SATURDAY, Two o'cLocx.
There are no arrivals to-day of importance from the Continent. The German Papers of the 8th contain no later accounts from Constantinople than the 10th of January, at which time no answer had been returned to the proposals of M. Jauhert, the French Envoy. Accounts from Greece state that the President has at length announced the preliminary arrangements for the organiza- tion of the Government.
Letters have been received this morning from Mr. O'Dwyer, the Secretary of the Catholic Association, announcing the proceedings on Thursday, lip to a certain hour ; at which time no doubt was en- tertained by Mr. O'Dwyer that the Association would be dissolved in the course of the day. Another letter had been received from Mr. O'Connell, in which he concurred in the general expediency of dissolving the Association, although he feared that it might be taken as an admission of the charges which had been brought against them. Mr. O'Connell, in his letter, states that he has learned upon good authority, that it is not intended to interfere with the forty- shilling freeholders in the proposed bill, or to introduce any vetois- tical clause.
The Anti-Catholic meeting, at the Crown and Anchor, this day, is attended by about eight hundred persons. A most stormy dis- cussion is going on : the majority appear violent Anti-Catholics. Mr. Henry Hunt is present.
