After the magistrate had heard several counsel in sup-
port of the application against Mr. Hughes, they decided
not to take the informations.
An address from Mr. O'Connell appeared to-day, which
is full of exhortations to peace and order.
In the corporation, yesterday, Mr. O'Connell, instead

of the original notice of motion which he had given,
" 'To submit to the consideration of the council
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 illegal proclamation, and
by a total disregard of the Lord Mayor's undoubted
power and willingness to keep the peace within the city.' "
moved the following milk and water resolution :
" ' That we deem the transmission of the proclamation
to the Lord Nlitvor about the hour of four o'clock on
Satin-day, the ith of October instant, to prevent a meet-
ing to be held on the next day, too late for the purposes
of due caution, and especially too late for him to warn the
citizens of Dublin of the impending peril.'"
which was carried by a majority of 38 to 9, despite of a
most able and sarcastic speech by Alderman Butt; the
discussion, however, shews that after all, the charges of
insult and illegality which the learned gentleman was to
have established, have deviated down to this; not that
what the Government did was illegal, and was an insult,
hut that it ought to have been done long before, which is
just what almost every conservative journal in the king-
dom has been dinning into their ears for the last six
months ; in the meantime, in proportion as the agitators
find their hold upon the affections of the people vitally as-
sailed, so they redouble their efforts to excite. Notwith-
standing the tranquil aspect of affairs, the military pre-
cautions which have been taken in order to prevent any
sudden outbreak, are not in the slightest degree relaxed

if they do not satisfactorily account for their absence their
pensions will be •stopped. Three half-pay officers have
been struck off the list for joining the repeal movement.
SUNDAY EVENING, OCT. 22.
Nothing of moment has transpired in the city during
the day. Two meetings were held to express confidence
in the liberator ; one of the post-office ward, and the other
of St. Patrick's, at which resolutions were adopted to ad-
dress the legislature on the rights of petition for the re-
dress of grievances, and also of implicit reliance on the
dictates of the liberator. To-morrow the new grand Con-
ciliation Hall is to he opened ; the chair to be taken by
Augustus John O'Neill, Esq. of Bomowen Castle, re-
cently a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, and for-
merly Tory M.P. for Hull. If the proceedings should
prove interesting you may expect to hear from me by the
late mail to-morrow night, and at all events I shall send
you a sketch by the early mail.

DANIEL O'CONNELL AND THE REPEAL
ASSOCIATION.

The following intelligence was communicated to us
by express, from our own col respondent, at an early hour
on Tuesday morning last, and published before eight
o'clock in our Second Edition :

DUBLIN, Monday, 16th Oct. 1843
Two o'clock, p.m.

Mr. O'CoNNEr.t. returned to town this morning from
Glencullun, about nine miles from Dublin, the seat of
his son-in-law, C. Fitzsimon, Esq., whither he pro-
ceeded on Saturday evening to enjoy the mountain breezes
yesterday.
This morning's Freeman's Journal announces the
usual weekly meeting of the National Repeal Association,
to be held at the Corn Exchange, at one o'clock, and
that the Liberator will attend. It set forth the nature of
the informations which have been sworn, and which are
so voluminous that they have not yet been furnished to
Mr. O'Connell, though copies have been ordered to be
given to him with the utmost despatch.
Among other charges set forth in the informations
against the Liberator, and upon which special counts
will, it is presumed, be framed, are the following :—Levy-
ing money off the Queen's subjects—levying money off
persons the subjects of foreign governments, for the pur-
poses of intimidation, and for the better advancement of
seditious intents—assumption of prerogative in instituting
courts of law. Also for seditiously and malignantly con-
spiring to and with each other to endeavour to seduce her
Majesty's subjects in the Army and Navy from their
allegiance to the throne, with conspiring to establish
courts in order to supercede the courts of justice as esta-
blished by law, and with an attempt to overturn
toe constitution as established, under the pretext of
seeking for a repeal of the legislative union.
A host of other allegations were made, and sundry so-
called seditious speeches set forth, but the only precise
information we have as yet been able to obtain regarding
this extraordinary and interesting document, is contained
in the above.

It is presumed that the informations against the other
gentlemen are nearly similar to those against Mr. O'Cou-

I send you a full report of the proceedings this day at the
LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION
The avenues leading to the Corn Exchan

densely crowded long before one o'clock. The chair
was taken by John Augustus O'Neill, Esq., of Run-
owen Castle, county Galway, formerly M.P. for Hull,
of dragoons ; and subsequently a deputy -
I magistrate, both of which offices he re-

lieutenant

The CH AIRMAN said, that when he heard of the arrest
of O'Connell and his son, he was determined that O'Neill
should not be backward in sharing the post of honour and
of peril. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)
He proceeded to explain the grounds of his conviction
that repeal was necessary for Ireland, and was discussing
the subject of federal legislation when, at one o'clock
precisely, the Liberatorentered the meeting, accompanied
by his sons, the Member for Kilkenny, and Daniel
O'Connell, jun., upon which the entire assembly rose,
and the cheering was kept up for several minutes. He
(Mr. O'N.) deprecated the use of the word Saxon as a term
of reproach, and said that all that was good and favour-
able to liberty in the British constitution was handed
down from the Saxon—the evil was introduced by the
Normans (hear, hear). He would go from that chair to
the dungeon, and from the dungeon to the scaffold rather
than admit that he was deterred from seeking right and
justice by the insulting

resence of troops and artillery
ering). The soldier in Russia was a mere
machine—a fire-lock upon legs (laughter). The French
soldiers were armed and disciplined citizens. No men
knew better where the duty of the soldier ended, and that
of the citizen commenced (hear, hear). He trusted our own
soldiery would never forget the distinction (loud cheers).
We observed seated at the end of the reporter's table,
Inspector Maher, who took a note in a book when any
one of " the conspirators" rose to speak.
After subscriptions had been banded in from various
places,
Mr. O'CoNNELL said—He would; at the conclusion of
his remarks, move that their present chairman be re-
quested to act as chairman on Monday, at the meeting
which would be held in the Conciliation Hall, which
would then be ready for that purpose. (Hear, hear.).
He also promised that for the future he (Mr. O'Connell)
and he trusted the association also, would give up the
word " Saxon," as it was calculated to give offence.—
(Hear, hear.) When they first used the term (and it
should be recollected that the only phrase in Irish to ex-
press the word Englishman, was " Sassenach")—Lord
Stanley was very angry, and they used it ten times more
on that account at the time. The use of it was sub-
sequently revived when they were branded as aliens in
language, in blood, and religion, by Lord Lyndhurst,
and it had been pretty freely applied ever since; 'but he
now promised that for the future the word should not pass
his lips, or if it inadvertently fell from him at any time,
he would immediately retract it. (Hear, hear.) Having
denied that the people were obnoxious to the charge of
disloyalty, but, on the contrary, entitled to the greatest
praise for their strict obedience to the laws, Mr. O'Con•
nell came to the topic of a federal parliament. In the
corporation debate on repeal, he had declared his willing-
ness to accept a federal parliament, and instanced Canada,
where such a parliament had done much good. Since then
many persons had joined that association, who went no fur-
ther than a federal union, and he had lately received a letter
from a gentleman of high distinction in England on the
subject, in which his (Mr. O'Connell's) attention was
directed to two points, concerning which the writer be-
lieved it to be of the greatest importance that the people
of England should have correct information before they
would join generally or extensively with that association—
(hear.) The first point was, that it should be shown to
the people of England that Irishmen, in seeking for the
restoration of a parliament to their country, strove only to
procure for themselves the management of their own local
and internal affairs, leaving matters of national importance
to both countries to be legislated upon by representatives
from both countries in the imperial legislature. The
next point was that Englishmen should be satisfied that
as they co-operated with Irishmen, so Irishmen should
assist Englishmen in their struggle to obtain a full,
fair, and -free representation—(hear, hear, hear.) He
(Mr. O'Connell) would meet such propositions in the
spirit in which they were put forward, and he told
that gentleman that, if a sufficient number of the Eng-
lish people came forward, there would be no difficulty in
arranging repeal on the definite terms mentioned by him.
(Hear, hear.) Let him not be taunted with shrink-
ing when he accepted these terms, for by doing so, they
not only took away all argument from their enemies, but
merely followed a course to which the association was
already pledged be the admission of the Catholic Bishop
of Killaloe, and other gentlemen, on the same terms.
(Hear, hear, hear.) The change of which they were on
the eve, must be bloodless and sinless. He had ascer-
tained, by a series of monster meetings, that the people
were peaceable and determined to obey the law. Acting
on the advice of Grattan, who, declared that repeal was
impossible—the national voice was clearly ascertained to
be in favour of it. Ile had ascertained that voice so far
in peace and quietness, and if the proclamation had not
been issued he should have gone on as quietly to the end.
He had been told the day before that he should be pre-
vented from addressing that meeting to-day, but he re-
plied that that could not be, because he was the auxiliary
of the government in preaching peace. If the government
were to interfere with him in that room, would it not be
said that, having failed to irritate the people by the Clon-
tarf proclamation, they wanted to do so by arresting the
man who preached, peace ? Therefore he was there to
preach peace.
The Repeal rent was then announced to be £1,232, and
the meeting was adjourned to Monday next (yesterday),
when the Conciliation Hall will be ready for use.

THE REPEAL CRISIS: FRESH PROSECUTIONS

We learn that informations have been sworn against
Mr. O'Connell and others, on account of the proceedings
at Clifden, in the county of Galway, at the "monster
meeting" held there on Sunday, the 17th of September,
Lord Ffrench in the chair. The information sworn by
James Ireland, sub-inspector of constabulary, sets forth
that the meeting was attended by Daniel O'Connell,
Thomas Steele, Dr. Gray, and Thomas Dillon Browne,
with many others,—that the last-named gentleman, ad-
dressing the meeting, said, " This is s glorious demon-
stration that would strike terror into Peel and Welling-
ton." Speaking of Mr. D'Arcy, a magistrate of the
county, and proprietor of the soil, Mr. Browne applied
the terms, " Paltry miscreant and contemptible wretch."
The meeting was composed of about ten thousand per-
sons, one thousand of whom were on horseback, arranged
in military order, and moved according to orders.
Mr. O'Connell, addressing the meeting, said, " He
could not but admire the regularity with which the cavalry
defiled in the rear. Little business the English cavalry
would have in following them over the mountain. Had
they not ready arms to assist him, if necessary ? He
would make Ireland a nation."

THE GOVERNMENT PROSECIITIONS.—The informa-
tion upon which Mr. Justice Burton issued his war-
rant for the arrest of the nine repealers now under
recognizances is extremely lengthy. The information
is sworn by Mr. Frederick Bond Hughes, one of the short-
hand writers connected with Mr. Gurne
ge were I in London. The document

is of great length ; but it is
not to be supposed that it eontsins the whole. or even any
considerable portion of the evidence that will be adduced
on the approaching trials. The purpose of such informa-
tion is merOy to lay before the magistrate to whom it is
presented sufficient grounds for the issuing of a warrant,
and it is with a view to enabling him to dispute the valid-
ity of the warrant that a late act entitles a party arrested
to a copy of the information. All this, however, has
nothing to do with the issue upon the trial in court, which
trial might indeed be had after an indictment found, with-
out any of these preliminary forms.

" MANY A TRUE WORD SAID IN JEST."—The follow-
ing appears in a prominent part of the Dublin Freeman's
Journal, with all the collateral advantages derivable from
large types, double leads, and the various other resources
of the printing-office, which it were vain to attempt de-
scribing to the uninitiated, to whom it would appear as
" Heathen Greek" :

" (ADVERTISEMENT.)
" THE NEXT MONSiTER MEETING

" The next monster meeting is to be held at Newgate.
The head pacificator will take the chair. Gentlemen
anxious to be present will please apply for tickets of ad-
mission at the Council-chamber, Dublin Castle, or to the
office of the Crown Solicitor, 40, Kildare-street. Early
application will be neceszary, the number of tickets being
limited. " T. D—GRAY, Secretary,"
There cannot be a doubt of Mr. O'Connell's being accom-
modated with lodgings in Newgate, for two years at the
least ; and therefore it is not at all improbable that the
hopes held out in the foregoing advertisement may be
realised to the full extent, and the adage of " many a true
word said in jest " be verified to the-letter.

WALES

STATE OF SOUTH WALES

On Thursday night week a party of persons calling I
themselves Rebeccaites p:oceeded to a cottage at St.
Clear's, eight miles from Swansea, knocked up the man,
named James Thomas, who resided in it, who has but one
arm, told him he had lived for a long time in a poor cot-
tage, and he should have a better residence. They then,
to the great terror of his wife, compelled her to assist in
packing up all her furniture, which they placed in a cart
at the door, and then carried the man, his wife, and furni-
ture, to a toll. house of a gate called Pwlltrapgate, which
was demolished a few days ago, the toll-house being un-
occupied. They unloaded the man's furniture, and put it
into the house, and told him to remain there, and not go
away at his peril, and that he was not to take any toll.
The mob of people then proceeded to the house of Mr.
Bevnon, the magistrate, fired a number of shots through
his windows, and stuck the following notice on the door-
post of his house :

" Rebecca hereby gives you notice, that if you attempt
to dismiss James Thomas, now in possession of the house
that formerly belonged to the Pwlltrap turnpike-gate, you
will be remembered in future time; and any one doing so
will be dragged to pieces between four horses."

This notice was sent with 4d. to the clerk of Bethany
Chapel there, with an order to him to publish it in the
chapel on Sunday. Mr. Beynon was not at home at the
time, but on his return be found eleven slugs, which had
been fired through his.bedroom windows, lying on his bed.
What makes this act appear more daring is the fact that a
strong party of the 4th Light Dragoons are stationed in
the town of St. Clear's. Since this transaction some of
the Metropolitan Police have been sent there.
The same night tc:o wheat ricks were set on fire to in
the neighbourhood of Llangendeirne.
On Sunday night a threatening notice, signed by " Re-
becca," was sent to Mr. Kynaston, of Blaen Corse, near
St. Clear's, by post, stating that if he did not return some
pigs, a calf, and other things, which he had taken as a
composition for a debt which a tenant owed him for the
rent of some cows, let out by Mr. Kynaston at so much
per head by the year, " Rebecca would in a few nights
come and visit him, and he might depend upon it that this
was not words only." In consequence of this notice the
police have instructions to be on the alert.
On Tuesday night two more prisoners were brought
.from the neighbourhood of Llanelly to the county gaol,
Carmarthen, charged with having committed burglaries in
connexion with the Rebecca outrages. The effect of the
dispersion of the London police about the country is be-
ginning to show itself in numerous apprehensions, which
are taking place every day.
On Wednesday a young farmer from the neighbour-
hood of Llandovery was brought to the county gaol in
custody of the dragoons. An auctioneer, named Williams,
of Llandovery, bought an estate, which was to be sold
cheap ; and this farmer, thinking he had got it unfairly,
sent him a threatening letter to give up the title deeds, or
beware of the consequences. The hand-writing of this
farmer Mr. Williams has recognised, and sworn to, and
he has in consequence been apprehended.
