0 HS O ' _COSSELL ASD THE IRISH _L-AO'JE—THE CJ . _N . KBKEATSS ' M-SIING—A SIXOS FIELD DAT—THEP . UCE ASD C 0 XFKDERATK 3 . ( From our own _C-rm-oondonU Dublin , 2 Sth _Jcrs . John O'Connell is not inclined to be reconciled to the secedera of the Irish Confederation , nor—no matter wh-. t he may assert to the contrary—do J think he is disposed to allow ihe . sK-usios of Irishmen so far as he can go to prevent it . lo _™ eure he _pro-msee to offer no obstacle in the way ot _reconion
ciliation _, asd he-avs he will resign his _conner . with the Repeal _Assoeiation . and retire , nolens voms Vom political life ; but _pmmists always came easy to the Clan O'Connell , and though he preiende to abdicate the rostrum at Burgb _^ _nay _. he stil I cings to it . Iode-d John O'Connell has incurred the oblo quy and hatred of almost every man in Ireland who has brains eneugh to form an opinion , or moral courses enoug h to express what he feels . His hurabU _* ' will go dawn no more , lie meat not stand in the way ofthe people as a mediator between an infuriate " nation and their _oppressors .
The meeticc at the Music-hall en last _Wednesday _evenin _? was nia 2 nificent , b » yond anything of the sort which you over the channel can imagine . There was no falling eff there , and though the Confederate Club did not go there in their military array , tkere was _Ecarcsly a man of them irom their post . The enthusiasm was extreme , but not the vapid , insipid bravalo of 1 S 43—not the blow-hot-and cold rigmarole of c _. _wards , who Whilst willing to wcun' _1 , _~ _re yet afraid to strike , ' but it was the spirit , the _feeling of men , that came forth on that evenine : —" - men who are trained in political knowledge . Such was the description or men who formed the sreat meetins at the Music-hall .
The chief speaker was the Rev . . Mr _O'Mailey , who delivered one of the raos . effective am beautiful addresses I have ever _lii . envd to , even in this city of Speech-making . Father O'Malley thinks Irieb prcsferity a _go-oi _thinr , and Irish land well worth 'figh'in _^ for . ' ile loves peace , aod he never .-eases to preach'Good will amoni * st men , ' but he feels that manhood and Cbristiauity are not _lncompatib . e ; that it is not _nece _^ arv to remain a crawling starveling , to ensure eternal _hippineis ; and that a man can he down very ea ; v in conscience , _though he have a sturdy p ike at ' his bed ' s _s'd-, or a blunderbuss under his bolster ; at the same time having uj objection to put both to their legitimate purposes in the morning , Bhould his _couctrv require his aid , or sn enemy press too closely on his " quarters ! Thi 3 is tha opinion of the Re 7 . _Tnaddeus _O'Maliey : this opinion he does not shrink from _promulgatine-, and that , too , in the most chaste , and earnest , and heart stirring _Jangaige .
Charles Gavaa Duffy made a long speech _too , and _meved the di . s . luiiun _, sine die , of tbe Irish Confederation , in _secon-iing which _resol-tnii , the Rev . . Mr O'Maliey delivered kis powerful lecture . Mr Duffy hss weak lungs , and a voice somewhat shrill and tremulous , but still he is a delightful speaker . He is calm , _deliberate , and cool , and yet on _occasions glowing , eloquent . aDd impassioned . lie is always well received by his auditors . _Tnos . D'Arcy M Gee is another favourite speaker at the Confederate meetings . He is a very young man , though I believe he has ' _gsen the world , ' and had a connexion for a considerable time with the patriotic _pre 3 _. of America . He is very slight in _figure , not above five feet six inches in height ; of a pale complexion , and feminine features . He speaks , _hiwever , _vrell enough for a giant , and many ofthe _bestarticl-. s in the Natios n-wspaper are from bfc pen . He is a great favourite ¦ with the Dnblin Car federates .
Richard _O'G . rman and J . B . Dillon ara favourite and prominent member-of the Confederation , too . The _Confederation was dissolved , or rather _adjoarned sine die , and that meeting was probably the last of that manly bedy . However , if there be no "Uxios—if the projected Irish League cannot bo formed—the Confederation will be revived , and set on a firmer and better footing than ever . No matter who come 3 _forward or who holds back , the Confederation will flourish ; Cork-hill ar . d Burgh Quay will be tenanted by houe-tcr men and appropriaied to ho _ e 3 ter purposes . Ireland will be a nation , and her children free and _haopy and contented .
Tie ' Saxons' had their annual bravado on last Monday , the _ _" 6 . h ultimo , in the _Phceaix Park . A more dull or spiritless or prosy affair could not be well imagined . These mimic battles seem to have peculiar attractions for the war-loving citizens of Dublin , and the crowds , wbich quittep the dust aad bustle of the city for the greenery of ' The Park , ' on last Monday , wera immense . There came the Earl in gilded chariot ; the Lord Mayor in his bit of of 'gingerbread ; ' the shomen on his ' taite' of * biood ; and titty thousand of the ' lower orders' of idlers on what we over here call 'Shack's Mare' ! An endless band , Poured forth and left unpeople- half tho land , A motley mixture in long wigs and bags , In silks , in crapes , ia gaiters , and in rags .
Tkera they came ' . and what brought them ? Why to swell the Saxon pageant ; to see 5 , 000 redcoats—500 oi whom were net born in 1 S 10!— ' fighting the battle of Waterloo'' to see dashing squadrons of lancers * charging' the _thrawnctns . ' Clouds of _Enni-killen dragoons ' cuttiDg gaashes' at the sultry gun-beams ; and long file 3 and solid squares of infantry driving imaginary foes with the bayonet , and firing endless _voflies of' blank cartridge' at — nothing I It was a great day for the _thimble-riggera and pick-pockets , for they contrived to ' ease many a poor fellow of his pence . 'Twas a hated day with
the luckless red-coats , for they were made to work hard for the amusement of Lord Clarendon , and the nymphs of the ' diamond' and French-streetI and it was a useful day to the Confederates , for they got ( and gratia too , mind you ) eome practical instruction in the _gasae of war , and learned that a _battalion in red jackets are not a whit more terrible than a ' clnb' in grey frieze ; and that however formidable a trained army might be on the flat green surface ofthe ' fifteen acres , ' they would not be invulnerable in the passes of the Tipperary hills or amid the morasses ofthe Connaught bogs .
At the club meeting at Donny brook on yesterday , there were at lea _. t four thousand men assembled in that renowned village , and the audience _wrs addressed by Charles G . Daffy , and Thoma 3 F . Meagher . The enthusiasm was _boundlejs—but here I must stop . I blush to say that the affair did not terminate as pleasantly or as creditably as it began . Such of the City club , as were in attendance , formed & procession on their way homewards , and exhibited a tricolour flag , _mouated on a pike staff . In Lee . on-fi-. ee ., just aa they tntered the city , they were waylaid by a banditti of policemen , who broke their array , captured their banner , arrested some of the fc-reaiost ,- ; and battered thej skulls of several Others with their bludgeons _.
Why , in the name ef common sense , should these _scenes be enacted ? The clubs know well tbat [ _the police are spying—watching their movements—and ordered te harass and annoy them on aU possible occasions . And yet they rushed advisedly and open-monthed into their fangs- Cannot they beadvised , and either refrain marching in processions , or be prepared to repel the attacks of their enemy . If this public array , this ' marching' and 'drilling , ' be contrary to British regulations ( I speak not of law !) they shonld not persevere in them ; if they be not , they should be prepared to break the _hesds , and ' have an eye for an eye , and a tooth for a tooth' of every ruffian who would obstruct them in the performance of a lawful and constitutional practice . But to allow a handful of policemen to trample on thousands ! It is really ridiculous .
THE LEAGUE . Tfce Leaguers are every day receiving new acce _3-eioES to tbeir ranks , while the O'Connell party at _Cono-liation-hall now consists of Mr John O'Connell .
IPJ . H _LAKDIORDISI-. The work of extermination ia proceeding with unabated rigour in Clare , while the Gregory clause ef the Poor-law Bill is rendering most powerful aid to the landlords in their _ornsade against the sub-letting ssd allotment system . Within two miles of the fashionable bathing-place , Kilkes _, nearly 300 human being _, have _neen recently expelled from their homes . Tk & _i-oaiea have been pulled down under the inuaediate inspection ofthe landlords . A correspondent of the Limerick Ex __ - _ 5 Eb states that , in another
district in Clare , called Querin , 136 houses have have been levelled on the property of Mr Burroughs Do jou now wonder that the Kilrush union is in such a _ataie of ruin and hopeless misery—produced in a great measure by these wholesale evictions ? These poor creatures , who have beea evicted from their Iiolding-, entertain a horror of the workhouse , and . would fiufferany privation ere they would become inmates . They Bleep in ditches until sheer want compels them to seek the workhouse , where , in & few days , many of them terminate their mortal career .

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. When The ...
LIBERTY , EQUALITY , FRATERNITY . When the world resounded with the presumed triumph of Labour in Paris and Berlin , manifested in the establishment of a Republic in the one , and the concession of what is termed a free Constitution in the other , we joined , not in the shout of triumph , but in the language of caution . We said " WAIT ! " Wait until we see the reward of the bloodless revolution and triumph of mind over persecution manifested in Labour ' s share ofthe victory .
We told our readers that we had seriously and attentively perused the causes and results of all | previous physical revolutions , and that from none could we discover Labour ' s triumph in aught but the elevation of Labour ' s professing friends , but most perfidious enemies . We have told them , over and over again , that , with the last shot perishes Labour ' s share , while those for whom they have gained the victory have subsequently used them to rob them of their ri » hts .
We predicted that the interval between the proclamation of the Republic and the assembling of the representatives of the National Will , would be spent in lavishing sympathy upon the departed heroes , and promises upon the starving survivors ; and that we have not made an erroneous estimate of the objects of those who led tho people against a tyrannical King , a perfidious Minister , and pampered aristocracy , is now manifest in the blood of those to jfeed whom we were told it was the duty of the State , but whom it has been the pleasure of the State to massacre , butcher , and slaughter .
Let us not be misunderstood in writing , as calmly as our feelings will allow us , upon this sanguinary conflict , incontrovertibly provoked by tiie promoters of the Republic and the abettors of the revolution . Every word spoken , and every line written , every proclamation issued , and every resolution passed , since the appointment of the weakest , the most temporising , and imbecile Provisional Government , has gone to inspire even the willing idler with the belief that he was the child of the State , and that it was the duty of the parent to see , not merely to the preservation of his life , but to his comfortable sustenance and FRATERNAL support .
LIBERTY , EQUALITY , FRATERNITY , was the motto of this blooming representation ofthe middle classes , who had used the workers to dethrone their king , destroy their constitution , and proclaim their own ascendancy . As long as the enthusiastic mind of Paris was dangerous to those who used it for the accomplishment of their own triumph , they pandered to the worst passions of man , and when the
realisation ofthe promised gratuity was looked for they drove the famishing and disappointed to revolution and resistance : and while defending , or rather looking for , the accomplishment of those rights , which the middle class traitors promised , I ut withheld , the blood that was to be enriched with food and raiment is made to flow in the streets , as a warning to the impoverished class that by them revolutions are made and victory achieved , but / or them there is to remain no portion of the benefit .
We are ready to admit the impossibility of a Government performing their necessary duties with barricades upon one _| side , and an open and threatening force upon the other _; but we are also ready to contend that those barricades would never have been raised , that threatening force would never have been presented , had the promises—or one-half of them—held out to the conquerors been realised . Nav , we go further and assert , that if the middle class Assembly had justified the postponement ot those antici pated rights upon the grounds ol insufficient means consenuent uDon tho . v .
pense or the revolution , and" the unsettled state ot trade—that , in such case , the heroes of _February , who gained the Republic , and the greater heroes of June , who sought to defend the Republic to the end that its promised objects might be realised , would have waited _patiently , and would have borne theiifl sufferings as the reward of their triumph ., ' _«—" R- * _~ — -

But how different is the picture ? In February they foug ht and conquered ; from February till May the traitors prepared tlieir machinery for the destruction , ofthe Republic while they buoyed the p oor with the hope of their share ofthe reward . In May , the machinery is complete , and from May to the Massacre , ever aet of those hypocrites , with
LIBERTY , EQUALITY , FRATERNITY , upon their tongues , establishes the fact that the Republic was gained by the valour , the courage , and the resolution of LABOUR , but is to be app lied to the benefit of CAPITAL . Could not the French worker take & lesson from our parliamentary precedents ? Were they not aware that our revolution of 1832 , whimsically called the Reform Bill , was carried
by precisely the same means , while the results were of a completely similar character . Thf King ' s Head turned upside down , was carried in triumph by the would-be executioner carrying his axe , while the motto of the officers was , " Taxation without representation is tyranny , and should be resisted . " The aristocracy were destructives , and their usurped rights and privileges should be destroyed , in order to afford these demagogues an opportunity of doing justice to the labourer .
Well , the King surrendered , the aristocracy was shaken , and the middle classes proclaimed their triump h in the return of a Whig P'li'Jm ment—|„ , t where was Labour ' s share ? In the suppression of Political Unions , in the enactment of the Poor Law Bill , in Coercion , Persecution , and Gagging Bills ; in the reduction oi wages ; in the desolation of the cottage ; the moan ofthe hungry ; the wail ofthe indigent ; the death of the pauper , and the elevation of the middle class ; and to which may be added , the total suppression of that voice relied upon in 1832 as the main engine ofthe Reformers . We have more than once pointed out the worse than folly of allowing any interval to take place between the destruction of one system , and
the substitution of another . We have shown that that interval has been invariably devoted to the arrangement of those means by which the officers , not the men—the leaders , not the peop le—shall be recipients of all the promised benefits . And although our own savage Press calls the disappointed , who contended for their share of the triumph of February , barbarians , savages , murderers , and brutes , yet if their own soldiers , specials , and bludgeon-men , in an onslaught against their own people had behaved with one-tenth part of the noble courage evinced by the operatives of Paris , they would be designated as valiant heroes , and brave conquerors .
What is courage ? Is it not that valour , resolution , and action , manifested in the support of a cause in which men have associated , upon the presumption that wrong and injustice has been done to ; them ? or is it that conventional bravery which impels the mercenary to fire upon his fellow-man , in the hope of promotion , or from the dread of punishment ? Then we would ask , who were in reality the promoters of this brutal and sanguinary conflict ? Those in power , who held out false hopes , which were never realised—or those from whom
the hope was withheld , and who were thereby driven to madness , desperation , and vengeance ? While their toleration was required to strengthen the hands of their false friends , they were employed on sill y work , making pantaloons , and shirts , and fringe , and decorations , and baubles , and toys ¦ but when the enemy found themselves strong enough , and poor enough , no longer to require or bear this toleration , and when their machinery was
completed , they said to their tickled and fasci nated slaves , " Go from among us , you are none of our children , from jour workshops no longer comes the sustaining breath of faction ; go to the country , leave the scene of your greatness , rescued from despotism by yonr valour ; here is your walking ticket , this is your passport , go and find a location where you can -, the harvest is blooming , and there will be work for you in other fields ; you have completed that of revolution in the capital . ' '
The heroes ot rebruary answer , "What ! Have you used us thus to abuse us ? Have we rid you of your expensive Court , of your perfidious Government , and proclaimed your ascendancy with our blood , and is our share but a change of masters ? From one tyrant to many oppressors ? No ! ' ' "They who die by the sword are better than they who perish from hunger , for tlieir bodies pine away , stricken through for want of the fruits of the field !" " No we will not go from amongst you , we will not leave tiie scene of our glory . We gained the battle and we will reap its fruits , or we will perish in defending them . '
1 he i heroes have perished , and , in order to ; add a stigma upon the legion , all are designated as . Communists and Socialists , whereas , when it was necessary to establish confidence in the country , w ' e were told that the Communists and Socialists constituted but an insignificant frac tion of society , whereas , ' . now that discredit is to be thrown upon their cause , their name is Legion , and all are of that persuasion . Thus
it has ever been with those that mark the mind ' s _progress . First they nre designated as an insignificant fraction , until drive ., to desperation ; they are proclaimed as the whole people when it is necessary to repudiate their combined exertion . The moral that we draw from this bloody onslaught of the middle classes u pon the choused , the juggled , the deluded , and . betrayed labourers of Paris is , that governments are ever compelled to surrender to fear what they refuse to justice .
When a people achieve a change by revolution , they become enthusiastic , elevated , and commanding , and refuse to accept treble what they would have gladly received at the hands of justice and whicii would not amount to one-tenth ' of what the revolution might have cost . Men , if fostered by the state and encouraged by the state , will cheerfully go to work at remunerating wages , and be thankful for permission ; while if the same men are driven to revolution , and should they triumph , they will not go to work at the same wages until they have exhausted all the resources of the National Exchequer , and then they would have a sanguinary conflict for the property of others , looking upon idleness as the reward of their triumph ;
For these reasons , and borne " out by all past history , we have more than once declared it as our o p inion , that a sound political sy stem can only be based upon a sound social system ; and we warn our rulers , from past events , how they declare to the people of England that there is no law , and can be no law , for the protection ofthe poor man ' s property or industry while the same laws are jealous and protective of the property , the rights , and the privileges of the rich . _W e warn them how they enforce the doctrine that
their own country , in a state of sterilit y is too narrow a field for the e . xpen diture of their labour , while the state is b „ rthened with unwilling idlers pent up in the prison arid the Poor law bastile we warn them by he conflict which the obstinacy of the middle-class ofl-rar . ee has provoked , no longer to inculcate the doctrine that man cannot live in the sweat of his brow ; no longer to Jell _riu-ii m _- t ! iatthere is no ni ! _* rket ° _l > -OTJ . HJi . tt industry , except that in which their masters niay traffic ; and , let them not lay the flattering unction to their souls , that the cause of Capital has triumphed over Labour in trance , for they may rest assured , that
" Labour ' s battlo onco beguu Bequeathed by bloediug . ire to Bon Tbi ) ' bafllud oft in _avtr won . " While the murderers of the poor are rejoicing in their triumph , let them rest assured that Labour ' s battle is not yet lost , and we would aptly remind them of the words of " Pyrrhus , "" But _onesoob _vfctory moro , nnd they ' ro undone " Every act of cruelty threatened to be done by an infuriated people , driven by their tyrants

These words were printed in the ' ' Star ' ' of the 17 th of June , and on the 23 rd the prediction was fulfilled . From the 23 rd of February , when Labour established the Republic , to the day of its de . ; ti _* _iictjion on the 23 rd of June , we have during the whole period , both in the " Star" and the " Labourer , " repeated the fact , that ignorance of
THE LA HOUR QUESTION would lead to those , disasters upon which it has now become our melanchol y duty to comment ; and our hope now is , thatthe thin " misnamed a Republic , may perish , if it is to be but a _scitbbard for the vices of the speculator , and a drawn sword for the labourer . Since writing the above , we can state , upon the testimony of an eye-witness fa Member of _I'iirlianient ) , that the atrocities committed by the National Guaid and the troops are
revolting to human nature . Those barbarous ruffians , those middle class heroes , led their prisoners into the Garden of the Tuileries , in fifties and hundreds , and there butchered them in cold blood in front of that Palace , from which the brave sufferers had ejected the despot in February last '; and the result of their heroism , upon that occasion , is the establishment of a military despotism , in which the following perpetrators of the " Massacre of June , " are to be the new actors .

The Prostitute. Yv'hen Applied To A Fema...
THE PROSTITUTE . _Yv'hen applied to a female who has surrendered her virtue , her character , her peace , and her very existence , to some heartless seducer , the term PROSTITUTE is the most degradingepithet that can be applied toher ; but wben man , not under the same iniiuences , not sub . ject to tbe same natural passions and irresistible impulses , surrenders his mind , his thonght , his senses , and independence , for base lucre—what term is there in the English language sufficiently expressive to characterise this monster ? and yet we find the country ruled by a graduated scale of such monstrosity and _proJbjjncy . The Prime Minister assumes office , and rallies around him a secret conclave called a Cabinet
with an Exchequer called a Secret Service Fund ; and in order that he and his confederates may plead ignorance of all the abominations whicii are necessary for sustaining the system of which they are the representatives , the machinery for supporting this system is divided into sections , and each confederate bas the appoinf ment of the officials who shall work this varied machinery ; and this patronage is again sub-divided , until it results not only in spyism , but in the promotion of insubordination , to make the office of spy necessary ; and we can further trace to it the establishment of a detective force , whose duty it is to promote crime , and then to report its detection .
We cannot , however , attach the same amount of infamy to hired subordinates that is stamped upon the higher officials . The honour of an English Government , though a bubble and an empty title , is said to be the tenure upon which we hold our Constitution . Butifwecast a glance at tbe recent disclosures with regard to our Foreign , Colonial , and Domestic affairs , we find that even in head quarters—yea , in the Cabinet itself , the coterie of Majesty—there has been treachery , deception , and fraud ; while from the poor—from the _starving poor—this profligate Government would enforce prudence forbearance , morality , and virtue .
From the date ofthe Spanish Marriages . t » the present moment , our Foreign Minister has embroiled us in a war with France , which led to the destruction of monarch y in that country j while in S pain , he has " sown the wind , " and England will presentl y have to " reap the whirlwind . " Upon the other _ham-.-our Colo iiiul Secretary , while Parliament was called upon to _legislate upon a great question , in which the interests of our most important colony and the nation were involved , has been dearly convicted of the suppression of a portion of the evidence—nay , ofthe material evidence—upon which alone , digested through a Committtee , parliament could justly legislate .
Then our Home Secretary , the Chief of Police , has issued his instruction to violate the Constitution , by the suppression of the Public Will , enforced by broken heads , no doubt with a view to prevent discussion upon the conduct ot Ministers . Such has been the conduct of the three Secretaries of State , for Foreign Affairs , fur the Colonies , and the Home Departments , while the Chancellor of the Exchequer is so utterly incompetent to manage the _rin'incial affairs of the country , that upon his next exposition , we may fairly calculate upon a more calamitous revolution than would be produced by the erection of barricades , and resort to _physical force .
Fortunately for Lord Morpeth , he has taken refuge in " the Woods and Forests ; while the duties of Mr Labouchere do not hamper him with the necessity of committing those venial and trifling inaccuracies—his is a work of figures . Sir John Cam Hobhouse is the President of the Board of Controul , and has little to do beyond sneering at the advocates of his formerly avowed princi ples—and there is the Cabinet , with the noble Chartist , Lord John Russell , at its head . But , then , we must look to the ramifications of this nuisance , and what
