rnett, and Miss Fenny Gwynne. Mistakes he made, errors ho was guilty of, his
tongue in Oratory was too often loading the air
with words of foul and vulgar abuse, the later
years of his life were, to our thinking, nothing
less than wilfully and most idly wasted in pursuit
of an unattainable chimera. Yet, granting that all
this may be said thus as against him, as in deprecia-
tion of his memorable career and his resplendent
powers, he was A Liberator he was The
Liberator of many millions of his fellow-men—
of the vast majority of his own fellow-country-
men and of co-religionists of theirs in all quarters
of the globe, otherwise to express it, in all parts of
the British dominions. And he was their Liberator
in the fullest meaning of the word—their Liberator
corporeally, mentally, and spiritually—their Libe-
rator in Body, and Soul, and Intellect. If any
one has failed yet fully to realise what DANIEL
O'CONNELL really was, and what he actually did,
entitling him to what no one can now rob
him of, this glorious title of Liberator—
" The LIBERATOR''--let them turn to whatever

his death by the greatest Liberal and the greatest

funeral cration that has been uttered since the
imperial lips of BOSSUET were closed in death,
the funeral oration pronounced upon O'CONNELL
by the Dominican monk LACORDAIRE.
Eighteen years have now elapsed since, in
the autumn of 1847, DANIEL O'CONNELL, the Libe-
rator, then on his way to Rome, breathed his last at
Genoa. And it is only after these eighteen years
have passed by that the foundation stone of a
national monument in his honour ie formally laid
in the capital of Ireland by the hands of the chief
magistrate of the city of Dublin, in the presence of
a vast number of the Liberator's compatriots.
Surely a reasonable proceeding ! Surely a pro.
ceeding—after these eighteen years have elapsed
—in no way precipitate! Surely a simple act
of gratitude, of justice, of common decency,
and of common sense. Yet it was as a counter-
demonstration to this display of national gratitude
and right feeling towards the memory of O'CoN-
NELL among a
_race whom he has so largely bene-
fited, that the Orangemen of Belfast assembled for
the purpose of indulging themselves in what we
have already designated, one of those pieces of
savage stupidity, the burning of the effigy of a
great man. In this instance, as already re•
marked, the effigy of the greatest man Ire•
land ever produced. And now we are witnessing
the just fitting result of this same piece of most
savage stupidity—namely, the delivering up of Bel•
fast for several days and nights in succession into
the hands of rioters armed with stones and brick-
bats and bludgeons. The latest achievements of
these rioters being the attacking and sacking of a

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1864.

The disgraceful riots at Belfast turn all eyes to
Dublin Castle. We wait to see what will he done
by Lord CARLISLE. According to the last accounts
received by telegraph from the scene of these atro-
cious riots, there was a talk about calling out the
military. The soldiery were already under arms,
the only uncertainty being whether they would
actually be called out. It is of course an extreme
proceeding this calling out of the military, a pro-
ceeding wisely resorted to only under the direst
Emergency, and when everything else has been
done towards the suppression of street tumults, with
a view to the effectual restoration of order among
an insurgent population. Nevertheless, what fur-
thee provocation has been needed down at Bel-
fast towards the justification of the authorities
there in resorting at length to that last and ex-
tremest proceeding of all—the calling out of the
military ? The brutalities of the Orangemen there
have certainly been sufficiently various and suffi-
ciently destructive not only to justify, but to neces-
sitate the summoning, by the civil authorities, to
their assistance in restoring quietude to Belfast and
its vicinity, the military expressly stationed there
to that very end in the immediate neighbourhood.
The rioting commenced, it will be remembered only
too distinctly, several days back, with one of those
incidents expressive of savage stupidity on the
part of a fanatical population—the burning of the
Effigy of a great man as a sort of oounter demon-
stration to a display elsewhere of grateful admira-
tion towards him on the part of his admirers. In this
particular instance, down at Belfast, the savage
stupidity of the Orangemen of that red-hot Orange
locality was indicated, not by the burning of the
effigy of A Great Man, but by the burn-
ing of the effigy of The sreatest Man Ire-
land has ever k.roduced. The contrast presented
to view by those two demonstrations—the one at
Dublin and the cue at Belfast—is certainly, to say
the least of it, very significant. Yonder, in the Irish
capital, it was, as a demonstration, the very grandest
that has ever taken place there in that land of de-
monstrations, in that metropolis of demonstrations.
It was the vastest, the most unanimous, the most
orderly from beginning to end. The occasicn was—

assemblage of Irishmen, for the purpose of taking

iu his regard, for the cherishing of hie

It was not likely that the Mayor and citizens
of Cork would miss so favourable an opportunity
of enforcing their wishes upon Ministers as the
occasion presented by the grand banquet given to
the Lords of the Admiralty and the officers of the
Channel Fleet, at Cork, in the beginning of the
week. The dignitaries who visited them on this
occasion were, too, the very members of the Govern-
ment whose sympathies the good folks of Cork were
most anxious to enlist in the cause of their harbour
and its prospective dockyard. The Lords of the
Admiralty are now on a tour of inspection, and
naturally included the much-talked of harbour of
Queenstown in their survey. The Mayor and
citizens of Cork at once availed themselves of the
opportunity to show Irish hospitality in full splen-
dour, and to impress upon these flying visitors the
advantages which were offered by their harbour for
the construction of a dock. The Mayor of Cork,
Mr. MAGUIRE, who presided at the banquet, has
lately, been often before the public in reference to
a matter connected with this very harbour—the
obnoxious Daunt's Rock, which occasioned
the total wreck of a goodly vessel last
summer. Very recently he has been striving
to impress upon the authorities tha necessity
of doing something to lessen the dangers which
(this obstacle presents to naval traffic before the
winter months set in, though as yet his remon-
strances have been without effect. At this we need
not wonder, for any one official board or body is
difficult to move, but when it is necessary to influ-
ence three to joint action the case is almost hopeless,
especially when it is not very clear whose duty it
is to take the first step. This subject was not, how-
ever, touched upon the other evening; Mr.
_MA-
GUIRE, and others interested in the matter, probably
thinking that if the Government took up the mat-
ter of the dockyard in earnest Daunt's Rock would
not long be suffered to bar the passage way.
One topic there was which, though uncon-
nected with nautical matters, was naturally
referred to in the course of the evening. The de-
parture of the Earl of CARLISLE, and his resigna-
tion of the Viceregal dignity, could hardly have been
passed over without some tribute to the public
character and private excellence of that deservedly-
respected nobleman. On all sides, sincere respect
and a conviction of his earnest desire to promote
the welfare of the country, were expressed. Lord
FERMOY, in speaking of him, said that whatever
were their political sentiments, they ail felt that
wherever Lord CARLISLE was there Ireland and the
Irish would have a friend. There are few English
statesmen, we should hope, who, in occupying such
a position, would fall into the error of identifying
themselves with any sect or party, but the Earl of
CARLISLE has shown an unusual degree of tact and
courtesy, end has contrived to conciliate all parties
by irritating the prejudices of none. We trust that
when his place is filled his successor may be as
wisely selected, but whether it need be filled at all
is a question that may very well present itself to
the public. If the office were of any real advan-
tage to 601E2' country, £20,000 a year should not
weigh in the balance against national good, but
wise men have long asked where the national
good lies, and whether Ireland at least would not .
