O'Connell ) . Mr . O'Neil then entered at much length into adefenee of himself and the speech he tJeli-rered last Monday , which he complained had been too hmfly reported in some journals , and too violently attacked in the Everting Mail , the editor of which he called npon to pay whether he believed that he ( John Augustas O'Neill ) would or would noi be guilty of seising himself for a corrupt purposeto the association—( hear , hear ) . Tho principle passages of his speech , the omission of which he complained of were , ** That no earthly eonsideratioii would induce him to embark in the Repeal movement , if he for one moment thought that it would be injurious to any man upon account of his religion "—( hear , hear ) , —and that every Repealer would zap
port the Protestant succession as by law established "—( cheers ) . That day week he endeavoured to establish a kindly feeling between all , parties ; but he was abused for doing so , and ^ ven accused of sedition . If he had been guilty of sedition , it was not for the Mail , bather Majesty ' s Attorney-Getferal , to ^ ccuse him ef it . Through a Fpirit of conciliation he requested the Liberator to abandon the use of the word " Saxon , " because it was offensive to England . The request was granted , bnt what was his ( Mr . O'Neill ' g ) reward ? Why , he ¦ was called a " dog , ** that being the beBt name which a writer in the Matt could find for an Irish patriot . ( GroanB . ) Nay more , —he was called by that writer " a CDjrnpt dog " who sold himself to the Repeal
Association for a stipend —( groans ) . He could only say , that if he had sacrificed his fortune seeking for DzuTers&l liberty , as his friend the Liberator had dose , he shonld not be ashamed to beconm a pen-Eioner npon psblic gratitude—( cheers ) . Referring to the presence of military at the CloBtarf meeting , Mr . O'Neill remarked , that Ireland was noi to be intimidated by soldiers . Np . —and let the press note his words—for although 28 , 000 men were sufficient to punish the rebels of Inland , 100 , 000 wonld not be sufficient to put down tho cry for repeal—( great applaud . ) Their Protestant fellow-countrymen were only estranged from the movt ment because they got it into their heads 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 bent fis men of all religions and parties—( hear , hear ) . He wonld have no connexion with a party which wonld act oppressively towards Protestants . Mb . O'Cosseuu—We never did , and we never vriH —( cheers ) . Mb . 0 'Nnia . ihen largely quoted from the speeches of Fox , to show that the straggle of a nation for selfgovernment , although laborious , was seldom intff « jotnal , referred to the conduct of Wellington and Peel on the question of Caiholio emancipation , te show that he , like other men , might chango his political opinions withont sacrifice of principle , vindicated the prerent agitation from having injured the tradesmen of . Dublin by preventing the visit of the Queen ,
explained the intoning of a federal Parhamenr , and described the manner in which the Belgian revolution had been tff = cied . " Belgium , " he said , had Fncceeded accidentally by foreign intervention—but 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 forgetfnlaess 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 which Ireland ' ssonshad placed on his brow , there still remained for them an interposing power between him and ihe nation— : hey could look to the Qaecn . 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 Shikspeare , exclaiming to him—** Beware , * ake heed how you awake the slumbering sword of war ; I charge you , in 'he 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 wonld be productive of peaee , prosperity , & indissoluble connexion with England : but if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in His anger withdrew His protection from the empire , the same Goxeite which proclaimed the victory of England over her twin sister , would annouuee that one nation
was depopulated and tho other tottering on the brink of ruin . ( Hear . ) He eautione-1 them against committing any acts of violence which shonld lay the rain at their dews . Dearer interests than their own were involved in the present movement . Their children ' s interest were invelved in the success of the repeal . Let them no * peril the prosperity of their of&pring by rashness and their own souk by committing wroDg—( hear)—and , with the blessing of God , the sun of Irish prosperity , which was already above the horizon , would soou illuminate the temple they had raised to national independence and imperial concord . —( Loud cheers ) . :
Mr . O'Cokhell lhen rose and said , —The first sentence 2 wish to utter in the Caacilliatioa-hall ia this truth , —iba » there is only one way of obtaining a Repeal of the Union , and that is , by nsing none but peaceable and legal mei . ns—iheaT ) . My second sentence is , that the Repeal is certa n —( loud and longconunaed cheering , waviag of hats , handkerchiefs , &c ) . Yes , Repeal is certain , provided you use bo other than peaceable aud legal means—( cries of ** we won ' t ") . My excellent friend the chairman , through motives of the pnresi allegiance , has warned the Government against using force against the peop .-e . I warn the people against giving the Government the l'ast pretence for xxsins it . Let not
a single act of TJolpnce be committed in town or couniry by any portion of the people . If violence be attempted by anjbody eke , the party unjustly attacked , fhall be defended and protected by the strong arm of legal vengeance—( loud cries of hear , hear , and cheering ) . I promised the master butchers , 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 Irtfond . I shall not say one word in support of it . It is , " Tb » t W . S . O ' Brien , Esq .. M . P . for the county of Limeriek , be admitted a member of the Association —( enthusiastic cheering ) .
Mr . O'Cqxffxix then read the letter in which Mr . O'Brien assigned his reasons for joining the associv tionj and having concluded it , said , that Mi . O'Brien had been an anti-Repealer , but events had shown him that there was nothing but Repeil for Ireland . He was honest as an anti-Repealer—O ! he was boness and brave now that he was a Repealer—< cbeers . ) Referring to the distinction which had been , made between a federal and an independent Legislature , Mr . O'Connell declared that it was an independent Legislature he was looking for—( bear , hear . ) He did not mean a legislature independent of England or the Brit'sh Crown , bnt dependent on , and nnited to , England by the golden link of the Crown . To the continnance of the connection
between the two countries he wa 3 firmly attached , provided it were continued on fair term 3 ; one of which , he insisted , should be tho revival of that Parliament of which Ireland had been deprived by the foulest means . This language might be held 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 , be had since declined an overture of support on the part of the Whigs , if he consented to limit hi 3 demand to a federal Parliament ; and that , in reply to the offer of support from England , he merely said that he wonld give every guarantee that separation was not his object . He also referred to the admission of Dr . Kennedy , Catholic Bishop ol Kittaloe , and the offer to
admit Mr . S . Crawford ( both federalists ) as a memof the Association , to show that previous to the pro-Sfcntions he was a 3 ready as now to unite with the men who did not go a 3 far a 3 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—( bear , hear ) . He owed it to himself and the Association to put themselves in tho right before the country , and to show that , although they had every disposition : o conciliate , they fead no disposition to compromise--- ( cheers ) . From the occurrences of the last fortnight , be hoped that the Government and British statesmen generally had derived a nsefnl lesson . He hoped they 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 tfoverninent chose to continue the present contest , there was sufficient determination amongst the people to continue i ; alBO , rather than Tesort to violence . The Hon . Genthman then moved , that the thanks 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 member of both 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 state of ihe question . Their thanks and gratitude were the more partielarly due to Mr O * Bnen on account of the period at which he chose to come amongst them—a period when they were under prosecution by the Government , who had the sword uplifted at one side and the lawyer's tongue or pen on the other .

but whartras the . eonduot of the Whigs towards them in thHnnBUnctt I The organ of the Whigs , the Morning oWronicfe , published . Mr . Trevelyan ' s two letters imme diately after the issuing of the procla mation . T . be man himself admitted that he came over here , with the grossest prejudices ; and thel people on hJ 3 arrival laughed at him in consequence , and to jd him the most ridicnlouB stories , which he nevevthelesa believed—such as the people were to tak . a Dublin Castle with dunje-fork 8 —( laughter )—a ^ id that * 'Gr P O" on the milestones meant God " preserve O'Gonnell—( 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 . Creagh , of Cork . He was going
about Mallow , making enquiries regarding everything , when two friends got up a conversation in his presence , by which he was led to believe Mr . Croker had been wounded in ' a duel with lAt . Creagh , caused by a difference regarding him ( Mr . O'Connell ) : Off he posted at onoe 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 f 8 was a Popish rebellion ; when it was well known , that in its origin the leading men were ^ PresbyteriauB and Protestants —( hear , hear ) . There were two battles fou > ht in the north , Ballynahmch 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 officer 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 Catholic ascendancy—( hear , hear . ) Mr . Ntjoent , R . A . ( which means not Royal Academician , bat Repeal Arbitrator ) , on handing in some money from Xingstown , said that the people were determined to follow O'ConneWs advice , but at
THE SAME TIMS WStE BESOLVBD TO HAVE WO 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 thefrtquent disturbances created by disorderly persons passing out of their places . Heeaid he would conclude as he had begun . The repeal had hade A PROGRESS WHICH ^ CTUALLT STAHTLED HIMSELF—( loud cheering ) . He called npon the people then not to cheek that progress by violence , although many thinji ^ would no doubt . occur to provoke them to it —( cheers ) . The Hon . Gentleman alluded to a person singing "a most bigoted and improper ballad " in the streets a ifivr nights ago . who would not desist
from doing so till handed over to the police ; and insinuated , as tho ballad was better printed than MMial , that it might bo 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 peoplelook out for Paddy M'KemmiR— ( cheers and laughter ) . That was the sort of rat he wished them to catch—( reEewed cheers and laughter ) . It was perfectly clear that if they icent on for sis , ay , for three months , peaceably and quietly . Repeal teas certain —( loud cheers ) . He feared no outbreak now . Let them do their duty , and he would do his . After some further observations , the Hon . Gentleman announced that the Repeal rent for the week was
£ 2284—( cheering which lasted for some 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 ; ihe 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 , each petition with not more than 1000 names , Bigned separately , prepared to transmit to England , and to have simultaneous meeiingB of all tho 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

Pubmc MiETiNG ^—A public open air meeting of the Coal Miners of tee Ashton district was announced to take place at Hurst Broofe , at eleven e'clock in the forenoon ; but owing to the wetness of tbe morning it was thought advisable to adjourn to the large room occupied by the Chartists of A 8 hton-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 Winers pi the Ashton district , in public a meeting assembled , do hereby declare that our wages , at the ^ present time , arei not sufficient to procure to us and our families a sufficiency of the commonest necessaries of life . " The motion was seconded by Mr . Chadwick , and supported in an able manner by
Mr . Berril , ( torn 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 . Pxlce seconiled ^ " That we , tfce Miners of the Ashton district , consider it to be our duty to immediately become '¦ mernbera of the Miners' Association of Great Britain and freladd . " Mr . D . Thompson , from Newcastle , supported the resolution in a truly eloquent and powerful speech . The motion was then put from the chair and carried unanimously . The following resolution , was tben put to tbe meeting and cartied withoui a diBsentifcnt : — "That Mr . G . Ramsey , of Padiham , is a fit and proper person to fill tbe office of a lecturer in the place of Mr . John Berry , of Wigan , who has resigned that situat ' on . " The Chairman then introduced Mr . Dixon , from Manchester , their old and true friend , wfeo addressed them for a
short time , and sat down amid the plaudits of the meeting . The fallowing resolution was then put and carried , — " That tbe bast thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Wm . Dixon far bis untiring exertions to better the condition of the coal miners , and also for WsviBlt to us : upon this occasion . " "That the best thanks of the coal m ners of Lancashire are due and are hereby given to the Proprietor ; . and Editor of the po&T man's newspaper , the Northern Star , for the noble manner ia which they have defended oar cause , and also for tbe assistance they have rendered to tbe cause of tbe Association by giving publicity to our proceedings . " Carried by repeated rounds of applause . Mr . D'xon acknowledged the compliment on the part of the Proprietor and Editor of that paper , and returned thanks in their name . The thanks of the meeting was then given to the Chairman for bis conduct in tbe chair , and the meeting then separated .

Frankfort . —More " hostile Tariffs ' "—It has now been officially confirmed thai the ZaJlverein Congress of Berlin has adopted the measure of fixing an entrance duty on raw iron from England , to the amouut of fifteen silver groaben ( about 28 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 settlement of the duty on this important object of commerce between Ecigland and Germany , deserves in itself full attention ; but 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 ZvUvereiiiy all of them calculated to render more difficult the , importation and the sale of English produce and manufacture in Germany , and thus to assist German industry in competition with the English . It is evident now that the majority of the Zjllverein 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 atop here . \
Appr ehension 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 wa 3 a man named John Dobson , a weaver , who was shot dead in bis own house on the 4 th of that month by his own son , Joseph Dobson . The latter and bis wife had gone about a week before the lauientable occurrence to live with the father ; and daring the week Boine quarrel took place between the son and his father , and the former , on the abovementioned day ! went about a mtla from Mount Tabor , and took a jgun out of the house of a man whom he knew , but who was not at home , and having purchased some powder and shot ,
returned home , and deliberately shot his father in the presence of his wife and 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 , be 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 gone . A coroner ' s jury sat on the body of the murdered man , and after a full iuvatigation of the circumstances , tflftjury unanimously returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Joseph Dobson . " A
Government reward of £ 100 was offered for the apprehension of tho parricide , but he contrived to elude the officers of justice until Friday last , when he was apprehended by a working man ' named Speight , at Huddersfield , in the neighbourhood of which town he has been working for a few weeks aa 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 given into the hands of Mr . Jonathan Leach , chief contable , he acknowledged that he was the man , and instead of feeling icompunction for the crime with whioh he is charged , he gave utteraace to expressions off pleasure that he had taken his father ' s life . On J Saturday he was committed on the coroner ' s warrant to York for trial at the nest assizes for that county .

to the ground with fearful violence , and attacked his wife in the most outrageous manner , threatening to serve any individual that interfered in tha same way . Mr .

Leeds Woollen Markets- —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 ia orders for the home trade . Nor , from the advices from abroad , is there any longer a doubt that for goods of British manufacture , and domestic consumption , a large demand has sprung op , of which there is every prospect of a continuance . Bradford Market , Thursday , Oct . 26—W » ol—There has been rather more doing in most fkinds of combing as well as clothing Wools . The market is abundantly supplied , and prices continue very firm . Staplers complain , however , of prices rising faster
in the oountry than iu the market here . —Farrt *—There is nothing calling for comment in this trade . The demand continues steady , and prices wifcboab alteration—Piece— Tbe demand for goodB is not very extensive , and the Merchants strongly resist any advance , and the Manufacturers of Fancy Goods find their position exceedingly annoying , not being able to know what kind of goods to make , and the loss on their manufacture by selling at present prices is very discouraging . In Plain Goods , such as Orleans , Paramattas , Merinos , the demand continues tolerably fair ; aod as there is no change of sty lo in those Goods , there is less chance loss than in Fancy Gooda . We would advise tbe Manufacturers to act with caution in their production , tiil either Yarns recede or Goods

The trade has rated dull , yet fully as good , prices as last week are obtained . Barley is not plentiful , and commands a ready sale at the rates of this day sa ' nnight . pats and Shelling remain dull / without any material alteration in value ; but Beans continue in increased request .

The twelva staff cfSceis who were lately enga § ed in the business of emolliDg the Chelsea out-pensioners in Englaud , arrived here this morning before that object was completed in the sister country , for the purpose of effecting it with all possible despatch in this .
