Mr.. O'Connel continued his repeal agitation un.
I'll the 26h ult, when he left the Cancellation Hall
gentlemen TO manage the business IN his absence,
while he took his seat In Parliament to advocate
the abolition OF the corn laws, and vote tor cheap
bread. Prior to leaving Dublin there was meet
ing of repeal members OF parliament. This meeting
was held at Radey's Commercial Buildings, the I'D
ult. Mr.. OConnell opened the business by asking
if there were any gentleman present who was pre-
pared to support the views OF the Dublin Euening
Mail, with regard to the formation OF an Irish
Party" II there were any SUCH person present let
complied with, the hon. gentleman said, that that
part OF the business being disposed OF, 1t remained
TOR them TO consider what course the irish members
ought to purse under existing circumstances. For
his part he determined to proceed to parliament
and give his voice in favor OF removal OF all re.
stnctious on food, and to oppose any coercion bill
that might be introduced unless accompanied by re-
medal measures. Mr.. w. s. O'Brien, M. r., did
not consider it expedient just to attend in Par
lament, believing that he would be OF more benefit
to his country by acting In Conciiatlonal Hall Ii,
however, the government attempted to pass any Pc
nal enactment, he would feel bound to go over to
London, and give it every opposition which the
forms OF the House admitted, unless, as Mr.. OCon-
nell observed, 1t were accompanied BY measures OF
real, substantial, and undoubted benefit With re-
gard to the corn laws, he (Mr O'Brien) was not
prepared TO vote for their total and immediate re-
peal. The Queens speech having arrived, was
read, and Mr.. OConnell then moved the following
resolution, which was adopted -" That the Irish
members going over to London do hereby pledge
themselves to oppose to the utmost all government
coercve measures which shall be brought forward,
ifthey are not accompanied by measures calculated
TO settle the differences between landlords and ten
ants in Ireland"

Our advices from Berlin are to 23d January.
Matters are pretty much as usual, and nothing
particular is stirring The old tale is again being
repeated that the King of this country will certain
y, some hne morning, astonish us by the gift OF
constitution IL is said TO be drawn up, and only TO
await the royal signature. But for that fear II will
have TO wait very long time. IL seems rather
strange, 1t the King has the slightest intention OF
giving the Compromised constitution, that he should
demand OF the government Of Frankfort the aboli-
ton Of the liberty of the press as he has DONE for
constitution without Liberty Of the press would be
like a body without life. But repeat again, in OPP
position TO all that has been, is, and may be said,
that MIR. Frederick William has no more intention
OF according constitution TO his people than he has
OF selling oil his crown and sceptre, and setting up
in business as a shoemaker.
The govemmenthas the intention of putting down
all gambling places, and other governments Of this
country intend to do the same. II is fact, howe
yer, that two or three of petty princes, whose
kingdoms are hardly bigger than good sized farm,
derive their principal means OF subsistence from
thorising gambling houses
