They would take place before the meeting of parliament, and would be for the'adoption and signature of petitions to parliament. He concluded by impres,ing 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.

In addition to the circumstantial account given, our Contemporary states that the moment the paper was going to press, his question of " What will Mr. O'Connell do next." has been answered by no less a personage than Mr. O'Connell himself; for his reporte r who has just returned from Calvert's theatre, brought an account that the Liberator had entered into a solemn undertaking " TO PROSECUTE AT LAW EVERY MAN WHO SET HIS HAND TO THE PROCLAMATION PROHIBITING THE CLONTABF 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. 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 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 Repeal Association to-morrow this, however, I do not credit, nor do I give it as more than one of the thousand rumours of the clay. 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. 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 repealers, 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 very 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 aro-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 (hear, hear.) He was encouraged to adopt this course by an address to him from the corporation of Limerick, which he bad received that morning. Having read this 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 hi m , Prohibitory 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 part 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, atd refer it to the committee to draw up the documen with deliberation. After describing the mode in which the proclamation had 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 before 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 spot,sibility of having uttered tbe seditious placard, calling for the mounted repealers 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.

THE YEOMANRY.—The Secretary of State has written to the Lord-Lieutenants of Counties in the Northern District of England, directing the Yeomanry Corps to hold themselves in readiness to assemble at a short notice, on the requisition of Lieut.-General Sir Thomas Arbuth not, the General Commandant of the Northern District of England.

EXTRAORDINARY Ru MOU R. —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 bad 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 ; but 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, which no effort of his own could have brought about.— ED. L. S.] WALES 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 ab , ut 300 persons, most of them mounted and blowing horns, hooting and firing guns. They then set fire to the premises, and remained around, preventing 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 bad informed against two of the Rebecca ites the day before. The Calvinistic Methodists of Pembrokeshire (a nume rous sects 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 Paor 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,.inwlach he says', that the unpopularity of the Union Workhouses cannot be denier upon thousands have petitioned the Quc that thousands 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, a fine village near and particularly to take measures for the remova weir that was peculiarly obnoxious to the inhabitants. The village 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 poet 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. 1. Williams was called to the chair. He proposed that, as the weir was legally constructed, they should legally get it removed. If £4OO 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. ardigan, to consider local grievances, In Carmarthen numerous arrests had been made within the last day or two, in consequence, as it is said, of 3 hon Yscvpwrfawr having turned Queen's evidence and impli cated various parties. A meeting of the inhabitants of the several parishes round Llangadock was held on the 10th on a hilt 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 was 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. Are.ther 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 COtlet3- 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 Lle thryd hove notice expresses ness to abolish it at a to a willing Coupled with the manner in which some of the gentry then was immediately followed by expressions of satisfact and content by the people. _ _ )ourhood of were still however held, and the blowing of horns was heard amongst the hills.

One of them held a pistol to his ,ide, and they all escaped in the first instance. An alarm was, however, given with all possible celerity, and the numerous workmen at the iron works, as well as the inhal 'taut- .s, immediately turned out, and after considerable search on the mountain discovered the three offenders hid in a hedge—and what was not less gratifying found the treasure concealed in various parts in the vicinity. The prisoners were examined before the magistrates at Mer thyr, and were all committed for trial at the sessions, at Cardiff. The same paper (in very large type) says that " The Spe cial Commission for trying the persons charged with of fences on the Borders of Cartnarthenshire, is to be held at Cardiff on the 21st instant, before the eminent judges Parke, Gurney, and Cresswell." is extren.ely &the •It to prognosticate.

LANCASTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held on Tuesday last,.on which occas'on there was a very good show of cattle, &c. The company assembled in the field was very large, and in cluded all the leading agriculturists of the neighbourhood. The usual dinner did not take place, no person in autho rity having given the necessary directions—so that the business of the day would finish rather flatly. . ALARMING FlaE.—On Friday night last the inhabi tants of Rathinell Moor, near Settle, were into a state of consternation in consequence of a barn in that locality being observed to be on fire. The whole of the hay con tained in the building was destroyed, and the walls level . led to the ground by the devouring element. No cause whatever can he assigned as to the origin of the fire, and. it is supposed to be ilie act of an incendiary. SINGULAR DFATH.—A short time since Mr. R.

At eighteen minutes past seven, being low water, the tide, in the course of ten minutes, rose to the height of eighteen inches, where it remained for nearly fifteen minutes, it then receded about six inches, where it continued to stand for twenty minutes, and then suddenly rushed in (and with great rapidity), and in half nu hour rose to the height of three feet.

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. VVhen she left, yesterday afternoon, Dublin was perfectly 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 Rotunda, at both of which O'Connell and his leading col leagues. including Tom Steel, were present. The meeting went off very quietly; 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 after 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 Chanter', have been completely duped of the price, 2s. 6d., which the Association refuse to restore. It is said £BOO bas 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 repealers 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 denowi 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 be would be most unhappy if lie were not certain that repeaters gave him credit for entertaining these sentiments. He would conduct them through the present crisis safe and sound, unattaeked 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 struggle for which they never would give up, ex cept with their last breaths. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Goexrix, of Liverpool, handed in £45 from that locality, and read the names of the contributors, many of whom, he said, were then present in the pit, and were ready to do or die if necessary. (Great cheering.) Mr. NUGENT, of Kingstown, handed in £7 Ios., which. id, he had collected on the previous day at the door house, by hoisting Mr. O'Connell's proclama tandard.

EXTRAORDINARY ROD FISHING IN THE TWEED.— On Thursday last, Mr. Denistoun, Springwood-park, bad singularly good sport in the Tweed, at the Scurrypool, 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 141 b., one 91b., two 51b. each, and the remainder between 71b., and 81b. each. What renders Mr. Dennistoun's sport upon this occasion the mere extraordinary is, the low state of the river, from the long-continued drought, an d that scarcely a single fish has been taken with the rod for several weeks.
