MR. STEELE'S ARREST.

(From the Kilkenny journal.)
On last Saturday night, at his hotel in Patrick-street,
Mr. Steele was arrested, under an order of Government,
by chief constable Pilkington. The ground of the arrest
was a speech delivered by Mr. Steele, from his carriage,
its the open street, in this city, on Tuesday last, alleged
to be of a seditious character. On the following morning
he was waited on by Mr. Joseph Greene, R.M., who ex-
pressed his regret to Mr. Steele for the painful duty which
he was called on to perform. The most perfect good feel-
ing subsisted between the respective parties, and, as an in..
stance, we may mention, that when the recognizances were
in the act of being drawn up, Mr. Steele good-humouredly
suggested to Mr. Greene, the propriety of his taking ano-
ther recognizince, in advance, for the speech which he
was about to make that day at the Black Abbey ; a re-
commendation which Mr. Greene, heard with infinito
good humour. Mr. Steele also declared, in a spit it of
li4ht-hearted pleasantry, that the present proceeding was
a perfect God-send to an Agitator.
The recognizances were, Mr. Steele in the sum of 2001,
and two sureties (Mr. P. Stnithwick and Sullivan who
promptly tendered themselves in the kindest manner) for
100/. each, that Mr. Steele would appear to stand his trial
at the next assizes.

The truth of the matter is, that the Gevernment has
been imposed upon by some wretched creatures who are
in the habit of prowling about this city, and who, for
want of having better to do, are engaged in the unholy
work of vilifying their country and their cottntrymen.
We have a shrewd guess to the informers (or informer)
on the present occasion, and if they do not betake them-
ielves quickly to more reputable occupations, we will have
n hesitation in unmasking them to the world.
LONGFORD ASSIZES, FEB. 25.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Wednesday.)
This morning, the assizes of this county commenced.
At twelve o'clock Judge Moore came into Cunrt, and the
Grand Jury were sworn.

Hi. Lordship briefly addressed the Jury, and remarked,
that though there were some outrages in the county, yet
he could congratulate them upon a comparative state of
quiet. In the course of their duty, the Jury would have
to investigate charges of a nature that were but too general
through the country Connec•ed with these, he would
remark, that an agreement het woen any number of persons
or an illegal purpose was in itself illegal, even though they
might not have succeeded in carrying those objects into
effect. The very agreement was illegal. He hoped
shortly to see the county Longford reduced to a rate of
perfect pence and quietude; and that by the ajency qf the
Laws of the land, without the interference of any measures
but those that were consistent with the Constitution. He
rrusted that by a kir and firm discharge of their dorie.„
the Juries of Longford, assisted by the laws if the /and,
would restore their county to peace and quietness,
The calendar is unusually light, though me number of
prisoners is rather large. This is accountable for very
easily. Numbers of the peasantry have been Wien up
upon the most trifling charges. Eleven persons, who
were to prosecute Sergeant Morrissey, were arrested
S turday night last ; but, upon application of counsel,
were this day admitted to bill. Three of t.,ose who were
in custody, for what was termed an " election riot," were
this day tried, and acquitted ; and the only charge of
murder in the calendar is against a policeman.

A new Edition of " The Recollections of a
Chaperon," edited by Lady DACRE, will be published on
Monday next by Mr. BENTLIY, New Burlington-street.
MAGAZINE DAY.—From the pressure of
Parliamentary and other matters, we are compelled to
omit our usual magazine notices.
RESOLUTIONS AGAINST THE MARTIAL
LAW BILL.—In addition to the manifestation of Iris
eeling on the subject of the coercive measures, which
be found in our columns of this evening, we have received
copies of several spirited resolutions from the parishes of
Kilrnoremoy and Ballina (county Mayo), Stratltotlly, and
Moyanny (Queen's County), and the towns of Dundalk and
Tullamore, all expressing the utmost alarm and indigna-
tion at the proposed Ministerial Bill, and accompanied by
petitions, couched in strong and energetic laneuage. We
hail these remons rances, coupled with the determination
evinced by the English Unions, as a certain omen of the
lefeat of Earl GREY'S Ministry, on this measure of national
si tvery. Once more, we implore every town and parish
in Ireland to bestir themselves, at this fearful cei,is.--
