MR. O'CONNELL'S FRIGHT.

Dublin, June 24.—This morning, Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Messrs. Ronayne, Sarsfield, Lanigan, Barrett, &c. attended at the head Office of Police. to lodge information against Mr Talbot Glascock, the opposition candidate for Clare. Mr. Ronayne stated that he had heard Mr. Glascock make use of threatening language on divers occasions to Mr. O'Connell; but that particularly, on the day before, he saw Mr. Glascock in the Hall of the Four Courts, flourishing a detonating gun, which was made to resemble a cane, and with which he swore he would drive a bullet through the white liver of the great demagogue, without touching his black heart. with several expressions of a similar nature. all tending to create an apprehension that he would commit a breach of the peace. The information of Messrs. O'Connell and Ronayne were immediately taken by Mr. Tudor, who, forthwith, issued his warrant, and in less than half an hour, Manley, the officer, took Mr. Glascock into custody, as he was stepping into his travelling carriage, at the door of his Hotel in Dawson-street. On being examined by Mr Tudor, he disclaimed any intention of offering violence to the person of Mr. O'Connell. He believed he might have made use of the words "white liver, and black heart, but assured his Worship it was only in a metaphorical sense; and added. that on the same occasion he had stated he would send Mr. O'Connell to Cheltenham to get cured of his liver complaint, &c. He failed, however, in inducing Mr. Tudor to believe that he was not influenced by hostile motives, and was, therefore, ordered to find securities to keep the peace, himself in £100, and two householders of respectability in £50 each. Mr. Glascock stated he could easily procure the necessary sureties, and immediately despatched his friend and relative, young Mr. Scriven, in search of them.

From the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday.

Mr. Glascock was allowed to remain in the waiting room in order to have an opportunity of communicating with his friends.

In the course of the day. Lord Muskerry, Mr. Scriven, the barrister, and one of his sons, called to see the prisoner His Lordship stated his readiness to become one of the sureties, but feared he would not be accepted, as he was not a householder of Dublin.

Mr. Scriven stated his unwillingness to interfere.

At three o'clock all the Magistrates, except Mr. Tudor, left the office, and that gentleman remained for the purpose of taking bail, if it should be offered.

At this time Mr. Glascock was busily employed in writing an address to the freeholders of Clare, and "more particularly to the Catholic portion of them," complaining of his detention in custody.

At half past five o'clock, Mr. Glascock was again brought into the board room; and the Magistrates asked if there was any prospect of his obtaining bail

"Oh, my dear sir, to be sure," replied Mr. Glascock, "but there is not the slightest occasion, for I am as mild as a child, and, thanks be to God, blessed with a most extraordinary command of temper. I assure you, if Mr. O'Connell knocked me down this moment, I should not say a word. I am now occupied in writing to the people of Clare, and when my friends arrive, I shall give you a call,"

Mr. Tudor said, that as his dinner hour had arrived he would be obliged to leave the office for some time ; but if Mr.Glascock desired it, he had no objection to return at 7 o'clock.

Mr. Glascock expressed his thanks, and stated that by that time, at all events, his sureties would be ready.
Shortly after seven o'clock, Mr. Tudor came to the office—but there were no sureties—in fact, there was no one with the prisoner but the peace officer and Mr. Scriven, jun. A committee was made out and signed by Mr. Tudor; and Mr. Glascock, Mr. Scriven, and a brace of officers set off in a coach for Newgate, where Mr. Glascock is at present sojourning.

Since the above was in type, we find the following paragraph from Dublin, in the Morning Herald of June 30: Mr. Talbot Glascock's application to the Court of King's Bench was disposed of on Saturday, by an order that he should give security to keep the peace to Daniel O'Connell, Esq. himself in £500, and two sureties in £100 each. Recognizances were, accordingly, entered into, and enlargement, of course, obtained. Mr. Glascock is, we understand, firm in his resolve of opposing Mr. O'Connell at the ensuing Clare election.
