FURTHER PARTICULARS.

BY THE LATE ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
Mr.. O'Connell is in London, where he
was to be complimen,ed with public din
ner, at the Covent Garden theatre, on the

bcrs of Parliament were TO be present.
The Government was constantly sending
arms and ammunition into Ireland.
Gen. Bertrand was inferred by the side

There was most destructive fire at Man

The organization of pensioners in Ire

5000 are already enrolled.
Mr.. Everett is now in correspondence
with Lord Stanley, the colonial Secretary,
upon the Oregon territory question. The
American Minister has had several inter-
views with his lordship at the Colonial Of
flee.
Parliament has been very busy ~ doing
nothing" There has been much tax, but
no business done. Nine nights were con-
sumed in fruitless discussion upop the
condition Of Ireland. The debate was
brought up by Lord John Russell, introdu-
eng q resolution calling upon the Govern
ment for the immediate adoption of mea-
sures for the amelioraiion of the condition
of the people of Ireland. As display Of
eloquence the debate proved most success
full, but the result was rejection of the
resolution; and triumph for the ministry,
although all the speakers including Sir Ro-
bert Peel thought it highly necessary that
something should be DONE Mr.. O'ConnelI
was present during the debate. and made
a very eloquent appeal in behalf of his
country.

nold weekly meetings at the Covent Garden
theatre, in London, and have gatherings
IN DINER parts of the country almost daily,
but the speeches made at these assemblagas
attrac: but little attention, being drowned
by the importance of the parliamentary
proceedings.
CONVICTION OF o'CoNNELL
Well the Irish trials have at length been
concluded, and each of the traversers has
been found guilty of the charge preferred
against him by the Government, out as yet
the country is ignorant of the mode or ca
tent of punishment to be notwithstanding
being deferred until the next term. In the
mean time thousand ramors and specula.
tons are hazardcd, as to what effect the
trial will have upon the condition of Ireland
and the future movement of the RepeaIers.
Some incline 20 the belief that no pun
Ishment will be inflicted, and contend that
the moral effect, on that account, be grea-
ter than the greatest-that the government,
in insttutng the prosecutions, did so. not
so much with the intention Of punishment.
as to try The Legality OF the Repeal Meet
ings, and having succeeded in obtaining
verdict, are content TO pass over what has
already occurred, being in a position 10
stop at once any further proceedlngs.-
Others contend that the conduct of O'Con-
nell during the next few months will de-
termine the question of punishment-that
if mild and subdned in his tone, no further
notice will be taken of the matter. But al,
these opinions are merely speculative.
In the mean time Mr.. O'Connell has, on
behalf of himself and his companions, pro-
tested against the verdict, and has intima-
ted that SO soon as sentence shall have been
passed, he will have the matter submitted
to the whole body of Judges in Ireland, and
that if their decision should be unfavorable,
he will appeal TO The House Of Lords, be-
fore he will submit.

Of the effects of the late exposition of the
law of conspiracy by the Attorney-G General
of ireland, and which was confirmed bv The |
finding of the jury, has been, that the pro
prietors OF the Dublin Repeal papers have
formally sent in their resignation as mem
bers Of the Repeal Association. This will
be joyful intelligence to the proprietors of
provincial papers Of similar poliiicts, most
of which were literally swamped in their
circulation by the gratuitous distribution |

MILITARY OCCUPATION OF IRELAxp.-l
The provincial journals continue their no.
tce of the conveyance of large quantities
of arms and ammunition to the different
garrison towns, in pursuance of the sys-
tenn of military occupation Of the country:
the tory mode of governing Ireland in the
century. There are two war
steamers. the Tartarus and the Stromboli,
guarding the Kerry caost. The officers,
having nothing else to do, have, as we
learn from the Kerry Examiner, been
passing their time very agreeably at balls
and pleasure parties amongst the gentry
IN that vicinity.
