LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OPENING OP THE CONCILIATION
HAILMONDAY . To-dsy ihe meeting of the Repeal Association was held in the Conciliation HalL . This % sildine occupies a considerable extort of ' gronnd , being € 0 feet in front along the quay , by 100 feet in depth . Tie first story of the front is composed of six plain pilasters , Enrmounteii by a belting course , and eontoinB three entrances . Over the centre or larger . gateway is a representation of the ancient -Irish erown , and harp , and orer the two side doors are Irish wolf dogs , in stone . The npper story consists also of six pilasters , with ornamented capitals , and havinc facsimiles of Brian Boroizche ' s harp and
crown in the centre of the foliage .: The spaces between the pilasters are pierced for windows , having alternately raking and circular pediments , supported by lesser pilasters , and enriched consols The pilasters of the second story support an entablature and cornice , with raking pediment ; lhe delta being occupied by a wreath of shamrocks , enciie ^ the inscription— rt The Repeal Year , 1843 . " The whole is Eurmonnted by s , bnlastrade , with two reverse consols and cornucopia hanging from the Tolnte . Apederal is placed on the apex of the pediment , havingin front the crest of O'Connell , suirounded by a wreath of oak leaves in relief .
The interior of the bnDding will , when finished , hare s very beautiful and striking appearance . It is entirely . surrounded by » large oral gallery , di-Tided into two parts—one towards the front being free for ladies , having the entrance in one of the front doors ; and : the other , to which admission is gained through the Corn Exchange , being appro * priated to ladies who have paid £ 1 to the funds of the association , or pay Is . each for admission . The chairman ' s seat is on an elevated platform , surrounded by railing , at the extremity of the hall opposite the principal entrance . In front of the chair are two enclosed spaces , one for the secretary , and the other for the reporters of the pnblic press ; and on either side are raised seats for members , having a partition between the subscribers of JS 1 and
the collectors of twenty associates' shillings . The former class , will be admitted through the Com Exchange , and ~ the latter at the entrance from "White ' s-lane . . Mr . O'ConhelFs seat is to the right of the reporters ' -table , on a small Elighily raised platform , whichjas well as the platform containing the chairman ' s seat , is carpeted . The space in front , comprising about three-fourths of the entire hall , "is reserved for associates , aod is derated by a step of nine inches in height at the distance of-every twelra feet towards the entrance . The hall is lighted by the five windows in front , and by eight semicircular windows st ihe sides and rear . The ceiling is Eughtly curved , and is divided into compartments , which , when completed , will be richly oruaeaented
"With stocco work . The panelling in froDt : of ihe gallery-will Ekewise be beautifully ornamented with JHUBtin ^ s . Mr .

O'Connell ) . Mr . O'Neil then entered , at much length into a defenoe of himBelf and the speech he delivered last Monday , which he complained had been too briefly reported in some journals , and too ¦ violently attacked in the Evening Mail , the editor of whiuh he called upon to say -whether he beliered that he { John Augustus O'Neill ) would or would not be guilty of selling himself for a corrupt purpose to the association—( hear , hear ) . The principle passages of his speech , the omission of which he complained of were , That no earthly consideration would induce him to embark in the Repeal movement , if he for one moment thought that it would be injurious to any man npon account of hiB religion" — ( hear , hear ) , —and that M every Repealer would
sopport the Protestant succession as by lair established "—( cheers ) . That day week he endeavoured to establish a kindly feeling between all parties ; but he was abused for doing st / and even accused of sedition . If he had been guilty of sedition , it was not for ihe Mail , but her M&jesty ' s Attorney-General , to accuse him ef it . Through . a Bpirit of conciliation he requested the liberator to abandon the use of the word " Saxon , " beeanse it was offensive to England . The request was granted , but what was his ( Mr . O'Neill '*) reward ! Why , he was called a " dog , 37 that being the best name which a writer in the Mail could find for-an Irish patriot . ( Groans . ) Nay more , —he was called by that writer " a corrupt dog , " who sold himself to the Repeal Association for a stipend —{ groans ) . He could only sav , that if he had sacrificed his fortune seeking for
unrrersal liberty , as his friend the Liberator had done , he should not be ashamed to become & pensioner upon pHblie gratitude—( cheers ) . Referring to the presence of mUiiary at the Clontarf meeting , Mr . O'Neill remarked , that Ireland was not to be intimidated by soldiers . No , —and let the preps note his words^—for although 28 , 000 men were sufficient to pnnish the rebels of Ireland , 100 , 000 would not be Fufficient to put down the cry for repeal—( great applaud . ) Their Protestant fellow-countrymen were only estranged from the movement because they got it into their beads that it was a subject connected with religion . If it were he would cut off his right hand before he would consent to be a member of the association ; bnt he could answer for it , that repeal would benefit men of all religions and parties—( bear , hear ) . He would have no connexion with a party which would act oppressively towards Protestants .
Mb . O'Coxssll . —We never did , and we never will—( cheers ) . : Mb , O'Neill then largely quoted from the speeches of Fox , to show that the straggle of a nation for selfgovernment , although laborious , was seldom ineffectual , referred to the conduct of Wellington and Peel on the question of Catholic emancipation , to show that he , like other men , might chango his political opinions withont sacrifice of principle , vindicated the present agitation from having injured the tradesmen of Dublin by preventing the visit of the Queen , explainedthe meaning of a federal Parliament , and described the manner in which the Belgian revolution had been effected . ** Belgium , " he said , * ' had succeeded accidentally by foreign intervention—bui
Ireland would depend upon Irishmen and on God "—( cheers ) . If it should be the pleasure of a rash minister , forgetful of the law of God and man—and such a forgctfuluess he by no means attributed to the Duke of Wellington , who always during his campaigns was most careful of human life—but if , for a moment , he should think of steeping in the blood of Irishmen the laurels ^ hich Ireland ' s sons had placed on his brow , there still remained for them an interposing power between him and the nation—they could look to the Q , ieen . Should the Duke resolve to act as he had described , of which from his soul he acquitted him , one might imagine the Queen , in the words of Shakspeare , exclaiming to him—** Beware , take heed how you awake the slumbering sword of war ; I charge you , in the name of God , take heed I " His opinion was , that if repeal was held back ^ too long it would create national bankruptcy , while if at once
conceded , it would be productive of peaee , prosperity , & indissoluble connexion with England : but if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in His anger withdrewHisprotectionfrom the empire , the same Gazette which proclaimed the victory of England over her twin sister , wosld announce that one nation was depopulated and the other tottering on the brink of ruin . ( Hear . ) He cautioned them against committing any acts of violence which should lay the ruin at their dors . Dsarer interests than their own were involved in the present movement . Their children's interest were involved in the success of the repeal . Let them not peril the prosperity of their offspring by rashness and their own souls by committing wrong—( hear)—and , with the blessing of God , the sun of Irish prosperity , which was already above the horizon , would soon illuminate the temple they had raised to national independence and imperial concord . —( Loud cheers ) .
Mr . O'CoxjiELL then rose and said , —The first Bentence I wish to utter in the CoEcilliation-hall is this truth , —that there is only one way of obtaining a Repeal of the Union , and that is , by using none bnt peaceable and legal means—( hear ) . My second sentence is , that the Repeal iB certa n—( loud and longcoo tinned cheering , waving of hats , handkerchiefs , & . c ) . Yes , Repeal is certain , provided you use no other than peaceable and legal means— ( cries of we won ' t ") . My excellent friend the chairman , through motives of the purest allegiance . has warned thtt Government against using force against the people . I warn the people against giving the Government the least pretence for using it . Let not
a single act of violence be committed in town or country by any portion of the people . If violence be attempted by anybody else , the party unjustly attacked , shall be defended and protected by the strong arm of legal vengeance—( loud cries of hear , hear , and cheering ) . I promised the master on tellers , as they gave me the largest sum , that I would hand in their money first . I therefore beg leave to band from them £ 160—( hear , hear ) . I am now about to make a motion of the utmost importance to the liberty of Ireland . I shall not say one word in support t > f it . It is , " That W . S . O'Brien , Esq . MJ » . for the county of Limerick , be admitted a member of the Association —( enthusiastic cheering ) .
Mr . CCoujoaL then read the letter in which Mr . O'Brien assigned his reasons for joining the association ; and having concluded it , said , that Mi . O'Brien had been an anti-Repealer , but events had shown him that there was nothing but Repeal for Ireland . He was honest as an anti-Repealer—O 3 he was honest and brave now that he was a Repealer—( cheers . ) Referring to the distinction which had been made between a federal and an independent Xegislature , Mr . O'Connell declared that it was an independent Legislature he was looking for—( hear , hear . ) He did not mean a Legislature independent of England or the British Crown , but dependent on , and united to , England by the golden link of the Crown . To the continuance of the connection
between the two countries he was firmly attached , provided it were continued on fair terms ; one of which , he insisted , should be the revival of that Parliament of which Ireland had been deprived by the foulest means . _ This language might beheld to be inconsistent with what he said on the support of a federal Parliament last Monday . To prove that it was not , the Hon . Gentleman said , he had since declined an overture of support on the part of the Whigs , if he consented to limit his demand to a federal Parliament ; and that , in reply to the offcr of support from England , be merely said that he would give every guarantee that separation was not his object . He also referred to the admission of Dr . Kennedy , Catholic Bishop of Killaloe , and the offer to
admit Mr . S . Crawford ( both federalists ) as a memof the Association , to show that previous to the prosecntiona he was as ready as now to unite with the men who did not go as far as himself . He would not reject the assistance of any man who would go any part whatever of the way with him . He would be glad of the assistance of every man who was for Repealing the Act of Union ; as after that he would obtain the best Parliament he could for Ireland —( hear , hear ) . He owed it to himself and the Association to put themselves in the right before the country , and to show that , although they had every disposition to conciliate , they had no disposition to compromise— ( cheers' ) . From the occurrences of the last fortnight , be -hoped that the Government and British statesmen generally had denied a useful lesson . He hoped jthey were , now convinced that they never would have a rebellion in Ireland again—that there never would again be an
attack on the part of the people —( cheers ) . If the Government chose to continue the present contest , there wzs sufficient determination amongst the people to continue it also , rather than resort to violence . The Hon . Gentleman then moved , that the toanks and . gratitude of the Irish people be offered to Mr . W . S . O'Brien—that his letter be printed by the Association , and a copy of it transmitted to every meaber of bofli Houses of Parliament , and that it be placarded through the cities and towns of England , in order that the people of England might begin to know the real staio of the question . Their thanks and gratitude were the more particl&rly dne to Mr . O'Brien on account jot the period at which he chose to come amongst tha * n—a period when they were nnde r prosecution by tihe Government , who had the Bword uplifted at one aide and the lawyer ' s tongue or pen on the other .

bat what was the ooirdnob of the Whigs towards them in this instance I The organ of the Whigs , the Morning Chronicle , ' published Mr . Trevelyan ' s two letters immediately after the issuing of the proclamation . The ms , a himself admitted that he came over here with ( he grossest prejudices ; and the peo * pie on his arrival laughed at him in consequence , and told hira the most ridiculous Btories , which he neverthelr ^ s belieyed ^ -snch as the people were to take Dublin Castle with dung-forka —( laughter)—and that * Q P O " on the milestones meant God preserre O'Connell—( Great laughter ) . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) believed that he was the man who circulated the ridiculous story of the duel-between Mr . Croker and Mr . Creagb , of Cork . He was going about Mallow , making enquiries regarding
everything , when two friends got up a conversation in his presenee , by which he was led to believe Mr . Croker had been wounded in a duel with Mr . Creagh , caused by adifference regarding him ( Mr . O'Connell ) . Off be posted at once to Cork and put it in the newspapers , and the gentlemen whose names were mentioned had the trouble of publishing contradictions —(" hear , " and laughter ) . He complained also , that the writer of these letters had the audacity to assert that the rebellion of ' 98 was a Popish rebellion ; when it was well known , that in its origin the leading men were , Presbyterians and Protestants —( hear , hear ) . There were two battles fought ia the nor th , BallynaWnch and Antrim , before the
Society of United Irishmen , was forced on other parts of the country . It was a shame for an Englishman , and an ofBoet of the Treasury , to falsify history in that manner . He concluded by giving notice of " two resolutions , the first relating to the preparation of petitions from every parish in the kingdom , and the other proposing that a conciliatory address to their Protestant and Presbyterian fellow-countrymen be forthwith prepared and issued . For his own part , he solemnly assured them , that he would not take repeal if it gave Catholio ascendancy—( hear , hear . ) Mr . Nugent , R . A . ( which means not Royal Academician , but Repeal Arbitrator ) , on handing in some money from iingstown , said that the people were determined to follow CConnelFs advice , but at
THE SAME TIMS WERE BESOLVED TO HAVE NO COMPROMISE . He for one never would —( loud and continued cheering ) . Mr . O'Connell rose and make some remarks upon the great confusion which existed in the assembly , and the frequent disturbanoess created by disorderly persons passing out of their places . He said he would conclude as he had begun . The repeal had hade
A PROGRESS WHICH ACTUALLY STARTLED HIMSELF—( loud cheering ) . He called upon the people then not to cheek that progress by violence , although many thing ? would no doubt occur to provoke them to ic —( cheers ) . Thn Hon . Gentleman alluded to a person singing " a most bigoted and improper ballad " in the streets a few nights ago , who would Mot desist from doing so till handed over to the police ; and insinuated , as the ballad was better printed than usual , that it might be some person sent by their enemies to create disturbance among the people . He hoped Mr . Anderson , the printer , knew the name of the person who sent the ballad to him —( cheers ) . Let the people lookout for Paddy M'Kemmis —( cheers and laughter ) . That was the sort of rat he wished them to catch—( renewed cheers and laughter ) . It was perfectly clear that if they went on for six , ay , for three months , peaceably and quietly , Repeal was
certain —( loud cheers ) . He feared no outbreak now . Let them do their duty , and he would do his . After some farther observations , the Hon . Gentleman announced that the Repeal rent for the week was £ 2284—( cheering which lasted for Borne minutes . ) He then moved that the association should adjourn till one o ' clock to-morrow , for the purpose of bringing forward the two motions of which he had given notice ; ! he first being for the formation of weekly reports connected with Repeal , and to shape an address to her Majesty to remove her present blundering Administration ; the other , to have petitions from all the parishes of Ireland , eaoh petition with not more than 1000 names , signed separately , prepared to transmit to England , and to have simultaneous meetings of all the parishes for that purpose . He had no doubt 5 , 000 , 000 persons would sign them . ( Cheers . ) The meeting adjourned at six o ' clock till to-morrow

Public Meeting . —A public open alt meeting of the Coal Miners of the Ashton district was announced to take place at Hurst Brook , at eleven ©' clock in the forenoon ; bat owing to the wetness Qf tjie morning It < w&s thought advisable to adjourn to the Wga room occupied by the Chartists of Ashton-under-Lyne , who had kindly consented to let them have It for that purpose . Mr . George Harrison was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . Berry moved the following resolution : —" That we , the Coal Miners of the Ashton district , in pnblic meeting assembled , do hereby declare that our wages , at the present time , ate not sufficient to procure to us and our families a sufficiency of the commonest necessaries of life . " The motion waa seconded by Mr . Chadwick , and supported in an able manner by
Mr . Betril , from Maryport , in Cumberland . The meeting was then addressed in the most effective manner by a working miner , whose name we understood to be George Ramsey , from Padiham . Mr . Lewis moved , and Mr . Price seconded , " That we , the Miners of the Aeoton district , consider it to be our duty to immediately become members of the Miners Association of Great Britain and Ireland . " Mr . D .

Leeds Woollen Mabkets- —The amount of business at both Cloth Halls , during the week , has exceeded that of the week previous , and for goods of low price and heavy quality the demand is very greatly increasing , particularly in orders for ther home trade . Mor , from the advices from , abroad ,. is there any longer a doubt that for goods of . British manufacture , and domestic consumption , a largo demand has sprung up , of which there is every prospect of a continuance . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Oct . 23 .. —The supply of cattle at market to-day has been much the same as tbat of last week , without any alteration in prices . Beef , 4 hd to 5 id ; mutton , 4 £ 5 $ 4 per lb . —Cattle imported into Liverpool , from the 16 th to the 23 rd October .

York Corn Market , Oct . 21 . —Farmers being employed with field labour , we have fant a small supply of Grain to-day . Wheat is ready Bale , at an advance of 2 s to 3 * per qr ; Oats ^ d per stoae ; and Beans , 6 d per load andvanc . ^ Manchest er Corn Market , Saturday , Oct * 21 . —There has been a steady sale for every article for consumption during the week , and the aspect of the trade in all our leading markets has been that of progressive improvement . Supplies both fronr Ireland and by way of Wakefield have been tolerably extensive . At Liverpool yesterday , all articles bore some advance upon the prices of Tuesday ; whilst Wakefield ' m proved 2 s to 33 per qr . for Wheat upon last week ' s rates . ' Our Corn Exchange
is fully attended to day . As regards Wheat , the demand runs principally upon new Irish , which realizes 3 d to 4 d per bushel advance upon , the rates of our last ; the same improvement is quotable upon English : old , Id to 2 d per . bushel higher . Good superfine flours , both English and Irish ; are Is to Is 6 d per sack dearer , with a steady sale at the advance . Common supers and fines are only in moderate demaad , at an improvement of 6 d to Is per sack . Oats are held firmly at fully the rates of our last . Meal excites some attention , and there is more inclination to purchase at a small advance upon previous quotations . Beans are very soared and fully Is per qr . higher . Malt steady at late prices .
State of Trade . —The recent fluctuations in the price of cotton at Liverpool , have produced some effect npon this market here . The demand , both for gooda and yarn , waa limited , yesterday , and the prices showed some little unsteadiness , though the greater part of the spinners and manufacturers still decline to sell , except at the extreme rates of thelast fortnight .- ^ -Manchester Guardian , of Wedi Liverpool Corn Exchange , Tuesday , Ocr . 24 * —The week ' s arrivals of Wheat , Oats , Flour and Oatmeal , to this port from Ireland , are of large amount ; and a few email cargoes of free foreign Wheat have been brought coastwise . The duties on Wheat and Flour are now at the maximum—20 a per qr . and I 2 s Ofd per brl . respefltivelyi We have continued to experience a good demand for
Irish new Wheat from the millers and dealers , and several further purchases have been made oa speculation ; good runs of red have brought 6 a lOd to 7 s the best samples 7 s 2 d to 7 s 4 d per 791 b , being 2 d to 3 d per bushel over the rates of Tuesday last . Rather higher prices have been required also for foreign Wheat ; but this description has not sold so freeJy as the new ; 8 s to 8 * 3 d has been paid for Lower Baltic red , and 8 s 6 d to $ 3 8 d for middling Dantzig ; fine qualities of the latter are held at 9 j per 70 lb . Sack flour has met a free sale at an advance of Is per 280 lb . Soma Canadian sweet has bean disposed of at 31 s per brl ; 33 s to 349 per brl . are the rates demanded for United States , free , at which , however , the vend is very limited .
Newcastle-on-1 yne , Corn Market , October 21 . —The weather this week has been tor the most part highly favourable for seeding operations , in which ; considerable progress has been made . This morning : however , we had a few hours' rain , but towards midday it cleared up , and has now a dry , settled appearance . At our market this morning , we had * large supply of Wheat from the ^ rowers ! but , the seed as wall as speculative demand still continuing , a clearance was very early effected at an advance of 2 s to 4 s per quarter . In foreign some considerable transactions occurred during the week ; tor , in addition to our millers being free buyers , we have to note the purchase of about 4000 quarters for shipment coast ways , which operation has had the effect of imparting much firmness to the trade , and to induce our holders to demand an improvement of fully 2 a per quarter to-day , which , however , in onlr partial instance ? , was complied with . The arrivals
of flour being triflmg , a ready sale has been experienced for Norfolk households , as well as whites at full rates ; and , as our millers at the conclusion of the market came to the determination of advancing tbe price 2 s per sack , it is probable the next arrivals from the south may command a corresponding improvement ; but much will depend upon tbe aspect of other markets , whether the rise be sustained . Rye must _ be called Is . per quarter higher , witha good inquiry at the advance . Malting barley in . demand , more especially the cboioest Norfolk qualities , which command freely our top quotations . Our maltsters having a sufficient supply of foreign , such sorts only met a limited inquiry . Malt without change . Beans firm , with , however , hot mHoTi business doing . Grinding peas in good request , 'arid looking higher ; but boilers remain stationary . Having only a short supply of oata from the country t sales were readily effected at full former rates .

Lord Cabdigan and the Press . —We understand that Lord Cardigan has instructed his law agents to move for a conditional order for a criminal information against the Tunes , for the publication of certain extracts from letters , under the heading of " Lord Cardigan and hjs OtBoera , " purporting to bare been received from a Dublin correspondent . His Lordship has also commenced proceedings against the Freeman ' s Journal ^ for ihe publication of an anonymons letter rtfleeting on his character as an officer and a gentleman . The Freeman has expressed its regret for having published ihe letter , which , it says , waa done in the hurry of business , and without any malicious intent .

Frankfort . —More " hostiie Tariffs •"—It has now been officially confirmed thac the Zillverein Congress of Berlin has adopted the measure of fixing an entrance duty on raw iron from England , to the a , mouutof fifteen eilver groshen ( about 18 d . ) per cwt . The circumstance that this measure was agreed to by a great majority of the members of the Congress , in opposition to the Prussian Government , has likewise obtained a full confirmation . The settlament of the duty on this important object of commerce between England and Germany , deserves in itself full
attention ; bat this measure derives a still greater importance from this circumstance , that it must be considered as the forerunner of a number of alterations in the tariff of the Zollverein , all of them calculated to render more difficult the importation and the sale of English produce and j manufacture in Germany , and thus to assist German industry in competition with the English . It is { evident now that the majority of the Zallverein members have emancipated themselves from the domineering influence of Prussia . It is evident that the imprecations of the school of List , and the system of ] protecting duties , are prevailing in the Council of the German Zollverein . The next measure is to be : directed against the English manufactures of cotton yarn and of cotton weaving in its different stages of perfection . But the wisdom of the protectors of German industry will not ; stop here . !
Apprehension of a [ Parricide . —Our readers may remember that in the month of July last a horrible murder was committed at the village of Mount Tabor , near Halifax , Yorkshire . The victim was a man named ] John Dobsop , a weaver , who was shot dead in his own house on the 4 th of that month by his own son , Joseph Dobson . The latter and his wife had ; gone about a week before the lamentable occurrence to live with the father ; and during the week some quarrel took place between the son and his father , and the former , on tbe abovementioned day went about a mild from Mount Tabor , and took j a < jun out of the house of a man whom he knew , |) ut who was not at home , and having purchased some powder and shot ,
returned home , and deliberately shot his father in the presence of his wifejand two or three children . On first presenting the gun it missed fire , but being determined to wreak his vengeance on his unoffending parent , he put another cap on the weapon , and before the poor man had time to get out of the house , he was shot through the heart , and he dropped dead on the spot . The perpetrator of this horrid deed of blood immediately made his escape ; and though great search was made for him , no traces could be discovered as to where he had gene . A coroner ' s jury sat on the body of the murdered man , and after a full invstigation of the circumstances , th « jury unanimously Returned a verdict of 11 Wilful Murder against ! Joseph Dobson . " A Government reward of £ 100 was offered for the ap
prehension of the parricide , but he contrived to elude the officers of justice until Friday iast , whenhe waa apprehended by a working man' named Speight , atHuddersneld . in the neighbourhood of which town he has been working for a few weeks as a weaver . He had cut his whiskers off , so as to prevent identification , and when , apprehended denied that his name was Joseph Dobson ; but on being giyeu into the hands of Mr . Jonathan Leach , ohief contable , he acknowledged that he was the man , and instead of feeling compunction for the crime with which he is oharged , he gave utterance to expressions of pleasure that he had taken his father ' s life . On Saturday he was committed on the coroner ' s warrant to York for trial at the next assizas for that county .
