OPINIONS OF THE IRISH NEWSPAPERS . PROGRESS OF REPEAL . We have jusi received our speeial report of the R ? peaJ demonstration at Cfisrleviile , and cheerfully put aside other matter to mate room for its insertion Tbe numbers that congregated were greater than at any of tie former meetings , but the same spirit pervaded and guided tie councils of all . Tbe thousands whom Peel ' s threat gathered round the standard of Repeal on ibis occasion , were almost beyond computation , V 6 t peace , and sobriety , and order , was universally prevalent .
The period at ^ hich we received the report precludes tbe possibility of our making any comments on the proceedings , yet we cannot avoid congratulating the people of Ireland on the onward progress of tbe national causa , of which this rue-ting is but c symptom . By peace , has the causa beea brought to its present proud pssiticn—by our firm resolve not to be force 3 by intimidation to violate the law , or « onnicnance any outrage , we have already struck terror inio the hearts of our enemies . The roar of cannon was never more terrible to a besieged fortress , tkan is tbe cry -of peace to Peel He threatened to coerce , that he mi ^ ht drive us to crime . He would have coerced ere tbis , h&d not Ireland at onca proclaimed her unalterable determination net to Tesort to force , but , firmly standing on the constitution , to conttad only with such weapons as it provided—at ths same time , declaring their determination to part with those weapons vu ) j ¦ with their lives .
In the carious demonstration at Charieville , ve have an evidence of tbe benefits to be derived from prudent councils and bold resolve . Had we Dot coerced Peel by peace , he would now be coercing us ¦ with the sword . Let the tame feeling be observed , and this , the fir *; retreat of the minister , will be but as the prelude to the final discomfiture of all our foes . In p-ace lies our strength . In it , too , lies England's weakness . The peop : e that cannot tw bullied into violence , are not to be bayoneted into submission . England knows this ; already have her depreciated funds borne testimony to Us truth . Peel , hardjy yet reco
vered from the shock be received , in the announcement of our detcrmLoition never to yield , now offers conciliation . The English mortgagees tremble for tb » ir Irish interest , and Wellington hints at a compromise , but our motto is , henceforth—No surrender . The game is now in our hands—liberty is within our grasp —and If we hare but the determination not to be terrorised into crime , or violence , or outrage , its possesnod-will soon reward our struggle . Sj peace we have already had one gTeat victory—we have bought those , who but yesterday threatened to offer termsby continued peace , wo will force them to yield our rights . —Fseeinan .
The Repeal movement progresses , and it is qnite evident the Government knows not what course to take . To proclaim down the Repealers—to prevent men peaceably diseasing the necessity of repealing an Act of Parliament , which is felt to be ruinous to Ireland , is a measure which the Ministers are afraid to adopt To deprive the country of this vestige of constitutional freedom—to rule it by bayonets and the gallows would he a hazardous exptriment , and a very eo 3 tly one . CitiI trar would be the inevitable result , and we all know that Canada , after a civil war , h : ia partly gained the object she sought . " The undertakers , " sharking
lawyers acd bigots , have succeeded in forcing upon Sir R . bert Peel his " chief difficulty . '' Lord De Grey would have it so : and in thus acting , at we shall hereafter prove , has displayed tbe greatest inconsistency . Sir R . Peel may now throw aside his moderation and impartiality , as the policy of Lord De Grey will compel him to resign , or oMige him to rely for support upon the violent " expiring faction" of Lord Stanley Already tbe glove has been thrown down , and behold hovr a Ftir-nz light of " the fourth estate , " the ~ Sevry Teltjraph , threatens to thrust the Premier from his stool : —
" In tbe event spoken of , we feel persuaded Tyrone will do its duty : and we know that the movement commenced in that loyal county will . be promptly followed up . We trust , however , no such circumstances will arice as those hinted at . The Government will not , we hope and believe , fce backward in taking the course to ¦ which wisdom and prudence direct . See the conversatioBS in both Houses of Parliament , on Mont ^ y ; the observations of Lord Brongham , 3 d particnlflr . We lock for a practical bint from Dublin Castle , such as Lord Brougham suggested . If tbe Government " f ive ec sign , " but allow agitators to have tiieir own ¦ way , ¦ why , then—ITlstL-r to the rescue ! We slia . 'i or . ee ino-e summon ite loyal-hearted to their pod ; and wt know the call Trill be Etither unheard nor unanswered . "
This is a fair warning to Sir Robert , and should he not iianifcdiatfciy do something vigorous—as , tor exau > ple . prostrating Conciliation Hall , or i- car cere 'ing the wbAifc Catholic hierarchy of Ireland—why . then , the influential t ; enttema . n of the Kewry Telfj'U , k vjii issue his summons . * Our resj-ected contemporary , the Londonderry Standard , is B >; il more warlike in Its toe .-, and we should suppose , from this dread blast , that when the weather becomes more genial , we msy hope for the pleasure of seeing the editor and his " couple of milliuns" of fighting men biwwackiug in tbe metropolis : —
" Yes—the men of D ^ rry , Antrim , Down , Tyrone , snd Fermanagh are rtill able , still willing , to prove their lojalty in tbe field , if need be , against tbe traitors wbo endeavour to destroy the integrity of the British empire . A few miserable creatures who dare not live any longer in Ulster , but who have still tbe audacity to call themselves " Northern Protestants , " may be found in O Council ' s ranks , invading their birth-place with the horrors of civil war , but there are a couple of millions still remaining who only desire the Queen ' s laittess fair * to maiotal * tbe Union against all rebels , whatever their creed or latitude . " These are , at all events , brave words—bat mark hew " softly sweet" the Times , yea , the " Thunderer , " chaunta upon the same theme .
" Very diferent was tbe spirit in which the speech of Lord Brougham was conceived , who appeared to be actuated chkfly by a rankling recolitction of the many L ^ r ^ li epithets applied by Mr . OCcaell to himself and hi * former coUeagues— the paltry Whig faction , ' tbe croelett enemies of Ireland , ' &c it fo prove tbe impropriety of such laaamse be jjave the Government ¦ vrii&t we muil ¦ scntu . ro to tuick tLe worst of all possible advice , and such txs lie himself would have been the first to stigmatize n foriSfr Urjs : ' It was the duty of Ibt GjVciiji . cn : to remjvt whos ^ magistrates froai the

meetmss , let tbem give up their office . It bad been said , employ conciliation and reason ;' but it wa 3 clear that , in an assembly of 20 , 000 men , reason vras not likely to be heard . ' The example cited is most unfortunate ; for this Mr . Butler , whom Lord PJunket dismissed , was for that very reason , and no other , returned to Parliament at tbe next election . His dismissal elevated him to the dignity of a martyr ; and made his advocicy ( what it never was before ) a source of moral strength to the cause which he advocated . Such will be tbe result of all similar measures ; and we trust that Lord De Grey will be careful how be follows in this respect tbe suggestions of those who have studied the art of tyranny in its most
unblushing school—the school of Liberalism . Lord Brougham may affdet to despise the conciliation ; but tbe people ef the United Kingdom are firmly convinced that it is a far better thing to conciliate by repealing bad laws , than to pour troops into Ireland for the purpose of carrying oDt those bad ia-ws , when they cannot be execnted except at the bayonet ' s point It is a lamentable feature in tbe Irian policy of tbe present Government ( not to say their English policy also ) , that , having Epent ten years in successfully persuading the people that a Whig Government was the worst of ali possible evHs , they now use tbe power ^ from which they have dislodged the Whigs as if the maintenance of the Whi ^ principl es and Wuig measures were the sole and sufficient olj cfc of their political existence !''
Then tt 9 must cot spill blood , and our " Two millions of Ulsttr fi / htin ? men" may turn their spears into ploughshares . This is really too bad . — World .

for the police ^ who were thus beleagured in the station-house . During the absence of the mob from the Oldbam-road Station House , a considerable number of the night policemen arrived , and on a second or third attack being made on the building , those men , to the number of about thirty , made two or three sorties , in each of which they succeeded in capturing several soldiers and others . One ringleader in the mob , a civili ? nj was subsequently pointed out to the police by Mr . Smith , surgeon , and they apprehended
this fellow . In these sallie 3 , they captured altogether ten soldiers , all of whom , we believe , are privates in the 15 th regiment . Their names are Win . Gill , Wm . Woolridsie , John Vennard , John Capley , Edward Holmes , Michael Higgins , Robert Scott , John Connpr , Charles Gill , and Patrick M'Donald . They also took firo men and three women , who were very riotous and prominent in the crowd . Their names are James Shepherd , Robert Gaskell , Joseph Pepper , James Smith , and John Heap ; Anil Middleton , Charlotte Lin # , and Mary Lomas .
Captain Willis , chief constable , and Mr . Beswicfr , chief superintendent of police , arrived at the station-house a little'before six o ' olock , together with superintendent Sawley , and a large body of the police . A picket of the 15 th regiment , under the command of an officer , we believe a captain , also arrived , and took up their Btand outside tho door of the station , in Oldham-road . At least two of the privates in this picket were heard by tho police to use very offensive and insubordinate iangun :. - «¦ , and this was very properly reported to the g . * al in command of tho district , when ho arrived .
James Kershaw , Esq ., the mayor , and Daniel Maude , Eiq ., stipendiary magistrate , were on the spot before six o ' clock ; the Town Clerk was also there . Col . Weniyss , assistant adjutant-general of the northern district , arrived at the station-house about a quarter past seven j and General Sir Thos . Arbutlmot , the general in command of tho district , arrived there about half-past seven . Shortly after the aviival of Captain Willis , Mr . Besvvickand the police , portions of the mob and some soldiers proceeded in various directions ; and information being brought to tho station that they were sgain attacking policemen in the streets , the Mayor , with Captain Willis , Superintendent Sawley , and a party of police , proceeded in quest of the rioters . On
their passing theTjb-strcct barracks , where the 15 th are stationed , the soldiers about tho gate and from the windows of the building , hooted at them , and hurled stones , jugs , and othor missiles from tho windows at tho police , notwithstanding that two officers of tho regiment were Ftandiug in the doorway during tho display of disorder and insubordination . On this display being made , Captain Willis immediately halted his men in front of the barracks , but no further demonstration was made . Tho palico force , under Capt . Wjllis and Superintendent Steph . enson , then bourcd the streets in search of rioters , and they overtook pome soldiers in Jersoy-street , and captured them , but at the request of Major Smith , tho commanding officer , they were set at liberty again on condition of returning to the barrack .
We believe , that on tho arrival of Colonel Wemyss at tha station-house , Captain Smith preferred a complaint to him that the polioe had apprehended 6 oldirrs after the disturbance was over ; but Colonel Wemyss expressed his opinion that the police had only done their dufy . Tho Mayor , attended by Mr . Beswick and a party of polico , proceeded to Atherton ' s beer-shop , Bengal-street , to search for soldiers , as that was the plnco in which the first disorder had occurred . Tha police searched the house , but tho soldiers had previously made their escape We understand that Mr . Atherton behaved with great insolence to the authorities .
While this was the state of things at the Oldham Road station , one party of the rioters proceeded to the Kirby-street police station-house . New Islington , where , having no information of their intentions , the police were not prepared for thorn ; and , the door being open , they rushed into the office , and attacked the police there . Inspector Lipsett was knocked down and scveivly beaten and kicked , and all the policemen in the office were beaten and otherwise ill-used . One of them , named Burgess , was so severely injured , that it was necessary to convey him to the > lanchester Royal Infirmary . We understand that Inspector Lipsett is now lying at the sta ' . ion-house very much injured , his face especially being much contused and disfigured by the blows and kicks he received . On information of this outrage being conveyed to the Oldham Road Station , about a quarter past six o ' clock , Superintendant
Cochrane , with twenty of the police force proceeded thither with all speed , and pursued the rioters by Poi lard-street into Great Ancoatsstreet and then to Ktfw Ctosb , and chased a party of them through Spear-street and other narrow streets to Dean-street , Great Ancoats-street , and down Portstreet , where five soldiers , finding themselves hotly pursued , ran into a coal-yard and actually jumped into the filth of a petty , whero the police captured them . A mob bood collected to rescue the prisoners , but the police by sallies drove them back , got the Rites of the ya . Td locked , and put" Bnaps" on the writs of their prisoners to secure them . A number of coustables outside guarded the gates , while others remained within in charge of the prisoners , from one of whom was taken a large , thick knotted stick or bludgeon , covered with blood . One of the poldier's side-belts was also covered with blood .
About tbis time Mr . Beswick , hearing that a soldier bad secreted himself in Mr . Lomax ' s egg shop , corner of Dean-street , Ancoats , proceeded thither in a coach arid apprehended him there . The coach was then driven to the coal yard , under an escort of military . Oa tho mob seeing the soldiers , whom they supposed were coming to rescue the prisoners , they renewed their assault on tho police , but wero driven back , and on finding their mistake they at length dispersed . The prisoners were all put into the coach , and conveyed , under aa escort of the 15 th regiment , to the police-office , Town Hall . On tiieir way , in Port street , a civilian named Bolan , who was a little behind the escort , threw a stone at the polico , and waa immediately apprehended and conveyed with the others to the police-office . The names of tbe fire soldiers apprehendod in tho « oalyard are , Edward Woodhouse , Thomas Bell , Wm . Harding . John . Thompson , Joseph Collett , and Daniel Vaughan .
About half-past six o ' clock , Inspector Green was despatched from the Oldham-Road station , in a coach , to obtain the attendanco of a body of tho 2 d Royal Dragoons , now in the cavalry barrack , Hulme . Whilo going along Oldhain-street , he observed a large mob of disorderly people , probably from a thousand to fifteen hundred in number , going towards Piccadilly . They wore headed by nine soldiers in a state of intoxication , and were anned with bludgeons , and ( what particularly ut'ractetl his attention ) with eome of tho btaves , both painted and unpairitcd , which were delivered to tb . 8 individuals sworn in as special constables during the riots of August last . About forty of tho mounted dragoons , under th ' e command of an officer , arrived at the Oldham Road station about seven o ' clock , and were subsequently reinforced by a much larger number . They kept the Btreet for somo time , considerable crowds being assembled in the neighbourhood , though every thing was peaceable at that time .
We have stated that General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot arrived at the Oldham Road station-house about half-past seven o ' clock . Immediately on his arrival he had a short conference with Major Smith , and with the Mayor and civil authorities . At thi 3 time the picket of tho loth were drawn up within the station-house , and the general came up to them , and addressed them in tho strongest terms of reprehension , something to tho following effect : — " Men , I am quite ashamed of you , and I am determined to make a most severe example of every one that is proved to have taken any part in this business . You men who were not concerned must havo known of this . 1 am quito ashamed of you- Make them ' Stand at attention , ' every man of them . You soldiers are sent here to assist in keeping the civil peace of the country , and you are breaking tbe peace . " Inspector Robinson , of the police , haviug complained that he had heard one of the
picket , whom he could identify , use threatening language , the general was informed of this , and ho directed that Robinson should point , out the iul . ii He did so , and Sir Thomas ordered tho soldier ' s arms and belt to be taken off , and tho man to be placed in military arrest . A policeman named Burns or Byrno preferred a similar charge against a second soldier of the picket , whom he also identified ; and , by the orders of the general , he too was disarmed and arrest :.. ] . The latter , it appeared , had previously been r < ported by the policeman , both to the captain and Major Smith , but ha was not put under arrest until the general ordered it . This having been done , Sir Thomas Arbutlmot directed the Major to take down the name * of the soldiers , and of the policemen preferring tho charged , \ viih the nature of the charges themselves ; and accordingly the following examination took place , tbe questions being pui by Major W .

THE CHESHIRE MAGISTRATES , SIR JAS . GRAHAM , AND THE CHAPLAIN OF KNUiSFORD GAOL . Knutsford , Monday afternoon . The general intermediate session for the county of Chester was held this morning at the Court House , Knutsford , before Trafford Trafford , E « q ., chairman , and about twenty magistrates . Aster the learned chairman had delivered his charge to the grand jury , tha magistrates retired to their private room , when tho chairman said he had received a letter from Sir James Graham , tha Saoretary of States for the Home Department , which he would read to tho magistrates . Mr . Potts , the clerk of tho paace , then read tho following letter : — " Whitehall , May 4 , 1843 .
" Sir , —I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21 st ult ., enclosing a report of the decision of the justices assembled at the last geaeral Quarter Session * for tho county of Chester , on the proved misconduct of the keeper of the goal at Knutsford . It is a matter of much conourn to me that the magistrates of the county havo determined to rota-in in the offa ' oe of keeper of the gaol one who has been proved to have so misconducted himself . The magistrates are of opinion upon the case to which I more especially called their attention ( I r .-fer to the case in which the keeper persisted in inflicting corporal punishment upon a prisoner after the interposition of the assistant surgeon , and his desisting to forbear ) that the reprimand of the visiting justices was sufficient punishment . It appears to mo that such misconduct , as soon as made known to the justices in Quarter Sessions , should havo been punished by immediate dismissal .
' The other charges proved against the keeper , of offences committed by him subsequent to thatgreater offonce which I have just mentioned , are considered by the Magistrates as not of much importance , aud not sufficient to deprive him of their confidence . Yet i i is clearly proved—and this proof was in the hands of the Magistrates—that these offences , many in number and of various kinds , were in violation of the prison regulations , iu violation also of provisions of Acts of Parliament , aud such as would bare subjected the keeper to indictments for misdemeanour .
" The responsibility of these proceedings of the General Quarter Sessions is upon those Magistrates who recoinuimcnded and adopted such a decision ; bat I feel it to bo a duty to declare my opinion , that it is a decision not unlikely to lead to evil consequences , detrimental to the maintenance of good or dor m prisons , and calculated ta lessen the conSdance vm \ eh Parliament has been aisposed to impart to Magistrates in the superintendence and regulation of gaole . " I havo the honour to be . &c , > ' J . R . G . Graham . 11 Trafford Trafford , E . q ., Chairman of Quarter Sedsion . s , Kuutsford , " The letter having beeu read , there was a general silence of a few moments amunt-si , the magistrates . One gentleman suggested that no notice should be taken of tho letter .
Tho Chaieman said that the first quostion which he would put to t ! io magistrates was , whether the letter deserved any answer at all ? Mr . CoRBEiTsaid it was very strange that Captain Williams should have found fault with the governor now , as , if ho recollected right , the inspector had , in 1811 , made a very favourable report respecting Mr . Burgess . He wished to know what were the complaints against the governor 1 Mr . Potts said that the principal offence was whipping a boy named Tvainer . Mr . Foils then read , by direction of the Chv . raaii , the reply of the Court to the report of In 6 p > oior Williams on the state of Knutsford gaol and house of correction , to which the preceding letter from the Home Stcretary might be considered as a rejoinder . Mr . Shalcross Jackson said rhat he had never heard tho governor charged with i ; jhuman ; ty before , but understood that ho \ v . is exceedingly kind .
Mr . Cobbett : I should make no reply to that letter . Mr . Jackson : It is our business , aud we shall act in this matter as we thiuk proper . The Chairman : I have laid the letter before you , bfcause it is addressed to me as chaivrmn of the Quarter Sessions . Is it the general opinion of the magistrates that no notice shall be taken of this letter ? It was then suggested that Mr . Burgess should make an affidavit respecting tha maltera complained of in the report of tho inspector . After a short conversation , in which Messrs . Tow . vsEND , Fjun « i-, and oti . ers took part , and in the course of which the magistrates generally expressed their confidence in Mr . Burgess , Tbe Chaihjian suggested that he (; he chairman ) had better acknowledge the receipt of the letter . No motion was , however , made on the subject , and the matter then terminated .

' j Pullan , five months old , whose parents reside in Back Eat-t-street , Bank . From the evidence of the child ' s mother , a very respecMblo looking female , it appeared that about two o ' ekek ou Sunday morning , » he gave iier child the bioa . - ! , a& which hour , to
all appeai ance , it was in good health . At three o ' clock , however , she found tnsu it was dead . The deceased was a verv healthy child , and on the discovery being made , Mr . iSearpirk , surgeon , was sent for , but his aid w . is oi no avail . When the child was found'dead by Mrs .

There were no marks of violence , nor any supposition tha ; death had ensued from other than natural causes . Verdict to lhat effect .
Allvged HiGHWAr Robbery . —On Saturday last , two decent-looking men , named William Cawthoru and George'Cawthorn , brother ;? , whoresido at Dudley Hill , near Bradford , were brought up at the Leeds Court Hcuso by warrant , ana charged with having committed a daring act of highway robbery , under tho following circumstances : —The prosecutor , Joseph Smith , ie , we believe a clothier , residing at Stanninjiloy , near this pla , ce , and according to his etatfm"nt , which was corroborated in some of its points by other witnesses , ho was ou his road home from Leeds on the orevious Tuesday evening , between eight and nine o ' clock , and whilst walking on the road , before reaching the toll-bar , he overtook the two prisoners , when one of them accosted him , and demanded of him two shillings , which he said was due to him for having led some
coals . Smith , according to tits own account , did not like this , and to avoid the annoyance be turned into the Cardigan Arms Ian , whither the two prisoners followed , and where Smith says they stopped until he had drank a glass of ale , when , he having left the house * o go home , they again followed him , and no sooner nari they got on the highway than one of them knockr 1 him down , and held him whilst the other tore open his waistcoat , and robbed him of his pocket book containing two £ 5 notes , six sovereigns , and two hall sovereigns . Mr . Nayior , solicitor , crossexamined tho prosecutor and hi 3 witnesses at some length , and ' certainly ho made the matter appear rutliei- dig ' . ireiit to what had been stated , at least to our judgment . but tho magistrates thought otherwise , and committed both the prisoners to York Castle for trial . Applioatioo was made for bail but it was refused .

Skrious Robbery from a DwellingHouse . —On Sunday afternoon last , between the hours of three and five o ' clock , tho dwelling-hot . se of Messrs . Fieldhouse , joiners , in Grace-street , Leeds , was entered by means of a skeleton key , during the absence of tha occupiers . The thieves had entered by the back door , and had gone direct to a drawer up stairs , in which the money was deposited ; they obtained £ 35 in gold and silver , and some bank receipts and cheques to the amouns altogether of
, £ 1 , 156 9 s : Of course tho latter portion of the property is oDJy so much waste paper to them . A young man who had been an apprentice wHa Messrs .. Fieldhouse , was taken if to custody on suspicion of being a party concerned ; he rras brought up en Monday , and remanded , but afterwards discharged . It is evident the robbery must have been committed by some one well acquainted with the premises , as in other drawers , which were not lockeu , were some Bilver spoons and a gold watch , which were left untouched .

Blackburn , to inquiro concerning the death of Joseph Nichols , who died in the Infirmary about half-past twelve on Sunday night , after having been in that institution only for about two hours and a half . From the evidence adduced , the following are the circumstances under which the unfortunate man came to his death : —He went , on Saturday nisjht , soon after eleven o ' clock , into tha houso of Mr . Metcalfe , the Royal George Inn , Kuuslet Lane , being at the time in a stato of intoxication . He had nothing to drink there , but was exceedingly quarrelsome , particularly with a young man named Moses Gilpin , who refused to havo anything to say to him ,
and to whom Nichols then said , if ho would no £ fight he was a coward . Soon after this tho parties left the public-house together , ai . d when they got into the roaJ , Nichols still continuing very quarrelsome , soebo bystanders called oat to Gilpin to give him arouad or two . Both then stripped , and went into an adjoining field , whero they fought and wrestled together , both being several times down on the ground . They contiuued fighting in . this way for some time , having perhaps eight or nine rounds , until , at last , Nichols was thrown heavily , and it then appeared as if he was knocked insensible—it being stated that he had fallen with h' « head on a stone . The Jury returned a verdict of raanskaghter against Moses Gilpip , who was committed to York Castle for trial .

MILITARY OUTRAGE IN MANCHESTER . ( From the Guardian of Wednesday . )
We regrrt to have to record a disturbaHco in this town , which , though fortunately so far unattended with any loss of life , may bo productive of most serious consequences , if the spirit of di ? order manifested by a number of soldiers , be not promptly quelled . These disturbances arose out of the trifling occurrence of the quarrel of two soldiers , privates in the 15 : h regiment of infantry , now lying in tho barracks , Tib-street , who were drinking in the beer-shop in Bengal-street , Oldham Road , and after disputing about the repeal of the union , got to blows . Information of this occurrence was conveyed to the Oldham Road police station , about eight o ' clock oa Monday evrniug last , and Borne of the police were despatched to the beer-shop , which is kept by a man
named Atherton . On tho police attempting to take the soldiers info ccstody , they , as well as others in the house , commenced an attack on tbe police , taking off their belts , with which , and the braBS plates thereon , they struck the police in a furious manner , very severely injuring some of them . The police retired to the station , and being reinforced , apprehended the soldiers ; while conveying them to the station , a considerable crowd having collected , threw a number of large stones at the police , and also attempted to rescue the prisoners . Ultimately , five soldiers , all of them belonging the 15 th regiment , were apprehended ; and also two men ^ whose violence had distinguished them in the mob .
The prisoners were brought up at the Borough Court yesterday , before Daniel Maude and C . J . S . Walker , Esqs . when their names were ftated to be WilliamDavis , Daniel Oliver , Alexander Burroughs , Hamilton Hall , and William Tytler , privates in tbe 15 ih regimeru , and John Bower and John Delaney , civilians . Tney were charged , the soldiers with having committed a violent assault on a number of police officer .-, and the other two men with having assisted in attempting to rescue the soldiers after they were in custody . Superintendent Stepbenson stated the circumstances of the case as we have jnvc .-i th * -ra , and his evidence was corroborate ! bv ; hat of Sub-Inspector O'Neile , and other police
Mr . Msude , aft ' : r conferring for some time with Ms brother magistrate , and with an officer of the 15 th , who was on the bench , said , he thought it was likely that the soldiers would receive some puui :-hment on their return to the regiment , but they must be taught that they were not to be permitted to commit 6 uch brutal assaults on tho peace officers ; and he would fine all the prisoners in a penalty of 2 ( b each , and in default to be committed for a month . We understand that the soldiers , in pursuance of this conviction , were committed to the New Bailey , and in the course of the day , we believe , some of them were released , on the payment of the penalty ; and we heard that a sergeant , who was present , said in the hearing of Mr . Walker the turnk ' ey , that there would bo a row in the town that ( last ) night .
About half-past four o clock yesterday afternoon , while Captain Willis , chief cod stable , and the superintendents of the borough police were assembled at the police office , Town Hal-, transacting some business , information was brought to them that the soldiers had avowed an intension of taking revenge on the police that evening in different parts of the town . Captain WiJlis accordingly gave orders that the numbers of the police at the various posts should be donbled , and that there should be a reserve force at aD the stauon-houses . Superintendent Stephenson proceeded to the station-house ef hh ( B ) division , in Oldham Road , and as it was approaching the hoi : r at which the night-force assemble , and as he expected no disturbance for several hours , he dismissed all the officers of the day-force except five , ar . d was in the station-hou ? e with this small force
about a quarter or half-past five o clock last evening , when a tumber of soldiers of the 15 ; h regiment suddenly came oat of Poland-street , Bengal-street , small streets branching off from the main street ( Oldham Road ) , with a large mob armed with sticks , and also well provided with stones and other missiles . The police-ofiicers of course , on finding the mob coming , closed the window shutters , and fastened the doors . The mob , to which the soldiers appeared to act as ringleaders , mado a furious attack on the police , first attempting to burst open tha front door ; but this being purposely constructed of great strength resisted their efforts . They next tried to net at the lower window , but the shatters being lined with iron plates , again baffled them . The rioters , however , soon demolished cearly ail the glass in tbe windows , and even the frames are almost wholly destroyed . The weapons of destruction were
BtickB , bludgeoas , stones , bricks , Jtc , and we saw one ponderous piece of stone , which musk have beea brought to the police , for it was impregnated with some metal , apparently iren , so as to render it a very dangerovw aissile . Finding they conld not force an entranee into the station-house the mob , after damaging tbe building as much as they could , went away , and commenced attacking the policemen whom they found singly parrolling the streets in thpir usual beats . One of these , named Burns , with difficulty effected his escape , by gutting into a house in Oldham-road , and securing the door- Some women in the house assisted him to escape at the back , and the nob , furious at his escape , broke the windows of the house . "When th © mob bad directed their attention elsewhere , a policeman in disguiso was despatched to convey information to the policeoffice of ibis outrage , aud to obtain raioforcemeata

THE WESTMEATH MEETING . Tbe high and manly tone taken by O'Connell on Thursday in reference to Peel's puling threats has been nobly responded to by the country . The counter-i ' ecliration "which he , on that occasion , uttered on behalf of lTel&nd -saa "worthy of the cause , aud the loud aad hearty response ¦ which it ha >* met from all p . wtsof the country proves the nation whose cause he pleads to be worthy of the advocate . Westmwith met on Sunday . It wao the flrat county that met since the manifesto of Peel and the countermanifesto of O'Connell . Tie eyes of all wero turned towards Muilingar . Ei .-land watched with fevtrish anxiety—Peel tremblnl for the result—while Ireland alone , confident in tha prudecce and determination of her sous , awaited tbe trial with a cooinuBB which the result amply justified . Mullingar has passed nobly through the ordeal , and has given a tona to
Ireland that it would be "well tbe cibintt of England had not evoked , or having evoked by n false step , should prudently rtfraiu from urging forward too precipitately . Never "was greater enthusiasm evinced by any people —never « h there mote of prudent determination and firm rtsolvt ) manifested by any body of men than by the tens o * thousands "wha congregated o : j this occasion to hurl defiance at the enemies of their cou . it » y . We give in another column a ; i ample report of the proceedings , ¦ which will be fouud to be the moat important that has oecurred 6 ince tbe commencement of the Repeal agitation , v . hether we jade © of thtm by tbe peculiar period at "which they arrived—by the manly tone of all who took a p ? . rt , or by the no leas glorious than unexpected announcement made by the Right Rev . Bishop of Ardagfc—teal every Catholic Bishop in the kingdom was friendly to tbe cause .
"What , then , have "we to dread from the denunciations of Peel \ The people are firm ; they have not only the countenance , but the a / 1 vice and instruction of their prelates and their clergy , who teach them obedience to the law and observance of the peace , with as much zeal as they do the principles of national liberty . The leader is resolved—firm , immovable— : jood men are every day joing oar ranks—tbe thorough confidence of tbe people is becoming more and more apparent ia the daily increase of the cationil funds , and from one end of the land to the other temperance and peace bold undisturbed sway .
We would especially direct the attention of hesitating Repealers to the declarations of tho venerated Bishop of Meatb , tb « t the establishment of a Catholic ascendancy "would be looked on by any Irish prelate as a curse , not a blessing , and that equality was all tbe CithoMc clergy sought for their church , ¦ while "we call the attention of these who think that the spirit of Repeal can be crushed to the firm and unequivocnl declaration of the Bishop of Ardagh , that ¦ with the deprivation of life alone would tyranny succeed in severing him from the cause of national liberty . Thus does the cause now stand . The week ' s rent ¦ wants but a fraction of seven hundred pounds ; and union , resolve , an '; determination are in every hearton every tongue . —Freemun .
