IKBLJSXD . THE REPEAL MOVEMENT . THE CLABE DEMONSTRATION .

The procession hsnng passed through Ennis , proceeded to the racecourse , whence the cheering of the mighty multitude could be beard distinctly , althsughmore tlmtwo miles distant 500 , 400 men matched before the liberator of bis country and the . shampion of her independence , on-whose Tery breath , beseemed to float in bis progress throBfb-rie country .

O'Consell rose , when tbe cheering and waving of handkerchiefs was continned for many minutes , at the -conclusion of which be said , —I am a proud man 1 own it . I amaprend man—I never qualified it , — 1 never will deny it—{ cheers ) . I may be sneered at for the declaration , but I ewn it—I am a very proud man . I am glad of this gradual growth of the great
csnse , until at baa accumulated at length into so powtrinl aad gigantic a shape , tbat in its career it becomes like the mighty avalanche of the Alpine Hills , small in its career as it left the nountsin top , increasing as it comes down , and bears with it every obstacle , until , overshooting all obstructions , it poors inesutibl ; forward , annihilating towns , villages , streams , and lakes , and alters the entire face of nature in one gigantic convulsion—( cheers . ) Wben I resnmed the Bepeal , after its suspension by the fact of an English House of Lords and an English King mating promises and declarations which , like others , were only made to be broken , I found a chill of suspicion existed throughout the country Bven against myself . That chill prevented the swell of the Bepeal cause . I laboured incessantly to convince those who doubted ma that I was in earnest . I printed more letters , issued more
declarations to tbe people , maae more speeches , than ever I did in the course of my life before for five times that period—dond cries of "Hear , hear , hear . *') I found the atmosphere warming by degrees ; a more genial glow arising in tbe public mind , a greater disposition to listen to my injunctfona , a greater certainty increasing that there was no other remedy for national grievances ; some still thought that the Whigs might come into power again , snd that it might be necessary to make the last great movement for the establishment of a native Parliament Many wise and good men thought 8 o , bnlat length they were all nndeceived , bringing upon us many of them , with Sir Coleman O'Loghlen at tbeir head , wbo joined our ranks—{ Tremendous cheering . ) What hope had they from the Whigs ?

Bat let them beware ! It ought not to b » so soon forgotten that human endurance has its limit * in Clare as wen ss elsewhere . Geutlemen , I agres fully with your filustrions gnest , that nothing but tha legal murders or assassinations perpetrated in Ireland through the instrumentality of the cruel process of extermination cin account for the awful deficiency , amounting to over 700 , 000 human beings , in tiie ordinary increase of our population from 1831 to 1841 ,
when tbe last census was taken ; for we have not been -visited , thank God ! "with any other plague within that time to destroy our people ; and it is clear that Emigration , alone cannot account for it . I must , therefore , agree with him , that thousands of our persecuted people are , owing to the accursed process , annually wasted to premature graves by hunger , cold and disease ; and that the atrodous guilt of vengeance ia justly chargeable to British hostile government and British hostile legislation , as well as to the acknowledged bard-heartedness snd cruelty ol Irish landlords . ( Hear , bear . ) Yes , Sir , it was that hostile Government and hostile Legislature , which , bound to protect the people of this country from the vengeance and the rapaciousness of a set of men whom they well know to be the most heartless tyranto -with , whom a country wss ever cursed ,
afforded to them notwitbstonding every legal facility toroband persecute and exteminate them —( htar , and dheart ) . Men of Clare , bear what jonr own countryman , Mr . W . 8 .

" As to the practicability of the Bepeal ol the legislative "Union sad of tbe re-establishment of a National Parliament in Ireland , I will only say , gentlemen , that it I did sot firmly believe , that under the guidance of

atrocious Fabrication . —The following appeared inthejtfatf of ThursiJjty : — "In the Mail of Monday we gave a circumstantial account of the murder of the Bev . James Lowrey Dicksen , rector of Lavy , in the county of Cavan , alleged to have taken place by the hand of a maniac , while in a Btate of furious excitement produced by intoxication . That excitement and the finding of the inquest we gavu on the reputed authority of a person who represented himself in his letter as the coroner of the county , and we inserted it without entertaining a doubt of its correctness ; far we could not
bave imagined depravitv or baseness to exist to such an extent in the mind jof any fiend as to induce him to invent so atrocious a story . The whole statement is a villainous fabrication : and fortunately , having preserved the oiigininal manuscript , which we have given to a near cannexion of Mr . Dlckson , by whom it will be fortvarded to the country by this night ' s post , we are not without hope that the miscreant will yet be detected . With the view of increasing the chances of such a discovery , we ) hereby offer a reward of twenty pounds to any person who will afford evidence
substantially establishing the guilt of the writer . "

MB . THOMAS STARKEY , AND THE DEFENCE FUND . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir—I hive seen ifl the Stars of May 27 th and June 10 th , an attempt by Mr . Starkey , of Stoke , to shew that be has been neglected by the Chartist public in the hour of need , while suffering for the Chartist cause ; and that he has a right to some compensation fvir tbe losses he has sustained , and apparently feels aggrieved that you do not boldly assist him in his appeal . Fearing that some' persons may believe , from Mr . Starkey ' s appeal that he has not had justice dona to him by the managing I committee of tbe Defence Fund at the late Special Commission at Stafford , whereat Mr . Statkey was tried , and as I was one of that' committee , and happen to know something of Mr . Starkey ' a affairs , I deem it to be my duty to explain the matter .
When Mr . O'Connor remitted to me the £ 50 for the defence of the victims , I immediately proceeded to fee nomination of a committee of management . This being accomplished we proceeded to examine the ground we occupied . In so doing we discovered that , according to our calculation ( the cases being so many ) we could not do more than fee conjisel , unless we received more funds from other sources . With this view we passed a resolution that ail persons on trial should support their own witnesses . This ru ] e jwas strictly adhered to , and in no instance broken . True , one person borrowed a sovereign of me with an understanding that it should be refunded the next day but one ; but it has not yet been refunded ; and if it be not forthcoming soon , I shall be under tbs
unpleasantnecesslty of publicly appealingforit . This I must do in common justice to those parties who were refused support for witnems . Therefore , whatever Mr . Starkcy ' s expenses may have beon for witnesses { and I believe they vfere great ; , the defence committee could do nothing for him . And I further add , that shoald compensation ; be made to Mr . Starkey , it will opsn the floodgates : for such a sweeping appeal for compensation as has never been bt ard of in the history of Chartuni . I would like to seo ALL injured persons compensated . But can it be done ? Can we now support the families of those in comfort who are in durance t Lot Mr .- Starkie , therefore , take comfort that he is at liberty !
With regard to his ; law expenses , I am only sorry that Mr . S . never applied for our assistance . Had he have done so , he would have received all tha assietanee that could possibly have been rendered from myself , the committee , and Mr . Roberts , whose exBrtionaon behalf of the victims were herculean . I will only add , that had tho committee undertaken to snpport witnesses , one thousand pounds- woo / d not have served their purpose . To obviate , therefore , the great expense that parties were subjected to by public accommodation , I threw open my own house to make a home for them . And the compensation I received was the
loss of a month s work , with danger of loosing my employment , debts contracted to the amount of several pounds , to serve them ; and when I asked for tbe noney to pay them off . I was abused fo * not paying roj 88 lf out of the- surplus funds , instead of refunding them to Mr . O'Connor . And 3 have not , « ven yet , received anything towards " compensation , " unless-it be tbe esteem of a teir I shall e 7 er delight to serve . I am , Mr . Editor , a friend to even-handed juatiee ;; and unless we all be so , we shall make poor regenerators of our poor , bleeding , ' and' prostrate oountry . WM .

Alven was with her ; that he saw aiie w . is ill in the morning and he mentioned it to her , and said that he knew what was the matter wHhjher . She told me she first went into the place where the cows were > and Mr . Alven came to her , and after a little while hetoid her she had better go into the hayloft ! That she believed it was about four o'clock when she went there , and that about six o ' clock , the child was born . That Alven assisted her in her confinement . That she believed the child would have been living at this time if it had not
been destroyed . That about a minute after the child was born , Alven told her to go down out of the loft . That she went down where the cowa were , and that Mr . Alven came-down in about five | minutes , and that she took her clothes , and pinned them np before her , In order to prevent any running . She said that she had never seen the child , but bad left Alyen in the loft with it ; that she knew nothing of what became of it afterwards ; that Alven had milked the ' cow for her ; that she stood there whilst he milked jit , and afterwards carried in the milk herself , and w « tnt to bed . She also
said , that to the best of her knowledge and belief the child was born alive ; that Alven had never told her what he had done with the child , } and that she bad never seen it She also said , that some time afterwards , when Alven ' s dog had pupa , j he made gruel for it ; and that she had said to him that he had behaved kinder to his dog than to her . [ This being the case for the prosecution , the prisoner Alven was asked if he had anything to address to the Court ? when he replied , " I am innocent of tbe charge , gentlemen . " Upon this the female prisoner instantly exclaimed , " He is not innocent , [ gentlemen . " It is impossible to describe the impression made in the court by this unexpected announcement , and it was not for some time that silerce could be obtained . When order was restored , the prisoner said that she wished to tell everything , and proceeded to Wake the following confession : — 1
" I was delivered of a child , and ] the prisoner Alven took it from me .. He delivered me himself . It was on the Sunday before Christmas day [ last He twisted a hayband and tied it round tbe child's neck , and hid it then amongst the reeds . He never allowed me to see the child , and he said I never should see it ; and he never would tell me whether it was a boy or a girl , because if no one saw it I should never blush if accused by any one . As soon as ] I was delivered he told me to go down . I beard the child cry before and after I went down . I was in the hayloft about ten minutes after the child wzs born ; and about ten minutes after I was confined I went down and fetched the milking pail , and brought it up to milk the cow . Alven carried the milk as far the kitchen door ; I took
it up and carried it in and placed it on the table . I then vent up staira and went to bed . 1 saw Alven place the hayband round something and heard it cty . It was moonlight at tbe time , and there are windows in the place . When he was twisting the hayband his back was towards me , and , after it was tied he threw it ameng the jeeds . I beard the child cry after I came down from the- loft 1 left him there , and he returned about five minutes afterwards . I never heard the child after Alven earner down . He never told me where the child was . I suspected it was somewhere in the garden . The day after I | was confined I went into tho garden , and saw the ground had besn
removed , at the top- of the garden , near the middle walk , but I never examined the ground . I was in the stable at the time I was taken in ! labour , and Alven told me to go up into the hayloft ; he said it was the best place . I never aeked him what had become of the ehild . Mr . Alven * was tbe father of the child-. He talked to me about my being ( with child ; he said he knew what was the matter with me ; he never mentioned that he should deliver me himself . I had provided the clothing myself , and ] gave it to my sister to keep till I wanted it I purchased it myself ; Mr . Alven never suggested tie getting any clothes for the childi I never left his service ' . That is all I have
to say . " j The whole of this was delivered with much simplicity of meaner :, and the prisoner , when questioned on -particular portions of it , did not , in any instance , vary in her statement kt was afterwards signed by he ? . , ] The magistrates then withdrew for a short time , and , on their return , committed j both prisoners for trial at the aext assizes , AlTen as principal , and Clarke as accessory after the facti Application was made to tha magistrates to take bail for Alven ' s appearance , and bail to a large amount was of&red ; but the magistrates refused to entertain it } The prisoners- were then ironed , and shortly after conveyed to Wjlton GaoL J

A week of very fine weather has had the usual effect of rendering the trade dull . At Friday's market only a limited
business- was- done in Wheat , and the few sales that ocourred were at 2 d to 3 d par bushel below the quotations of Tuesday . Flour ; too , was Is per sack and 6 d > per barrel cheaper , and , met a very languid demands Oats were held for full prices ; few , however , were wanted , and we make no > ehange in their value . Oatmeal barely supported previous rates . Several parcels of grinding Barley have found buyersfor the oountry during the week at 3 s 3 d to 3 s 8 i per 601 bs i more money is now- asked for what remains on the market . Beans and Peas are held
with more firmness . Makgsester Corn Mahheti , Saturday , Jqhb 17 . —Since this day se ' nnight there has been but little raittin this neighbourhood * and daring the past four days the weather has undergone a most favourable chaage , with every prospect-of a continuance . The supplies of Flour , Oats , and Oatmeal , from Ireland continue liberal ; but o £ all other descriptions the imports thence and coastwise are unimportant . Tha arrivals of Flour from the interior have , of late , been to a fair extent , but not more than adequate to the demand for consumption . At our market this morning . a veryinaotivflfeeliagprevailed , but we do not make any change in the quotations of Wheat or Flour , the stocks of which are in but limited compass in factors hands , as well as in those of the trade . The inquiry for Oats , and Beans wasonly , » n a moderate scale ; and Oatmeal , except of very superior quality , met slow sale at rather lower rates .
London Corn Exchasgb , Monday , June 19 . — The demand for all descriptions of English Wheat was inactive , and the rates suffered an abatement ou those obtained on . this day se ' nnight , of from Is - to 2 s per quar ter .

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF INFANTICID 2 AT CREWKERNE . (' . Abridged' from the Shcrborne and' Seovil Mercury )• Considerable excitement has existed in the town of Qewkerne tor some time past , in consequence of a rtiooouT that prevailed tnat a girl * numed Martha Clarke , wh& » llved us servant to a Mr Alven , a pereon of Independent property , and the ova of a former banker of the . town , ; bad been delivered by him of a child , of watch he was the father , and which he bad destroyed . So long ago cs the 19 th of May last the girhhad m » d& -disclosures wbich led to the apprehension-of'both prisoners , and several investigations had ' taken- place before the magistrates , who from time to < time remanded the prisoners . On Sunday last ,
hovrevorv the bod ^ - 'was found in the garden of the male prisoner , and an inquest was held on it the following day ,, when tba-jury found their verdict " that the body now foDod is ' , the body of a hoaian being , aa infant ; but how or by whom placed there is nob known . ' . ' The prisoners , however , were- again brought before the magistrates on Thursday last , when the casa ¦ was-fully gone into . ' H * gb SymoDds , cbnstabla of- Oxevrk&rne , examined . —J&om inforewtionj I bad received , I' made a search in Richard Alvsn ' s garden on Monday-last , between eleven and twelve , ' and , moving tho- ground , I first turned seme dang ;' and in the middle of the dung I . found tbe remains of what I believed te be a human body . There was «* hayband fftnnd round tbe body . Ob finding it I coiamualcatod > with the parish officers .
William PetUngef— On Sunday las % the 11 th insi , I aaaisted fiogh Symondi in making ; search in Mrr Alven ' s gardsn ; we found aomethlng , there about a foot > under tha-surfabe ; it first appeared like dnng . Is desired Symonds to be careful with tbe spade . I saw him take up-3 omething , but I don't fcnow what it was , but from what I have seen , to-day , I . think it was the head of a child . I fetched Mr . Bowdmge ^ and saw hint and Symonils take up what we so . found with two spades . I oaw a band round the body , as I beliave , composed partly of hay and straw . There was an appearance of' blood about the band-, and I stained * ray Sngers whoa I touched it .
EmanueltBowdage— I am a surgeon . About a quarter before one on Sunday I was called upon by . Pottinger , and in constquanee weut to Richard Alven ' s garden . My attention was directed to the body of > an infant lying on its back ; the head was distinctly visible . 3 ymondo « and myself placed it on . a board . Tba bones of tbe head fell to pieces . I thio- morning have again examined the body . £ found a band round the body which is composed of hay and straw . It was tibia body of a . full grown infants much decomposed . From the appearance of the blood on the t > 5 band , I believe it came ftom the body of- the , ebit& If the childthad beea stillborn , In my opinion tber * would have been n « blood . In my judgment , and forming that ; jndgmeat from the state of decorapositien , the child must have beoa born about five or six months since . Tho body was so rieeompossd , that I cannot say whether it was rsale or female .
Sarah Bulgin deposed , that in the harvest tisae of fast year she had observed that Martha Clarke looked large , as it witii cbiild ; that she bad joked her on the circumstances . She had afterwards remembered and observed to her that there was a great di&renc © in her appearance . ; ' Mary Fowler , wife of Joseph Fowler , yeoman—I know Martha Clarke . She was a servant of Mr . Alven . On Sunday week before Christmas-day last , Miss Coles called on toe . Miss Coles is a relation of Mr . Alven ' s , and livea in his ^ ouse . She said to me there were strange talcs about Martha Clarks , and asked me to come to Mr . Alven ' s house to see if I thought she was in the fomily-way . 1 went to Mr . Alven ' s bouse about four o'clock .- About an hour after I got there , I heard Martha come into > the passage , through the back door . She put something on the table , and I heard a noise as
if she was pouringimilk from a pail into a milk-pan . I afterwards saw a pail on the table , and tte milk . I then heard her go up stairs ; shortly after some one came to the door . Miss iColes called Martha to come down stairs several times . Mattba said if any person wanted her they mUBt come up to her . Miss Coles then went up stairs , and afterwards came down again , and asked me to go up and seo her . I then went up stairs and found Martha Clarice in bed there . She was sitting up . right . I asked tier how she was , and what was the matter ? She said "I am poorly , but there is not much the matter . " She said , " Mary ; you know it has been reported a good deal about me that I am in the familyway . ' I said •'• Yas , I have heard of it . " She said , " I assure you it is no such thing . " She then took hold of my hand , and said , " Now feel me . " I then put my hand all over hei'Btomach , and felt as if I thought she
was not in thefamilyrway . Charlotte Coles ] Mr . Alven ' a cousin , and the manager of hiu house , corroborated the last witoss s testimony , except with regard to some trivial points of conversation . She deposed that she had uoVrospeotodMartha Clarie of being ini the family way ; and although ahe had heard reports to that effect , she had not attached any credit to them , j . „ ElbAeth Turner , wife of John Tomer , policeman . — My husband brought Martha Glariw I ^^ J 10 ^ 86 ^ Sto then

REPEAL MEETINGS—MILITARY MOVEMENTS . j Tho Limerick Chronicle , a Tory paper , gives the following striking description of the Repeal demonstration in Clare , on Thursday last : — I * ' Frem an area of more than 100 miles the peasantry gathered to tiie rencUzroua , travelling day and nigat from every village and hamlet of Clare , nay more , not only the confines , but more central parts of the counties of Linerlck , Tipperary , Gal-way , and even King ' s County , having crossed the Shannon in different parts for the purpose : so that it is ; EOt strange under a combined and simultaneous movement , there should be assembled a multitude of certainly not less than 150 , 000 persons , many of -whom have not yet reached their homes , after being ¦ witnesses and actors in this unprecedented Repeal demonstration . Partisanship
will be eager enough to magnify the numbers present to one million , bnt the above calculation may be depended on ; and it is miraculous how such a vast meeting separated without accident or injury . There Were about 6 , 000 horsemen ' on the ground , and the cavalcade of cars might satisfy the large commissariat staff , having extended from Ennis to Newmarket , a distance of six miles . Tbt > re were upwards of lto Temperance bands in attendance , and the lion of tbe day iras Mr . O'Connell ; but his voice , however familiar with ' masses / could not be heard , by more than half the concourse who surrounded the platform , in an area of several acres , the others being left to imagine what ¦ was said by him and other speakers . Mr . O'Counell received £ 1 200 Repeal rent iat this gathering , with a promise of more .
; VTJBious . — We shall conclude with a perfectly novel and striking incident in the performances of tbe occasion , -which was the presence of two Frenchmen of . most respectable appearance , but like most foreigners , * moustacbed , ' and who held an earnest conversation rwith Mr . O'Connell on the platform . We have since ascertained their names to be , M . Lesbre , advocate of -the Court Royale , Paris , and M . Ddsaault , ois companion . They have never been seen in Limerick or Clare . before . ¦ \ - " There was not a soldier or policeman in view or hearing of the immense Repeal assemblage at Ballycoree , tbe troop of the , 10 th Hussars not being nearer than Ennis , and the 36 th and 81 st at Clara Castle . "
i Limerick , Saturday . —Captain Bonham ' a troop , : 10 th HuBsara , returned to this garrison yesterday morning from Ennis . Two companies ef the 36 th , under the command of Major d » Lacy , returned from Clare Castle this day , to head quarters . The military calculation of the numbers at tbe Ennis Bepeal meeting is—-on tbe Race Conro , 14 , 000 . About the roads and in tEnnis—5 , 000-i The armB of all the staff of Militia Regiments in Ireland are to be deposited in the Ordnance Depots of their respective districts . Three military pensioners have been etrnek off the establishment in consequence of attending a Repeal meeting . —Limerick Chronicle . \ The military force at Skibbereen has been Increased as there is to be a Repeal assemblage on the 22 nd there .

The Begisuiug by ihb Emd , —The Tt&erary Constitution of yesterday eentains tbe following , under jthe head of "More News jfor tbe Government ;"" On Tuesday . Captain Bradshaw ' s men , when out in © olden district collecting coaoty rates , were regsiarly | hnnted on making a seizure . There could not bsve been less than 1 , 000 persons e&Uected on the eurromrdhsg hills . Several of tbe persona who paid cautioned tbe collector Dot to come again , as the Repeal wosld certainly come before Christmas . " And again , the * Base paper tbno announces the progress of a " passive resistance movement : "— " The Magistrates in Tipperary having some time since granted warrants for recovery of poor-fates in that scion-, the collector pot several in force , the parties allowing the stock to be
( impounded Without resistance , aad then lodging secu-J Tity ' in money -with the pound-keeper for their forthj . coming on the day ef sale . The s * le » were to have ti taken place on Wedaesday , Thursday , asd Friday last . ({ Notices were in tiie meantime postedthrosgb the coun-¦ try , calling on the people to assembl * in- Tipperary on [ those days ; and panisolarly on Thursday ,, the holyday , | : tomake » passive resistance demonstration ; in eonse-Iquencs of -which the Magistrates deeised it advisable to make application to Lord Downe * for as additional ;; force , and accordingly two troops op Hussars and an ' additional company of Infantry arrived in Tipperary on . Tuesday , but whether it was the message said to . be
sent by O'C&nnell , or tStat the bidders-were actually in attendance , or the fur caps and baiiy feeea of the Huai ears prepared for the tocznament , so it waa those passive props of goad order coESidered it mon p ? ud % Ht to pay the rate and' all expenses on the several morning's of 'sale . There were also in 'attendance upwards of 1000 ; police , nndar the direotiou of Messrs . M'Beod and ; Knaresborough . Much credit is due to tbe Magistrates : and some meaibers of th&-Board of G&ardiai » , for tho 'rSmageniBntB- made and the determination to effect sales , as otherwise this ' preface' to resistance against ) the recovery o £ aH legal demands wo ^ d have become m established precedent . "" '
Somewat 3 JODBTFUI *—The DertT / 'Siandatrd says , We have heard , on authority on which we feel disposed to plac * reliance , that the GeT « rnment intend to apprehend O'Connell , and ; have him tried for high treason , and that their object infilling the country with troops is to preserve the peace when such an occurrence may take place . " Tbo-Morvinff Herald / tbe only Ministerial organ amongst" the Morning Dairy Press , appends the word 4 < Pudge" to this announcement " Who ' s tsb . Traitor ^"—The following strange observations are made by ths Tipp&r ** V : F * t » Press . the southern orgsa of Repeal : — " Nothing can arrest a » Repeal mov « m « nt but the treachery or tlnUdity of tbe leaders . We- -will not inspect tb * m- of one or tbe other , we de not believe them capable of eitbar . The
man whopauB « 5-now or tarns one etep , aslde , or com ' promises one J # t « f natlcDslity , is a coward o » js traitor . The question of ^ Repeal is-distlnct froau any nwasure of reform—it does-not consist of parts—it cannot be mads tip of patches ; . the Independence of the Irish Legislature must be unequivocal , unconditioaaL , and ) fully re-CDgnizsd , or the condition of | Ireland will be worse than subjection . This struggla-can only terminate in national glory or in a national gave , j We seono middie ground . If the Repealers are net honest , open-hearted , daring patriots , they * are sneaking pedlars , trafficking in dishonest "ware . It is-ssid , ' indeed , tbatsoma brace or two of lords having nerved up thein hearts to a certain poinl in national ooarage , | the great enraent of the public bloods should cool down to abefRUug temperature in order-to save the honour ef'circnl&iing through
them . Those men sse cautions , because taey want the virtue to speak outi they are temperato , because they have not the conroga xo bo honest j , and th * y are steady , because they , have net tbe ken to-see -which -way honour leads . We hope tbeir gloomy counsel shall turn no clond on this th& sunny morning of Ireland . Some talk there is o * federalism . W&do not understand ths phrase , nor wish to do so . II it » mean Irish Indepen . dence , tflher mediate or imntadiata , it is a deception on those-w-ho join the nationalists in its name ; and if it means less than such independence it is treachery , to those who woald consent to . struggle only for that " Now , to should be borne in mind , that Mr . Cunnell himself , at the dose of his celebrated speech in the corporation , ansqaivocally declared , that he wonld be satisfied with & federal Parliaments Boas the Free Prcsimean to attribate " deception" aad " twachery" to tha Hon .
and learned Gentleman ? ' * O 5 UNOBS . —Mr . O ConnsTl has promised to hold a Repeal meeting in Waterford , on the 12 th of Jrftfy , the Bxaiversary of the battle of Anghrim . Skauch fob Arms , — Tbe Belfast Chroniott contains the following announcement : — "It is said that it is not an uncommon practice to convey fire-aims clandestinely into some parts of ; , the country , concealed In ccfiins made for the purpose . We understand that orders have been issued to ; the magistracy and police to be vigilant la detecting this and other unlawful modes of conveying arms , into the interior . "
That the authorities do suspect that arms are surreptitiously obtained by the peasantry is quite manifest from the fellawing rather ludicrous result of police vigilance which is reported in both the Limerick papers : — " On Sunday last , two poor countrymen and a woman were proceeding ; along the Crescent to their neighbourhood of Patrickswell , with a coffin in a car , in -which to lay in its list resting place the body of a relative -who died the previous day , when , to their astonishment and dismay , two policemen stopped them ,
and demanded to see what the coffin contained . In vain the poor creatures protested against so gross an outrage—in vain they assured these worthy officers of the law that it only contained a few necessaries for the -wake . ' AU-would sot do- —opened the coffin Bhould be , and opened it was , . when they discovered to their horror , —not bullets , powder , and implements of war , — hut candles , tobacco , and snuff ! Having made this notable discovery , the policemen retired evidently disconcerted , and the poor ipeople were allowed to proceed on their way home . "
Effects of the Repeal Agitation . —The Limerick Chronicle remarksH' Since th « Repeal agitation has become so hot , a greater stagnation ol business in every branch of trade was never known in Limerick , and the shopkeepers complain universally of it , ascribing It truly to the political exdtement andappreheHrionirMcb , oceupies © very ] mind atpresent . Th » ntmoit difficulty is found in the collection of rents . " Captain Henry Cooper ' s company , 48 th Regiment , arrived in Cork garrison from Spike Island , on Monday . Part of the baggage of 3 the 2 nd ( Queen ' s ) Dragoons arrived in Cork on Saturday , per Jupiter steamer , from Dublin . ; The first division of the Queen ' s Bays arrived in this garrison on Wednesday from Fermoy .
All the troops In garrison attended their various places of worship on Sunday under arms . —Cork Constitution .
