Dram. Oer 14.
There is nothing spoken of to-day in Dublin bat the
memorial for mercy upon Mr. Smith O'Brien. The
°tangents.% are first in this Rood work. They have
had an address to her Majesty agreed to and
signedby the respective metropolitan and other lodges,
so far as the time would enable them to effect it, which

hsebesa already forwarded to the foot of the throne.
A deputation, at the head of which is, I understand,
- .

the master d the " Wellesley Lodge," has been ap-
pointed to present it to her Majesty.
The Rev. Dr. Todd, one of the Fellows of Trinity,
has also originated an address to the Queen, praying
that the sentence of death may not be allowed to have
effect. This address will be very numerously signed
by the high conservative and church party.
The movement commenced on Thursday advances
vigorously. The brief memorial agreed to, of which
I forwarded a copy, has already received probably
not fewer than 100,000 signatures. Even this num-
ber would be exceeded but for the confident impres-
sion abroad arising from the tone of Lord Clarendon's
communication with the deputation on Thursday last,
which indicated that Mr. O'Brien's life will not be
taken. It is understood that Lord Clarendon will re-
ceive the memorial on Monday.
The Evening Post states " on authority" that the
letter of Mr. Young to Sir W. Napier was tendered to
the solicitor of Mr. O'Connell to be used for his de
fence in 1844, but was rejected both by O'Connell and
his solicitor on two grounds, first, that it would not be
legal evidence ; and secondly, because being private
it ought not to bo produced.
Ocr.

The corporation of Limerick have convened a special
meeting of their body, to prepare an address to his
Excellency Lord Clarendon, enforcing the recom-
mendation of the jury in the case of Mr. Smith
O'Brien. The citizens have adopted and signed ex-
tensively a &gement of an import slimier to that now
in proms of signature in Dublin ; and a deputation
will be named to present it when completed. In
Cork a similar movement is in progress, and it is
worthy of remark that in every in.tance the con-
servatives and those most opposed to Mr. O'Brien's
policy exert themselves in the cause of mercy with
great zeal. Meanwhile, the parties having the deepest
interest at stake do not, if we may believe public
rumour, manifest much depression. Mr. O'Brien. we
are informed, hu sent for a dozen copies of the litho-
graphed daguerreotype likeness of himself, done
by Gluckman—and an admirable one it is—.
to present copies to several friends. Mr.
Meagher, have been informed, amuses himself
and his friends with ludicrous reminiscences of
his progress in the mountains. He is particu-
larly happy in one scene, it is said. Two
heroes were ascending Slievenamon about a week be-
fore O'Brien'. capture. The novelty of their circum-
stances had worn away, and the crowd who was
theretofore at their heels hadevaporated—probably be-
fore the blaze of the redcoats below. About a dozen
marched with them to Coventry, ragged, shoeless,
wee-begone, and without arms save a couple of pitch-
forks. One of the twain looked back, and, impressed
with conviction, said, "It is useless : the country
does not respond to us ; better give the thing up at
once, and leave it." His companion, with a perfectly
composed, grave, and grand enunciation, and in
earned mood, replied " What ! would you abandon
' these brave fellows r meaning the aforesaid dozen of
shirtier' inaurgenta. The effect au irresistible on the
more youthful leader; he burst into uncontrollable
laughter, but made no reply.

Ma. O'Bataw.—Mr. O'Brien continues to enjoy excellent
health. He is perfectly obeerial and composed, cad in his
anal good spirits, not ia the lemt depressed by the circum-
stance' of his painful end perilmee potties. He rises at six
o'clock every raing, adthealdhets at halt-past omen.
