      As scon as this counter proclamation -was printed , it was posted all through the city , distributed In the shap « of handbills , and sent to all the Catholic clergy of the surrounding districts . __ Meantime the greatest excitement prevailed In the city , and the avenues leading to the Corn Exchange ~ ver& thronged by thousands ef people , anxious to know what was coming Tiext . AHB 1 VA 1 OF A THOrSAUD IBISHMEU FROM EKGLAKD . To increase the excitement , about one tbonsand Irish Bapealers . resident in Liverpool , Manchester , &c-, had chartered one of the City of Dublin steamers , and arrived in town about ten o ' clock , to attend the Clontarf Meeting . They -were an exceedingly -well-dressed and comfortably-looking body of men .

      In order to allay the excitement , Mr . 0 Connell , after issning His Proclamation , and ta&Bj : measures to have it as expensively distributed and circulated as the time would permit , considered it advisable to hold

      an—BXTBAOBDINAKT MEETIXG of the Repeal Association , and at nearly Four o ' clock he entered the Large Room of the Corn Exchange , ¦ whi ch was crowded to excess in every part The Son . and Learned Gkntlfman , on making his appearance , was received with the most enthusiastic cheering which lasted for several minutes , and on his taking the « hair , the cheering was renewed . Order at length having been restored , Mr . Cf Cokkell rose amid the most intense silence , and said , the reason be came there to take the chair that day , was in compliment to his Liverpool and Manchester Mends , - » h « had kindly come over 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 conseqnence . They were not , perhaps , aware that the Government bad iBsued a proclamation ; and although it was , he declared , illegal , ba thonght it better not to allow them to have a triumph over the people , but to put them in the wrong , and put off the meeting , rather than have 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 at the meeting , could net in the ordinary course , have heard of It ; but he had resolved to issue s counter-notice , caliiog on the people not to assemble there to-morrow , though he did not allow that Government document to be at all legal . Let them not think that it would interfere with the progress

      of tbe Repeal agitation—( cheers ) . Bat If they held the meeting to-morrow , disturbance might ensue , asd his business was to keep the people safe—( hear , hear , hear , and cheers ) . He had , therefore , thought it right to get & notice printed , cautioning the people in the country parts from coming into town —( hear ) . He would send down the notice by that night ' s post to Tara , Kslis , Navan , sad all olher towns and villages , whose multitudes would have poured in , and to every Catholie clergyman in that part of tbe conntry , cautioning them against holding the meeting . There would , therefore , he no meeting ; and if any one were speculating on the blood of the people , tbby would be disappointed—{ hear , hear , and loud cheering ) . He thonght the conduct of the Government very strange . This was to kave been almost the last of their meetinsB . 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 day , when , bnt for Ms activity , the rotices fee thought it right to issue could not reach the people —( hear , hear ) . However , he looked on the proclamation as an accommodation ; for there was not evsn another meeting advertised . He might have held one or two on his way to Derrynane , bnt no dsy for any of them -was fixefi—ihtsr , hear ) . He thought it his duty to give this intimation for the sake of his friends from Manchester xnd Liverpool ; and he could assure them that the Repeal cause , so far from being tarnished by this arbitrary act , shonld receive an additional stizDD . ' ns , and every one should be esconraged thereby to ativocaU the Repeal of the TJnion —( cheers ) . The usual weekly meeting -wcnld be held en Monday , and the dinner would take place on Monday evening . Mr . O Connell then left tho ebair amid the acclamations o ! the meeting , and the people immediately dispersed quietly . Saturday , six o'clock , p . m .

      UILJTAET P : re ? a _ RaT 10 NS . —The commander of the Fcrces Jssutd rdera this day to havs all the men confired to barracks . Accordingly , at ths Royal Barracks , Rchmond Barracks , Island-Bridge , aud Beggars-Bush , all the guards were doubled , and the men kept in readiness to fall in at & moment ' s notice . Dublin Castle . —At Cutle the guards were not only dvtiblpd , but two extta companies of foot and a f qnadron of dragoons were quartered in some of the efflce buildings . PiGEO ?« -HorsE Foet . —Orders having been issued in the course of the day , this Fort was placed in a . * fc ; te cf seise . The guns already mounted were made ready for instant action , and others were run ont so as to commaEd tbe Clontarf shore ! IIOEE Tboops . —Two battalions of tbe Guards , it is said , are momentarily txpected . The Rhadamanthus is also expected in Kingstown this evening , with troops sntf amunition .

      Tbr 54- -h Regiment , at present in this city , under ordtrs for Athlone , will remain here , the orders having been couriteimanded . The 3-stb , from Scotland , is under ordera for I > ablin , and is expected to arrive this evening , or tomorrow . The toTn is full of rumours respecting tbe military preparations and precautions on the part of tbe authorities , to guard against an insurrectionary movement . State Pxosecctioss—It is confidently stated , tkat Mr . O CunnelJ is to he prosecuted for sedition—the seditions language having been spoken at the Mullngbmast meeting and dinner , where there were reporter * present on the part of the Government . There are other prosecutions spokrn of , to which we shall not mere particularly allude at present .

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

      in divisions . They wore not the shako , feut their service caps , and each man had sixty rounds of ammunition . As we advanced towards the Sheds of Clontarf we found one brigade of the Royal Horse Artillery , with two six-poondera limbered , and ready in all respects for instant action . Farther on , the 11 th ( Prince Albert ' s ) Hussars were stationed—the roes were dismounted , and in tbe same position as the £ th Dragoon Guards . Pdising through the Sheda of Clontarf , we found the 54 th Regiment of Foot drawn up in line—standing-at ease , with their arms piled before them . The men looked fatigued . On ascending to " Conquer Hill , " where tha intended meeting was to have been held , we found it entirely deserted . There were no troops there , nor were there any people in its vicinity .

      Along the eDtire line we have described—nearly four nines—tho people Were passing and re-passing in hundreds . There was no possibility of & crowd collecting at any one spot , as the people were coDnned to tbe road , which is bounded by the Strand on one sida , and tbe fields , the property of Mr . Yernon , on the other , into which access was denied , Mr . Vernon being on tbe spot to prevent trespass . There was no manifestation of publio feeling whatever . The vast 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 the line to have conducted themselves in a more orderly and peaceable manner . The troops on the ground also behaved well , and presented no obstacle to the people passing and repassing . FOPR O'CLOCK , P . M .

      The troops still remain on the ground , guarding tbe entire line , as above described . The guard at Aldborough Houbo still remains stationary . The crowd of pesple along the line is undlminiehMbut not the slightest manifestation of feeling has taken place . " MONSTER" DINNER AT THE ROTUNDA . To-morrow evening tbe firBt " Manster Dinner" w to take place at the Rotunda , every available room 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 ticket * have been made bo low as Sa . 6 d ., to admit the people at large . Half . past Five o'Clock . TVearejnst going to press Nothing has occurred in addition to what has been communicated . . The troops are still on the ground , but no disturbance of any kind has taken place .

      Fall of the Funds . —Although the Stock Exchange had nearly closed when the Government Proclamation was issued , the funds declined—Three per Cent . Consols 94 toS 3 | h ; Thiee-and-a-Half per Cent . Stock from 10 i | to lOOjf . Oa these events tha Monitor has the following remarks : — The Repeal agitators are quite rejoiced at the most unlooked-for aid they have received from the Government . Their cause was growing somewhat desperatethey did not txactly know well what move next to take—the monster gatherings had well nigh run

      outthe " Convention" could not with safety be assembled —the people , who were instructed in glowing imagery to look upun Repeal as un fait accompli , were beginning to find themselves as far from the realization of their hopes as ever—in short , the " Repeal Year " , which opened with glorious promise , was about tt > close with lank performance—the bubble was on the eve of bursting—when , lo 1 in steps her Majesty ' s astute advisers to the aid of the ' agitation ; and what would have etherwise been " the winter of their discontent" , is now " made glorious summer " , and all is full of hope , and bustle , and excitement once more .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . The Times' correspondent in tbe Times of TueBday . sayf : So tariy as nine o ' clock on Sunday morning persons began to assemb ' . e opposite the Corn Exchange-rooms , partly with a view to learn what tbe Committee of Management were doing , and partly 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 rent the air announced abont two o ' clock

      that the " Liberator" was coming ; but , although the people by this time txtended in one dense mass from the Corn Exchange to Carlisle Bridge , and although the rooms of the Association wero crowded with members and associates who had forced their way to them , despite of a previous announcement that there would ba no meeting , the Hon . and Learned Gentleman declined to address them , remained but fur a short time in one of the committee-roams , and took his departure anridbt the same vociferous cheering which hailed his arrival .

      Prosecution of Mr . O'Connell . —The same writer says : —J understand tkat reports of seine oj Mr . 0 Corniells speeches are under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown , in mmtemplation of a prosecu tion .

      held to-day ? We cannot , therefore , attach much credit to this rumour . It is also positively stated Mr . O'Connell is to be prosecuted . One party will have it that he is to be arrested . It is needless for us to « ay tbat 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 spoken of , and seveial individuals have been nanud to us ; but we do not think it prudent to descend to particulars at present

      STATE OF THE CITY TO-DAY . If anything , / the city is in a greater state of excitement to-day than on the two previous days . A gentleman familiar with the scenes of ' 93 and 1803 mentioned to us tbat he does not remember anything approaching to the state of excitement at all in this teity eince the latter period . Among the respectable merchants tbe excitement is fully as great as among the ptpulace . The principal topic of conversation in tha Commercial Buildings is the proceedings of Government and th « events to which they are likely to lead . How all this coercion aud foolish military display will terminate is tbe anxious topio of speculation among all clasaea . The troopB 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 Sackville-street , Great Britainstreet , and : North Frederick-street , attracted by the montter dinner at the Rotunda , at which Mr . O'Connell presides . The doors were opened at half-past four o ' clock , when the rush to gain admittance was very great .

      rOLlCY OF TIIE GOVERNMENT PROCEEDINGS We iiave not time nor space Co-day to enter fully into this subject . We have given , with great amplitude and exactness , the occurrences of tbe three last eventful days ; mid really the Government ought to be proud of their vast achievements . Their proceedings altogether have displayed a ridiculous pomposity . It would seem tbat , like Rip Van Winkle , they have been asleep for a good while paBt , and suddenly awoke to a knowledge of events that were passing under their noses for the lost six months . The " pomp and circumstance" with which they ushered in the military display of yesterday was exceedingly ridiculous . All their preparations and precautions to guard against a surprise of military posts were on the same scale . It would have appeared , indeed , as if ; they deBired , by their uncalled-for proceedings—their unmeaning display of military forceto drive the people into a temporary

      outbreak-There is , in truth , but one opinion among sensible men of all parties respecting the entire conduct of the Government—of the miserable and drivelling Government—to whom the destinies of this country are entruated—a Government weak and contemptible for real good , and strong only in bringing all law and justice into disrepute . Why , it fa 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 ?—ttmt they might assemble at Clontarf ?—and what then ? A second edition of the Manchester massacre—nay , ten thousand times worse . Lord DtGft y arrived here With the Lord Chancellor on . Friday . Troops marched frum Weedon and Manchester on Friday , and embarked on Saturday . Why , then , was not the Proclamation issued on Friday ? Why was It wilfully delayed ?

      It was determined in England to proclaim the C ' ontarf meeting . Lord Did toy and the Lord Chancellor arrived on Friday for that purpose . How , then can the delay in the issuing of the Proclamation be accounted for and justified ? It was a ftarfu ] and a wicked act , fur which tbifl wretched Kxecutive must 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 mure triumphantly than over . We are to have three rounds of simultaneous meetings !—We hope the Government are satisfied .

      RETURN OF THE TROOPS TO DUBLIN . — From Tuesdays Times . —Shortly after fire o ' clock , ther was a general move on the part of the 'spectators towards Dublin ; and , as the place was soon cleared , and the troops could be of no more service , except in shooting wild-ducks and curlews for their tracers' mess , they received orders to " march , " and shortly after six o ' clock , were safely ensooncad 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 and quietness .

      Mr . Kelly having addressed a few observations to the meeting , some money Jwas handed in from persons who were stated to have ! joined the ranks of Repeal in consequence of th ; - ! ate Government proclamation , Mr . Bernard Traynor presented an address to Mr . O'Connell from Stalybridge . Mr . O'Connell replied . Mr . Ray read the minutes of the last weekly meeting , after which j Dr . Stephens , of Athy , in handing in some money-£ 8 10 s ., said that it was contributed in the Repeal reading rooms from the Repeals of that town , immediately afrer be 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 doitheir duty for Ireland—their country ? when they all replied , " Sbe can command our purses , and would to God that , without violating any law , we could save her with our blood ''—( tremendous applause ) .

      After several sums of money had been handed in and a number of members enrolled , —¦ Mr . O'Connell read i a letter from the Rev . Mr . M'Evoy . of Kells , who subscribed £ 1 in conseqaeuce of the Government proclamation . Nothing ( said Mr . O'Connellji could afflict him more in any event that related to himself than the resistance to authority —( hear , hear )—that which he preached to others he practised himself—( hear , hear ) . If any authority should , in its caprice—for they could nQt doit otherwise—arrest him , nothing could excruciate ! him more than that they should have recourse to the least violence ^—( cheers ) . He would , with the blessinglof God , conduct him through this crisis unscathed and | nn » ttacked , until they ultimately reached tho enjoyment of legislative independence—( cheers )—tbat independence which their lives were devoted to achieve , : and which they never would abandon but-with their last breath— vloud cheers ) .

GREEN , of Liverpool , addressed the meeting , and said he was awarei there were 400 Repealers in Liverpool who were determined to die rather than deBert the cause of Repea )—( cheers ) . Mr . O'Connell begged to state , for himself , tbat he had just handed Mr . Ray bis own " proclamation , "' money— £ 6 for himself , ^ 1 for each of his children ( al-. though one of them does I not tike any part in politics , he paid for him ) , nnd 26 ? . from a quarter of a hundred of his grand-cklldren—( cheers and laughter ) . The Rev . Mr . Tyreell moved the adoption of the following resolutions which were to have been submitted to the contemplatad meeting at Clontarf : —

      1 st That this meeting , highly approving of , and fully coinciding in the principles and spirit of the Leinster declaration for Repeal , as pronounced at Mullaghmast , do now adopt tbe following resolutions : — " Resolved—That this j meeting hereby declares its devoted loyalty to tbe person and throne of her gracious Majesty Queen Victoria , Queen of Ireland , and its determination to uphold and maintain inviolate all tbe prerogatives of tbe crowD , as guaranteed by the Constitution . ' " Resolved—That we ^ the clergy , gentry , freeholders , and Other inhabitants of Fingal , in public meeting assembled , declare and pronounce , in the presence of our country , before Europe and America , and in thf sight of heaven , [ that NO POWER ON EARTH OUGHT OF RIGHT TO MAltE LAWS TO BIND THIS

      Kingdom , save the . Queen , Lords , and Commons op Ireland ; and tiere , standing on the evermemorable battle-field of CloRtarf , tbe Marathon ep Ireland , we solemnly pledge ourselves to use every constitutional exertion to free this , our native land , from 1 he tyranny of being legislated for by others than her own inhabitants . ] " Resolved—Tbat forty-four years of devoted and successful labour in tho cause of hia country , have justly earned for Q ConneU—ihe Liberator of Irelandtbe unbounded confidence of the Irish people ; and , that we , relying upon his supreme wisdom , discretion , patriotism , and undaunted firmness , hereby pledge ourselves , individually and collectively , to follow his guidance , under any and every circumstance tbat may arise •' and , come weal , come woe , never to desert tbe constitutional standard of Repeal which be has raised . "

      " That petitions to the Houses of Lords aud Commons now read be adoptJd , praying for their recognition of the inalienable right of an Irish nation to a Domestic Legislature , and in order thereto for a Repeal of the Legislative Union , ?' The resolutions weru adopted . The business having closed , Mr . O'Connell came to the front of the platform , and wax received with deafening applause . When silence waa restored he proceeded to Bay—He never , in tbe course of a long and eventful life , rose to address a public assembly with a stronger or more awful feeling of responsibility than at the present moment—( hear , hear ) . At the same time he nevjer 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 tfee people , and tbe iniquity of their enemies—ihear , bear , and cheers . ) It was quite true that be passed a most hidpous day yesterday ; for hours upon hours he could not bring his confidence in tbe people—in their tranquillity , in their ready obedience ; he could not raise tbat confidence to a sufficient pitch net to apprehend tb : tt miscbief might casually occur , and that ; tbe day might end in a massacre of innocent people- ^ - ( hear , bear ) . He would say it at once , it was not tbie fault of tbe Government that there was not a massacre—( hear / . He did not Imitate to repeat it , and if tie were to ) go to rhe scaffold for it to-morrow , he Would not hesitate to say tha ; if the Government hadi intended to trick the people

      into ft massacre , they would not act otherwise than fchey did act—( bear ) . He did not say they had tbat intention . He could not look into any buman mind , and be knew , besides , that there was so much folly and absurdity in their entire conduct respecting the Repeal , that he did not ( accuse them of intending that which , bnt for his interposition , might have ended in tbe massacre of unarmed people—( bear , hear ) . He had two objects—one to proclaim to Ireland tbat there was but one safety and one mode of obtaining tbe Repeal of the Union , and that was the moat perfect obedience to everything having the sbape of legal authority . Let tfaem not pause to question if it be exactly Ugal , for resistance was not legal . Let the illegality of the authority demonstrate itself ; but as long as it kept

      itself legal , even by name , so long , ho told the people of Ireland , if they wished for safety and above all the ^ Repeal , they should obey it—( loud cheers ) . A Voice—We will all obey you . j Mr , O'Connell—He could answer for all Ireland— ; ( cheers ) . It was manifest tbe Repeal was coming—it was perfectly manifest they must have it on one comli- ' tion—their not putting" themselves in tbe power of their enemies ; aud if they obeyed everything having i the shape , and even the pretence of law about it , they might set them at de&a ^ nce , for they would never ven- 1 ture to throw off tho mask and raise the dagger . But this he told them—to have confidence in him —( cheers ) . , Lat him be sneered at , but he deserved their confidence

      — ( enthusiastic applause ) . He tDought of them 'n every waking moment—fin his dreams' was mixed up aDxiety far their safetj : be wanted to carry the , Repeal without one drop ; of blood—without crime of any description—without disturbing tbe state of social order . He wanted to carry it in such a wgy that be could face ; the Redeemer , bavinc : fo crime to answer for in the advice he gave in conducting the Irish people ; ami ' unless it was a line of ; conduct which Heaven could approve of , couldthny be successful . ?—( luud cheers ) . Well , "why did he repeat bis caH of obedience ? because ha wished to have it pass from the Giant ' s Causeway to Cape Clear , and frorti Connemara , where they were a few weeks ago , to the Hill of Howth , whosa echo they would hava awakem-d yesterday—( cheers ) . It had

      been talked here , thas if be were arrested there wohIiIbe a struggle ; they could not inflict a greater punishment upon him than even the utterance of that sentiment , because it shewed they , would imagine he was not sincere in his declarations —( hear , hear ) . Eveu if he were arrested , thty should obey tht law , and the Union ' would be rtpealed— ( ohttrs ) . He sent that throughout Ireland—his words would pass even by that evening ' s newspapers , for measures were taken to have them published —( Uea ; -, hear ) . | He wanted to put down the anxiety—to take away ; and soothe , and mitigate tbe feelings of just , indignation at tke manner in which the 1 Government dared to trjeat the Irish people at the present moment—( hear , hear , and loud cheers ) . Having first enforced obedience , he declared his thorough

      conviction tb ; it the' conduct of Government was calculated , in a high degree , to produce a massacre . He was not accusing them of the intention to do it , but ho would demonstrate by facts tbat they escaped the horrors of that crime , and innocent men escaped slaughter , by his ( Mr . O'C . ) happening to be in Dublin—( bear , hear ) . Let him give the dates . Three weeks ago the Government were apprised of the Clontaif meeting—it was advertised moro than a fortnight ago —•\ for mere than a week they had determined to take the step they had taken—( loud cries of hear , hear , hear ) . How did he demonstrate that ? Thus did he demonstrate it—had not t&ey everything

      arranged , and two regiments on their passage here ?—had they not settled them to arrive here on the morning of the meeting —( hear , hear ) ? They were , therefore , determined to want them , and they could want them only for one purpose ; aud what he complained cf waa , that they did not give aufiisient notice of their intention to put dowii the meeting , in order that the leaders of tho people might caution that people of the necessity of not falling into such danger—( cheers ) . Thay had for six raopths permitted—he would aay countenanced—similar meetings ; the meetings at Eunis , Limerick , Counemara , Loughrea , Waterford , Enniscortby , and Donnybrook . A Voice—And Tara . i

      Mr . O'CONNELL—Aye , and Tara— ( hear , hear ) . All these bad taken place—the Government took no part in them—their names were ostentatiously proclaimed waa there any prosecution or the smallest hint given of their illegality ? Waa any magistrate aent to them , or policeman commissioned to give them caution , —( loud criea of " no , no" ) ? In short , all were held with the moat perfect knowledge ; of the Government , and up to Friday last that was tho position of the publio mindthe Rtpeal meeting at Ciontarf was to have been equally as peaceable and tranquil ts tha others ; in fact , it had an additional feature of legality about it—the laymen were more numerous iuthe rtquisitiona convening the othar meetings ; but the nqusitioa for Cjontarf was signed exclusively by GUiiuItccitrgjmen , so that it was

      Untitled Article

      peculiarly marked with tranquillity —( loud cheers ) . The Government , as they were called , were here early on Friday—that was the evening for publishing the Gazelle , tbe legitimate source for a proclamation to issue ; and he asked common sense , fas asked the British Minister , be asked Sir Robert Peel how ha could paas by Friday , and not send forth their proclamation in the Gazelle , if they bad no intention to mislead the people—( hear , bear )? Had they proclaimed on Friday , he ( Mr . O Connell ) and others would hava been able to go round to tbe different localities on Saturday , calling on the people 10 obey the proclamation , though they believed it to be illegal— ( bear . hear ) ? But they did not do it on Friday , and he told them this , if they did intend the horrible trick ( be did sot accuse

      them ) that was the line of conduct they would hayo adopted—( hear , hear ) . Friday came- ^ they were in Dublin—the Gazette appeared , and ne > proclamation in it ? Now , if they were as innocent as sucking babes , and , Sugden the chief of the suckers —( a laugh)—they had left a belief upon tbe 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 laugh . ) Well , Friday passed over , and there was no proclamation ; and it was three o'clock on Saturday when he got tbat proclamation , when they sent them after nightfall to be posted —( hear , hear , )—but that would 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"Connell ' s ) counter pro clamation gone ont . If his proclamation had not been issued—if messengers had not been sent in every direc tion , cautioning the people , they would have poured in ia tens of thousands , from Meath , the county Kildare , and other places ; in short , nobody could doubt that from three to foux bundled thousand people would have assembled at Clontarf , and if they did , sacred Heaven would they not necessarily have encroached upon the soldiers ? or , at all events , would it not be next to a miracle tbat some species of riot would commence ?—for tho most miserable Orangeman in Dablin might have set them all in confusion . Such an escapa of massacre a people never had . Such a set of men ought not te

      be in the government of Dalkey island . ( Hear , h « ar , and laughter . ) He had a copy of the proclamation in his pocket , and be must say that a more illegal , 01 a worse constituted document , or one more dangerous ia its tendency , was never before issued —( hear , hear ) . He would only ask them to contrast its language with that of 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 ib to take place at or sear Clontarf , on Sunday , the 8 th of October inat ., for the alleged purpose of petitioning Parliament for a Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland . " Now , mark the next—" And whereas advertisements and

      placards have been printed and extensively circulated , calling on the persons who proposed to attend the said meeting ou horseback , to meet aud 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 was attached , advising tbe horsemen to fall in groups , to prevent them interfering with those on foot } but there was na authority given by the Association for issuing those advertisements ; and he believed that he himself had on the last day of their meeting turned them into ridicule . He supposed it was Blackburne or Brewster that drew attention to these military advertisements , and dragged them into their proclamation . But to go

      on— " And whereas meetings of large numbers of persons have already been held in different parts of Ireland under the like pretence , 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 the 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 had always spoken with the highest respect of the Queen ; and as to bringing into hatred and contempt tbe Government , he would say nothing about hatred , for it waB an ugly word

      but as to bringing them into con ' empt , they were perfectly able to do that for themselves without tho 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 used by persons who have signified their intention of being present at , and taking part in the said meeting , so announced to be held at or near Clontarf . " There was a phrase 1— " persons who have signified their intention of being present ;'' but they 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 . Waa not this Iudgeography personified . Let him go on— "Andwhereas the said intended meeting is calculated to excite reasonable and well-grounded apprehension—the denied the absurd allegation)—that tbe motives and objects of the persons to be assembled thereat are not the fair legal exercise of constitutional tights and privileges , but to bring into hatred and contempt the Government and constitution of the United Kingdom as by law established , and to accomplish alteration in the laws and constitution of the realm by intimidation and the demonstration of physical force . " Recollect ( continued Mr . O Connell ) that no evidence existed of any one of tbe charges Bet forth in that proclamation ; they were allegations—charges on the mere ipse dixit of a few

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

      Clontarf , as aforrsaid , can oaly 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 , that 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 , but they must bring in the low Orangemen to their aid by appealing to " all others whom it may concern , to be

      aiding ami assisting in the execution of tae law in rsreventing the said meeting , and in the effectual dispersion and suppression ef the same , and in tho detection and prosecution of thosa who , after this notice , shall offend in this reapuct aforesaid . " He ( Mr . O'Connell ) would be ashamed of his profession , if fae did not fael himielf in a position to proclaim this proclamation as the grossest violation of the law he ever met orheard of . Look at the wording of it . They were first to prevent the meeting , and then to disperse it—( laughter ) . Was it not ludicrous ? They were to take care tbat the meeting should sot happen ; and then they were to disperse it—( laughter ) . Such was the proclamation issued on Saturday evening , and issued at an hour that must prevent the possibility of its being made known to the people . What would have been the issue if 200 , 000 men had come in yesterday , and thst in any of the narrow passages one of them even pressed against 3 soldier—( hear , hear , hear ) , —and that

      aofjry 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 the slightest occurred , there would undoubtedly have been massacre —( hear , hear ) . He would now give them the proclamation for Wales^—( hear , hear , hear ) . It was to this effect— " Whereas in certain districts in South Wales , especially in the coanties of Pembroke , Cardigan , and Carnarvon , tumultuous assemblages of the people , armed with ruls and other destructive weapons , had taken place by night , and committed outrages of a violent description upon the lives and properties of our sui > j cts "—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . Now , in Ireland th * y had no tumultuous meetings—they were not armed , nor did they

      inflict injury upon the lives and properties of the people . Contraot tbe conduct of tho ^ eopU of the two countries . Tbose tumuluous assemblages in Wales had pulled down toll-gates ar / d demolished toll-houses , and they fead extorted sums of money from the people by threats and violence—1 hear , and cueers ) . In Ireland they had been guilty ef no such practices—here all was peaceable , and lives and 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 justice * of the peace" to aid . in patting them down— - ( hear , hear , hear ) , while the Welsh proclamation called only upon the " eivil officers" of tbe country to suppress those tumultuous meeting * to which he had referred . W * a it fair , was

      it just to make this difference in the two proclamations , especially under the circumstances , and looking to the state of affairs in the two countries—( bear , and cries of *•¦ no , no "} ? He , for one , would not say that it was unlawful to disobey sach a proclamation as this—procla mation ! could not make laws . Acts of Parliament were at one time passed which constituted proclamations a part of the law of the land ; but tbose acts were not now In existence —( bear , 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 the aien who signed the proclamation on Saturday ought to be imptached , inasmuch as tbey called on persona to act against tho paoplo who had no authority ( Continued in our Seventh page . )

Up to half-pant five o'clock yefitc-rday , when we went to press , the troops remained stationed along the Clontaif shore in the manner we have described . During the day Mr . Thomas Steele , as Head Pacificator , appeared among tbe crowd with a large green bongh , which he held aloft He was dressed as usual , sav » that he spurted bis holiday cap with a gold band . He encouraged many of tho people to return home , and appeared anxious to prevent any breach of the peace but , indeed , his services were not required as no disposition whatsoever to rioting was evinced by the jjinftitmie .

      In the course of the day some hundreds of respectable ciUzens visited the scene of operations . A great number of ladies , in carriages , private jaunting cars , and vehicles of all descriptions , drove along the line occupied by the military , and appeared highly amused by tbe exciting scene . About fuur o ' clock we observed Sir Edward Blnkeney , with a numerous stuff , on tbe ground . Colonel M'Greg or , inspector-General of Constabulary , was also there . After remaining a short time . Sir Edward and his staff returned to town .

      Return of the Troops to Town—About halfpast five o ' c ' ock tbe order was given for tbe troops to fall in , " and preparations were made for returning to barracks .

Along the line of march great multitudes were assembled . Soinb partial cheering t ^ ok place as tbe troops marched by , bnt tbe nttuest good feeling was displayed . Tbe troops were steady and ordirly , and wtre treated with tvtry respect by the populace .

      Evacuation of Aidborocgb-House —We should like to know with whom tbe idea originated of occupying this old dilapidated building al a military positiou . Ab we have already noticed , it was taken possession of early yesterday morning by a company of the 36 th , and maintained a very warlike appearance during the day .

      IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION . — THIS DAY . { From the Dublin Monitor 0 / Monday evening . ) The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held at the Abbey-street Theatre to-day , that building having boon selected in order to accommodate the Liverpool and Manchester Repealers , who came to attend the Clontarf meeting . Long before twelve o ' clock , the hour appointed for taJdn ^ the chair , every part fif the theatre was crowdud to excess . At a few minutes after twelve o ' clock Mr . O'Connell appeared on the platform , aud was received with enthusiastic applause . On tbe motion of the Hon . and and Learned Gentleman , John O'Connell , Esq ., M . P ., was called to the chair .

      The Chairman eaid he felt highly honoured at being called upon to preside over this meeting . Under ordinary circumstances it was a flattering distinction , but at this important juncture he seusibly felt the distinction conferred on him by placing him in that important position ( hear , hear ) . He con gratulatcd tbe noble people on the conduct they had exhibited yesterday . Much as their conduct on former occa ^ iuns was worthy of approbation , treble and tenfold was it admirable when contrasted with tie behaviour of tbe government ( loud cheers ) . Hitherto the people had implicitly obeyed the directions of those guidos in whom tbey placed confidence ; and he now called upon them to attend to the advice and directions of those who had assumed that office , and who would , notwithstanding what had occurred , stand by them for the Repeal ( loud cheers ) . : . .

      When the Chairman bad concluded his observations , and the tremendous applause with which he was greeted 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'Connell . The address was then read . When silence was restored , whioh was broken for several minutes after the reading of the address , which was greeted with tremendous applause .

      Mr . OConnell came forward , and was received with the greatest enthusiasm . He said that , as a matter of course , he felt deeply grateful for the sentimei ta ef lopen regard and public confidence which the address just read contained . He Bpproved of much of it , and nil the declarations respecting ltibbonlsm nnd secret societies , because he knew that no Repealer belonged to those illegal associations—( hear , hear ) . Althongh soine Irishmen bad been foolish enough to join them , they were more foolish than criminal , and he I Mr . O'Connel . ) had to thank tbe loyal min of Manchester tbat tbey were ready to use their exertions to put them down by every constitutional means in their power—( cbeers ) . Tbe 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—( bear ) . If there was language of a strong nature contained in tbat address , he ( Mr . O'ConneH ) 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 tbe reverse to their enemies—( tremendous applause ) . The only tyranny he disliked was the tyranny , of the Union , and the only oppressor he recognised was the enemy of Repeal , in which wss identified all their cause of complaint ; but when he ( Mr .
