THE HEPEAL MOVEMENT . THE CLABE DEMONSTRATION . Eniiis , Thntsday night .

'
The place appointed for fhe meeting was the new laceeenrse of JBal . -ycoree , -where a large and commodions platfoim Teas erected capable of containing at least 500 persons . The procession met the liberator about halfpast twelve ; and greeted him -with such a hearty shout of'welcome as can only be given by the brave men of Clare . It ih&n moved on sloirfy amid the enthusiastic acclamations of counQe& 3 thousands , and on passing Z > romoland , fhe seat of Sir L . O'Brien , Hr . O'Connell oiled for three cheers lor Mr . W . S . O'Brien , which were ¦ warmly and enthusiastically -responded to . On its am-Tal in T ^ pTiiXj the scene "was one of the most fynimati-np description .
The procession having passed throogh isnnis , proceeded to Qie laceconrse , whence the cheering of the mighty xonltxtnde -eonld be heard distinctly , althsngh more th&n two miles distant . 500 , 001 ) men matched before the liberator of Jus country and the champion of her independence , on -whose very breath he seemed to float in his progress through the conn try .

The Bev . 3 Jr- Shee ? la 3 , in proposing the first resolution , observed , : ¦ at the battle of Trafalgar -when JTeiBon sew onB of his admirals come on gallantly to Ihe fight , and pour in his broadside on the enemy , he exclaimed -with the pride of a Briton and a hero , 'Bee how nobly CoHingwood bears down ;** and-when they looked around them that day and saw how nobly CConneD bore down on the enemies of bis country , tliey beheld him lite another Sampson in the temple -of the Dagon , pulling down the pillars of the temple of corruption , monopoly , scd bad government , bnt , more
the favourite of Heaven , and more fortunate man the Jewish Sampson , escaping unhurt and uninjured himself . —When Bonaparte got into a scraps -with the council of 560 , one of his generals told him he had got into a pretty plight * Ko aatter , * aid Bonaparte , « affairs -were-worse at the battle of Arcola , "when . the horse of tile first consul "was precipitated into a morass , and the chief ef the army of Italy -was about "to fall alive into the hands of the Austrian Uragoons ; but still I gained a victory that astounded Europe In despite of the horrors that thundered on me from the bridge of Axco ' at '' So it was-with than . Matters were bad under the
penal laws" ; and vet in twenty-eight they succeeded in shivering them to atoms , and in hurling them into the dark hell 'whence they came—{ cheers ) . It tna said , that the GoTeriiment -wonld have recourse to the alternative of civil wax sooner than grant them their lights , and they -would deluge the land with blood . Was the tragedy ofSealabogne and Yinegar-hiU to be re-enacted , ¦ when the moan of the -widow and the matron sounded TQoie melancholy than the sighing of Hie sight " wind as it sweeps orer the common ?—( bear ) .

Mr . O CO 5 SEL 1 presented himself , and was received -with the most enthusiastic cheering . - we ever ¦ witnessed . "When jnjence "was in some measure restored , ' he addressed ihs vast assemblage . Men of Clare ( he said ) , he had news lor them ; the Repeal ¦ was comisgf they were on the very verge of carrying ii , and it -would sot be Jong postponed . ( Cheers . Clare had spoken ent , and Ireland once again should be free . iGheers . ) The voice of Clara -was heard again on the -wild -winds of heaven -with the power of the storm and the force of lightning . ' Its powerful light
already proclaimed liberty for old Ireland , and frightened "Wellington of Waterloo , and his confidant Peel , the Spinning Jensy . { Gheezs and laughter ) dare best "Wellington and knocked down Peel—i cheers )—and Jsaghed at both for f * TKng- ( Cheers and laughter .

He appealed to their -worthy chairman if such -waa aot the fact . The { Jhaibhas . —Yes .
Hr .

ttkey "wi-hig uui Kipaai the U-us , liiey once made the same declaration as regarded Emancipation . In 1826 Lonth and Waterford set a noble example , and in 1 S 28 Clare pnt forth its strength , and victory was achieved— icheera . ) Be would say that O'Connell , in tbe present straggle , had the prelates of Ireland-with him , to use the words of Dr . Higgins ; and he would invert the maxim—that those who were not against them were -with them . They bad also dismissed magistrates -who -were superseded "by Sir Edward Sugden ; and if Mr . O'Connell had five of them in Dxogbeda he
ban ten in Ennis on that evening—( cheers . ) Those gentlemen were respected in the discharge of their official duties at petty sessions ; and if they were driven from the magistracy there-would be no warrants issued from the bench . ( Mr . O'Connell and the entire company here rose and cheered most enthusiastically . } The liberator had 3 , 000 clergymen of the second order ¦ with him , aave a pragmatical gentleman tie bad forgotten at the other side of the water who wrote unread letters to Sir Bobert Peel He -would , however , leave him where he found him , asd to the tender mercies of Hick Clear—( cheers . ) : ilr . O'Coskeil — Send him to the Bong merfO ^ nntR .
The Rev . Gentleman continued—The Liberator would Bee before he left Clare , that the people were in earnest . They would hand >» m £ 1 , 200 on the next morning . [ Mr . O'Connell here again rose , followed by the entire assembly , -who received the announcement with the greatest cheering . ] " O'ConneD , and a upeedy Repeal of the . Legislative TJnion /* : Mr . O'ComtXLi . rose , -when the cheering and 'waving of handkerchiefs -was continued for many minutes , at the conclusion of which he said , —I am a Iprond man I own it . I am a proud man—I never qualified it , — 1 never will deny it—( cheers ) . I maybe sneered at
for the declaration , bnt I « wnit—I am a |^? ery proud man . I am glad of tbiB gradual growth of the great cause , until it has accumulated at length into so powerlul and gigantic a shape , that in its career it becomes like the mighty avalanche of the Alpine Hills , small in its career as it left tbe mountain top , increasing as it comes down , and bears with it every obstacle , until , overshooting all obstructions , it pours irresistibly for--ward , annihilating towns , -villages , streams , and lakes , and alters the entire face of nature In one gigantic convulsion— ( cheers . ) When I resumed the Repeal , after its suspension by the fact of an English House of Lords and an English King making promises and declarations which , like others , were only made to be broken , I found a chill of suspicion existed throngbont
the country even against myaelf . That chill prevented tbe swell of the Bepeal cause . I laboured ! incessantly to convince those who doubted me that 1 was in earnest . I printed more letters , issued more declarations to the people , made more speeches , than ever I did in the course of my life before for j Bre times that period—iiond cries of "Hear , hear , hear /*) I found tbe atmosphere -warming by degrees ; a more genial glow arising in the public mind , a greater disposition to listen to my injunctions , a greater certainty increasing that there was no other remedy for national grievances ; some still thought that the Whigs might com * into power again , and that it slight be necessary to make the last great movement for the establishment of a native Parliament Many wise and good men thonght so , but at length they -were all undeceived ,
bringing upon us many of them , with Sir Coleman O'Loghlen at their head , who joined our ranks—{ Tremendous cheering . ) What hope had they front &e Whigs ? Tot his own part , he knew rw » t how theyjentertaiued the slightest expectation on that head . Sngden was guilty of using the grossest nnconstitntlonal language -tFhen he stated -what purported , as he put it , te be tbe declaration of the Queen . Bat , after all , did not Lord JEorteseue do worso when he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ?—( Hear , hear . ) Sogden strnck directly home . The worthy little Englishman did not dare to bellow in person ; for had be done so he would have been doubly fit for & madhouse . —( cheers . ) He would really tn the maddest of the five Lord Chancellors—( Laughter . Bnt did you hear that Lord Fortescne had the baseness not to mind the matter—to boast of it in the House of
Lords ? No , he did not intimidate , but he sought to corrupt—he did not intimidate—but he attempted to seduce tbB youth of Ireland—( cheers . ) Lord Fortescue { said Mr . O'Connell ) , you have disgraced yourself as an English gentleman ; and for my own part I prefer the downright Tory who did tbe job openly in the broad daylight , to the miserable , pitiful , sycophantic spirit -which actuated yon in the conauct yon pursued . Let him come back and attempt it at the Irish bar ,- now . Oh , sacred memory of my beloved Michael O'Loghlen , your angel spirit looks down upon the opening heps of your house , who , although but in Ms 24 th year , has made for himself a place in history , and taken a niche amongst the foremast patriots of Ireland!—( Tremendous cheering , -which lasted fsr several minutes . Yes .
I Sing Whig and Tory from me with equal contempt —( Cheers . ) As to the Queen ' s declaration , somebody had tbe kindness to communicate to me—Although , mind , I dont say she knew it -would be done —that Her Majesty made no such declaration , and for which 1 am truly grateful He had it from her own lips , and I have it from him , who heard her declare in his presence that she never authorised Peel to make such a declaration . ( Loud and long-continued cheering . ) I want to know now who is the loyal man—Peel , "who calumniated his amiable and lovely Sovereign , or tbe agitator , Diniel O'Connell , whe > would die for htr ? ( Cheers for some moments . ) On they so threatening us , and on comes a furious tirade in The Times , newspaper , which , as yen Inow , by its spirit of virulent bigotry , inflamed the minds of the English against
the Irish people , their religion , and its ministers . By this means they succeeded in packing the present Parliament , and making Em Majesty a state prisoner hi her own palace . { Cheers . ) The Times came ont on me and said -war should be made immediately . * I got the intelligence from Mallow , where I addressed 450 , 000 of my countrymen , who all heard what I said , because all listened with the most profound attention . Between that and dinner hour , I got ihs newspaper ; containing the threat , which I instantly met with my high and haughty defiance * as the man does who is met by a miscreant and threatened to be plundered of his property . ( Cheers . ) Let me teil you that tlie Ministry have been employed latterly in deep debates upon the state of Ireland ; that division reigns among them . I may vesture to assure yon that coercive measures will not be used . A Toice—They dare not Mr- O'Coxnell—I have received information on which I can implicitly rely , and from a quarter incapable ef being deceived , or deceiving me , that Peel ' s party of conduction in the Cabinet hare triumphed ; and an attempt -win be now made to see how they can buy us off . ( Cheers and laughter . ) They want to coax us , and they shall succeed in doing so when they coax the birds on the bushes . { A laugh . ) He , however , firmly believed the determination he alluded to was adopted by the Cabinet , and he was quiteprepared to meet it in
excellent food humour . If they were prepared to sever the church from the state in Ireland , he should be much obliged sud delighted -frith the change . Tie Catholic Church had z ' d the church livings and tithes in former times ; and when they -were taken away set one Catholic went afier than . Ko ; I ? pe&k in hilarity . They must yield to thousands , and tens of thousands , for tbe question is not at all like Emancipation , when the greatest aggregate meeting which could be congregated would not fill this chapel . The Irish people don't mean to fight ,- but nobody will fight them . ;
A Voice . —Let them if th 6 y dare . Mr . O'Coxmxl . —Ay , if they dare ; but as long u I am allowed to guide tLe progress of tbe glorious cause , so long will 1 keep the peop : e within tbe strict letter of the law and the b ~ unds of tbe constitution .. The Chaihmau gave * -The Sight Rev . Dr . Kennedy and the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland . " ( Tremendous cheers ) The Right Rev . D .- . Kexkedt being loudly called on , rose and said . —Sir . I am firmly persuaded that there is not , even in Ireland , an makappy people vriao nave been , and < tffl are , more crnelly ill-used than th « moral , icdnstrions , and most unoffending people of Clare . ( Hear , and cheer *) It wonld seem , indeed , from the cruelties which have bfcin so long practised
upon them , and of which they have been , in latter years , even m * re than ever , the hap '^ ss yet unreriHtine victims , as if their inbmnan—shall I say their fiendish ? —persecutors were resolved to press their ; merciless ex iCiions , and to urge the murderous sjstem of thtii extermination to the very utmost limits » f human endurance . But let them beware ! It ought not to be so soon forgotten that human endnrarce has its limits in Clare as well as elsewhere . Gentlemen , I agree fuJly « -ith your iWnstrious guest , that nothing but tbe hgai murdera or assassinations perpetrated in Ireland through the instrumentality < f the croe ! p / rocsss oi extenaiBaiiun can account for the . Twful deficiency ,
aiscuntesg to ovtr 700 . 000 human being * , in tbe ordinary increase of our population -from 1 S 31 to 1841 , ¦ wbeij the last census was taken ; for we have not been visited , thank G ^ d ! with any other plague wittan that time to destroy our pt-ople ; and it is clear that Emigration alone cannot account for it . I most ,, therefore , aerre vrith him , tt £ . t thousands of onr persecuted people are , owing to the accursed process , annually wasted to premature graves by banger , cold and disease ; and that the atrocic&s guilt of TeBgeance ia justly chargeable to British hostile government and British hostile legisla'jon , as well as to the acknowledged hard-bearted ness ^ nd c mtlty of Irish landlords . ( Hear , hear . ) Yes , Sir , it -was that hostile Government and hostile
legislature , -which , bound to protect the people of this sntry from the vengeance and tha rapaciousueES of a ~ ct of men wLoai they well know to be tbe most heartless tyranto with whom a country was ever cursed , i afforded to them notwithstanding every legal facility ! to tv&and persecute and exterminate them —( hear , and j thecrw . Men of Clare , hear what your own countryman , j . Mr . W . & OlBrien , who is an honour to your county , j though he is sot one cf its representatives , has said in his excellent , his manly , and patriotic letter to tbe Chancellor , when indignantly resigning into his hands his commission as a magistrate : —•• Nor am J . sorry to be relieved from the responsibility of acting in any j capacity ni-der a Government which , » hile- it forbids : the expression of natiensl indignation , loses ho oppor- | tnnity of ixming well founded discontent . '' As to the I praeticabiaiv « f the Repeal ef the Legislative Union J and of tbe re-egtablishmtnt of a Kational ParUament 1 in Ireland , I -will only say , gentlemen , that if ij did not firmly beHeve , that under the guidance of j

MR , THOMAS STARKEV , AND THE DEFENCE FUND . TO i ? HB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SiR-rl have seen in the Stars of May 27 tn and June 10 th , mi / attempt by Mr . Starkey , of Stoke , to shew that he has been neglected by th > Chartist public in the hour of I need , while aufterin | for the Chartist cause ; and that he has a right to some compensation fur the losses he has sustained , and apparently feels aggrieved that you do not boldly assist him in his appeal . Fearing that some persons may believe , from Mr . Starkey ' s appeal that he has not had justice done to him by the managing committee of the Defence Fund at the late Special Commissionjat Stafford , whereat Mr . Starkey ] wa 8 tried , and as I waa one . of that committee , and happen to know something of Mr . Starkey ' a affairs , I deem it to be mj duty to explain the matter .
When Mr . O'Connor remitted to me the £ 50 for tbe defence of the victims , I immediately proceeded to the nomination of a committee of management . This being accomplished wa proceeded to ; examine the ground we occupied . In so doing we discovered that , according to our calculation ( the cases being so many ) wo could not do more : than fee counsel , unless we received more funds from other sources . With this view we passed a resolution that all persons on trial'Should support their own witnesses . This rule was strictly adhered to , and in no icstaucejbrokea . True , one person borrowed a sovereign of me with an understanding that it should be refunded the next ! day but one ; but it hus not yet been refunded ; and if it be not forthcoming soon , I shall be under the
unpleasant necessity of publicly appealing for it . This I must < ioj in common fustite io , those parties who were re / used [ support far witnesses . Therefore , whatever Mr . Storkty ' 3 expenses may have beun for witnesses ( and I believe they were great ) , the defence committee could do nothing for htni . And I further add , that should compensation be made to Mr . Starkey , it will open the floodgates for such a sweeping appeal for compensation as has never been ht ard of in the history of Ghartisni . I would like to see ALL injured persons compensated . But can it be done ? Can we now support the families of those in comfort who are in durance ? Let Mr . Starkie , therefore , take comfort that he is at liberty !
With regard to his law expenses , I am only sorry that Mr . S . never applied for our assistance . Had he have done SO , be would have received all the assistance that could possibly . have been rendered from myself , the committee , and Mr . Roberts , whose exertions on behalf of the victims were herculean . I will only add , that had thn committee undertaken to support witnesses , one thousand pounds would not have served their purpose . To obviate , therefore , the great expense that parties were subjected to by public accommodation , I threw open my own bouse to make a
home for . thorn . And the compensation I received was the loss of a ; month ' s work , with danger of loosing my employment , debts contracted to the amount of several pounds , ; to Berve them ; and when I asked for the money to pay them off , I waa abused for not paying myself out of the surplus fands , instead of refunding them to ' Mr . O'Connor . And I have not , even yet , received : anything towards " compensation , " unless it be the esteem of a few , I bhallever delight to serve . I am , Mr . Editor , a friend to even-handed justice ; and unless we all be ho , we shall make poor regenerators of our poor , bleadini ? , and prestrate country .

* Liverpool Cattle Mabket , Monday , Jem 19 —We have had a large supply of Cattle at market to-day , the greater part of which sold at high prices Beef 5 d to 6 d , Mutton 5 tl to 5 £ d , Lamba 5 £ d to c | d per lb . Number of Cattle : —Beasts 1 , 006 bheep and Lambs 9 , 219 . Livebpool Corn Mabket , Monday , Jdnb 19 . — The imports of Grain , &o . since this day se ' nnighfc are of very small amount . A week of very fine weather has had the usual effect of rendering the trade dull . At Friday ' s market only a limited
business was done in Wheat , and the few salea that occurred were at 2 d to 3 d per bushel below the quotations of Tuesday . Flour , too , was Is per sack and 6 d per barrel cheaper , and met a very languid demand . Oats were held for full prices ; few ^ however , were wanted , and we make do change in their value . Oatmeal barely supported previous rates . Several parcels of grinding Barley have foundbuyers for the country during the week at 3 s 3 d to 3 s 84 per 601 bs ; more money is now asked" for what remains on the market- Beans and Peas are held with more firmness .
Manchester Corn Mabket , Saturday , June 17 . —Since this day se ' nnight , there has been but little raia in this neighbourhood , and during the past four days the weather has undergone a most favourable change , with every prospect of a continuance . The supplies of Flour , Oats , and Oatmeal , from Ireland continue liberal ; but of alLothcr descriptions the imports thence and coastwise % are unimportant . ¦ The arrivals of Flour from the interior have , of late , been to a fair extent , bat not more than adequate to the demand for consumption . At our market this morning a very inactive feeling pravailed , but we do not . make any change in the quotations of Wheat or Flour , the Btocks of which are in but limited compass in factors hands , as well as in those of the trade . The inquiry for Oats and Beans wasonly on a moderate scale ; and Oatmeal , except of very superior quality , met slow sals at rather lower rates .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , June 19 . — Tho demand for all descriptions of English Wheat was inactive , and the rates suffered an abatement ou those obtained on this day 66 ' nnight , of from Is to 2 s per quarter . For free foreign Wheat the rates were quite Is per quarter lower . The value of bonded parcels was almost nominal . Barley at previous rates . Good sound Malt sold freely ; other kinds at last week ' s figuiea . The value of oats was freely sustained . Beans and Peas at full quotations , in Flour no alteration to notice .
London Smithfield Cattle Mabket , Mondat , June 19 . —The Beef trade wa 3 ia a very depressed state , and we have not tho slightest improvement to notice on Friday's figures . The Mutton trade , generally , was very dull , and the currencies were from 2 J to 4 d per 8 b beneath those on this day se ' nnight . The sale for Lambs was in a very sluggish state , at a decline of from 2 d to 4 d per 8 ! b . Veal , 4 d per 8 tb lower . Pigs 2 d per 8 lb cheaper . The imports of stock have comprised two ows , at Hull , from Kotterdaui ; but we had none here to-day . Borough Hop Market . —Tho accounts from the plantations being more favourable than of late , considerable effect has been produced upon our market . Although the supply of hops offering is by no mean 3 extensive , the demand is extremely inactive , at a deelino of from 2 s 10 3 a per cwt ., while lower figure 3 are generally expected .
Borough and Spitalfi elds , —For tho time of year , a liberal supply of-potatoes has been received at tho water-side , during the past weefe . The very finest descriptions are selling at foil prices , but the value of all other kiad 3 has a downward tendency . Wool Mabket . —The public sales of wool held during the past week have been well attended by buyers , and a fair portion submitted for competition has been sold at about the previous sales' rates . By private contract , a very moderate business is doing .
Tallow . —The market isstill depressed , especially on the spot ; and for the autumn the price is 423 , at which there is little business doing ; for separate months , from August to Decomber , 423 6 d . The advices received this morning from St . Petersburg !! are of the same tendency as the two or three previous poets , as to prices ; but there was a leas quantity shipped off aud sailed than at the same date last year .

REPEAL MEETINGS—MILITARY MOVEMENTS . The Limerick ] Chrqnide , a Tory paper , gives the following striking " description of the Bepeal demonstration in Clare , onJ Thursday last : — " From an area of more than 100 miles the peasantry gathered to the IrendezvouB , travelling day and night from every village and hamlet of Clare , nay more , not only the confines , but more central parts of the counties of Limerick , Tipperary , Galway , and even King ' s County , having crossed the Shannon in different parts for the purpose : ] so that it is not strange under a corn-Dined and simultaneous movement , there fihould be assembled a multitude of certainly not leas than 150 000 persons , many of ¦ whom have not yet reached their homes , after being witnesses and actors in this unprecedented Bepeal demonstration . Partisanship
will be eager enough to magnify the numbers prestnt to one million ; but the above calculation may be depended on ; and it is miraculous how such a vast meeting separated without accident or injury . There w « re about 6 , 000 horsemen on the ground , and the cavalcade of cars might satisfy the large commissariat staff , having extended from Ennifl to Newmarket , a distance cf six-miles . There were upwards of 110 Temperance bands in attendance , and tbe lion of tbe day -was Mr . O'Connell ; but his voice , however familiar with * masses , ' could not be heard by moro than half the concourse who surrounded the platform , in an area of several acres , the others being left to imagine what was said by him and other speakers . Mr . O'Connell received £ 1 , 200 Repeal rent at this gathering , with a promise of more .
Cubious . — We shall conclude with a perfectly novel and striking incident in the performances of the occasion , which jwas the presence of two Frenchmen of most respectable appearance , but like most foreigners , ' mouatached , ' and who held an earnest conversation with Mr . O'Connell on the platform . We have since ascertained their names to be , M . Lesbre , advocate of the Court Royale , Paris , and M . Dassault , his companion . They have never been seen in Limerick or Clare before . " There was not a soldier or policeman in view or hearing of the immense Repeal assemblage at Bally cores , tbe troop of tbe loth Hussars not being nearer than Ennis , and the 36 th and 81 st at Clare Castle . "
IiiiiEUicK , Saturday . —Captom Bonham ' s troop , 10 th Hussars , returned to tWs garrison yesterday morning from Ennis .. Two companies ef tbe 36 th , under tbe command of Major da Lacy , returned from Clare Castle this day , to head quarters . The military calculation of the numbers at the Eants Repeal meeting ison the Race Course , 14 , 000 . About the roads and in Ennis— 5 , 000 . The arms of all the staff of Militia Regiments in Ireland are to be deposited in the Ordnance Depots of their respective districts . Three military pensioners have been struck off the establishment in consequence of attending a Repeal meeting . —Limerick Chronicle . The military force at Skibbereen has been increased as there is to be a Repeal assemblage on the 22 nd there .
The Beginning 6 f tbe End . —The Tipperarv Constitution of yesterday contains the following , under the head of " More Ne » a for the Government : "n On Tuesday . Captain Bradshaw ' s men , when out in Golden district collecting county rates , were regularly hunted on making a seizure . There could not have been less than 1 , 000 persons collected on the surrounding bills . Several of the persons who paid cautioned the collector not ; to come again , as the Repeal would certainly come before Christmas . " And again , the same paper thus announces the progress of a " passive resistance movement : "— "The Magistrates in Tipperary having some time sinse granted ¦ warrants for recovery of poor-rates in that union , the collector put several in force , the parties allowing the stock to be
impounded without resistance , and then lodging security 'inmoney -with theponnd-keeper for their forthcoming on the day of sale . The sales were to have taken place on Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday last Notices were in the meantime posted through the country , calling on the people to assemble in Tipperary on those days , and particularly on Thursday , the bolydoy , to make a passive resistance demonstration ; in consequence of which the Magistrates deemed it advisable to make appiicatisn to Lord Downes for an additional force , and accordingly two troops of Hussars and an additional company of Infantry arrived in Tipperary on Tuesday , but whether it was tbe message said to be
Bent by O'Connell , or that the bidders were actually in attendance , or the fur csps and hairy faces of the Hussars prepared for the tournament , so it was those passive props of good order considered it more prudent to pay the rate and all expenses on the several inorning ' s of sale . There were also in attendance upwards of 1000 police , under the direction of Messrs . M'Leod and Knaresborougb . : Much credit is dne to tbe Magistrates and some members of the Board of Guardians , for the arrangements made and the determination to effect sales , as otherwise this ' preface' to resistance against the recovery of all legal demands would have become an established precedent "
Somewat Dovdtfvl . —The Derry Standard says , "We have beard , on authority en which we feel disposed to place reliance , that the Government intend to apprehend O'Connell , and have him tried for high treason , and that their object in filling the country with troops is to preserve tbe peace when such an occurrence may take place . " The Horning Herald , the only Ministerial organ amongst the Morning Daily Press , appends tbe word " Fndge" to this announcement "Who ' s the ' Tbaiiob ? " —The following strange observations are . made by the Tippertry Free Press , the southern organ of Repeal : — " Nothing can arrest the Repeal movement but the treachery or timidity of tbe leaders . We will not suspect them of one or the other , we ds not ' believe them capable of either . The
man who pauses now or turns one step aside , or com ' promises one jot of nationality , is a coward or a traitor . The question of Repeal is distinct from any measure of reform—it does notconsfet of parts—it cannot be mado up of patches ; the Independence of the Irish Legislature must be unequivocal , unconditional , and ' fully recognized , or the condition of Ireland will be worse than subjection . This straggle can only terminate in national glory or in a national grave . We see no middle ground . If the Repealers ! are not honest , open-hearted , daring patriots , they are } sneaking pedlars , trafficking in dishonest ware . It is said , indeed , that some brace or two of lords having nerved up their hearts to a certain point in national courage , the great current of the public blood should cool down to a befitting temperatnre in crder to bave the honour of circulating through them . These men are cautious , because they want the
virtue to speak ont ; they are temperate , because they have not the courage vo be honest ; and they are steady , because they have not the ken to see which way honour leads . We hope their gloomy counsel shall turn no cloud on this the sonny morning ot Ireland . Some talk there is of federalism . We do not understand tbe phrase , nor wish to do so . If it mean Irish Independence , tither mediate or Immediate , it is a deception on those who join the nationalists in its name ; and if it means Iosb than such independence it is treachery to those who would ' r consent to struggle only for tbat " Now , itsbonld be , bornb in mind , tbat Mr . Connell himself , at the cloBe of his calibrated speech in the corporation , unequivocally declared that he would be satisfied with a federal Parliament Does the Free Press mean to attribute deception" and " treachery" to the Hon . and Learned Gentleman ?
Omitjot ? s —Mr . O Connell has promised to hold tv Repeal meeting in Waterford , on the 12 th of July , the annivewiry of the battle of Aughrim . Search fob Arsis . —Tbe Belfast Chronicle contains the followjmj announcement : — "It is said that it is not an uncommon practice to convey fire-arms clandestinely into some . parts of tho country , concealed in coffins made for-the pnrpose . We understand that orders have been issued to the magistracy and police to bs vigilant in detecting this and other unlawful modes of conveying arms into the interior . "
That tbe antlwrities do suspect that arms are surreptitiously obtained by the peasantry is quite manifest from the folio-wing rather ludicrous result of police vigilance which is reported in both the Limerick papers : — " On Sunday last , two poor countrymen and a woman were proceedini ? along the Crescent to their neighbomhood of Patricks well , with a cuffin in a car , Ln which to lay in > its last resting placa the body of a relative who d : ed the previews day , when , to their astonishment and dismay , two policemf-n stopped them ,
and demanded to ; see what tbe coffin contained . In vaRi the poor creatures p-otested against to gross an outrage—in vain they assured these worthy officers of tbe law that it only contained a few necessaries for the wake . All-would cot do—opened the coffin should be , and opened it was , when they discovered to their horror , —not bullets , powder , and implements of war , — but candles , tobacco , and snnff ! Having made this notable diEcovery , the policemen retired evidently disconcerted , and the poor people were allowed to proceed on their way home . "
Effects of ihe Repeal Agitation . —The Limerick Chronicle remarks— " Since tbe Rvpeal agitation has become so hot , a greater stagnation of business in every branch of trade was never known in Limerick , and Ihe shopkeepers complain universally of it , ascribing it trnly to the political excitement and apprehension which occupies every mind at present The utmost difficulty is found in the collection of rents . " Captain Henry Cooper's company , 4 iih Regiment , arrived in Cork garrison from Spike Island , on Monday . Part of the h 3 trgage of the 2 nd { Queen ' s ) Dragoons arrived in Cork on Satnruay , per Jupiter steamer , from Dublin .
The first division of the Queen ' s Bays arrived in this garrison on vs ' ednesday from Fcrmoy . All the troops in garriEon attended their various places of worship on Sunday under arms , —Cork Con . stiiution .

ATROCIOUS FAB » ICATION . 4-The full . > win (? appeared intheM ^ of Thursday . —" in . the Mail of Monday we gava a circumstantial account of the murder of the Rev . Jakes Lowrey Dicfesen , rector of Lavy , ia the county of Cavan , alleged to have taken place by the band of a maniac , while in a state of furious excitement produced by intoxication . That excitement and the finding of the inquest wo gave Ion the reputed authority of a person who represented himself in his letter as the coroner of tbe county , and we inserted it without entertaining a-doubt of its correctness ; for we . could not
have imagined depravity or baseness to exist to such an extent in the mind of any fiend as to induce him to invent so atrocious a atory . The whole statement ia a villainous fabrication : and fortunately , having preserved the origininal manuscript , which we have given to ft near cenhexion of Mr . Dickson , by whom it will be forwarded to the country by this night ' s post , we are not without hope that the ; miscreant will yet be detected . With the view of increasing the chances of such a . discovery , we hereby offer a reward of twenty pounds to any person who will afford evidence substantially establishing the guilt of the writer . "

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF LNFANTICIDE AT CREWKERNE . f Abridged from the SherborM and Yeovil Mercury . J Considerable excitement has existed in the town of Crewkerne for some time past , in consequence of a rumour that prevailed that a girl named Martha Clarke , who lived as servant to a Air . Alven , a person of independent property , and the son of a former banker of the town , had been delivered by him of a child , of which he was the father , and which he had destroyed . So long ago as the 19 th of May last the girl had made disclosures which led to the apprehension of both prisoners , and several investigations bad taken place before tbe magistrates , who from time to
time remanded the prisoners . On Sunday last , bowever , the ; body was found in the garden of the male prisoner , ; and an iuquest was held on it the following day , when the jury found their verdict " that the body now found is the hody of a human being , an infant , but bow or by whom placed there is not known . " The prisoners , however , were again brought before the magistrates on Thursday last , when the case was fully gone into . High Symonds , constable of Crewkerne , examined . —From information I bad received , I made a search in Richard Alven ' s garden on Monday last , between eleven and twelve , and , moving the ground , I first turned some dung ; and in the middle of the dung I found the remains of what- I believed te be a
human body . There was a hoyband found round the body . On finding it I communicated with the parish officers . I William PotUnger— On Sunday last , the 11 th iost ., I assisted Hugh Symonds in making search in Mr . Alven's garden ; we found something there about a foot under the surface ; it first ; appeared like dung . I desired Symonds to be careful with the spade . I saw him take up something , bat I don't know what it was , but from-what I have seen to-day , I think it was the bead of a child . I fetched Mr . Bowdage , and saw him and Symonds take up what we so found with two spades . I saw a band round the body , as I believe , composed partly of bay and straw . There was an appearance of blood about the band , and I stained my fingers when I touched it .
Emanuel Bondage— I am a surgeon . About a quarter before one on Sunday I was called upon by Pottinger , and in consequence went to Richard Alven ' s garden . JMy attention was directed to the body of an infant lying on its back ; tbe head wad distinctly visible . SymondBJand myself placed it on a board . The bones of the head fell to pieces . I this morning have again examined the body . I found a band round the body which is composed of hay and straw . It was tbe body of a full grown infant , much decomposed . From the appearance of the bipod on the hayband , I believe it came from the body of the child ; If the child had been stillborn , in my opinion there ; would have been no blood . In my judgment , and forming tbat judgment from the state of decomposition , the child must have been born about five or six months since . The body was so deeqmposed , that I cannot say whether it was male or female .
Sarah Bulgin deposed , that in tbe harvest time of last year she had observed that Martha Clarke looked large , as if with child ; that she had joked her on the circumstances . She had afterwards remembered and observed to her tbat there was a great difference in her appearance . Mary Fowler , wife of Joseph Fowler , yeoman—I know Martha Clarke . She was a servant of Mr . Alven . On Sunday week before Christmas-day last , Miss Coles called on me . Miss Coles is a relation of Mr . Alven ' s , and lives-in bis house . She said to me there were strange tales about Martha Clarke , and asked me to come to Mr . Alven ' s house to see if I thought she was in the family-way . I went to Mr . Alven ' s house ' about four o ' clock . About an hour after I got there , I heard Martha come into the passage , / through the back door . She put something on the table , and I heard a noise as
if she was ; pouring milk from a pail into a milk-pan . I afterwards saw a pail on the table , and the milk . I then heard her go up stairs ; Bhortly after some one came to the door . Miss Coles called Martha to come down stails several times . Martha said if any person wanted her they must come up to her . Miss Coles then went up stairs , » nd afterwards came down again , and asked roe to go up and see her . I then went up staira and found Martha Clarke in bed there . She was sitting upright . I asked her how she was , and what was the matter ? Sbe said "I am poorly , but there is not much the matter . " She said , " Mary ; yon know it has been reported a good deal about me that I am in the familyway '' I said " Yes , I have heard of it . " She said , " I assure you ' it i 3 no such thing . " She then took hold of my hand , aud said , " Now feel me . " I then put my hand all over her stomach , and felt as if I thought she
was not in ' rthe family-way . Charlotte Coles , Mr . Alven ' a cousin * and the manager of his house , corroborated the last witness ' s testimony , except with regard to some trivial points of conversation . ShejdepoBed that she had [ not flnspected Martha Clurke of being in the family way ; and although shehad heard repoirta to that effect , ahe had not attached any credit to them . ; _ ¦ ¦ Elisabeth Turner , wife of John Tamer , poUceman . — My husband brought Martha CIai . l » te hia house in She then said
custody on Friday , the 19 th of ; May . she was not aware why she was ? in custody , but she said my riusband had readthe ; wananttober . The following morninjshe was crying , and would not at first eat anything for breakfast After breakfast she said , ' If Ijam bad up to-day before a magistrate I will confess all about it . " I asked her what she meant , but I said nothing to induce her to make any statement She said either if she had bad a child she knew nothing more about it or ehe had had a child , but knew nothing more of it , and added , "If I sufferAlven shall also * " She

then told me she had blen connaed in the hay-loft , and Mr . Alven was with he * ; tbat he saw ahe was ill in the morning and he mentioned it to her , and said that he knew what was the matter with her . She told me she first went into tbelplace where the cows were , and Mr . Alven came to heri anoV after a little while he told her she had better ge into the hayloft That she believed it waa about four o ' clock when ahe went there , and tbat about six o'clock , the child was born . That Alveu assisted her in her confinement . That she believed the child would have been [ ; living at this time if it had not been destroyed . Tbat [ about a minute after the child was born , Alven told her to go down out of the loft . That she went down where tha cows were , and that
Mr . Alven came down ( in about five minutes , and that ehe took her clothes , and pinned them up before her , in order to prevent any running . Sat said that she had never seen the child , but had left Alven in the loft with it ; that she knew nothing of what became of it afterwards ; that Alven had milked the cow for her ; that she stood there whilst he milked it , and afterwards earned In the milk herself , and went to bed . She also said , that to the best of her knowledge and belief the child was bera alive ; Jthat Alven hod never told her what be bad done with tbe child , and tbat she bad never seen it . She also said , that some time afterwards , when Alven's dog had pups , he made gruel for it ; and tbat shehad raid to him that he had behaved kinder to his d » g thau to her .
This being the case for the prosecution , the prisoner Alven was asked if he * had anything to address to the Court ? when he replied , " I am innocent of the charge , gentlemen . " Upon this tbe female prisoner instantly exclaimed , "He is not innocent , gentlemen . " It is impossible to describe the impression made in tbe court by this unexpected announcement , and it was not for some time that silence could be obtained * When order was restored , the prisoner said that she wished to tell everything , and ( proceeded to make the following confession : — )
"I was delivered of ] a child , and the prisoner Alven took it from me . He delivered me himself . It was on the Sunday before Christmas day List He twisted a hayband and tied it round the child ' s neck , and hid it then amongst the reeds . He never allowed me to see tbe child , and he said 11 never should see it ; and he never would tell me whether it was a boy or a girl , because if no one saw it I should never blush it accused by any one . j As Boon as I was delivered he told me to go down . I heard the child cry before and after I went down , fl was in the hayloft about ten . minutes after the child was born ; and about ten minutes after I was confined I went down and fetched the milking pail , and ! brought it up to milk the cow . Alven carried the milks as far tbe kitchen door ; I took
it up and earned it in and placed it on the table . I then went up stairs and went to bed . 1 saw Alven place the hayband round something and heard it cry . It was moonlight at the time , and there are windows in the place . When he was twisting the hayband his back was towards me , and , after it was tied he threw it ameng tbe reeds . I beard the child cry after I came down from the loft . I left him there , and he returned about five minutes afterwards . I never heard the child after Alven came down .
