The following in from the Cobs Reporter received " this evening . John Mitchel stands no moro on Irish goil . He wflB removed , at four o ' clock tbls morning , to the Scourgo steamer , which arrived in the harbour yesterday , and sailed for Bermuda this morning .- If twelve moatbo pass over ere he stands again , a fres man , on bla native shore , Ireland deserves all the obloquy and disgrace that can be inflicted on her . Bermuda i » one of the strongest fortresses in the Queen ' i dominions—another St Helena ; bat this makes no difference . ......

IRISH FELON . ' All the necessary preparations are being made for thegpeedy i 88 Ueof the successor of the United
Irishkin . mu . mitciiei / s last p 0 blic d 0 combnt . The following letter was addressed on the day of hia conviction , by Mr Mitchel to the St Patrick ' s Club , of which he was president :-To the Secretary of the St Patrick ' * Confederate Club . Kawgate , Friday , 1 o ' clock . My dear Sir , —In taking farewell of tbe St Patrick ' * Clab , whfoh I do with deep gratitude , for their unwatcr-Jng kindness to me , I wi » t » to make some remarks to them on the position of the oanga . There is no reanon to be dispirited , p rovided the Confederates vrill from this day laetb iasiai oa an aggressive conrse of action being entered oa And steadfastly persevered in ; I mean that a resolute stand should be taken for righfc and justice
sgaiBst « law , for the common privileges of manhood against police constables and soldiers . I tell you It will never do to recognise for one instant tboir ruffian Aots of Parliament for laws , nor to suffer continual insults and buffetlngs at ths hands of men in blue coats armsd Jrith trUDCheoas . The spirit of na uallon could liVO through such an ordeal , if it be much longer continued . You may organise , and recruit and arm , and whatyou call prepare , t ill harvest , or till an Earopaaa war , or till the eky Ms ; buttao oauae will be going back in « tead of forward . Now , to insure safe aad rapid progriss , the Confederation absolutely needs a more efficient executive he » a . I seed have no delicacy an this point , because I have expressed to the principal members of the Council in personmy decided oplalon that the Counolt has not
, been doing its doty , and that constituted as It ii , real service of tia sort now wanted iB not to be expected from It . The Council Is at present , and always has been , a clique or close borough , and the practise of adding at pleasure to its own nombero , has a tendency to make it become continually more and more of a clique and less and Ibbb independent and effective . Do not understand ma asinteadiag' to undervalue either the character or the abilities of most of the leaders , ' as they are called now In the Council . For several of them , and especially / or my dear friend , Mr Meagher , I have the highest esteem and regard . But , I say , that csnatitnted as the Council Ib , arranged as all its p ' roceediDgs are , in a select circle of gentlemen , no bold forward movement is to bo expected . I mean , in
short , that the Confederates , the Clubs , the people In some form , Bhould actually elect the members of the Council—sayfsr Bit months , and not by any means BHffer it to add to its own numbers . Of course , this would violate tbe ' Convention Act , which I consider an additional argument is favour of tbe thing I snggest . It is plain that no unpacked jury will ever convict for sedition in Ireland , and I hold it tote absolutely essential to tba csusb , that ire should continually put the government to the disgraceful and diabolical resource of pact-Ing , This is needfal , in order to roasa Indignation , to eicite all honeBt and manly feeling in this country in oar favour , to show , what BritiBh government in this country rests opoa—viz ., frand , force , corruption , perjury , and blasphemy ; but , above all , it ij needful , iu
order to keep alive ani increase the spirit of the people . Believe me Jt is not armB , it la not food , it is not organi . sation , opportunity , or union , ' er foreign sympathy Ireland wants—it is spirit—a proud , defian : intolerance of slavery and scorn , of pretended legal penalties , ' as well as other personal consequences . When this soul has come iato Ireland , her opportunity Ib came , till then —never 1 Bever I ! I know that in writing tbia to you I subject myself to the imputation ( which I hear Borne Confsderatoa dare to CBBt on men who hold such-sentim ? nta ) that I am an agent of the Brftfs& government , hired to excite what is called a premature Insurrection . ' Let me entreat the Club to look with dislike upon any of its members who is ready to make such churgeB lightly against others ! This wretched cowardly spirit of mutual suspicion is really the moat fatal element X see ia onr movement at present ; and the man atnongBt us who charges another with so hateful a crime , or hints itor says such , or sach cosdact , opinions , or ad «
, Vice , look like such an Iniquity , ought , indeed , to be prejared to substantiate the charge at his peril . Our proceeding * hitherte have been public and above board , and I had hopes that our excellent principle of no concealment would have got rid entirely of the mischief of Informers and detectives , and their oSlous trade . But I find that the mutual distrust created by continual hints of tbefr existence may , as disastrously affect our action as the very things themselves . I do not know that 1 bare more to say to you except to exhort your earnestly to go on . The villages of tbese oriminul persecationB mast show every one of you that It is now only tho more neceisary to provide arms and ammunition , so as to have the power aHd spirit—the opportunity will come from Heaven , to abolish tha frlghful system which , under the names of law and gover&meut , lays waste and beggars , and degrades our noble country . I remain , dear Sir , your friend , Jchh Mitcbel .
THB NOBLE HBROISM OF THB LA 3 T SCBHE , The Ddbiih Ete ' hino Herald , a Conservative paper , pays the following tribute to the noble heroism displayed by Mitchel in the last ecene : — It is very easy for tho Times and Pdnch—the bully and the buffoon of Engliih journalism—to call this man a ' monkey' and a coward ; ' but those who saw and heard him speak his last words to an Irish audience from tho dock In Green-street , acknowledged In the unbroken defiance the genuine abandonment of self and the stoical devotion with which he mat hia fato—some .
thing that was uamistakably noble and heroic—something that in another causa would have beeB splendidand which evea doemed , and justly doomed , as he ( tood there—3 Won going within a few brief houra into banishment—clo ' . hed him with s . certain grandeur , op . posed to which the Viceroy , In his timidity , his duplicity , and hia triumph , looked marvellously little indeed ; but meaner still does this great Whig functionary appear in those small traits of detailed , and , as it would eeem , gratuitous severity , which would almost indicate the spleen and viadictivaness of a personal animosity ,
Amongst the subscribers to the Mitchel fund are Dr Blake , Bishop of Dromore and Lord Cloncurry . His lordship ha 3 contributed £ 100 .
PROSCRIPTION . Dr Gray , proprietor of the Fbeemab ' s Journal , and Mr Joseph Henry Dunne , an active member ot the Repeal Association , were refused admission to the bar this day . The cause of rejection ia reported to ho the appearance of seditious articles in the Freeman and the delivery of a seditious speech by Mr Dunne on a oertain day , for whioh offsnoea they were held inadmissible .
EKPEAL ASSOCIATION . Dublin , June 5 . —There was acrowded audience in Conciliation-hall . Dr M'Keon presided . Mr J . O'Cohnkll aaid : He would conclude hia motion with one or two remarks , and also by putting a notice on the books , provided the term ; of arrangement on which Repealers were divided met the ap « probation of the committee of the Association , specially summoned to meet to-morrow , and to continue sitting every day in the week—providing these terms would be agreed to , it would be hia duty on that day week , as he said , to move that the Association do stand indefinitely adjourned . The consequence of such a step will ba taken solely as the grounds on which a new body is to arise . ( Cheers . ) In the
Irish Confederation at preEent existing , similar steps would be adopted at their meeting to-morrow . The terms of arrangement will be submitted not to any particular members of the Council of the Confederation , bat to the entire bady of that Council . If they agree it will have the effect of causing an indefinite adjournment of the Confederation ; thus the two bsdies will cease to exist , bo that a new body , representing all sections of Irishmen who have been bo long divided will spring up . He had not come lightly to the conviction that a new association must be formed , but they all had to agree with the will of the country .
; The people generally wore influenced by ono daep sentiment—union almost at any price—union immediately among all Repealers . ( Lnud cheers ) One thing wan quite competent to show that they could not go on in that Association—he alluded to the decline in the rent . The country w& 3 refusing them support . They could not complain , nor remonstrate against it , for they made it known in the moat unmistakable manner . The weekly rent was inadequate to sustain the Association . The rent was only £ 12 last week , and on this day it fell short even of that sum . It was impossible , therefore , tocentinue without union , The country bad spoken out , and would not give them

May God . be with him ! May Heaven vouchsafe him a continuance of tbat patience and fortitude , which sustained him in hia past sufferings . Poor Mitchel ! So brave ! so faithful ! so generous ! bo confiding ! and , alas ! so deceived . ' and so unfortunate ! But ho was not unfortunate , after all ! To a noble spirit , like bis , it is no misfortune to Buffer for country and for liberty . Tbe greatest men . of ancient
or modern timea , suffered ia a similar cause ; and if Mitohel fell , Uo Is nit tha ' felon ' s' doom—ho fell glo . riouely , and his name will stand proudly amongst tbe best and bravest , not only of Ireland , but of the bread universe . The consciousness of this fact must sustain the gallan t martyr in his exile ; it mast console his beautifal and bereaved wife in her desolation ; it mast be a source of pride to tho ' young men' who looked to him as a guide , and , as a prophst ; and above all , it cannot but cement old dissensions , and bind together every section of Irishmen into one vast indissoluble ' ENEUT ' to British corruption and British misrule .
Tbe people of Dublin are as tranquil as poialble . There is no bustle , no ' row , ' not so mnch as a policeman pommelled , nor a lamp fractured , and yet the Castle la still in a state of siege . Lord Clarendon still ' See ? pikes in clond 9 , and smells them in the wind . ' The anti-union manifestoes of the Irish Confederation , In green , and bine , and pink , and orange , glare oa every post , and pillar , and . door-way ia Dublin ; and the 15 , 000 ' reel coats , ' and the 1 , 500 ' blue coats , ' at present located on the Liffey , are no more competent to frighten the people into their old 'fair and easy' ways , than the
terrors Of the convict hulk were to subdue the proud soul and heroic courage of Joha Mitcbel . Oh , no ! There will bo no re » t for the Whigs ! Clarendon has a snag berth of it hero in Pablln , but , after all , he enjoys ao sinecure 1 Tbe tortures of TantaluB wore but chimeras of the poetic brain—not so those of eur unlucky Lord'tieutenant ! Every day brings new ' botheration ' to poor Villlers ! He is in a fresh dilemma every time he enters the Council Chnmber . As the lazzaronl of tha Irish cipltal would say— ' More of that to bis oxcellenoy every time he seca a pavlng . stone !'
Many thought that Smith O'Brien was withdrawing from the camp , beoause he abBented himself during tbe trial of Mr Mitchel . The Nobthebn Stab seems to have its suspicions that way too , but I am happy to say that tuoh is not the case . Whatever may have been Mr O'Brien ' s motives for retiring from Dublin during those memorable days , it certainty ttob not cowardice which induced them . Smith O'Brien is not a ooward ! All the world knows that ! Aad if he ba a renegade , I know not where to seek for faith , or honour , or devotion , amongst Irishmen , No , no I Smith O'Brien has not the fire , the glow , the daring , the enthusiasm , the heroism , of poor Mitchel , but aurely . his honour , nis fidelity , his love of country , is not one iota less , Sinoe he enlisted in the cause of Mb fatherland , hia actions were
alika honourable to himself and to his country , and he suffarfd many pains , and penalties , and privations ! for 1 faith that is in him . ' Bat if any doubt arose in the people's minds as to Smith O'Brien ' s fidelity , tbe manifesto which be issued to tho people of Ireland last week , ia mare than sufficient to dissolve the delusion . This manifesto comes in the obnpo of an address from tho Council of the Irish Confederation to the peop lo of Ireland . It is the most extraordinary document yet issued in thooe extraordinary days , It is all so good In He way , that I cannot select or make ertraets from it , but it will open the eyes of the Whl ge , and all thoso who Imagined that tho martyrdom of Mlftchol would pacify the Irish people , or that the ' Scourge ' transport boro away , to Bermuda , that ' new soul which has come Into Ireland . ' This address , bearing the Bignature of Wm . Smith O'Eriea , proves that 'the
descendant of Brian Bom' haB not degenerated . The oldhero of Clontarf could not addrsaa bin Dalcasei&ns moro openlj' and stoutly than does his illustrious scion , the present generation of Irishmen—tho existing enemies of the 'STRANGER . ' It is nothing short of a declaration ef war agnin » t the Whiga , though they onv . from tno peculiar mauner in which it is worded , the Attorney-General can make nothing of it-It i » neither more nor less than a CALL to the IriBb . people to ' stand together and to abandon every h « p 0 of ameliorate by Wm t » S « addr 8 " iD qUe 8 ti ° - Tothl 8 a ( ldre 8 " thefi wS ^ .

Thft National TribUtO for ( he wife and family af John Mitohel goes on swimmingly .

Every towa , every pariah in Ireland will comoforwara , and though the country was neverao depressednorthepeople so miserable , still a splendid offering will be realised , We are proud to find Mr Feargus O'Connef amongst the ranks of those who offer aid and consolation to the heroic Mrs Mitcbel .

He never forgot the clalsao of his native country , and besides , having , tasted of the ' blttar draught' of British persecution himself , he can the more readily sympathise with his fellow sufferers . Tbe example of'Mr O'Connor should urge others on tbe English Bide of tbe Channel in tbe same path .
it was an error of mine when I said , last week , that the household property of Mr Mitobel vras seized on by the government . The officers of the Castle visited the office of the United Ibijusuh and seized on tbe effects found there , bat they ' came a day too late !

They visited the residence of Mr Ultchel , Oatario-terrace , Rathmines , but were baulked there also . Mr Wm . Mitchel , the' felon ' s' brother , was found in possession of the goods and property there , so the balllffi had to walk away empty-handed , They searched for treasonable papers and documents , but : found nothing Id that way .

TRADES' MOVEMENTS . THE MECHANICS . TO THE EDITOB OP THE HOBTHEBN STAJt . Deab Sib , —In the columns of yoar valuable paper of the 13 ih ult ., I find a letter from Mr Alexander Fletcher , ¦ boiler-maker , of Lambeth , getting forth the case ef tbe prosecuted shoemakers , and throning no small portion of abuse upon the meohanics ; end as one that has b * en closely connected with all the transactions referred to in my frieed Fletcher ' s letter , I consider I am in duty bound to set him right , in justice to the mechanics , the delegate meeting , and their corresponding secretary ; and also A 8 Buch reports , if allowed to go abroad oneontradicted , will bate a tendency to do much harm , and create much ill-feeling between ns and the mechanics generally . The money subscribed by tbe boiler-makers , towards tbe Newton conspiracy , was £ 118 ii . 6 Jd . We never were solicited to subscribe this sum , and as we voluntarily gave it them , Icensider no one has a right to tell them of it again through the columns of the press .
My friend Fletcher quotes the treatment of tbe boilermakers'deputation by tbe delegates and the corresponding Btci' 6 ta ? y of the meohanics . Being eno of the deputation I will state the facts : —It was agreed bj oar meeting that a deputation should wait upon the delegates of the mechanics then sitting in Manchester , to obtain certaia information relative to the National Association of United Trades , &c . We proceeded to the Brewers ' Arms , Rochdale-road , and sent for M ? Seliby , to whom tvo explained our mission - , he requested us to wait a short time while he made our business known ia the
room , and returned us answers to onr quostionB to the best of his knowledge ; he said tbat our queatloms had not been answered by them , but the general fettling was in tho manner he ba l answered our questions . Mr Selsby expressed his sorrow that we could not be admitted into the room to enter more fully into tbe matter , but they had « uch a press of business on hand tbat they were very desirous of going on with it as 6 peedy a « po ? . sible ; and any one acquainted with the state they were in at that time with the Newton conspiracy , and the Belfast and Rochdale strikes , must judge that they had not much , time to throw away .
I must flatly contradict the assertion of my friend Fietcher , that Mr SeJsby stated , ' they could not think of lowering themselves to receivo us . ' He treated us with coHrtesy—listened to our questions—returned to us and answered them—and tbe result of our interview with Mr Selsby had nbetfeot whatever upon OW meeting with a view of preventing us te join the National Association of United Trades ; we had a chance of giving a full hearing to the deputation , as we appointed a day on purpose to hear thorn ; but our interview with Mr Sehby was momentary and without previous notioe , and I am satisfied tbat no insult was offered to us , and our questions were answered in a plain and
straightforward manner . If my friend Fletcher nUhea to make an appeal to the trades on behalf of the peraeouted shoemakers I hope ho will confine , himself to tbat subject alone , without dragging the £ 130 , tbe delegate meeting at Manchester , and our interview vfitb Mr Sulsby , into the question , and it will have a better tendency to operate friondly upon the minds of the trades generally . I am euro Jhat whatever the boller-makers give , it 1 b with a free and open beart , without a desire of making a public boaet of their liberality . I remain your humble servant and constant reader , John Robe&ts , Corresponding ; Secretary to the Friendly Boiler . makers Society , No . 10 , Leaf-street , Hulm , Manchester .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOBTC £ S >» 8 ¥ A& . Sib , —Permit me to do an act of justice to Mr Selsby , of Manchester . I think Mr Newton has qaita mlinaderstood tho faota stated by Mr Fletoker , I do not think Mr F . states that QHy want of oonrtasy was shown to Messrs Parker , Peel , nnd Jacobs , the deputation from the National Association , who waited oa the Mechunics Dolegate Committee in Manchester , nor that the alleged offjnsire remflrij nas made to them . At all events , to prevent any such impressions obtaining credence , I beg te assure the trades , as ono of that deputation , tbat to us Mr Selaby ' a reception was perfectly courteous and friendly , and that Mr Newton ' s statement is qaite correct , and that tho deputation were folly satisfied with
the result of their interview with Mr Selsby . I must , at the same time , oxpreBS surprise that Mr Newton and his friends should never have heard before of the cruel case of the Inverness shoemakers , fleeing that the NoETTlERN Stab , of April 29 , contains a letter , headed 1 Trades Unions illegal , Hume ' s Acts repealed , and signed C . N , And previous to that , ou April 8 th , a lengthened roport of the case appeared under the National Trades Report , and terminating with a direct appeal to to the ttadea for their awutanco . I think it probnblo tbat a short twelve mpntbB eince the columns of the Stab had peculiar attraction for Mr Newton and friends . I mean , sir , when its generous and patriotic proprietor , and its taleiited edltorB , were appropriating its columns and wielding their pens in "behalf of the working men of Norton , What better medium then I woald ask
, could have been selected to bring the Inver . nees caso beforo the working men of England , than the only Eaglish journal that cares a bra » s fanhlBg for tho working men , or thfir grievances ! That Mr Nswton and his friends arc not resder 8 of the 8 x 411 , I am compelled to infer , and ainoerely regret , inasmuch as the poor Inverness shoemakers , havo thereby been deprived of tho sympathy and active support of a class of their fillow-workmen so likely , had they baen aware of their position , to assist them , However , sir , I hope it Is not jot too lato , now that tbe caso is fairly before them . I only repeat , that no case within my recollection ever presented a stronger claim upon the sympathies of all classes of working men , than that of tho ehoomakeis of Inverness ; I am eir , your obedient sarvant , Vfu .

CREMORNE GARDENS . These delightful gardens opened for the season on the 29 th ult . We visited them on Monday night , and observed that many improvements had been made Bince last year , 'i'he effect ia truly enchanting , and reminds us of the Elysium of the ancients , and the fairy tales of childhood . The various parterres are embellished with classic statues , and at dusk are illuminated with thousands of variegated lamps , as also in the beautiful pagoda , therein Bits an efficient band , which during the evening played several enlivening airs in admirable style , and from whence several excellent songs , comic and sentimental , were sang . < Telemachus , ' a splendid ballet of action , is
placed on the stage in a manner that reflects the greatest praise on tbe management ; tbe scenery and properties are of the most costly and gorgeous description , particularly the mountain stream and waterfall . The dancing of' Eucharis' and' Calypso , ' was excellent ; the rapid evolutions of the latter , were truly astonishing , and elicited bursts of applauae . After the ballet the visitors danced waltzes , quadrilles , and the polka , round the pagoda , a splendid brass band playing at intervals during the dances until a quarter past eleven , when the evening ' s entertainments concluded by a brilliant display of firewerka . We wish the spirited proprietor the success he merits , and have no doubt but that as tbe season advaucesi be will be amply rewarded for the cheap treat those gardens afford to the public .

THE COLOSSEUM , REGENT'S PARK . This is certainly the grandest of the London exhr bitions . The great panoramic picture of Paris now occupies the interior of the dome in which the pi 0 , tare of London was formerly exhibited at this inati tutiOD . The pictlire i » painted by Mr Dansoa , unde » the direction of Mr William Bradwell , and covers 46 , 000 square feet . The ecene is magnificent , 8 na equally delights and surprises the beholder . The united talent and labour of these two gentlemen have produced one of the most extraordinary pictures QTep exhibited , when the immense size of the production its extraordinary accuracy of representation of ge . * neral outline and of minute detail , and its admirable
pictorial illusion and expansiveness of distance , p ictorial perspective , and depth of atmosphere are con . eidered . The piature represents the city by moon , light , the sky being clear , and a few stars dispersed here arid there . The streets are illuminated by the lamps , and the lights in the markets and shop winaowa , and on the river and bridges , add to the effect , and prodnoe sufficient brightness to enable the view to be carried out to the full extent of the suburbs and afford the spectator ( who is supposed to look ' down from a balloon over the gardens of the Tuile . ries . ) a scope of vision which takes in alm 03 t every Object Of importance , The Seine and Us numerous bridges can bs accurately traced , and thus the localities of numerous important buildings and points
are easily fixed npan , and the spectator who has visited the French capital recognises the various objects of curieaity with which he has been familiar The Champs Elywes / the Barriere do l'Etoile , and the Aro de Trioaphe , and the Boiade Boulogne , are seen , and tbe gardens of the Tuileries , the palace itself , the Plaoe de la Concorde , the obelisk of Luxor , and the fountains , are conspicuous ^ objects . The management of the water df the fountains , which appears in motion , is admirable , and as a mere effect , the reflection of the moon ' s rays upon the water is certainly the most wonderful . So close is it tonatnre , tbat it hardly looks tho possible result of artifice . As a painting , this panorama deserves to bft highly praised ; it has been carefully executed , and the idea of reality is in many parts no strong that the
effect becomes deceptive . This 13 particularly felt when looking down upon the forward objeots . Th © senss of height ia then so great , that we do not appreciate the actual distance , but almost grow dizzy under the effect . The perspective is well managed ,, and some—indeed , the majority—of tho edifices ap . pear built up , and hardly seem to be depicted on a level surface . This is particularly the ease with the Chamber of Deputies , having looked down ob which for eorae moments we lost ourselves in the illusion . The colour is natural , and not exaggerated ; in many parts it is powerful , and in no place weak . The effect of moonlight is happily realised , and the clever manner in whioh the numerous lampB are imitated renders it more striking . We stropgly recommend all our friends to visit ' Paris by Night' during the Whitsun holidays .

MIUXAHT AFFIUT . On Saturday evening the neighbourhood oi Usher ' s-quay w&s disturbed by a confliot whioh took place between some soldiers of the disc and 55 th regiments . From all that could be learned it seemed that they were drinking in a public-house on the quay , and one of the 31 st having said that Mitohel should come back , or something to that effect , a 55 th man expressed hia contetuptfbF what had been said , and the result was a row , in which the 55 th were getting the worst of it when the picquet came round , and the combatants then decamped . There were forty or fifty soldiers engaged in the scuffle , but the weapons employed were of a no more serious character than their cross-belts and fists . Last evenin ? , at from eight to ten o ' clock , or thereabouts ,
there was a renewal of the scene in Barrack-street and in its neighbourhood , in which some of the 40 th and another regiment were said to havo been mixed up . Tbe soldiers fought in different places , and made their esoape whenever the picquet appeared , to recommence hostilities at some other cornet- of the street . The cause of the divsien all throu&h , related to' Repeal' or ' Mitchel , ' the 31 st being Tippenry boys , while the 55 th are an English regiment . The confliot was renewed on Sunday evening , when some soldiers of the 55 th received very severe bruises from their opponents ; one man ' s head was badly out , and his chaco was broken in pieces- He was taken to an apothecary ' s shop adjacent , aad had his wounds dressed . He said it was the determination of his regiment to' fight it out , and that tha conflict would be resumed .
On Monday a sale of Mr Mitchol's effects took place at his late residence on Ontario-terrace . Among the articles of vertu exhibited , were a pike of enormous dimensions , fashioned after his own model , without crook or axe , a perfect' queen of weapons , ' and two cavalry sabres . The rooms were crowded to suffocation by persons of all ranks , and every article offered for sale was eagerly bought up at greatly enhanced prices . Dublin , Jane 6 . —The meeting of the Confederation took place this evening , and was most nuraeroaaly attended . The excitement fully equalled in intensity any of the former gatherings in the Musio Ilall . The speaking was of the most' open and advised' charaoter ,
The police , informed of the olab processions , at an early hour blocked up all the approaches to the place of meeting . When the c \ ub 3 arrived , admittance was refused , unless they brp&e up their fcemi-military organisation and passed in single files . A parley took place , and after some time they were suffered to proced in detached parties . Mr Meagher was arrested , and taken to Sackvilleatreat police-station , where he was charged with having assaulted a police constable in the discharge of his duty . Mr Meagher was immediately after the charge liberated on hia own recognizances . An immense crowd of persons collected about the station , and trhen Mr Meagher re-entered the street he was most enthusiastically cheered on his way to the Musichall .
Mr John Byrne was also arrested on a charge ef attempting to rescue Mr Meagher and assaulting the police ; both charges will be heard this morning at Henry-street police-office . At the meeting upwards of 400 new members were admitted , among them Dr Antisel and Rev . T . O'Malley , Very long speeohes were delivered by Messrs Meagher and Duffy . The utmost harmony prevailed .
