O'Connell . . . 2,057 For Mr. Fitxgrrald _ . 2. _ . . 982 - Majority for Mr. O'Connell . --LOU At length this contest las terminated, and the High Sheriff has declared Mr. O'Connell duly elected. This morning the High Sheriff and his Assessor called on both Candidates, to argue before them a Pro test, which - had been lodged by several Freeholders against the return of Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Citzaon, n. and Mr. DOHERTY , attended as Counsel for M r. ' Fitzgerald and on behalf of 'the Freeholders; but Mr. O'Connell declined to appear either in his own person or by Counsel. The following is the Protest : "To THE HIGH SHERIFF Or THE COUNTY OE CLARE. " Inasmuch as Daniel O'Connell, Esq.' is a person professing the Roman Catholic Religion, and as such cannot (viably to sit in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, even if he were elected; we, there. trite give you notice that the election and return of the slid Daniel O'Connell to sit in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, under the wilt to you delivered, will be illegal and void ; and' we do hereby call on you to return the Right Hon. William Vesey Fitz 'erald, he being the only qualified Candidate in nomination. "Signed—Wm. Fitzgerald, W. H. Staepoole, Burdan Blood, Amnion Wuter, George O'Coghan, Wm. Water, Thomas Craw,, John Fitzgerald, amities Studdart, Daniel England. Francis Gore, jun. Richard Studdart, Wm. Scott, Charles CreAgh, James Cremes, John S. Vatideieur, M.

Butler, Thomas Browne, Charles Borlty, J. MiNanara,Thonsas Studdart. Robert Kean, Arthur Capys." The following was also put in : ' " I, George Doran, of Conudatban, in the Barony of Clondidam, of this county, do swear that I have read an Address in the Dublin Evening Post Newspaper of the Ist flay of July, in the present year, signed Daniel 0 C ninell, and directed to the Electors of the County, oath a view, it is this deponent's firm belief, of inducing the said Electors to vote for him at this election. De pitent saith he believes that Daniel O'Connell, Esq. one f f the Candidates for the representation of this County, was the person who wrote and composed the said Address, and that said Address was published through his means, and by his instigation. Deponent further saith, it is stated in said Address that the said Daniel O'Connell is a Roman Catholic, and that he declares that hr would never take certain oaths now by law necessary to qualify and enable him to sit and vote in Parliament. (Signed) "GEORGE DORAN." A fu ther affidavit was put in, certifying that Mr O'Connell was, aothe time of taking out his certificate for the'bar, a Roman Catholic, and that he entered him self as such. Mr. CUEAGH and Mr. DOHERTY, in support of their application, quoted the 41st of George 111. cap. 52, 2d and 6th sections, and contended that a person dis qualified from sitting and voting in the Hrhsse of Com- Mons was equally disqualified trom being elected. They also referred to the ca s e of Hur.C:in East's Reports, in which Sir Thomas Mostyn, a minor, was returned by the returning officer, having the greatest number of votes, but he being under age, and that fact being no. torious, the House of Commons decided that the return wad void and bad, and that it was vexatious. It was also contended by them that it was notorious that Mr. O'Ct.nnell was a person not in ease for the purpose of this election, inasmuch as he declared on the hustings, that he , world not qisality himself according to law. Mr. KEATINGE (tire Assessor) begged leave to say, on the part of the High Sheriff. that Mr. O'Connell made no such declarati n; he and the High Sheriff' were aware that a question as to eligibility might be raised, sad he felt it his duty to watch the progress of Mr. O'Connelrs address from beginning treendiand it struck him that thevestion, whether Mr. O'Connell would or would not take the oath was cautiously abstained from. Mr. O'Connell addtesaed the freeholders as if in the prompt on that no disqualification existed against him. ale of the Learned Counsel (Mr. Creagh) staled that Mr. O'Connell said in his address, 4 4 Now choose be ' tween me and Mr Fitzgerald; he will take these oaths. I' •ouid so ,ner die than do so," The Assessor said he recollected the words, but he did not think they went to the extent contended for, and, at•least, he would require an affidavit of the exact words. Mr. Canton said he was ready to make himself the affidavit, and he, then entered into a very learned and powerful arg9inent in support of the protests. But the Assessni clouded that there was a material difference be trap* " being qualified to be elected," and " being Thzlified to sit and vote." A man might be qualified to be elected. who might be afterwards declared not qualified to sit and vote. Tie law had imposed a test by which this qualification was to be decided—but that Est could not be imposed on the hustings. The As sessor, however, said, " I sirs admit, and I take thit opportunity of stating it, as a great deal of silly matter has been uttered upon the subject. that Mr. O'Connell never can sic and vote in the House of Commons untii he takes the oaths prescribed by the Act Wits Chas. IL" The Assessor, however, advised the Sheriff t 1 return the Candidate who had the greatest number of legal vo:es. • The room was crowded to excess during the argu . meet, and shortly after the Learned Assessor had cori. elude: 1 ;11e or Binary business of the election was resumed. At six o'clock the polling closed, when it was found t hat there were polled of good votes, For Mr. O'Connell , . . . • . • 6 . For Mr. Fitzgerald . . . . . 2 The Act of Parliament making it imperative that no booth shall be ke; t open on or after the fifth day of polling, in which booth twenty votes have not been polled, the election was consequently declared to be reiniii.ated, and Daniel O'Cfunell, of the Order of Liberators, was declared duly elected to serve in Par hament for the County of Clare. , The annouticement was of coarse received by the multitude with desfisaing shouts of applause. A sheet time previously to the return being made, Mr. Fitzgerald, accompanied by a troop of friend:, as cended the hustings. the Right Hon. Gentleman was received With the unanimous approbation of the meeting; and when order was restored— Mr. O'Constant, proceeded to address tligArelillgv — The Learned Meatbef-appeared in an in•Eant to h Changed hi. whole demeanour.

I declare it solemnly, that there mixed no personal feeling in my assertion of what - I deemed a public cause ; and if, in the beginning of the contest, there was and thing which felt harsh to his ear, I wish it were forgotten. Anti, when I look back, from my heart I desire to see it expunged—(Hear.) I wish I could blot ont • whatever of harshness was connected with this contest. I with I could pour Lethean waters over the slightest unkindness which took place. I will not now enter into one particle of public subjects on which we differ ; and I arrive at that determination the more readily, because I begin and end in acceding my ready assent to the sentiments e f pet sonal.regard which the Right Hon. Gentleman's friends express and entertain for him. It may appear o'.t of place if I were to say anything to the landlords here assetrible3 with respect to their threats. It may be vain to expect kindness, °ln them; but I judge better of them than they do of! themselves.

The schoolmaster has been abroad; and I call on the natural magistracy of the land to show An example of lenity and forbearance which will make them belived among men.

To them, collecrively and individually; 'I wish in the first` place to offer my grateful and sincere acknowledgments. In whatever dispositiun, Sir, I entered this Cour t—with whateier recollectiont of what passed oa the last day that I addressed you in this place, still the manner in which the Learned Gentleman has this day addressed you, and the tone of his speech, have left me no wish to advert to what passed on a previous occasion. I can assure you no circumstance of it shall be touched upon by me now; and I will even add, th t ill thought the result of this election, whatever I may deem of its character, *ere likely to have the effect of fur warding, as he believes it likely to do, the cause to which I have been sincerely attached; if I could persuade myself that this election and this return would lead to its final sets dement, I would gladly sink in oblivion every thobght of personal interest or feeling; even, should a shade Of either rise with, still less embitter s the triumph of, those principles, and of that questing., which I have steadily, and, as I hope it will be admitted. honestly advocated. I will not recur, Sir, to the legal points which have bein-adverted to, nor to any of the ques tions which have been raised on the subject of Mi. O'Connell's eligibility ; of it e validity cf mese point., it is not for me to judge ; they must go betore a higher for burial t ban yours.

I ciall be happy and proud to serve you uoh the same ,and the same fidelity as when I had the honour to be your re presentative and your servant —(The Right Hon.

I came forward he.e, Sir, on the fi , :t day t f this eke.

Sir, I cannot altogether pass over the manner in which the triumph of my Right Honourable Friend's adversary Wei achieved— it was achieved, Sir, by severing ties Which here.' tufore did, and ever ought to bind the tenant to his landlord. Whatever the results may be which must grow out of this state of things, let those who brought it about be answerable—upon their heads be it. Sir, I came forward to give my 'Right Hon. Friend my support. because I did believe and do believe, that he is an holiest and ithltdits supporter of the claims of my Roman Catholic countrymen, and tinder this conviction I own I do feel no trilling degree of - verttion, at find ing the' Roman 'Catholic' and Laity electing ,eveae nerve, and atailills 1 4111. 417. `to oust my Right likalleittftrooi the teptesillitatitelloef the county. All the kindititrir feelnigs of our haturaVive been rent sunder in this contest, and let those bear the blame to *hose exertions it ha i been owing. The Right Hon. Gentleman has been called to the councils of his Sove reign ; talents such be , pOisesses cannot but gain him great influence; and I had hoped, and indeed do still hope, to see those talents exercised in behalf of his country. In this contest Mr. Fitzgerald has been as nothing ; the individual man has been forgotten, as well as the benefits he conferred upon his count y ; all energies were directed tonusi him, whose only crime was his baviog obeyed the call of his floyereign; and we have now lait the ablest, the moot loge% and in my 'ellel one of the most efficient Representatives that Ire.. lan I ever sent to the councils of the nation—(Cheers). Mr. Wtt.soy, Mr. IYGOIIINAN M A lION, Mi. Wane, and Mr. Slim. followed. These Gentlemen bote testi isony to the private worth of Mr. Fitzgerald, and, re gretted that he should have been the victim through whose person the'Wellington Administration was to be assailed. Well, said Mr. Smut, may Mr. Fitzgerald boast that he has not lost a friend during this contest. tie has not, Sir ; he never could lose a frietrd that he once possessed ; but he has done more here than merely keep his friends—he has appeased an enemy—(Loud cheers). I have spoken of him elsewhere, perhaps taunt ingly, and I now offer him an apology for having so done. The victory, Sir, we have obtained is not over Mr. Fitzgerald, but over the party with whom he has be come connected, and from whom perhaps he found it impossible to dissever himself. That patty is a power. Jul one; but the more powerful it is, the greater is our victory. Heee the organization of the people is com plete—l will admit that it is dreadful—(Lou .1 cheer:). It is dreadful, I admit, to behold thirty thousand men so disciplined—so organised,. And what, I would ask are the conclusions to be drawn from this state of things? May GOD giant that these events at which I have not glanced, but whose coming east their shadows before— may GOD, 1 . say, avert from my country such a tate as 1 dare scarcely think upon—may our rulers interpose and put an end to the political miracle which the last week presented, and thereby restore the country to per manent tranquillity—(Lotid • cheers). : The High Sheriff then shook hands wi:h Mr. O'Con nell, and congratulated him upon being it-tinned.— Three cheers were given for the succes-ful candidate, and three for the late Representative; after which the vast concourse of persons. separated, and at eleven o'clock the streets were as quiet as if nothing'had r c curled daring the week to disturb the harmony which existed previously to the commencement (if the Election. Mr. O'Connell, immediately •on the precept being signed, franked a 'lever, and remarked at the same time, " this is the best job of agitation I ever attempted." DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENINO.—Of course, the intel• ligence of O'Connell's victory has already reached y.n. No winds can describe the public exultation. I . had been previously arranged that, there should be a magnifiCene triumphal entry of the Liberator, but the intention is abandoned. His Committee sitting in Dub. lin have been deliberating upon the subject all this Jay. and now, at four o'clock, they have come to the tol. lowing resolutions: Resoi*ed—That firmly convinced that the great cause of civil and religious liberty cannot be more effec• tunny promoted than by the moderation and concilia tory disposition evinced by its friends, in the hour rf victory, We conjure.the people of Iftsblin to abstain, on tht present occasion, from all demonstration of their Joy, such as illuminations, bonfires, and every display of a like character. Resolved—That we rely upon all those who are sin cerely attached to the interest of the Catholic cue of whin Mr. O'Connell is now the elected representative, to receive this entreaty in the spirit which dictates it, and to give effect to our resolution, solemnly and deli berate') ado' ted, that there he nu triumphal entry—no illuminations—no bonfires—no procession—nor similar demonsttations on the present occasion. R-solved—That we are strengtheried in this solemn recommendation by the earnest entreaty of Mr. 01;4n nell himself. It is decided that the Man of the People shall have a grand public dinner on Monday nest, to commemorate , his triumph. It will be a splendid festival. His franks came to town this morning. The first was addressed to a C t iolic merchant of great public spirit among u , , and who, although 70 leat a of age, ha., worked nig, t and day to advance the election. It was marked Nu. I. The second frank was addressed to Mrs. ()Connell; the remainder were obtained by his friends upon the t, as Memo, Ws of this singular triumph, to transmit to their friends.
