PBOGKESS OF THE MONSTER TRIAL . On Friday last the Attorney-Greneral " movBd" the Court to fix upon Monday , December 11 th for the commencement -of the trial ; and ' that " the said 11 th of December , and the following days , np to and including the lOlh day of January , should , for the pnrposs of rucb trial , be deemed and taken to bs 3 part of thB Michaelmas Term . " The motion -was opposed by Jtfr . Henn on the part of tbeTraversers ; on the ground , first , that ft -would be impo-able , in the interim between and the period named by tha Attorney-General , to prepare the « fence to th& moEater * indictment ; and secondly , because the Jnry IAst "sras at the present time undergoing Tevision , and Tronld not be completed fcy the 11 th of December . It -was notorious that the present Jury IAst ^ was Tery defective ; and if a trial ¦ was had 'by a jury chosen from it , the public wonid entertain the idea that all was not fair : for these reasons he applied that the 1 st of February should be fixed for the commencement of the trial
Tke Attorney-General replied , giving his reasons at great length for Mb oh&rginii upon the defendants a desire to procrastinate and delay . He , however , consented to postpone the trial till the * 15 th of January ; for by that time the new jnry list -would be perfected . The Court , in -whose discretion the matter lay , acceedf d to the cffer of the Attorney-General , " and fixed Monday , January loin , as the first day of trial . In the course » f the " Judgment" as delivered by-Chief Justice Pennefathei * he took occasion to say , that the affidavit npon -which 3 Ir . Ham's application for a deferring of the trial till Feb . 1 st -was founded , did not set forth that the witnesses for the defence -were out of "the country , or tha » any peculiar circumstances existed with referecce to them that called for delay . As soon as the " Judgment" was eouclnd&a , Mr . Steele toss and mid—I most respectfully beg permission to make a Einfile observation to the court .
Chief Justice—The judgment of ihe court has been given , and your time for speaking is past Mx . Sieele—I have but one observation to make , my lord . Chief Justice—I fear ttb cannot hear yon * Mr . Steele Mr . Steele—My Lord , I hope 1 will have the same magnificent justice froKi you that I had from you ? illustrious brother when I was tried before him . My Lords , I feel it right to rise lest my silence on any particular point if 1 -were to be silent , should be construed by your Lordships into an acquiescence . The iord Chief Jostics , is Ms judgment , staiedithat all the witnesses were retident in Ireland . Now , I pray leave most respectfuOy t- > state that in this his . Lordship is -under a misconception . The only witness resident in Ireland whom I intend to examine when defending anyseif in this court , is Lord rinn ^ et , -whom I with great psin draw from his retirement . Er « ry other - » it-Tiwa whom I inieriii to examine is resident in London .
Chief Justice—The observations which 1 made nse of were fpnnded on the affidavits that have been laid before the court , in which it is not alleged that any of the witnesses are out of the country . The Attomsy-General said it T ^ as necessary pro forma that the cffieer in taking down the order should have the parties present ; as strictly speaking , they had no attorneys in c * nr t . " Mr . Pi £ ot said to facilitate matters the attorneys Would Accept the orders . Mr . Bourns said there was yet no appearance for the parties by attorney . JSIr . Mahony said they would appear at once . . The Attorney-General said Jt was necessary that the order should be made in the preseBce cf tbe parties . There could be no dificolty in the parties attending in fha course of that day ox ibe next day .
2 Ir . FigOt objected to the annoyance of bringing the defendants down to court for so unnecessary a msuex . Mr . Brewsifr said if the parties were not present when the order wan taken down they could bring an ¦ action against the cffieer . 2 &r . Oaitl&n said he appeared for Mr . DaSy . Mr . Mahony said he appeared for Mr . John O'Contt » 1 ? Hi . Forde said he appeared for Mr . O'Connell i and three of the other -delendacts . Di . Gray , Mr . Steele , and the Rav . Mr . Tyrrtll , were then present in cocrt - The appearances were then taken down / and the matter dropped . * . I
THE P 2 O 5 ZCrTIO >\ 5-The Dublin Mtmilcr , of Mt > nc 5 ay , contains an able review of the whole proceedings , -which -we give entire , as it wai enable the reader to comprehend aJ that has iitberto toeen done : — The first aci 0 / this great drama being now brought to a close , it may not be uninteresting to give a resame of all the proceedings that have hitherto taken place . In their progress , we hava endeavoured to afford as accurate knowledge as we could glean of the various movements , and , in connexion with them , of the practice ef the Ccnrt ; 3 nd we believe car rea&ers-h&ve not "been misinformed by our unprofessional learning . As every matter , however slight , connected with these important prosecutions , is of interest ; and though much of what we have to say is only ihe xej ^ titira ol -what we have said before , yet a general-re Qcareal of the entire course of attack su < l defence win not be sMion . t its share of interest .
Tfee course adopted by the Crown has been rebed on as one of extreme feimexs , and calculated to open a Mr defence to the Traversersr-first , by giving them a chance of having the Bills ignored by the G aud Jury ; and , secondly , in yielding to the case made by Mr . "Henn for additional time , -until tbe new Special Panel shall come into operation . The Attorney-General , it is said , might have proceeded by an Ez-OJkio . True , he might—but that is a process . which , unless
in very extreme cases , can never again be resorted to . It is both -unjust and tyrannical—the instrument of despotic power—once active enough , when public opinion was Jjot so infla * ntia ] as at present , and oppresaon pursufta its sanguinary course without interruption —bnt no longer a safe or practicable proceeding . In file Rsport of the Commissioners of Criminal law it is-nnBD&ringly condemned , and its abolMsn suggested He wonld be a bold Attorney-General who , in the face o ! such an authority , would now resort to such a TiDdictive process . *
"With regard to the other head of " fairness , " mnch of "What we hare observed on the first wiil apply a ^ o to this . It would he an eternal scandal to the administration of justice if the Attorney-General were to force on a trial pending the revision of tbe Jury lists . Had lie done so , there could be only one opinion formed of his conduct , that—per fas out nefas—he must have a conviction . What fair pretence could lie in the month of the- Go-Tenunent to accelerate the trial , when , in less than one
month after tee period originally fixed , the accused ¦ Would have bad the advantage of a tribunal impartially constituted , instead ol one in which the chance * of conviction wonld be as twenty to one in favour of the Crown I It is well , however , not to forget that Mr . Smith might have forced the trial : for reasons are always resfly to so acute a lawyer ; and we-cannot be so ungenerous ss to fieny him the merit of beingirflaaaced iy honourable jnotaresin jieifling to the demand . Certain it Is that his conduct in tins particular lUStanCfi 13 -worthy of approbation .
Having disposed of the Attorney Ginerali claims to fairness , " we now proceed to our outline , giviag an account of the several proceedings in the oidez of their « 5 cnrren 58-The B = lls were sent up to tbe Grsnd Jnry bn the 2 nd of ^ November , 2 nd on the same day Mr . Smith took his £ rst rttp , which did not contribute ) to his character as an able public officer . He first applied to hsve tbe name of "Tyzre : i" altered to " Tierce ? . " This was Teaftsted ~ bj Mr . Hstctmil , en tte ground that the Jury iad charge of the Bill am ) that they could not lawfully be called onto produce it or make any alterations , for the record was given in charge to them , and they must either find or reject it as it was . The Court allowed the substitution of names . It was matter 6 f Eurprise that so little attention had been bestowed on the indictment ; and that all classes of Crown Officers , from Mr . Smith to Mr Ssmmis , rfjoaSd . hsve been so blind or negligent aa to f nffer so palpable a blnnder .
Mr . Kemmis had « arcfiJy made the necessary alteration , when the Attomej-General applied to have the record amended in another particular . One of the Jnrors made an " cfiinnation" instead of an oath , so that in the presenting part of the indictment it became necessary to add die word " afinnation , " otherwise *^ le would , be good ground to move in arrest of judgment , it -was jnst ss easy for an experienced eye to oetect this error while the Jury were being sworn as > f ^ ' to MneDd itat oace - Yet , although the ¦ wnole EUff of the Cio ^ n were present , it never occurred ^ nSLumatT intelligent miBds until the blunder was

of expressing his dissent from the finding in open ' Court . All the Traversers appeared , and were then ! charged with the indictment . Tbe Attorney-General j then moved that the casual four day rule to plead ! should run from that -day—a very preposterous de- j mand ; for how could they know what to plead to , ; when they were ignorant of the indictment ? The Court seemed disposed to assent , with the exception j of Judge Pirrin , who put a very pertinent and sug- j gestive question , which inspired Mr . Whiteside to : adopt the novel and inconvenient course of insisting i on the nine readings of the indictment ! The Court : w < re then clearly of opinion that the rule should mn j from the following day ! I While this rule was running , as it is called , the j Traversbrs' Counsel commenced their system of strategy > —in our humble opinion , found on just principles , j They made three successive applications , all which j were unsuccessful : — <
1 st Inasmuch as the furnished copies were not regularly certified by the Clerk of the Crown , they de- ; manded-the inspection of the record to compare their ; copies . 2 nd . inssmDck as they -were entitled by law to a perfect copy of the record , they demanded a list of the witnesses endorsed thereon . 3 rd . On tbe same ground they required a copy of j the caption , or formal preamble prefixed to the Indict- j ment . ] The first contained very little , as they were supplied j with a " copy , " arid in law that Is presumed to be a j correct one . If there was a variance , the only point on which they relied , they would not be prejudiced by the error . As to tbe second , it is the usual practice in Eng- '
land to give a list of the witnesses ; and why a different practice should prevail in Ireland one cannot well see , j Besides , by the 56 : h George 111 ., when the witnesses 1 were sworn in open Court , there was no necessity for & ! list , becanse they were all ¦ well known ; and the Act { of Victoria did not deprive the traTersers &f that riahfc , J as waB intimated or inferrtd by Judge Perrin when giTing judgment on the plea . Toacopy of the caption , j tbe traversers , it would e&em , are always entitled in j England ; but with us the " practice of the Court is the j law of- the Court , " and oa that dogmatical axiom the j application was refused . j The rule to plead having expired on the 14 th , the traversers were called on to plead or demur . They ; chose tke former , and tendered the celebrated pleas in j abatement For this tbe Crown cfljctrs were wholly j unprepared , and Mr . Smith oMected to their reception . J
It was argued the day after , on very narrow aud technical grounds , by tbB Attorney-General , who should liflve at once allowed their acceptance . The unfelicitous ' reply of Mr . Brewster was better for the traversers j than Mr . Henri ' s ablest argument- j The pleas were received . The Attorney-General j then demurred in law , and required tbat the tTavereerB ( should infibmtly join Tho role to join in demurrer to a plea in abatement is al » o a four-day mle ; but Mr Smith , stood on the high horse of VTfcioitative , and insisted , with unconstitutional pei tinacity , that tb . ? Crown should have privileges denied to the common subj .-cts of the realm ; and that , to speed forward with his prosecution , tbe ordinary roles of Ihe Court abouid be set aside . Mr . Moore ' s just rebuke locked the mouth of ' Mr . Smith . The Court without hesitation granted the fuur additional daja . ,
On the twentieth the joinder was put in , and the following day fixed for the argument When first taken . Counsel for the Traversers had hopes of success ; but on consideration of tbe question , their cojjfidenc-2 gave way , and it only remained for them to fi ^ ht out tbe fight as best they might After an able argument , on both sides , the Court decided Bstoinst tbe plea , ' chit fly on the argument 06 incenveKieiM ; for if wituesaes sliould be examined in open Coart at the City ( Commission , then all those -who had suffered under , the opposite system -were illegally punished . The j jedi ^ meat of Jutfge Perrin was remaikable for cleverness , and admirable good sense . .
When judgment was prononnced , Mr . Smith called on the Traversers to plead forthwith , relying on ibe case of the King v . Sheridan , in which , on a judgment j to answer over , there was an immediate plea of tbe general issue , Mr . Whiteaide and Mr . Hatcbell sought another four- ^ ay role , which lay in the discretion of the Court , and was not of strict right The Conrt , on the ground that no sifiiiJavits -vj ere made to show the necessity of complying with tbe demand , negatived the claim . Tbe Traversers then severally appeared , snd pleas of " Not Guilty" were entered by the Clerk of the Crown . The Attorney-General then stated that notices should , be served at once on tbe Traverses , to tbe ( fivct that j on Friday evening he Wi > uld m&ve for a Trial at Bar , and s < 5 =. y certain therefore . The day mentioned in the , notice was the 11 th of December . On Friday last he
moved accordingly , -when Mr . Henn met bim With afBdavits setting forth such powerful grounds for further time , that to resist the priuciple of his application was impossible ; nor was th « demand of the Traversers unreasonable , to * xtend the time to the let of Fefc ., considering the vast number r > f meetings , speeches , . resolutions , letters to be put in evidence by the Crown , ; and which it will take a lengthened preparation to meet Se early a day as the 11 th of December was out j of the question—it would be pressing for & conviction at ' the expense of ju « tice . What Government , or the tfficer of what Government , would insist , without irremediable damage o' character , or disregard of common ' justice , on trying the Tra-verseis with the prtsfcnt jury liBtf It might be done , but eui bonoi Would it strengthen the Administration , or inspire the people with a confidence in the laws ?
In another point of view the poetponf meDt was also most desirable . It is well that parties should come to > the investigation of this all-important sul j ; ct with minds purged of that acidity which the yr ^ ceediiigs of the last three wetks was calculated to create . The Attorney-General will have time to riflect : and time , we feope , will act as the corrector of that infirmity of temper to which he has too often yielded . If be do not ¦ observe more calmness and evennea-s of demeanour—' if he does not keep down that fretfulness and irritability ¦ which are incompatible with the gravity and authority with which these solemn causes should be conducted , it were well for his character that be had never under- i taken them . He Telies strongly on his duty to tht ; Crown . Let him do that du > y by legitimate means ; ) but let him not > transgress it—of this the * e is the more danzer .
The Attorney-General has said , perhaps with exaggeration , " that the history of tke world does not contain a more momentous record than these trials ¦ will furnish . " We cannot understand the allusion . We could name several trials at least as momentous in tlitii const qutnees , which have not challenged the records of the world . But at least they will be snificiently interestiag and important to fix the attention of Europe on their progress . Ctowh subpeeaas will be served on Sir Robert Peel , Lord Stanley , the I > uke of Wellington , and Sir James Graham . In addition to the foregoing , on Saturday last another application was made to the Court ef Qjaeen ' s Bench for a list of the witnesses endorsed on tbe Indictment This application , though very ably sustained on the part of tbe Traveraers by Messrs . O'Hagan and Whiteside , was refused , Judge Perrin dissenting . —Dublin Mon tor .
SCEM IS COX . BT . A circumstance occurred in the Court of Queen ' s Beneh on Saturday -whick created quite & SCHMltiOD among the Bar , and has been much talked of in public After the three Judges had delivered thtii judgment refusing the application above noticed , for the names of the witnesses endorsed on the Indictment , Judge Perrin proceeded to deliver his judgment dissentiDg from his Learned Brethren . It waB observed th % t one member of the Bench did not trtat the judgment of his Learned Brother -with that
respect to which it was so eminently tnirtled . He appeared impatient and restless , opening and closing his d = ik , shciS-rig bia papers , and otherwise interrupting Judge Perrin , who at last stopped suddtnly in the middle of a sentence , and , turning to bis Learned Brother , said , with an unmi&takesble Toice and manner— " 1 beg your pardon , " whereupon the said Learned Brother threw himself back in bis Beat , and remained perfectly quiet till Judge Perrin had concluded his judgment , which is regarded by the profession as , in every respect , worthy of his hisb reputation bs an able constitutional Judge . —Dublin Monitor .
ZTIDEXCE FOB DEFENCE . By some means or other , the following letter has found its way to the press : —
The Queen v . 0 Connell and others . 23 , William-street , Dublin , 4 th Nov ., 1843 . Deab asd Ret . Sih—From the course adopted by the Crown Solicitor in this case yesterday , I conclude that he intends to prove acts and speeches at -various meetings held during the summer , and at which Mr . O'Connell attended , indepemiy of Mullaghmast and Clifden ; some of the crotrn witnesses in attendance upon ihe ^ rand jory came from joar district , and I therefore wish to fcnow whether or not we could get one or two respectable , intelligent , and faitu « W 0 Tthj witnesses , to depose to the peaceable character of the meeting held at Mallow , and to contradict any evidence which may be given , that the parties attending at that meeting proceeded there in military or menacing array * It would be extremely useful if we could negative this charge by
respectable witnesses who are not Repealers , and who will proTe that the procession was of the ordinary character , and tended to preserve peace and order at the meeting ; and that they did net apprehend danger to themselves or to the community from the meeting in question , or from the agitation generally . The higher ( be claw of persons we could prodmee torir , er ^ nee to this effect the bttter , and rfH ^ L , ^ K * & ** "" nj " » » iddlc station conaritatiL ^ S * - * m * B done ) that the Bepeal roW ^ fe " ^ " »*> nvenient and minnnderatood by ^ njlJTOnld not lead to * n enl resnlt , while they BSpWrafcrtSi-ss ^ s ^ sps ^ sartittss- SftSS" - * -W SSWk If J am Dot mistaken , the habit of march ™* by trades , temperaBce bands , &c ., has been almost a

national habit and for a length of time ; and if so ( in yoar district ) the witnesses -we select should be thoaa who . in truth and in good faith to the country , feel themselves ( as 1 would , do ) bound to give evidence to that effect . I witnessed several of those processions in Limerick . In April last I saw one in honour of the Rev . Mr . Mathew , and on another occasion I saw the trades in procession attend the chairing of the city members , and at other times they met Mr . G'Connell , &c . ; and these processions mi fc htaawell be called military array as the procession to and from the meeting held at Mallow , and now complained of .
As to the order in which men on horseback appeared , I should like to have some details . I am told they did not attempt to move in military array , but that their order was for the protection of those who walked , and to prevent confusion from their numbers ; and that by that arrangement the people mounted on horseback , from each district , did no more than fall into order as they met their companions , and thus proceeded to the meeting behind Mr . O'CoDnell's carriage . It is very desirable , after you consider these suggestions , that I should know as Boon as possible the names , residence , station , and character of the witnesses you consider eligible , accompanied by a distinct statement of the evidence which each shall be prepared to give on the trials .
I am , dear and reverend sir . Your faithful , humble servant , Piebce Mahony . Rev . Dr . Collins , P . P . of Mallow . In reference to this letter , the Times of Monday has the following : — "One consequence springing from this procrastination of the trial must be hailed as highly profitable to Mr . Pierce Mahouy , if we may jud ^ e by a letter of that strenuous personage . " The learned attorney will now be enabled to ' select , ' and sift , and sort , his witnesses from all counties of the kingdom , such as may be qualified
to prove certain things ; as , for instance—1 st , that the meeting at Mallow was quite a * peaceable' assemblage , and thai the parties attending it did ' not march thither in military array ; ' secondly , to give an opinion , as 'Ae ( Mr . Mahouy ) wauld do' 'that the Kepeal agitation , though inconvenient and misunderstood by many , would not lead to any evil result ? thirdly , to bring into notice ' all the passages in Mr . (/ Council ' s speeches urging peace ; ' ' fourthly , lo prove , * as he , Mr . Mahony , would do , )' that the habit of marching by trades , temperance hands , &c , 'has almost become o national' ( instead of an insurrectionary ) * habit '
" Now , we do not at all blame Mr . Mahony for trying , by all ihe most ingenious methods m his power , to got up evidence of the abova exculpatory siamp on behali' of hia accused caeuts . Testimony to that extent , at least , must doubiicss be absolutely indispensable to persona in tho predicament of Mr . O'Connell ; but , whether sucn evidence may be most easily procurable from parties who have witnessed , or from those who have not witnessed , the processions and proceedings of Mr . Daniel O'CohdpI ] , and
his repealing fraternity , it is not for us to divine . Tnero will probably be no inconsiderable amount of swagger kept up by the Repeal faction and its organs out of doors , until the moment when a verdict of guilty shall have made bullying no longer available , or au acquittal rendered it no longer needful . Should that verdict be agaiust the traversers , it may perhaps depend upon tho species or degree of punishment awarded , whether hopeless despondency or fearless desperation is to be the result among the Komish democracy . "
FBESCUMEN IN IRELAJiD . A paragraph under the above head , which appears in the last number of the Fermanagh Reporter , announces a piece of intelligence bordering rather more on romance than reality . It ruus as follows v" The persons who attended the late Repeal Meetings throughout Ireland , in the char icttr of Frouch emissaries , and who created no lutlo fear amongBt the timid , and no little boasting amongst the revolutionists , were neither more nor less than officers of the London police , seat over to Ireland for the purpose of watching the proceedings , and noting the
seditious expressions of the leaders of the movement . They were ail ( 40 m number ) men of first rate abilities , well acquainted with Ihe continental languages and countries , and in every way qualified to pass for what they seemed 10 be—the delegates from the discontented part of tho French nation , which yui looks forward to tho restoration of ileury V . It 13 said lhat those j ; on' . lemen cm prove certain offors from the Repealers , which will substantiate the assertion of tbe Attorney General , that he would prove tho existence of a wicked and dangerous conspiracy . It all this be true , it is a master-s'n > ke of the Government , worthy of the days of Fouel . e or Savary . "

TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . Fellow Coc > trymejj , —Attend to me . Attenjl to me earnestly , snd with that perfect reliance on my advice which yon have so often exhibited . You have never had occasion to regret taking my advice . Before I proceed on tbe present occasion , I feel it my duty—a most pleasi . g duty—to return you thanks for the complete tranquillity that prevails . It delights me , and it delights all your friends , to see the perfect traDquilli-y and submission to the law that pervades the country . Yoar enemies are anxious that you should disturb the peace ; that jxu should be guilty of outrage , and violence , and criiue . Thank heaven , you are determined , that nothing shall provoke you to any species of riot , or tnmult , or violence . How I thank yon from the bottom of my heart for that determination !
There are , however , two topics on which I feel it my duty to address you , and to which I anxiously entreat you earnest attention . The first of these relates to Ribbonism . I tell you emphatically , that Ribbonism is the raest fwolish , aa well aa tbe moat vicious combination that evfer W 8 £ formed . There is nothing so hateful and detestable in Ireland as KibboDisin . It is as silly as it is -wicked . I . tends to encourage drinking in low and unlicensed public houses ; and in fact , it is set on foot , and tept ap , principally for the benefit of persons who do not deserve to be publicans , and who , in general , do actually sell liquor without license .
1 am sure that the respectable publicans all ( with me ) discourage it . I know they do in JDubl n and in many other places ; and 1 believe in mi . No mattui whether it be connected with liquor or noti ic is a vicious , ciuel , a foolish , a Urittleas , and absurd confederacy . It naver did any good , and it nevta cau do any good . It causes assaults , and riots , und ruffianly beatings , without being productive of any one advantage . I hate it from my inmost soul . No man who ie known to be a Ribbonaian shall ever be admitted to be a Repealer . ' If the Repeal Wardens do not supprebt Ilibtronism in their neighbourhoods , their names shall be Struck out of the Rspeal Association altogether 1 . '
1 bear with the deepest regret , that in the counts Cavan another set ol Ribbonmen , calling themoclvet " Billy Smiths , " or some such foolish name , have lately made their appearance . They are worse , i £ possible , than the former Ribbonmen . No man that is known to have anything to do with the " Billy Smiths ' shall ever be admitted as a Repealer ! I cor . jure;—I entreat—and 1 wish I could command , every honest man who knows of the existence of •• Billj Smiths" and Ribbonmen to denounce them at once tc the magistrates . At all events , they -will Boon be be trayed by their own companions and instigators ; and wnen they ceme to be imprisoned and fined or transported , they wiil than bitterly regret not having tabes my affectionate and anxious advict !
I most respectfully solicit the Catholic Clergy to an nounce these my sentiments in every locality in ¦ whicl there may possibly exist Ribbonmen o » " Bill ; Smiths . " I , in like manner , solicit them to add ti my advice the weight of their veneration counsel am authority . There ib another topic upon which I -wish to addres the people , and to offer them my earnest advise . I relateBto a practice now beginning to grow np , of light ing bonfires on one frivolous pretence or another . It i & foolish and dangerous custom > it can do no good , an m&y do a great deal of harm even accidentally . Le there not be any repetition of that meat absurd am seaseleas practice . This ia Viy advice—will yon let m say it is my command ?
In Ulster particularly it ought to be avoided . Ian told that M > Hie of the Orangemen vhere consider it as u inralt—that is a decisive reasoa wx > 7 it shoald nevoi be repeated . No honest Repealer wom'd inanlt any man Every honest Repealer would conciliai e all men of al parties I . Let there be nothing more . beard of tcew bonfires in Ulster , or in any put of Ireland . I cannot conclude -without again offering . to you hi ] moBt cordial thanks for the universal peace k nd qu / e that prevails . Let every man in every part of . ( relanr be tranquil and quiet , and conduct , himself peaceably snd loyally . Let him totally avoid any riot , tumuli , or violence . Whatever may be the event of tbe pending trials , let every man stay at home in quiet , and be sot tempted by any body to any species of breach of the peace . Every man -who is guilty of the slightest breach of the peace is aa enemj of mine and of Ireland ,

REPEAL ASSOCIATION—Monday . The weekly meeting of this body waB held to-day in the Conciliation Hall . Mr . O Council attended . P . CURTIS , Esq ., of Waterford , was called to the chuir . Tbe Inspector of Police and the Government Reporter wete present . Mr . O Connell , read a letter from James Alexander Boyd , Esq ., of Drumguir , county Tyrone , a Presbyterian gentleman of high standing , and proposed his admission as a member of tbe association . He ( Mr . O'C . ) felt at once that on every rational Presbyterian mind the glorious declaration of the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland , that they would not accept a state provision , would make its due impression—( hear , bear ) . What became now of tbe paltry excuse that was made by some persons
for not joining the association—that , forsooth , they feared Catholic ascendancy ? Why , tbe hierarchy had declared that they would not- have ascendancy at allthey had refused the material ; for ascendancy was good for nothing if there be : not pounds , shillings , and pence in it—( laughter ) . Tho admission of Mn Boyd was carried unanimously , : Mr-. O ' CONNBtx . read a letter from Youngstown , Toronto , Canada , remitting £ 22 10 n ; also a letter from GUrone , Bualla , enclosing £ 24 10 s . He also proposed the admission of the Rev . Thadeus O'Malley aa a member—( cheers ; . He would describe who he was ; but they were aware of that already . Mr . O'Malley and he differed on tbe Poor Laws . iMr . O'Malley was honestly for them ; he ( Mr . O C ) was honestly against them ; but they were not the less sincere friends on account of that difference' —( heari .
The admission of the Ktv . Gentleman was carried by acclamation . : Mr . O'Consell next read a letter from the Rev . Mr . Giles , a Baptist clergyman in Leeds , expressive of the delight felt by the Complete Suffrage Society of Lseds at tbe manner in which the Catholic Hierarchy had rejected the state provision . It appeared , said Mr . O'ConneH , that the Government intruded to prosecute tbe Corn Law League after they had succeeded in convicting the Repealers—Uam » ht « : r ) . The Association te « joiced that the Complete Suffrage Society should join them at a moment like the present He ( Mr . O'Con-0611 ) begged to express the gratitude of tbe Association , and of all the wise and the good throughout Ireland , to Mr . Giles , and to ' the men who authorised him to write that very gratifying communication —( hear , hear ) . ¦
The Rev . Mr . O'Mallet proceeded to address the meeting . He eaid he joined the As&ocMtioa as a Federalist—tbe principle of Federalism was not in good repute in that Association , because it was supposed to be a compromise of tho agitation for a complete national legislative independstice—( bear , hear)—but that appeared to him a total misconception of the matter-He woald maintain that Federalism , properly understood and properly applied , so far from being a compromise of what they sought to attain , secured to them every advantage ; besides it had tbe additional advantage , that it afforded a ground for all the truehearted love *» of their country to meet together for the common weal of their common country .
Mr . Steele announced that , in addition to Lord Plunkett , bo wonld examine on his trial Sir Robert Peel , Sir James 0 raham , Lord Lyndburst , Mr . Bond Hughes , and tbe Duke of Wellington—( laughter ) . The Repeal rent for the week was £ 030 Oa . 8 d .

When the displeasure , amounting tc rage , with which the Emperor Nicholas has received this book shall be taken into consideration , ' says our Paris letter " a more striking or
intolerable defiance could not have been offered to him bj France than is conveyed in the announcement ol the Moniteur , that King Louis Philippe has ordered for all his libraries copies of a work which deals sc eoverely with Russia , and which the Emperor and the whole Russian nation have declared to be false from the beginning to the end . This affront wil appear tha moro obvious and intentional , when i ! shall be borne in mind that the Marquis de Custine an avowed legitimatist , is looked upon as a persona enemy of the King .

A great meeting of Repealers was held at the Tabernacle , in the city of New ^ York , and another still greater meeting was held at the Park . Strong resolutions , not very flattering to this country , were passed . i : The yellow fever has been more than usually malignant this ! year in the Southern States . In the city of New ( Orleans alone , it has carried off upwards of 800 , mostly Germans , Irish , and Americans . The proportion of the English , Scotch , and other European nationa , are mall as compared with those we have named . The fever still lingered . The frost was expected to put it to flight . That accompaniment of winter had reached so far south as Mobile , and no doubt it would soon reach New Orleans alsoi

DANIEL'S NEW CRUTCH . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOllTHERN STAR . Sir . —Daniel has long reefed on crutches ; and since hia tergiversation has made bis lann-nesa more evident , every quack who has an hankering after a little " rint , " fitt ^ s to bis support , not from any wish to save bis neck , but from the fear that should he cease to hobble about , the " fleecing system" might fall into th 6 same grave . Leeds bus quacks ; and L . eda has furnished him with a crutch , for yvhieh he appears very grateful . But , Sir , Daniel may not know the establishment where his prop baa been manufactured ; er , I believe , he who has been bo much accustomed to behold " monster meetings , " would have cast the slender support iuta the fire as an insult to him and tbe Irish people .
However , iis the Sinr shines in Ireland ; and as , I apprehend Djniel gfizjs upon it , —be having taken Mr . O'Connor ' s advice , by denouncing'bonfires , &c , —I will , with your permission , tell him taat the " Complete " Society in Leeds is less than the atom which dances in the sun-beam . As a " Society" it is a nonentity . A few struggling lost sheep sometimes get panned up in a small room in the Black Boy passage ; and . in secret conclave , uiafee a bleating , which they dub" resolutions " of the Society , and whieh they send forth to the world with all tha pomp and ceremony of an Imperial Parliament . In Leeds , the place wherein they do their mighty deeds , and from whence their sympathy for Ireland and admiration of the Catholic hieracby flows , they are comparatively unknown ; and none uiketh " where are they ?"
I hope , Sir , that Daniel will not be deluded by such artifices , and made a mere tool to puff perfect ii , significance into notoriety : for all who fenow how matters really st&ud must laugh at the credulity of the " Liberator" and at the presumption of the Would-be'a , but are not . Yours truly , Leeds , Nov . 29 , 1843 . WM . Rider .
