such a forgctfnlaess he by no means attributed to the Dake of Wellington , who always during his campaigns was most careful of human life—bat if , for a moment , he should think of steeping in the blood of Irishmen the laurels which Ireland ' s sons cad placed on his brow , there still remained for them an interposing power between him and the nation—ibey could look to tbe Q , aecn . Should the Duke resolve to aet as he bad described , of which from his soul he - acquitted him , one might imagine the Queen , in the words of Shak ? peare , exclaiming to him—** Beware , take heed how yon awake tbe slumbering sword of war ; I charge you , in 'he name of God , take heed I " His opinion was , that if repeal was held back too long it would create national bankruptcy , while if at once

      eonceded . it would be productive of peace , prosperity , & . indissoluble connexion with England : but if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in His anger withdrew His protection from the empire , the same Gazette which proclaimed tbe victory of England over her twin RBter , woa'd annouuee that one nation was depopulated and tho oiher tottering on the brink of ruin . ( Hear . ) He cantiooe-i them against committing any acts of violence which should lay tiie ruin at their do * rs . Dearer interests than their own were involved in the present movement . Their children's interest were invelved in the success of the repeal . Let them not peril the prosperity of their offspring by rashness and their own souls by committing wrong—( hear)—and , with the blessing of God , the sun of Irish prosperity , which was already above tbe horizon , would soou illuminate the temple they had raised to national independence and imperial concord . —( Loud cheers' ) . :

      Mr . O'CoKSEtL then rose and said , —The first sentence I with to utter in the Coacilliation-hall is this truth , —iba » there is only one way of obtaining a Repeal of tbe Union , and that is , by rising none but peaceable and legal me ^ cs— . ( hear ) . My second sentence is , that tbe Repeal is certa n —( loud and longcontinued cheering , waving of hats , handkerehiefs , &c ) . Yes , Repeal is certain , provided you use no other than peaceable and legal means—( cries of ** we won ' t ") . My excellent friend the chairman , through motives of the purest allegiance , has warned tho Government against nring force against the peop .-e . I warn the people against giving the Government the 1 'ast pretence for using it . Let not

      a single acs of "violence be committed in town or country by any portion of the people . If violence be attempted by injbody eke , the party unjustly attacked , i-hall be defended and protected by the strong arm of legal vengeaoee—( loud cries of hear , hear , and cheering ) . I promised the master butchers , as they gave me the largest sum , that I wonid hand in their money first . I therefore beg leave to band from them £ 160 —( hear , hear ) . I am now about to make a motion of the utmost importance to the liberty of Ireland . I shall not say one word in support of it . It is , " That W . S . O ' Brien , Esq . M . P . for the county of Limerick , be admitted a member of the Association—( enthusiastic cheering ) .

      Mr . O'Coxkkll then read the letter in which Mr . O'Brien assigned his reasons for joining tbe association ; and having concluded it , said , that Mi . O'Brien had been an anti-Repealer , but events had shown him that there was nothing but Repesl for Ireland . He was honest as an ami-Repealer—O I be was honesi and brave now that he was a Repealer—{© beers . ) Referring to the distinction which had been made between a federal and an independent Legislature , Mr . O'Connell declared that it was an independent Legislature he was looking for—( hear , hear . ) He di J not mean a Legislature independent of England or the Brit-sh Crown , bnt dependent on , and united to , England by the golden link of the Crown . To the continuance of the connection between the two countries hewa 3 firmly attached , provided it were continued on fair terna ; one of which , he insisted , should be tho revival of that Parliament of which Ireland had been deprived by the

      foulest means . This language might be held to be inconsistent with what he said on the support of a federal Parliament last Monday . To prove that it was not , the Hon . Gentleman said , he had since declined an overture of support on tbe part of the Whigs , if he consented to limit his demand to a federal Parliament ; aid that , in reply to the offer of support from England , he merely said that he wonid give every guarantee that separation was not his object . He also referred to the admission of Dr . Kennedy , Catholic Bishop of Killaloe , and the offer to admit Mr . 5 . Crawford ( both federalists ) as a memof the Association , to show that previous to the pro-Sf cutions he was a 3 ready as now to unite with the men who did not go a 3 far a 3 himself . He would not reject the assistance of any man who would go any part whatever of the way with him . He would be glad of the assistance of every man who was for Repealing the Act of Union ; as alter that he would obtain the best Parliament he

      could for Ireland—( bear , hear ) . He owed it to himself and the Association to pat themselves in tho riehtbefore the country , and to show that , although they had every disposition : o conciliate , they fead no disposition to compromise— ( cheers ) . From the occurrences of the last fortnight , be hoped that the Government and British statesmen generally had derived a useful lesson . He hoped they were now convinced that they never would have a rebellion in Ireland again—that there never would again be an attack on the part of the people —( cheers ) . If the Government chose to continue the present contest , ibere was sufficient determination amongst the people to continue i ; also , rather than resort to violence . The Hon . Gentlvinan then moved , that the thanks and gratitude of the Irish people be offered to Mr . W . S . O'Brien—that his letter be printed by

      the Association , and a copy of it transmitted to every member of both Houses of Parliament , and that it be placarded through the cities and towns of England , in order that the people of England might begin to know the real state of the question . Their thanks and gratitude were the more partielarly due to Mr . O * Bnen on account of the period at which he chose to come amongst them—a period when they were under prosecution by the Government , who had the sword uplifted at one side and the lawyer ' s tongue or pen on the other . Agreedto . Amongst an immense number of sums of money kere handed in , were £ 107 from the Post-office ? S i \^ L ° f ye 8 terd » J ' 8 meeting ) , £ 159 from .

      bat what was the oonduot of the Whiga towards them m thfeinet ^ noe | The organ of the Whigs , the Morning tftrr ^ tcfe , published Mr . Trevelyan ' s two lettersimme diately after the issuing of the proclamation . T . be man himself admitted that ; he came over here , vrith the grossest prejudices ; and the people on hjs arrival laughed at him in consequence , and to jd him the most ridiculous stories , which he nevevthelesa believed—such as the people were to take Dnblin Castle with dnng-forks—( laughter ) --ar ^ d that "G P O " on the milestones meant God ¦ preserve O'Gonnell—( Great laughter ) . He ( Mr . OTJonnell ) believedihat he was the man who cironlated the ridiculous story of the duel between Mr . Croker and Mr . Creagh , of Cork . He was going

      about Mallow , making enquiries regarding everything , when two friends got up a conversation in hia presenee . by which be was led to believe Mr . Croker had been wounded in a duel with Mr . Creagb , caused by a difference regarding him ( Mr . O'Connell ) : Off he posted at onoe to Cork and put it in the newspapers , and the gentlemen whose names were mentioned had the trouble of publishing contradictions —(" hear , '' and laughter ) . He complained also , that tbe writer of these letters had tbe audacity to assert that the rebellion of t& was a Popish rebellion ; when , it was well known , that in Us origin the leading men were . -Presbyteti&nB ttttd Protestants —( hear , hear ) . There were two battles fought in the north , Baliynahmcti and Antrim , before the

      Society of United Irishmen , was forced on other parts of the conntrr . It was a shame for an Englishman , and an efficer of the Treasury , to falsify history in that manner . He concluded by giving notice ot two resolutions , the first relating to the preparation of petitions from every parish in the kingdom , and the other proposing that a conciliatory address to their Protestant and Presbyterian fellow-countrymen be forthwith prepared and issued . For his own part , he solemnly assured them , that he would not take repeal if it gave Catholic ascendancy—( bear , hear . ) Mr . Nugent , R . A . ( which means not Royal Academician , bnt Repeal Arbitrator ) , on handing in some money from iingstown , said that the people were determined to follow O'ConnelPs advice , but at

      same were wo compromise . He for one never would—( loud and continued cheering ) . Mr . O'Connell rose and make some remarks upon the great confusion which existed in the assembly and the frtquent disturbancess created by disorderly persons passing out of their places . He said he would conclude ss be had begun . The repeal bad hade

      A PBOGRESS WHICH JlCTTJALLV STAHTLED HIMSELF—( loud cheering ) . He called npon the people then not to check that progress by violence , although many things would no doubt . occur to provoke them to it —( cheers ) . The Hdn . Gentleman alluded to a person singing u a most bigoted and improper ballad " in the streets a few nights ago , who would not desist from doing so till handed over to the police ; and insinuated , as tho ballad was better printed than MMial , that it might bo some person sent by their enemies to create disturbance among the people . He hoped Mr . Anderson , the printer , knew the name of the person who sent the ballad to him —( cheers ) . Let the people look out for Paddy M'K

      certain —( loud cheers ) . He feared no outbreak now . Let them do their duty , and he would do his . After some further observations , the Hon . Gentleman announced that the Repeal rent for the week was « £ 2284—( cheering which lasted for some minutes . ) He then moved that the association should adjourn till one o ' clock to-morrow , for the purpose of bringing forward the two motions of which he had given notice ; ? be first being for the formation of weekly reports connected with Repeal , and to shape an address to her Majesty to remove her present blundering Administration ; the other , to have petitions from all the parishes of Ireland , each petition with not more than 1000 names , signed separately , prepared to transmit to England , and to have simultaneous meetings of all tho parishes for that purpose . He had no doubt 5 , 000 , 000 persons would sign them . ( Cheers . ) : Tbe meeting adjourned at six o ' clock till to-morrow

      Lord Cardigan and the Press . —We understand that Lord Cardigan has instructed his law agents to move for a conditional order for a orimical information against the Time * , for the publication of certain extracts from letters , tinder the heading of " Lord Cardigan and his Officers / ' purporting to have been received from a Dublin correspondent . His Lordship has also commenced proceedings against the Freeman ' s Jovrnai , for the publication of an anonymous letter reflecting on his character as an officer and a gentleman .

As he was doing this , the wheel set on accidentally , the cog and' the roller beam catched hia head , and produced instant death . —On Monday , the 23 iiust ., as John Metcalf , a mason , was making repairs about Boms machinery on the print works of James Thomson and Sons , of Primrose , his leather apron came in contact with a shaft , Which in its evolutions , dragged him through a space of twelve inches , and bruised and lacerated hia head , and various * parts of his body in a shocking and dreadful manner .

We are requested to set the pub * Iio right on a remark we made last week , that the the masters had not conceded to the men ' s demands . " The present contest is not one of & demand on the part of the men , but a resistance to an uncalled for reduction of from twenty-three to seventy-fire per cent . They get tolerably well supported , considering that nearly all the other trades in the town are on strike . The table blade forgers continue out , and a many trades' dependent on them have been forced out . The spring knife cutlery , and the pen knife blade forgers have been added to the list j Sheffield in consequence ia in a very distressed state .

      Murder of ajj Infant by its Father . —Laa night , between ten and eleven o ' clook , the inhabitants of Tooley-streec , were thrown into a painfu * state of excitement , in consequence ef a man Lamed » Edward Dwyer , a hawker of paper , making a most desperate attempt to murder his infant daughter , agod three months . It appears that the inhuman father , who is o , ie of the most desperate characters in the borough of Southwark , was at the above time , drinking in . front of the bar of the Old King ' s Head public-house , Green-bank , Tooley-street , when his wife , who had been thrown into the greatest distress from the dissolute conduct of her husband , applied to Wm for some temporary relief , when he instantly seizsd the child , and dashed it

      to the ground with fe&rful violence , and attacked his wife in the most outrageous manner , threatening to serve any individual that interfered in the same way . Mr . Godfrey Horst , the landlord ,. instantly called in the aid of the police , when an officer took hold of him , and a violent scuffle ensued , which lasted several minutes , when an alarm was raised in the neighbourhood , which brought in a strong body of constables , who with the greatest difficulty secured him ,, and conveyed him to the station-house in the Southwark-bridge-road , followed by several hundred persons . The poor child wa 3 conveyed in a

      helpless state to Guy ' s Hospital , where every attention was paid to it by the resident surgeon . The mother , who was covered with violent contusions , remained in the hospital by the side of her infant in a most desponding state of grief . The policeman , who first attempted to take the father into custody , was compelled to proceed home , from an injury in the groin , arising from a kick which he received in the scuffle . The child , our informant states , expired during the night . — -The Suns . Wednesday . — [ A verdict of wilful murder has beep returned against the brutal father , and he has been committed to prison for trial on that charge . ]

      resist any advance , and toe Manufacturers of Fancy Goods find their position exceedingly annoying , not being able to know what kind of goods to make , and the loss on their manufacture by selling at present prices is very discouraging . In Plain Goods , such as Orleans , Paramattas , Merinos , the demand continues tolerably fair ; and as there is no change of style in those Goods , there is Ics 3 chance loss-than in Fancy Goods .

      Frankfort . —Meae " hostile Tariffs ' "—It has now been officially confirmed that the Zollverein Congress of Berlin has adopted the measure of fixing an entrance duty on raw iron from England , to the amount of fifteen silver groshen ( aboot 18 d . ) per owt . Jhe circumstance that this measure was agreed to by a great majority of the members of the Congress , in opposition to the Prussian Government , has likewise obtained a full confirmation . The settlement of the dnty on this important object of commerce between England and Germany , deserves in itself full attention ; but this measure derives a still greater importance from this circumstance , that it must be considered as ( he forerunner of a number of alterations

      in the tariff of the Zallverein , all of them calculated to render more difficult the \ importation and the sale of English , produce and manufacture in Germany , aud thus to assist German industry in competition with the English . It ia evident now that the majority of the Z > IIverein members have emancipated themselves from the domineering influence of Prussia . It is evident that the imprecations of the school of Lint , and the system of protecting duties , are prevailing in the Council of ( the German Zollverein . The next measure is to be directed against the English manufactures of cotton yarn and of cotton weaving in its different stages of perfection . But the wisdom of the protectors of German industry will not atop here .

      Apprehension of a Parricide . —Our readers may remember that in the month of July last a horrible murder was committed at the village of Mount Tabor , near Halifax , Yorkshire . The victim was a man named John Dobson , a weaver , who was shot dead in bis own house on the 4 th of that month by his own son , Joseph Dobson . The latter and bis wife had gone about a week before the lamentable occurrence to live with the father ; and during the week some quarrel took place between the son and his father , and the former , on the abovementioned day ! went about a mild from Mount Tabor , and took a > Igun out of the house of a man whom he knew , but who was not at home , and having purchased some powder and shot ,

      returned home , and deliberately shot his father in the presence of his wife and two or three children . On first presenting the gunjit missed fire , but being determined to wreak his vengeance on hi 3 unoffending parent , he put another cap on the weapon , and before the poor man had time to get out of the bouse , he was shot through the heart , aud he dropped dead on the spot . The perpetrator of this horrid deed of blood immediately made his escapeand though great search was made for him , no traces could be discovered as to where he had gone . A coroner ' s jury sat on the body of the murdered man , and after a full invstigation of the circumstances , th « jury unanimously returned a verdict of 11 Wilful Murder against Joseph Dobson . " A

      GoVernment reward of £ 100 was offered for the apprehension of the parricide , but he contrived to elude the officers of justice until Friday iast , whenhe was apprehended by a working man * named Speight , at Huddersfield . in the neighbourhood of which towa he has been working for a few weeks as a weaver . He had cut his whiskers off ^ so as to prevent identification , and when apprehended denied that his name was Joseph Dobson ; but on being given into the hands of Mr . Jonathan Leach , chief contable , he acknowledged that he was the man , and instead of feeling ] compunction for the crime with which he is charged , he gave utteraace to expressions of j pleasure that he had taken his father ' s life . On j Saturday be was committed on the coroner ' s warrant to York for trial at the next assizes for that county .
