FROM ENGLAND.

The most important news by this arrival is the ar
rest OF Mr. OConncl the celebrated Irish pat riot.

nued and dis event is by no means calculated to al

.lFress u Mr.. q CoRneH.--We particularly regret
tia the space have III reserve this week prscudes
the possibility OF offering such remarks upon the ar
rest o! Mr. Connel and some of his associates, as
naturally rise from such extraordinary proceedings
Circumstanced are, we must necessarily be
very brief We have elsewhere ventureG to express
the opinion that the recent conduct OF the Irish Go
fcrnmelt appears to to exhibit moro zeal than
prudence If the Government had not forcibly sup
pressed the meetings Of the apti Unionsts tins
might speedily have arrived when they could, with
morc proPrie,y and justice, have resor:ed to their
Yroc,amdtons and arrests. Mr. y Council IS fire
brand but firebrand is ha mless where combustlble

Goaded whole nation to the verge Of despair aud
revolt, and the Government ought not, in our opin-
thus abruptly to have closed the safety valve Of
he constitutional discussion and rcnonst-ance
They should have reco'lec,ed the saying of Swift,
that there was no nation on earth where the subject
Was not permitted TO as loudly Is he pIeassd
when put TO the rack.
