" Strong in these principles; dutiful in our allegiance to the crown ' • ardent in our love of fatherland ; convinced that our Parliament can be restored by no other means than those of peaceable and legal exertion, we most anxiously advise, we most earnestly implore you, not to be seduced into any species of tumult, riot, or violence by any event that may occur. " Under the present circumstances nothing can justify any breach of the peace. Whatever may occur, be no parties to any violence whatever, and be assured that we thus point out the route to certain and not remote resto ration of the Irish Parliament. " Signed by order, "DANIEL O'CONNELL, Chairman of the Committee. " Corn Exchange-rooms, Oct. 16, 1843." Although hitherto the most complete tranquility pre vails, the government have made extensive military preparations in the event of any sudden emergency. The 34th regiment, from Weedon, arrived here on Sunday; the 24th, from Glasgow, on Wednesday; and the 65th, from Bolton, yesterday. The latter corps immediately on landing marched to Maynooth, eleven miles from town, en route to Mullingar and other detached stations, and the 70th are daily expected. But little alarm is felt in Dublin ; and even in the provinces not near so much as might be expected, although (notwithstanding the ex aggerated accounts of the numbers of the troops at present serving in Ireland) the entire force amounts, including artillery and marines, to about 21,200 men ; however, there are also about 9000 constabulary whose services would be available. Sufficient time has not elapsed to enable a correct opinion to be formed of the feelings of the great body of the people in the rural districts of Ireland. The Corpora tions, however, of Limerick, and Cork, and Sligo have already taken the matter up, and in the first-mentioned cit♦ rescinded the standing order, requiring previous notice, to pass the following resolutions, a copy of which we subjoin : On Monday an adjourned meeting of the Limerick Town Council adopted the following resolution : " That we consider the proceedings adopted within the last year by O'Connell for procuring the repeal of the legislative union, and the meetings held in various parts of the country for that purpose, were strictly legal and constitutional, and did not call for or warrant the inter vention of the executive ; and while we disclaim on the part of the people the least intention of violating the laws, or endangering the public peace, we solemnly protest against any infraction of their legal right to meet to peti tion parliament, upon the assumption that the public peace would be disturbed—an assumption disproved by the expe rience of similar meetings, and by the alacrity with which the meeting to have been holden at Clontarf was abandoned, and we hereby declare our deliberate intention to continue our support to O'Connell in the same constitutional course which characterised the repeal movement under his able guidance." The motion was carried and the council adjourned. That this resolution was not the unanimous sense of the corporation appears from the following protest published shortly after : " We, the undersigned members of the corporation of the city of Limerick. being absent from the meeting of the council held this day, no intimation having been given of any political motion, feel ourselves called upon to protest against the resolutions passed, and to express our grati tude to our beloved sovereign and her ministers for the mea'ures taken to restore confidence and security to her loyal subjects in this distracted country. . . "Michael Furnell, D.L. city of Limerick, and alder man ; Henry Watson, Henry Maunsell, Edwaad Bernard, John Boyse, Limerici, 9th October, 18431" In the Cork corporation the following notice of motion for Thursday next has been given by one of the aldermen. " To address her Majesty, praying her to dismiss from her councils the several individuals whose names are af fixed to a proclamation issued late on Saturday evening last, purporting to prevent a meeting publicly called at Clontarf for the Sunday following, for the constitutional purpose of petitioning parliament." Mr. O'Connell has given notice of intention to bring forward, at the meeting of the Corporation of this city on Tuesday next, the following resolution :—" To submit to their conside.ration the insult offered to the Lord Mayor, and to the Corporation, and the danger arising to the citizens at large, by means of the issuing of an 'Regal pro clamation, and by the total disregard of the Lord Mayor's undoubted power and willingness to keep the peace within this city " In this resolution, however, there is a pal pable falsehood, as although formerly the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor of Dublin extended to a great distance round the city on both sides, north and south, that juris diction has been confined, by the Municipal Corporation Reform Zill, within very narrow limits, and does not ex tend to the position intended to have been taken up by the Repeaters at Clontarf; t ierefore the authority of the Lord Mayor would not have been sufficient to afford any protection at the scene itself, or to have moved the troops a single inch beyond the present limits of the borough, no matter what scenes of violence might have been enact ed at the point of meeting. A 'nesting of the, inhabitants of the Custom-house Ward has been held at the Carpenters'-hall, in Glouces ter-street, at which resolutions were adopted expressive of confidence in O'Connell, and the same course is in tended to be taken in several of the other wards, but at all the meetings which have been held since the Govern ment have shown determined to act is devoid of all the blustering which uniformly characterized their previous proceedings SUNDAY EVENING, 8 O'CLOCK The city has continued in the same state of undisturbed tranquillity as heretofore, the only difference perceptible to the most experienced eye is, that there are very few of the military in the garrison to he seen about the streets, although the garrison has not been so strong for years. And that the most intense anxiety for news seems to per vade all classes, from the very lowest upwards; doubts now take the place of boasting, even amongst the Roman Catholic party I heard it rumoured that Dan would not attend the usual weekly meeting of the Repeat Association to-morrow : this, however. I do not credit, nor do I give it as more than one of the thousand rumours of the day. Two meetings were held to-day, one in Henry-street, of the inhabitants of the Post-office Ward, to express con tinued confidence in O'Connell, Mr. John O'Connell at tended, as did also Dr. Gray ; the other meeting com posed of inhabitants of the Linen-hall Ward, was held in the Fruit Market. and the object was the same, in both cases the proceedings have terminated perfect'y quietly. Should anything of moment occur to-morrow, you shall hear from me by one or both mails. MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION, YESTERDAY WEEK. (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) The City of Dublin Steam Ship Co's. steamer Queen Victoria, Captain Beasley, arrived in the river this morn ing, at about a quarter past six. from Kingston. When she let, yesterday afternoon, Dublin was per fectly tranquil. A great concourse of people lined the principal thorough fares leading to the Abbey-Street Theatre and the Rotun da, and the greatest possible anxiety prevailed, all anxious to learn the next step of the Government. As had been previously notified a repeal meeting was held in the Abbey-Street Theatre, and a repeal dinner given in the liotunda, at both of which O'Connell and his leading col leagues. including Tom Steel, were present. The meeting went off very qu'etly ; but, so great was the attendance, that none of our informants were able to get within hearing, and, as there are no papers published until atter the Queen had sailed, it is impossible as yet to give the tenor of the speeches. A mail, however, leaves Dublin at half-past nine o'clock, and by her we expect further particulars, which we shall publish in a Third Edition. A rumour was current that the arrest of O'Connell would be effected to-day, and we have good authority to believe the probability of such a rumour. Several Conservatives who from curiosity had secured seats on a platform that had been erected at Clontarf, have been completely duped of the price, 2s. Gd., which the Association refuse to restore. It is said £BOO has been pocketed by this scheme. (From our Third Edition of Tuesday last.) The usual weekly meeting took place yesterday, the 9th, in Calvert's Theatre, Abbey-street, the Corn Exchange being insufficient to accommodate the numbers expected to attend, including some hundreds of the Liverpool re peelers, who arrived on Saturday and Sunday. The theatre was crowded to excess in every part. Shortly after twelve o'clock the chair was taken by John O'Connell, M.P. Addresses of congratulation were then presented to Mr. O'Connell, from the repeaters of Manchester and Staley Bridge, congratulating him on the progress of the repeal agitation. He briefly thanked the deputation for the compliment paid to him. Letters were read from various parts of the country, enclosing subscriptions, and many of which were denomi nated " proclamation money". Mr. O'CoNNELL, in reference to a phrase in one of these letters, said that nothing could excruciate him more than the occurrence of anything tending to a breach of the peace. and he would be most unhappy if he were not certain that repealers give him credit for entertaining these sentiments. He would conduct them through the present crisis safe and sound, unattacked and uninjured, in person or property. They should give their enemies no occasion for triumph ; and they would come out of the present crisis with the certainty of obtaining legislative independence—that to which their lives were devoted, and the struegle for which they never would give up, ex cept with their last breaths. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GREENE, of Liverpool, handed in £45 from that locality, and read the names of th e c o n t r ib u t ors , many of whom, he said, were then present in the pit, and were ready to do or die if necessary. (Great cheering.) Mr. NVGENT, of Kingstown, handed in £7 10s., which, he said, he had collected on the previous day at the door of his own house, by hoisting Mr. O'Connell's proclama tion as a standard. Hear, hear, and c h eers .) Th e peo ple flocked around i t immediately, and in a few minutes the snm he had handed in was collected . H e was de lighted to see the soldiers who landed in Kingstown yes. terday sharing their bread with the poor creatures who were asking alms on the beach. Mr. O'CONNELL hande d in what he termed his own "proclamation" rooney—X s from himself--£I from each THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. of his.seven children, and 255. from his quarter of a hun dred of grandchild , - n. (Cheers ;aid laughter.) The Hon. and 1.?art11.11 . GENTI.EII.kI , I titer came for ward to address the meeting, and vvis received with great cheering. He said he had never ;addressed a punlic meet ing with a greater feeling of resp,msibility—with a more triumphant conviction of the propriety of the conduct of the people, and of the iniq•iity of their enemies. (Cheers.) It was true he bad passed a most hideous day yesterday, because for hours he could not raise his confidence in the people to such a pitch as not to apprehend that mischief might occur at Clontarf, and a massacre of the people ensue as the inevitable result of any disturbance. (Hear, hear.) He would say it was not the fault of the govern ment that a massacre did not take place, and if he were to go to the scaffold for it, he would not hesitate to assert that if the government wanted to entrap the people, they juar adopted the course calculated to effect their purpose. (Hear) Had it not been for his interposition a massacre would have occurred. He now called on the people to obey every thing having the shape or appearance of legality— if they wished for safety to themselves and for a repeal of the union. If they follow this course they m us t in evitably obtain repeal—by keeping themselves out of the power of their enemies, who would never venture to throw off the mask and raise the dagger against them —(hew and cheers.) If they did so, it would, of course, be a different case altogether; but he wanted to carry repeal without shedding a drop of blood—without crime or violence of any kind—in such a way as that he could meet his Redeemer without having anything criminal to answer for, in that struggle for the liberty of his coun try—(cheers.l It had been said that if he was arrested there might be a struggle. They could say nothing that more grieved him, for it led to the inference that they did no; believe him to be sincere, when he told them to keep the peace. He now told them to obey the law even if he were to perish in consequence of that obedience. The course of the government with respect to the Clnntarf meeting was, he repeated, calculated to cause the slaughter of innocent people. They were in possession of the fact for three weeks, yet did not announce their attention of putting it down till the last moment. Only for the activity used, and his being in town, the friends of the people could ❑ot have cautioned them from attending, and the result might have been fearful. For six months the go vernment had permitted, nay, he might say, countenanced these meetings ; they knew the names of those who took part in them, yet there were no prosecutions—no hint even of their being illegal —no caution given —in fact, on the contrary, there was a continual acquiescence and ac knowledgment of their legality on the part of the govern ment. Up to Friday last such was the state of things, when suddenly the government thought proper to inter fere with the last of their meetings. and one. too, above all others, characterised by decent tranquillity, for the requisition by which it was convened was signed exclu sively by Catholic clergymen. (Hear, hear.) Why did they not publish the proclamation in the Gareth, of Fri day ? The association might then have had time to pre vent the people from attending. It was late on Saturday before it was issued ; and if he had not sent messengers to the various parts of the country, whence the people were expected to attend, there was no doubt that three or four hundred thousand persons from the surrounding counties would have assembled at Clontarf on yesterday ; and, if they had done so. it would be next to a miracle it' some riot were not committed or fomented. (Hear,hear.) Any of the low Dublin Orangemen could have gone there and done it. (Hear, hear, hear.) He asserted that a set of men who could act so, were unworthy of being entrust ed with the government of Dalkey Island. (Laughter.) He then took out a copy of the proclamation, and corn. mented on it in a sneering and contemptuous tune, clause by clause. One clause referred to placards calling on people to march in military order. Of these placards the Association knew suing : they were anonymous. The charge that their meetings tended to bring the govern ment and constitution into contempt, he utterly repu diated. Ile wished only to revive the constitution, and this charge (to use the term of a friend when a man spoke nonsense), mere " fudgeography." (Great laughter.) He denounced the addressing of the proclamation " to alt magistrates, officers," &c., as illegal in language, and of ferociaus authority, and quite different from the proclam ation issued in Wales, in which a complete catalogue of the crime was set forth, and ended with enjoining all " magis trates, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and all other civil authori ties whatsoever to be aiding in the suppression of these outrages." In Irelanl there had been no such outrages, and the persons who issued the Irish proclamation should be impeached for the abominable latitude as to the per sons to whom it was addressed. If they put such a procla mation into the Corn-Exchange Rooms, he would be the first to go into it, notwithstanding. if th ey sent police or soldiers to arrest them, they would submit at once. The crime would be the govern ment's—the legal vindication should he theirs—(cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then announced that he intended to have simultaneous meetings tin two occasions, but he would not then fix the days. They would take place before the meeting of parliament, and would be for the adoption and signature of petitions to parliament. He concluded by impressing on the meeting the necessity of an implicit obedience to the laws, but at the same time never desist ing from legally struggling for repeal, and proposed a resolution to that effect. Captain SEAVER, of Newry, seconded it, and it was adopted. Mr. O'Connell announced the amount of the week's rent to be £1.105 3s. Id. Major Nicuoisosr, who said it was the proclamation brought him there, was the second chairman, anti the meeting seperated after giving three cheers for Mr. O'Con nell. On Monday week a baker in Dunlin 'diced a hirge placard in his window, with the following tionouncemen - : " Notice!!! The five hundred thousand penny bon, pre pared for the great Clontart meeting of yesterday 4re LIOW on sale at a half-penny a piece ! We nirly thank the go vernment for this toss. not an action will he brought for the recovery. And may-be they won't be able to p:ty ?" Mr. Brunel, the celebrated engineer, with other gentle men, are at present in town, on au inspection of the coast, with a view to wake a packet station in the most eligihle position, for the purpose of landing English mails destined for the south and east of Ireland.

We suppose that this order has been given merely to provide for any contingency that may arise in case further troops should be required in Ireland. lasew SQUADRON.—The ships of war which at present compose the Irish Squadron are the Volage, 26, Capt. Sir W. Dickson, Bart., stationed at Cove, hearing the flag of Rear Admiral Bowles, C. 8.; the Meteor steamer, Lieu. tenanant-Commander George Butler; the Lynx, 3, brig antine, Lieutenant-Commander John Thomas Nott, sta. tioned at Torbert, on the river Shannon ; the Rhactiman thus steamer, Master Com.

F. ileechey, and the Comet, steamer, Com. George A. Frazer, have been en gaged for some time in surveying the Irish coast. EXTRAORDINARY Ruuoua.—The Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday contains the following paragraph : " An impression is very generally abroad—and exclusively amongst Mr. O'Connell's own followers—that the Procla mation put forward by the Lord Lieutenant and Council, was issued at the special request of Mr. O'Connell him self ; and that he was furnished with a manuscript copy. and before the original had been in type, with a view of having his own ready to promulgate simultaneously with that from the Castle. We do not undertake to vouch for the truth of this assertion; hut we can assure our readers that it is extensively circulated as a rumour; and it is reasonable to suppose that to it is to be ascribed the ne cessity of Mr. Mark Callaghan proposing, at the Abbey street meeting. on Monday, a ' vote of confidence in O'Connell,' with the addition, ' that the people were re• solved to adopt any measure that their great leader might think fit to propose for the safety and peace of the empire.' It is not usual, apropos to nothing, to move votes of con fidence, unless confidence be shaken."—[Whether this rumour be correct or not, this much we confidently be lieve, viz., that there is not a man in Ireland who rejoiced more in the course taken by government than Daniel O'Connell. It gave him a chance of escaping a halter, hich no effort of his own could have brought about.— ED. L. S.] WA L E S. STATE OF SOUTH WALES A daring outrage was committed on the night of the 6th instant, in the neighbourhood of Carmarthen. On Saturday last, two men named Evans, master and ser vant, were apprehended on the information of a farmer named Thomas, belonging to a parish twelve miles from Carmarthen, charged with haying, on the night of the 30th September, together with others, with blackened faces, created a disturbance, assaulted the said Thomas, and obtained from him 40s. on false pretences. On the same night (the 6th instant) Thomas, after giving the information, was afraid of going home till late, and con cealed himself behind a hedge. About one o'clock he heard a blowing of horns, and presently saw his house on fire. It appears that the house was surrounded by a mob of about 300 persons, most of them mounted and blowing horns, hooting and firing guns. They then set fire to the premises, and remained around, pre,ventinz any attempt to save them, until the whole was consumed. The furni- ture of the house, and forty cheeses, were destroyed. The mob then dispersed. The reason assigned for the outrage is, that Thomas had informed against two of the Rebecca ites the day before. The Calvinistic Methodists of Pembrokeshire (a nume rous sect\ have, at their quarterly meeting, strongly de nounced the outrages going on, and strictly enjoined the members of .their society to mark and denounce any indi vidual found to partake in them. The Chaplain of the Union Workhouse at Carmarthen, having expressed an opinion that " the popular feeling is decidedly hostile to the New P3or Law, and views with disgust and abhorrence the salaries paid to its various officers," the Poor Law Commissioners have addressed to this gentleman a letter, expressing an opinion, that if such are his views, he had better not " be identified with the details of its daily administration." Mr. Rowlands has addressed a letter in reply to the clerk of the Union Workhouse, in which he says, that the unpopularity of the Union Workhouses cannot be denied ; that thousands upon thousands have petitioned the Queen to relieve their wants by other means than bastiles. He adds, that were it not for the workhouse there being garrisoned by soldiers, " one stone would not long stand upon another." Two men were apprehended on the 7th for destroying a gate near Llandovery. On the 9th inst. a large meeting was held at Llechryd, The above we have abbreviated (torn the Dublin Even ing Mail of yesterday. In addition to the circumstantial account given, our Contemporary states that the moment the paper was giing to press, his question of " What will Mr. O'Connell do next," has been answered by a less a personage than Mr. O'Connell himself; for his reporter who has just returned from Calvert's theatre, brought an account that the Liberator had entered into a solemn undertaking a fine village near Cardigan, to consider local grievances, and particularly to take measures for the removal of a weir that was peculiarly obnoxious to the inhabitants. The ♦illage is beautifully situated on the banks of the river Tivy, across which the obnoxious weir is placed. The weir is said to prevent fish ascending the river from the sea, to the great injury of the poor cottagers who re side on its banks, most of whom keep what are called " coracles," or small wicker boats, for fishing. With the aid of nets, these poor men are often enabled to sup port their families by occasionally taking salmon which get over the weir during the freshes which come down the river. The weir having from this cause become highly obnoxious, has recently been destroyed by a large party of men calling themselves Rebeccaites, and again re. erected. At the meeting there were present many of the gentry of the country, and Mr. E. I. Williams was called to the chair. He proposed that, as the weir was legally constructed, they should legally get it removed. If £404 could be collected, he would undertake to subscribe £lOO himself (hear); but on this footing—that they should wait until the next spring, the fishing season now being almost over. On that condition he would use every exertion in his power to obtain the required subscriptions. ( Hear, hear.)—This announcement was received with great ap plause. The meeting finally agreed to a petition to the Queen for the redress of the grievance stated, and others. In Carmarthen numerous arrests had been made within the last day or two, in consequence, as it is said, of Jhon Yscypwrfawr having turned Queen's evidence and impli cated various parties. " TO PROSECUTE AT LAW EVERY MAN WHO SET HIS HAND TO THE PROCLAMATION PROHIBITING THE CLONTARF MEETING." Farce after Tragedy is fair and quite in O'Connell's view ; but he may shortly find other more serious matter to occupy himself with. On Tuesday, in Dublin, nothing worthy of observation occurred, beyond the very general circulation of a rumour that government, far from having any idea of doing things by halves were about to follow up their first blow by a vigorous prosecution of the leading repeaters, and it was asserted that informations against several parties had al ready been sworn. The tone in the entire party in that locality was represented as ♦ery materially lowered, and there were very evident symptoms of an inclination to back out of their late position. The Repeal Association met on Wednesday for the avowed purpose of " taking into consideration a reply to the pro-slavery manifesto of the repealers of the State of Ohio; and also an address to the people of Ireland, to allay the irritation caused by the recent proclamation." The proceedings were of a very tame character, wanting in all that braggadocia which has characterised them in former times. A great portion of Mr. O'Connell's sweet breath was expended in defending his late remarks on the character of Louis Philippe and his offer of an Irish bri gade, in case of a successful counter revolution in France, to defend the throne of Henry V. He next addressed the meeting on the subject of the late proclamation. He had to move that it be referred to the committee to prepare the frame of an address to the Irish people, and to have it printed and circulated, exhorting them to persevere in their agitation for repeal; but cautioning them against any excitement in the present crisis, or, indeed, at all— (hear, hear.) He was encouraged to adopt this course by an address to him from the corporation of Limerick, which he had received that morning. Having read tl is document Mr. O'Connell continued to say that his object now was to soothe irritation—to calm down the public mind, and to keep the repeal cause steadily progressing by adhering to those principles so often inculcated by him, P-ohibitory of physical force of any kind—(hear, hear.) The rule now was not only to yield to authority but to the semblance of authority. So long as the executive clothed itself with the appearance of legal authority, so long he (Mr. O'Connell) claimed from the people of Ire land submission to the law, and a total abstinence from violence or outrage—(hear.) He was pleased to find that from every ;ia of the country letters were fast coming up, stating that the people were universally determined to fol low the advice he had given, and that there was no danger whatever of an outbreak. But it would be necessary to repeat that advice, and to adopt every means in their power of reminding the people of their duty. He had himself intended to draw up an address to the people on this subject, but he thought it better to make the address in the shape of a speech to-day, aEd refer it to the committee to draw up the documen with deliberation. After describing the mode in which the proclamation bad been got up and issued, Mr. O'Connell proceeded to state his opinion that it was a military proceedure, dictated by Lord Lyndhurst and the Duke of Wellington, on which the rest of the cabinet had not been consulted ; and as serted that it was intended to have bean read, as a kind of riot act, at the meeting, allowing them only a quarter of an hour to disperse hefore bringing the troops upon them. (!) He proceeded then to lay down his plan of fu ture operations, which may shortly be described as con sisting in the getting up of petitions from every parish in Ireland, as a mode of amusing his dupes until the present excitement shall have ceased ; and then he would com mence his proposed simultaneous meetings. The whole proceedings were of a most tame and craven nature, the only feature worthy of notice being the transfer of the re ap° sibility of having uttered the seditious placard, calling for the mounted repealer. to proceed to the meeting at Clontarf in military order, from the shoulders of O'Con nell and the Council to those of a Mr. F. Morgan, de scribed as one of the solicitors of the Dublin Corporation The meeting was adjourned to Monday next. A meeting of the inhabitants of the several pari-hes round Llangadock was held on the 10th on a hill side near that place. There were about 1000 persons present, farmers and farm-labourers, many of the former substan tial men. Mr. Morgans, baptist minister of Tallyryn, was called to the chair, and stated that the meeting watt for the purpose of petitioning for an inquiry into existing grievances, and of resolving to repress nightly outrages. He alluded to those burdens on the people which have been often described as oppressive to them—tolls, tithes, rents, and the new poor-law, which he designated as a harsh and oppressive measure. Mr. Lewis, a farmer, spoke with great animation against the new poor-law, and the salaries paid to the union officers. The rural police was wholly unnecessary, and would impose fresh burdens on the people. The county rate had been most lavishly and improperly expended without control. He concluded by moving that a petition expressive of loyalty and attach ment to the Queen, and embodying resolutions similar to those agreed upon at former meetings, to discourage nightly outrages, should be adopted. The Queen's pro clamation was read, and the meeting was called upon to discourage all nightly and other outrages. He said that the poor-rates, tithes, and other charges, were much too high ; but was in favour of the new poor-law. A speaker said that the proclamation went to teach the people, in the hope of reward, to become false swearers. Annther speaker said the proclamation amounted, in plain lan guage, to this—How are we to catch 'Becca? It would be well at the same time to ask who she was. Some said she was the mother of all farmers ; but the truth was, that poverty was 'Becca (great cheering), and what kept her up was grievances. She was here one day, and elsewhere another. The grievances complained of were named in the petition. Every one would wish to catch 'Becca, and get rid of her. (Cheers.) The way to get rid of her was to get plenty of food, in order to give enough to her. The toll-bars that were oppressive ought to be taken away. He admired the constitution of England, and thought there was not a better man in the country than the Prime Minister, but they would be enabled to judge of him bet ter after the meoting of that day. The Bible said, " He that bath ears to hear, let him hear. If Sir R. Peel wanted peace, let him listen to what they said. The Chairman then put the petition to the meeting, and it was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting'separated. The active reporter of the Times, under the date of Thursday last, states, that in consequence of the conces sions made in various parts by the gentry and others, in respect to tithes and other burthens, the happiest results have followed, and that the country is gradually becoming more settled. The proprietor and the lessee of the Llechryd Weir (above noticed) had expressed a willing ness to abolish it at a low rate of compensation, which, coupled with the manner in which some of the gentry then came forward to subscribe towards that compensation, was immediately followed by expressions of satisfaction and content by the people. In the neighbourhood of Carmarthen nightly meetings were still however held, and the blowing of horns was heard amongst the hills. Fifty of the metropolitan police had arrived in the town, and it was supposed would prove more efficient than any hitherto employed. The writer of these reports attributes much of the discontent to the op pression of landlords, and the tyrannous manner in which some of the lawyers they employ proceed against tenants by distraint. With respect to the approaching special commission, he says :—" Many speculations are afloat as to the effect of the special commission just announced to iry the prisoners taken for Rebecca outrages. Some think that a salutary terror will be created by it in the minds of the people, and that it will put an end to the diaturbances. This, however, is a matter about which it i -riep.-- There will be a general illumination in Cork, this day (Tuesday), the anniversary of the birth of the distin guished Apostle of Temperance.

SUICIDE.—III our police intelligence will be found a paragraph headed ' Singular Case.' It will be seen that a young woman, named Mary Duck, was brought up before the magistrates for leaving her infant child unprotected. On that occasion Mr. Marshall treated the woman with considerable cfintempt. [lad he given her a severe repri mand and examined into her real guilt, no one could have complained. The woman evidently felt the treatment of this New-Poor-Law-Advocating -Magistrate, and which, added to what she had suffered from being taken into cus tody and exposed to the wide world, has caused her to commit suicide. On Wednesday last her cold and lifeless body was taken out of a pond between this town and llorbury,—A coarse.— Wakefield Journal. EXTRAORDINARY ROD FISHING IN THE Tt/6ED.—• On Thursday last, Mr. Denistoun. Springwood-park, had singularly good sport in the Tweed, at the Scurry-pool, in Sprouston Water, having killed no fewer than 17 salmon with the rod. The salmon killed were of the following weights :—one 201 b., one 181 b., one 1-11 b., one 91b., two 51h. each. and the remainder between 71b., and 81b. each. What renders Mr. Dennistoun's sport upon this occasion the mete extraordinary is, the low state of the river, front the long-continued drought, and that scarcely a single fish has been taken with the rod for several weeks. The only mode by which salmon have been taken in the Tweed for some weeks past has been with the leister or spear, and in th;s way a good number have been killed.—Edit. burgh Witness.

CHESTER CHEESE FAIR.—At the Chester October Fair, held yesterday week. a large quantity of Cheese was piled for sale, and business, we are happy to state, was very brisk, nearly the whole being cleared off by eleven o'clock. Prices ranged from 455. to 555. per cwt, accord. ing to quality : being an advance of about 3s. per cwt. on the prices obtained at our last fair. It is gratifying to state, that the hosiery trade in th e Leicester district still continues very brisk. The cut-up hosiery branch, as well as cotton, and worsted, and lanhbs'-wool, still keeps in an active state. The glove manufacture is still finding general employment for the hands. The fancy trade is in the same fair state of de mand that it has been in for some months past. IcE AT SEA.—The Camilla, from Rotterdam to New York, and which arrived at the latter place on the 24th of of August last, reported the falling in with, in lat. 41 37, long. 491, a number of icebergs, and one large field of ice of several miles' extent. It is extremely rare to meet with ice so late in the summer between Europe and Ame rica. Goon OLD HOSPITALITY.—On the evening of Thurs day week our respeeted neighbour, Colonel Rawstorne, summoned together the whole of his tenantry, and enter tained them at his residence. Penwortham Hall, to a good sub. , tantial supper. After the entertainment, the Colonel addressed his rustic guests in courteous and encouraging terms, and expressed his intention of establishing for their use an agricultural library, at Hutton village school. This is the first and chief step to advance agricultural im provement: first eradicste the weeds of ignorance, and there will be a greater disposition on the part of farmers to root up and clear the soil of vegetable weeds, and to reduce it to a better state of tillage. Then, and not tilt then, will they appreciate the beauty of a well cultivated field, than which, as the Roman orator observed, " No.. thing can be more delightful."—Preston Chronicle.

After a consultation amongst the magistrates, the appli cant was informed " the majority of the magistrates, after a full consideration of the act, and Mr. Grundy's applica tion, believe that they have a discretionary power to grant or refuse the license; and conceiving they would not be justified in granting such license to a person who wss E licensed victualler, the application is refused."
