THE OA . ME LAWS . ExtK - 4 oRI > ix- * ky Proceedings . —At the usual weekly meeting of the ( . ' roydou Bench of 5 Ligistrat * g , . it the Town Hall , on Saturday , lir . Richards , solicitor , of Croydon . attended before Messrs . Rci-. l , Adams , Lucas , and A . K . Barclay , the presiding magistrates , to apply for a warrant of commitment against a labourer , named Hubert Campbell , for an oneiicc against the Game Laws .

Richards tlieu applied for a warrant tu ciamit him to gad in default of paying the I'ljialty and costs . The application was made to Mr . Adams and other justices , who were not jiarties to the orijnunl . roiivicUon , uinl tht- \ , on that frround . refused to gTant ihf warrant . Another application was subseijuentlv made to Messrs . Reid and Lucas , who had eon-\ ictvil in the tirst instance , but the person who was then produced by Mr . Riehsirds to prove the demand of tbe amount from the defendant failed to satisfy the bench that he luul done so , and . they again refused to commit the party , iiud the application was now renewed a third time .
Mr . Richards , having made his application to the bench , expressed an opinion to the- effect that there had been unnecessary obstacles thrown in the way of the prosecutor by the bench . Mr . A hams denied , on the part of himself or his brother magistrate , that they had any intention to throw obstacles in the way of the proceeding . The object sought for was to deprive a poor man of his liberty many months after the conviction , and it was the duty of the magistrates to take care that proper legal steps were taken . Mr , RiehlLrdfi Oil th *? former occasion had expressed an opinion that it was not necessary for tlie same magistrates who had convicted to sign the commitment ; and he ( Mr . Adams >) entirely differed from him on that point , and would certainly not have signed the commitment , unless the Court of Queen ' s Bench told him he was bouud , to do sn _
The Chairman expre * sed his opinion that the whole proceeding was of a most extraordinary character , and that the present application ought not to have been made . It turned out in the course of the proceedings , that the police were in the habit of being engaged as informers in cases where they actually kaew nothing of the circumstances , i

The application was refused , and Mr . Adams , at the conclusion of the proceedings , said he thought that tfie bench , after what had passed that day , ought to make some rule with regard to making the police appear as informers in cases they had nothing to do with , and of the facts of which they were entirely ignorant . It was calculated to . create inconvenience in many ways , and was also likely to bring them into very undeserved odium with the public .

The prisoner , a coal-dealer in Cheltenham , was in October verjr much affected in mind , labouring under the supposition that he was pursued by " a thousand evil spirits . " These fits of abberation were
of frequent recurrence , and productive of much , violence to his family , towards whom at other times he displayed the utmost affection and kindness . On the 10 th of October he awoke his wife in the middle of the night to ? ' wipe away the blood from a thousand spears whichjhad penetrated his side , " and called up the children and his wife to look at the wretches who persecuted him , and whom he described to be standing at the foot of the bed—there being , in fact , no blood nor person visible except to his own disordered imagination . ; In one of these fits of insanity , he had stabbed hi-, wife with a penknife , and afterwards cut his own throat iu three places .

IRELAND . —RKPKAL ASSOCIATION . I'l ' uu . N , Nov . 1 'b' Tii . —The usual weekly meeting oi this associatii ) n took place to-day in the Conciliationhall , which , as i ^ . usual on Mr . O'ConntU ' s re-appearance , was densely crowded in every part , not excepting the ladies ; ' galleries . Shortly before one o ' clock the Hon . and Learned Gentleman made hi . s bow amidst the most enthusiastic applau&e , when , upon the motion of Loird FFRF . xrn , Mr . M . O'Connell , M . P ., was called to ' the chair . After the minutes of the last day ' s proceedings had been read , Mr . O'Connell invested hiniM-lf with a new crown-shaped cap of green velvet , richly decorated with golden wreaths of shamrocks . When the cheering which he thereby produced had subsided , he
said , that before entering into the . immediate business of the day , ho wished to offer his most hearty congratulations to the Repealers of Dublin on " the triump hant result of the municipal elections on the preceding day . The Irish people had been heretofore kept in subjection ; by their disunion among themselves , but a better (( ay was dawning upon them .- The Repealers had behaved in the noblest manner on the day before , arid the effect must be most salutary on the I'iuiKP of Ireland . It would "how that professing Liberals who [ joined the Tory parry in their efforts to strike out the ! Repeal voters from the roll could have no chance of succeeding in their object . He proclaimed such Conduct as treason against the people ; and ho would Unit have interfered in the election ih

moved an adjournment into The Irish ifiiartev . They went looking ; for a riot , and the person who went amongst Irishmen for siieli a purpose was not likcjv to be di > appoiiited , or . if he were , he could easily j ; et up a riot himself . They destroyed two Catholic churches , andiou the 4 th of . 1 uly , the anniversary of American independence , that brutal and barbarous mob L ot the I authorities to disarm the Catholics under the pretence that they should be protected , and then attacked them , until they were driven back by a superior ! military or militia force . Such was the origin of ; this horrible instance of bigotry and fanaticism , ( jllear . hear . ) It was from the system of niisi-ri-ant murder , that his rev . friend had returned , and bo ti'ustcd that his mti-odiietion of him to that association would not \ w injuvuHw to him in his effort to collect subscriptions for the erection of these churches , ( Cheers , and '" Hear , hear .

The Rev , Mr .

( Loud cries of "Oh ! oh I" I '; lie had nothing to depend upon f <» - his protection but his own fearlessness , and he did not doubt buttthat he and his fellow-countrymen in America would again raise up the cross to be encircled by a wreath of shamrocks . ( Loud cheers . ) He trusted that these words would be heard across the Atlantic . The design of these parties was to exterminate or frighten them . ( Cheers . ) He trusted no Irishiiim would leave America . It was intended to iri' / liten rliT '_ j ;> aiid laity out of that eoimtry : but tiny sverc notit'i he frightei'i'd .

Repeal i \ J . oxnov . —TtrcnsDAV , Nov . 2 F , 1 S 4-J . — Mr . O'ConneH ' s speech at the Limerick banquet has given great satisfaction to the Repealers of this nuHropolis . Now that he professes to have eschewed Wliiggism ami Federalisni , it is expected that he will for the future unswervingly adhere , to the path of simple Repeal ! His experiment , of trying tp give to Federalism " J > locality and a name" having failed , is a cause of much gratulation to the ardent Anti-I ' nionists , who are now more sanguine than ever of the ultimate success of the cause they have so much at heart . : It is expected that a remodelling of the Wardenmote will shortly take place , and the sooner this is done the better .
Ihe casti gat ion given in the Star of last week to the tergiversation of the Nation—its pandering to Whig notions lone week , and denouncing them the next—though ( considered to be rather ) severe , is admitted to be but too well merited . The triumph of Repeal over Federalism is another instance of the right views t ^ Jjen by the great bulk of tlie operatives . The time is coming , nay , now is at hand , when stronij miwh will prevail over '' » ' ()/»<\* , however great ; There is , arter all , much justice in tlie motto , " Measures , not men .

Dm iiv-i . ANK : jWAnn . —On Sunday evening last , the large room at ; the Craven Head , Drury-lane , was crowded to excess ; Mr . Poole , R . W ., presided on the occasion . Mj \ J . S . O'Gornan , in an elaborate speech , dwelt at great length on the late opinions of the French press on Repeal , which had been copiously extracted by ihe London press . He said that the Journal <¦ . » bubau had said that Repeal would be -the cause of separating the aristocracy from the democracy , lie then most abiy argued that , instead of causing a separation , it would unite together more firmly than before . Mr . O'Oornan was loudly cheered throughout his speech . Twenty were enrolled r
