NEW YORK HERALD. New Work, Wed day, September 9, 1846. Irish Politics—O'Connell and O'Biten. The opinion that we expressed some days ago, asto the turn affairs would take in Ireland, has been fully v doy the event. O'Connell has the of the he wil no en- wa tmausk—has declared tha b have cow ition w O'Bren- nan odiow feavored to make that gen using him of ente mary tendene » John as and flually hus joined the whigs, whose iniq three ago, no terms in O'Corneli’s well-stozked vooabulary were strong | enongh to condemn. This exposure of O’Connell’s real views and senti ats, does not take as atall by surprise. We have thought, for years, that one of th» objects of his existence was to leave his son John an heir- loom to the Irish people. We have foreseen, ever O’Brien became popular, that O'Connell would sooner or later seek to throw that gentleman into the shade. Such has ever been his policy towards those who were at all Vkely to interfere with his own popularity, asin of Lawless, of O’Gorman Mahon, of au Crawford, of Richard Lulor Shiel, and ¢ gentlemen were too much the popular g the nining doctrines formally sented his his suecessor to tue Trish months since on the ca Shar coused of doing and were invariably in such an odions y Were either driven into obscurity or ranks of the enemy. This has been the O'Brien’s instance.

We have already givena detailed account of | the disruption in Conciliation Hall, and of the tu- multu us extraordinary scenes that led to the secession of Smith O’Brien and ‘ Young Ire. land.” An oceasion for a breach had been long sought for,and a great many annoyances were purpose of inducing O’Brien f he association.

He reit tter to the association, that it was necessary the moral force reso- lution in by ail the mem- between him- nal rated, lutely qui 3 * draw! ne’ aesociation, \\ formally preseated his son John to the cir future leader. We have ious doubts whether the Irish people will feet sach gratification at this gift as O’Connell seems to anticipate. Jolin O'Connell is not fitted by his talents, his steadiness, or his firmness, | to be a leader. The atfections and the confidence of the people are centered in William Smith O’Brien after Mr. O'Connell, and it is perfectly | idle for Mr. O'Connell, even with his vast in- | fluence, to turn the popular current. But the great principle upon which O’Con. neli insists, is the moral for principle in all its in- tegrity. No human oppression can, according to his position, justify the shedding of one drop of buman blood, and while O’Brien holds any other doctrine, he canuot hold any communication with | that gentlemen. Let us see whether O’Conneli ! is consistent in this position. Inthe geeat monster meetings of 1843, which were in themselves demoastrations of physical | force, or nothing, O'Connell talked frequent. ly of the pleasure it would afford him to right the wrongs of his country in ** battle line "—threaten- | ed that if the enemies of his country persisted in assailing its coustitution, they should advance | over his lifeless corse—(certainly this smacks somewhat of physical force)—praised the volun- teers of 1732—not by any means a moral force or- | ganization—and absolutely organized a club call- | ed the ’82 club, in imitation of the men who | threatened England with revolt in °82, and inscri- bed upon their banners the motto, “Ireland as she | ought to be, or the world in a blaz Steele | exceeded O'Connell in his wild enthusiasm, for meeting the enemies of his country “in bat- tle line.”” Smith O’Brien was more temperate | than either; and still declares that he has no idea | of resorting to physical force ; but he says that on extraordinary occasions, as, for instance, in the ease of the American Revolution, a resort to arms is necessary. O’Connell now declares that | this doctrine of O’Brien is exceedingly dan- | gerous, and that to entertain it is virtual treason —‘‘this is his opinion as a lawyer.” ‘This asser- tion is m disingenuous. O’Connell at het people of Ireland a state trials, d it to be “his opinion asa lawyer,” neither he nor any of his associates had done wrong in using expressions com- | pared with which O’Brien’s strongest lan- | guage is milk and honey—and now he declares | that this language of O’Brien is dangerous and | treasonous! O’Connell, as a lawyer, has no superior in the profession—but here are two opinions of his directly at variance. But his for- mer opinion, that his expressions and those of his | friends at the monster meetings were perfectly le- gal, was sustained by the opinion of the law lords of England. His latter opinion, is there- fore, not correct. It is easy to judge whether he was candid in the expression of that opinion. | This want of candor in O'Connell is sadly to | be deplored, as itis a blot upon the charaeter of | one of the greatest men at present in existence. It | but is another proof how much self-interest belit- | tles men even of great minds. But he has fallen to a still lower depth. While the conservatives were in power, O'Connell declaredthat he had no confidence in either whig or tory. Lord John Russel power, and O’Conne!l immediately declared | his determination to give him his support. Who | was this Lord John Russell, and by what had he merited the support of the friends of Ireland? | Lord John Russell was a inan who had voted for | the first reading of the Irish Coercion bill, a mea sure which he wes obliged to acknowledge while voting for it, was ‘cruel, barbarous and bloedy.’ | He was a man who testified his abhorrence of the spirit which originated this sanguinary and in- human act, by inviting to take places in his cabi net, three men who were among the most active | ame into supporters of this brutal measure. He was a man who had testified his desire to conciliate Ireland by clinging to the | ancient tyranny that originated curfew acts and coercion bills, at the same time that he was profuse of words of hypocritical condolence and sympathy. He dared not adhere to the most stringent features of the Armes bill, but it was bo- cause he dared not that he did not. He was wil- ling to wound, but afraid to strike. Had there been no resistence, he would have struck, and struck hard. This is the men whom O’Con- | nell now supports. _ Movements or 6 VEes.—We x00} the Canada papors that General Vega is in Mon- treal. How came he there?

The Matter taid aside. We published in yesterday’s Herald the Flon. Louis McLane’s spirited reply to the address of the Chamber of Commerce of seis city, tender- ing him the thanks of that board for the ability which distinguished his services in bringing the duties of his late mission to a satisfactory and \so- norable termination. Ev and nossuming manner in which Mr. McLane refers to his own valuable and efficient services in setiling the Oregon question, when that dis- pute bad assumed @ serious and belligerent as- vices were undoubiedly of the high- est importance ; for when he entered the arena | as negotiator, all hopes of settling that question in adiplomatic way between the respective diplo- matists were abandoned, and the two countries Were about to employ the last resource cf kings to vindicate what they considered their just and indispuable claims. lt was then that Mr. 4Mc Lane entered upon his ticklish mission, and in a quiet, temperate, and unobtrusive manner, that | carried sincerity and good feeling with the cause he embarked in, he succeeded in re-opening ne- gotiations, and conducting them to a close, by which his country’s hoaor was untarnished and its rights maintained. If Mr. MeLane’s amiable disposition will not suiler him to wear the laurels he has acquired in assisting to bring this question to a close, our citizens must not on that account think the less of his vaituable and important ser- vices. {n forming the convention with Lord Aberdeen, Mr. McLane says thathe had always regarded the question as less dependant on the force of title than upon the principles of an equitable par- tition. It would have heen unreasonable to expect, he continues, after such acknowledgments of the rights of joint occupancy, that either party would be permitted wholly to dispossess the other, without some regard to juterests whictt had grown up during their mutual pos- session. It appeared to me, also, that all the previous acts of our government had not only been consistent with, but affirmatory of these views; and | could see nothing in the national honor that would justify, much loss demand, a departure from it Pussessing Bifore, in an equal degree as after the vreaty with Spain in i819, all the title which on the graund of discovery, we could as- sert to the country, drained by the waters of the Colum- bia, and which if good for any thing, was valid beyond the 82nd pavatlel of latitude; our government at no time proposed a more northern boundary than the paretlel of OL, and never demanded more than that of 49. Having some knowledge, from my official position at that time. of the policy and objects of the convention of 1828, I am quite persuaded that its main design way to lead ina fie (ure partition of the territory to the recognition of our claim to the country, not north, but south of the forty-ninth parallel, and een that and the Columbia river, A divi sonaile regard to rights pubes 3 up under the joint pos- sessions, always appeared to me to afford a just and prac- ticable basis for an amicable and hondrable adjustment of the subject Such also, I was satisfied, were the views of my own government at the time I engaged in my recent mission, and in earnestly and steadily labor: ing to effect a settlement upon that basis, | was but rep resenting tie policy of my own government, and faith- fully promoting the intentions and wishes of the Presi- lent.

This settles the Oregon question forever. Potttics 1N Francr.—The recent elections in France having resulted in favor of the Guizot, or monarchical party, it becomes interesting to know what are the principles by which his min- istry willbe guided. We extract the following | sketch of an address that distinguished statesman delivered to his constituents, immediately after the election “Order and peace once firmly established, the conserva- tive policy, by keeping a watchful eye towards their maintenance,will be enabled, and it is ita duty to do 80, to turn its attention to other cares and to other works. A P= er pad firmly seated has two imperi to lulfil. It must, above all things, be prepared for the dail: wants of society, for the incidents, the events whicl cross the path of its existence. Without seeking, with- out anticipating such events, it is sufficient to provide for those sent by Providence and to bring them to a hap- PY termination. That duty fulfilled, the government must turn its attention to the development of all germs of prosperity, improvement, and greatnes gradual and regular development w: vance by sudden impulses, nor start after chimerical ideas, but which must be adapted to the healthy pulse of society, 80 as to make it advance each day another step in the path of its legitimate hopes. That is,no doubt perious, a sacred duty of conservative policy assured, gentlemen, it is an end which that pol each system gee will promise conservative policy will alone obtain it, ucceeded in establishing order and ; and, licy al Although the Guizot ministry will have, by the recent elections, a majority of one hundred in the Chamber of Deputies, still the opposition is as fierce as ever. They will keep the Premier awake. The following is a sketch of some re- marks made by Mr. Dupin, indicating his course at the next session: — “ Gentlemen, I shall now call your attention to other matters—to our finances, for which, since 1830, Ihave never ceased to reclaim that balance so unhappily dix turbed, yetso necessary to be kept between expenses and pts, particularly intime of peace . . . . to Alge- ria, which loudly calls jor owerful colonization, and which for sixteen year! always on an increased scele, costs us so dear in men and money (one hundred housand men, and one hundred millions,) without any It having been obtained which we might look upon as satiefactory!....

Those questions will oe mooted agin. Other projects will be reproduced on matters touching political economy, and the reform ot © branches of our legislation. ‘I‘he mission of the le- gisiature is to examine them with care, #0 as to appreci ate their merits, for to reform does not consist merely in a change of that which is, but in improvement founded on inature investigation. It is with such intentions, gen- on those | tlemen, that I return to the Chamber, to continue in that | line of conduct which, up to the present, has been sanc- tioned by your approbation.”, Afiairs in France assume a more important and amore critical aspect every month, nay, every week. The organization of revelutionary clubs throughout the continent of Europe, and the age of Louis Philippe, are facts of startling considera- tion. In this view the remarks of such men as Guizot, Dupin, and Thiers, will be read with the greatest interest in fil republics. Movemzntrs.—The Drevomatic Right Hon. ington, arrived at the City Hotel yesterday from a visit tothe Hon. Daniel Webstor, at Marshfield, where he went fo learn the way to make chow-~ der, and proceeded the same evening to Wash- ington. J. H. Wood, Esq., of her B.

We understand that a new nautical drama, enti- tled the ® Lion of the Sea,” is in rehearsal, and will soon be produced in the manager's usual style of magnifi- cence. Garexwicit Teatre.—The new local drama entitled the ‘ Fireman’s Daughter,” which we noticed fully some time since, still maintains its stand at this theatre, and will be produced again this evening with the same cast previously. The performances will commence with “Venice Preserved, ora Plot Discovered,” in which Mr. Freer, Mrs George Jones, Mr. Drummond, and Mr. | Stevens, will act the chief characters. Miss Crauford, whore reputation ia now established, will take the pert of the Fireman’s Daughter. The whole will conclude with a new farce, called the ‘Silent Lady.” The Green- wich will be crowded to-night. Castie Ganpex.—This delightful saloon is nightly filled with crowds, as well to enjoy the delightful breezes which can be enjoyed only at Castle Garden, as to witness the various entertainments provided by the enterprising proprietors. The entertainments consist of the performances of the troupe of Ethiopian Minstrels, and of Dissolving Views and Chinese Fireworks. There are, moreover. one hundred cosmoramas placed around the saloon, lighted with gas. The refreshments are of the choicest description. There is ne place in the city bec one can enjoy himself better thay at Castle arden. Tue ALLEGHANiaxs —That worthy band ofsingers, are, according to our correspondent, winning golden opinions in Boston. Their first grand Concert, last Saturday even- ing, at the Melodeon, was very well attended, and the critics were there and could not fail to be pleased. Such | accompany, after the two concerts of Baker's and Wood, *s class, on two evenings immediately previous, with the sultry weather, was quite flattering. A better com- pliment than any was paid by the accomplished editor of the Saturday Evening Transcript, which, though uninten- tional, is no less valuiable. ‘The editor speaks of passing through Armory hall basement and listening to Mrs. Se- guin rehearsing a favorite enticipating the pleasure It scoms the Alleghanians were there, not the Seguins, and Mrs. H, the charming Alleghanian vocalist, was rehear- sing a part ina trio in the epera of the Bohemian Girl,— Hear her, hear the alto, baritone and bass of this popular band, accompanied by their accomplished German ‘pian ist, and their many laudatory notices inthe papers where- ever they have been, will seem to be richly deverve On hearing Mrs. H. sing Grattan’s " Oh, I should like to marry,” to her accompaniment last evening, | did not wonder, as stated in your paper recently, that during the | Alleghanian tour through New Bedford, several long | delayed matrimonial affairs were brought to a blissful consummation.

We were both astonished and delighted at the very extraordinary performances of those very ex traordinary children willexhibit » wonde prococity and will burst on the igy, but here is a quintuple o nation of precocity, us rare as itis perfoct. We never saw amore enthusiistic audience than that last even ing. The different pieces were interrupted by loud plaudits, and the ameteucs and protessional musicia feext numbursof whom were present, testified (heir ight by astorm of applause. Miss Coles’ execution on the piano was exquisite It was notalone the proco. | ciousness which she manifested,as the accuracy, brillian- cy and perfection she displayed. On the whole, it was a delightful concert, and we trust to see it repented. The band of youth(ol musicians consists of mastore George and Henry Ballock, mastors James H. and Delos A. Cole and Miss Anne Maria Cole, the latter aged nine years. Tur Ackonats.—These performers, the most celebrat- ed in their way, either in Europe or this country, have oe toappear at the opening of tho Bowery Amphitheatre next week.

Mititany.—We omitted to state that the Italian Guard, Captain Avazana, returned on Monday afiernoen from their annual encampment. They were escorted to their quarters by the Scettish Guard, Vaptain Castle, attended by Dodsworth’s and Dingle’s splendid bands. ‘It argues much in the favor of our military volunteer corps, when we state that these companies marched nine mies, with the thermometer ranging 98.

Ripley, of Avon, Ct., | had his stable broken open on Monday night, and a valu- | able horse stolen therefrom. The thief has been traced | to New York—se, livery stable men, be on the look out. | Charge of Grand Larceny.—Ofticer McDougall of the Sth ward arrested, on Monday night, a brazen-faced creature, of bad reputation, named Emma Place, alias Allen, on a charge of robbing a man by the name of Caleb Godfrey, of $40, while closeted together in a dis- | reputable house kepthy Jenny Sweet, at No. 100 Church | st. Upon being brought before Justice Drinker, the evidence wentto show that the complainant was rather intoxicated at the time of entering the premises, conse- quently the Justize did not consider his recollection to | be quite as bright as it might have been, had he been otherwise, and as there was no money found on t prisoner, or in her room, corresponding with that stolen, the prisoner was discharged. | A Dog Killer in his own Bor.—Quite an amusing scene took place in the 10:h Ward yesterday morning, which caused groat merriment to a lorge number of spectators. | It appears that oue of the dog killers, by the name of Ed- Collins, was returning home witb his boxed up cart after disposing of his morniug’s work of slain dogs, and when near Norfolk atin Delancy, had occasion to stop hin | horse, and descend from hiv co to arrange a part of the harness, which he th out of order; but having taken too man with his Duteh eu tomers, including after several ineffectual attempts to get up, poor Collins found himself totally unable to regain his seat on the box —in fact he was so see ee mirth was created by his grotesque movements in en ring to look sober. Officers Denniston and Helms the 10th Ward, who were attracted to the spot by ti seeing him resemble considerably moro of the many of the unfortunate victims he had slain that morning, concluded to place him in his own box. Consequently, the officers seized the dog killer neck and heela together, and dumped him into the box, amid the roars of hier of all present. The reader must understand (that is, those who have never seen @ dog killer’s cari) that it is a square box built on the cart, with a lid to it, eo that the moment the dog is | kil he is thrown into the box and the iid closed ; and so it was with Collins, for they fastened him inand drove the cart ofto the police office, with a irailof two or three hundred men and boys to enjoy the fun. On arriving at the police, they found instead of one prisoner,they had | two—one| was Collins, who by this time was, so drank that he ‘scarcely knew his own name, and the other was a poor, miserable looking | dead ‘dog, evidently in the last stage of consumption, | which had apparently been returned oy the sausage ma: ker as unsaleabie, the poor beast being nothing but skin and bone, and very little hair onat that. The magistrate committed Collins for intoxication, and the horse and cart were sent to the corporation yard by order of the Court. And thus we see exemplified the oli adage, | that ‘ every dog must have his day.” Burglary —The tailoring store occupied by Mr. & Hatfield, No. 164 Broadway, was LS ingpmeert entered by some expert knack«man last night, by forcing open a sian dane qhish lente late.tne steve ftom on euity who carried off a large quantity of silk goods and vestings without detection.

It is carried on by a set of lawless women, in the face of the very law which was enacted to punish thew. They put up their signs openly. and even advertire in the newspapers.
