lICnnnel Arrested.

By the l,te arrivals from England. we learn that
O'Connel and eight Of hi, sdherents hsve been ar.
rested by the B sh GDvernmen, O'Conne and |
his son gave bail for their appearance at the next
term, to answer for seditious language. O'Connel
has requested bis friends to remain quiet, end as
serts that this proceeding will only strengthen the
cause Of Repeal. The following ex,rac, Of letter
from England, however, presents different view
Of the case:-
"The stock.markc,, which has been general.
ly quiet, has been much strengthened by the
bursting Of the Repeal bubble and the arrest Of
Daniel OConnel, which has given additional
confidence in the present ministry. The cause
of this sudden interference by the Government,
! was that the Repeal Council, in their orders
for another Monster Meeting at Contart gave
| their instructions in so military fashion thut
| the authorities felt it necessary to issue a
| proclamation torbiddng the assemblage OF peo-
/ pie at Clontarf-sending this Proclamation by
a sufficient military force to prevent any resist
| ance. This Proclamation alarmed the LIBERIA
tor and his confederates, who Immediately is
| sued their Proclamation advising the people TO
90 home. This they did quietly cnough-and
the next day Mr.. O'Connel began to explain
away much that he said at previous meetings :;
/ but this did not stop the authorities, who ISSUED
! their warrants for the apprehension Of the learn
/ ed Agitatur, two Of his sons, and several other
| prominent Repealers, on a charge of conspira.
cy. Bail has since been taken for them to ap-
pear early in November to take their trials. All
this has been received very quietly hy the Re-
pealers and the people o: the counry--no eX-
cit emcnt, no riots, all very quiet-all ofwhich
is sufficiently Notifying to the sympathzers.
Some who boasted of their connection with and
subscriptions to the cause, now dare not whiS-
per the word " Repeal" Mr. OCounel is very
humble, and loses no opportunity of backlng ont
from q II his former positions. No more bully
ing or boastnT Of the armies he could raise 10
render Ireland once more Nation. All this
is over; nav, mOrc--he has abandoned Repeal
is willing to forget the c-nnd now offers
to ally himself with the English Chartists-to
procure Universal Suffrage for thcm and a
Federal Parliament for Ireland. Federalism
is TO be the new nnme-Repea is ont oftaShion
rent is to be continued as usual, if he can get it,
So much for the great Lberator. 1t is now 70
be seen what the Government will do with the
rest of the faction There is much reason to be
grateful that the poor deluded multitude have
been saved from any sacrifice in the service OF
this most selfish politician Let us hope he
will be glcd to retire into ohScurlty with his ill.,
cotton wenlth,nnd be forgotten"
