SATURDAY NrOliT.

Information has been received from Dublin, announcing the arrest of Mr. Lawless on Thursday last, upon a charge of riot and sedition at Ballybay, on the 23d of September. Mr. Lawless was held to bail for his appearance to take his trial upon this charge. The warrant runs in the following terms.

"That whereas a great and tumultuous assemblage of people, to the amount of 20,000 persons, was held in Ballybay, on the 23c1 of September, to the great danger of the public peace and to the consternation of his Majesty's subjects in that neighbourhood ; that, from the conduct of this mob, apprehensions were entertained that the public tranquillity would be disturbed ; that Mr. John Lawless was amongst and at the head of this mob ; and that he and others did combine and conspire, on some days pre- vious, to produce the said assemblage, &c."

The sureties are Mr. Lawless himself, in 5001., and Mr. Nicholas Mahon, a wealthy Catholic merchant, and Mr. Staunton, the pro- prietor of the Dublin Morning Register, in 2001. each. The re- cognizances are directed for the next Monaghan assizes, to be held in Monaghan ; but it is thought that an attempt will be made to remove the case into the King's Bench, Dublin.

The arrest has created in Dublin no ordinary sensation ; although it is understood that the conduct of Mr. Lawless, on the occasion now brought into question, was not approved of by the other Ca- tholic leaders. It is given out, by way of set-off that the Govern meat inten4 to mewl against some of tile Orangemen. Mr. Graham of Newry, has been apprehended and held to bail for having caused the address of the Catholic Association to the people of Ulster to be posted on the wails of Newry.

There was a Brunswick meeting at Monaghan, on Friday, at which about three thousand Orangemen were present, all armed. The Chairman was Mr. E. J. Shirley, M.P. for Monaghan ; and, in reference to this assemblage, Lord Leveson Gower is reported to have said that the Chairman" should answer for it." The latest advices from Dublin do not mention that any proceedings had been instituted against him.

It is reported that Lord Bexley will attend the County of Kent meeting on Friday next, for the purpose of expressing an opinion that it would be better to leave the Catholic question to the dis- cretion of Ministers, than to agitate the country with its discussion.

The Marquis of Camden is making a strong party to oppose the Brunswickers.

There are no Foreign arrivals to-day.
