the terminus of repeal agitation. Mr.. Grace, Alder
man of the Linen Hall Ward, presided on the occa-
sion, but only about 600 persons present, and
the addresses were remarkably moderate Mr. j..
O'Connell,M p, boosted that he was consPrator,
and avowed that even should incarceration IN the
Dublin Newgate Tor life, be his doom, he would, In
the mean time, and until so convicted, continue to
agltate. He said he had question TO put tn them
from his father, and that question was. "dd The pro-
ceedings OF government alarm themW When this
question was put the answer" no, no." with loud
and long continued cheers was given by all present.
He alluded to the talked OF arrival OF 20 600 Hano-
verian troops in Ireland, in order TO keep them in
order; but he added, ''let them come, and he thought
the king "a goose) and his men, would get rather
too much of plucking to please them. Perhaps
there would not be feather left" Several other
gentlemen, amongst whom was DIR. Gray, addressed
the meeting, which, however, gradually became
smaller, IN consequence OF succession OF showers
OF hail. The notion OF sending Hanoverlan troops
to Ireland has PROFESSIONALLY been entertained, but
the moderate portion of the conservative party ad
nit, with the Times, that the HGnoverans might
irritate, gall, the Irish people, but they
could not subdue them
Amongst some of the wild and mad FRANKS of Mr..

The Crown Solicitor took the necessary steps tor
obtaining all requisite dispositions, and obtained the
warrants for the arrest OF the accused. When these
proceedings were completed, the Crown Solicitor
addressed note on the ID inst. to Mr.. OConne
stating that charge of conspiracy and other mis-
demesnors having been brought before him, and In.
formation having been sworn to before Mr.. Justice
Burton he the Crown Solicitor, requested him to
state when it would be convenient to enter into

complied with. As there appeared to be some he
station the part of the Agltater, he was remind
ed that no delay could occur, and that al O'Clock
on that day, the IA h, himself, his son, and their
bail, would be expe ced to be present at the house

well as on retiring therefrom. OConnell shook
hands with the Judge, and appeared TO be IN toera-

mind. The Judge spoke of Indifferent subjects.-
The spectators in his Lordships house respect
full and even the mob in the street, collected toge-
Their to behold the .otie of the accused and their
friends, were extraordinarily cold and unimpressed.
At the hour of 5 a letter from O'Connell !" to the
people Of Ireland" was published in third edition
of "Ihe Weekly Freeman f."
The address, and indeed the whole proceedings,
treated less agitation than could have been expect
ed; for If it had been predicted that day month that
on the I4th October O'Conne ard his son, and the
other chief agitators for repeal would be under ar
rest, and compelled to find bail in heavy amount,
it would have been replied by ninety nine persons
out OF every hundred, "Then we shall have re-
bellion." But that prophecy would have been
wholly incorrect, for, except good de al of talking
and small portion OF excitement, the event has
passed off with the least possible confusion Ii is
sad however that il O'Conne,l had not been treat
ed with great consideration and respect, or any
attempt had been made to convey HIM to prison,
not all the troops in Ireland would have sufficed TO
put down the rebellion which then would have &C.
cured.

TO myself, and dated Monday last, says" Do lot
