 ARREST OF MIR O'CoNNELL.-Wep par ticularly regret that the space we have in re- serve this week precludes the possibility of offering such remarks upon the arrest of MT O'Connell and some of his associates as na- turally arise from such extraordinary pro- ceedings. Circumstanced as we are, we must necessarily bevery brief. We have elsewhere ventured to express the opinion that the re- cent conduct of the Irish Government appears to us to exhibit more zeal than prudence. If the government had not forcibly suppressed the meetings of the anti Unionists, time might speedily have arrived when they could, with more propriety and justice, have resort ed to their proclamaticns and arrests. MT O'Connell is frebrand, but frebrand is harmless where combustible materials are not at hand. The inhammabe ingredient is a long protected system of fmusrule which has goaded s whole nation to the verge of despair and revolt, and the Government ought not, in our opinion, thus abruptly to have closed the safety valve of constitutional discussion and remonstrance. They should have recollect- ed the saying of Swift, that there was no na- ton on earth where the subject was not per- mitted to roar as loudly as he pleased when put to the rack.
 .drrest Of Nh. O'ConneH, 11,. Steele, NIr Barret, Mr John Reynolds and lNr Lagviess, on q charge of conshiring 10 evade the froc- idmation act.-On Tuesday morning, the house of MT O'Connell, in Marion square, was visited by MT Farrel, Chief Constable, and Peace-officer Irwin, who, upon being ad- mitted to that gentleman's presence, stated that they had warrant against hin, issued from the Head-ofice, on d charge of conspi- racy to evade the proclamations recently pro- mulgated by the Lord Lieutenant. After a long conversation, which we have not space to notice, MT O'Connell entered into the re- quisite securities, himself in 100i. and two se- curities in 500k. each. MT Barret, MT Steele, MT Reynolds and MT Lawless were all serv- ed with the same processes, and all gave ball.
 We shall offer no decided opinion on this proceeding, until we know something more of the nature of the alleged offence. At pre- sent it appears to us that the Irish Govern ment have shewn more zeal than discretion in the affair.

 We received last night Hamburg papers to the l4th January. Thc accounts from Po- land, professing to give an account of the feelings of the people, are evidently deserv- ing of little credit. It would appear that movements are taking place in Harover, as well as other parts of Germany. The fol- lowing are extracts:
 WARSAW, Jan. GA letter from Brespol of the 23rd of December, says" Twice as many soldiers are being levied in Russia as was at first ordered.
 "Thc subscription for the equipment of persons unable to bear the expenses them selves amounts to 1000 Polish forins. Sixty Jewish families have given together 28, ,4O5 f1orins. Princess Alexandria Sophia has sent ,000 forins, and declared at the same time, that if necessary, she would give her whole fortune to the county. Prince Adams Car turiski has again sent 50,000 Polish aorins, and others have sent large sums.
 HAMBURG, January 4.-Some disturbances have taken place at Gottingen and Osierrode, in the kingdom of Hanover, which, is far as one can judge from the oracular and hot very ineligible accounts published in the papers, have been suppressed for the present. At Gottingen, however, declaration by which the parties themselves were to form Ma tional Guard, and humbly to petition he King to grant them representative Govtrnment, with genuine and uncontrolled elections, has received 2G00 signatures of the inhabitants, and 500 of the students. The existing con- stitution of Hanover, though an important concession, when made, has been at all times y,o boI not Sfak en rf ft<r oligarchical character.
