IL ITRAPOOL, SATURDAY NICIT/T.
The Hon. And Less rned Member for Dublin arrived
here this morning from Dublin. It war. a few minutes past
seven when he Janda I ; but long before that hour a
great number of his fci ends had assembled on the pier
head to give him awe come reception. He proceeded
to the Adolph Hot el, iind from the balcony of that es-
tablishment he ade tressed the multitude that escorted
him thither from th, • quay:
The dinner to wl rich 'gr. O'Connell was invitad took:
place in the Quec a's Theatre ,ehrisr., n.stret.t. M
building is very cap acioe a, the fleor of it being suftleieat
to accommodate 1,(1001 )ersons. The tables were laid for
700, but many more sat down to dine. 'lle boxes and
galleries were filled. witl i ladies, and in the orchestra an
excellent band of allMit4 as' musicians was in atkodance.
Shortly after six Isle.. O'Connell, accompanied by se-
veral of his friends, ( ast erod the theatre, and was re-
ceived 'with the meat enthusiastic cheering. Mien
dinner bad terminate, L. -
The CHAIRMAN ( dames Rosin, Esq. proposed the
usual preliminary to tats, and then the health of Mr.
O'Connell.
Tremendous chee ring and waving of handkerchief
followed this toast. When the cheering had somewhat
subsided,
Mr. O'Connell astset ded the platform, and after some
eloquent observations addressed to his expatriated
countrymen in Liverp3ol, and some caustic ridicule of
the present represotetatives of that place, the Hon.
Gentleman proceedciL to say—l will tell you the se-
cret of my supporting the Ministry, and I beg of
you to keep the seat et to yourselves—it is, Ireland I--.
their just edministzettion in Ireland—(Cheers)—but
recollect, Ido not ap prove of their do-little, or rather
do-nothing policy; said with these foelings, strongly and
sincerely entertained by me, hero em I now, prepared to make a general extperiment for Reforira for all por-
tions of the empire. Ido not want to be a leader of
any new movement, bolt if no leader can be found, why
I shall be most happy to come forward. When first we
organized a society to obtain Catholic emancipation, all
I could muster was ten, though I had promises from
one hundred and fifty to join us. I was not in the least
disheartened on this ancotust, on the contrary, I struggled
the more perseveringly, and I believe I need hardly ac-
quaint you with the results of that perseverance. Shall,
then, universal England, which is now sick to the heart
at the conduct of the Alinistrys--at their do-nothing,
vacillating measures, when the. rest of the empire, on
almost every other question bat that we are most in-
terested about, namely, the impartial administration
of justice in Ireland—shall England, I ask, ho in- .
different, and allow the cause of Reform to retro-
grade ?—(Laud cries of " No, no.") You say, by
way of excuse, the Terkel are powerful, and you also
talk of the Chartists, but you. shoald remember there is
a wide interval, a broad span of demarcation, between the
Orangemen of Ireland and £ngiish Tories and the
Chartists.—(Hear, hear.) The vast majority of the
middle classes, the wealth, the intelligence, the moral
respectability of the country is identified with neither
extreme. Tho good husbands, the kind fathata, the
obedient sons, then, who are she ornaments of society,
and who love liberty, becanse they know that liberty is
nothing but justice reduced into action—to them I ap-
peal—to this sound and healthy body of EnglitAnsann,
alike removed from the extra-vagant devices of the ex-
treme factions—to these met I appeal, and aelc them,
after they have considered tbas project I mean to lay be-
fore them, to come forward nisei assist tie in carrying it
out to a successful and beneficial issue. I will throw
the beead on the waters, and I hope that the seed
which will be sown may be reaped, and turned to
good account by more skilful hands. Ido not want to
interfere in your affairs at all ; I havo no desire to
improve my mellifluous Irish brogue by such an adap-
Potion of my tones, as will slit the 'nicety of the Saxon
ear. I shall willingly become a joint oC any man's tail,
provided he shows me he is resolved *upon doing the
people's business.—(Cheers.) Let Foe., then, lay the
principles of my project down. The }lon. Gentleman
then proceeded to express his advoc any of perfect reli-
gious liberty, of free trade,'an Exten'sion of the Suffrage,
vote by Ballot, and proceeded to say, " It is for this
purpose I am prepared to forego for a while my own
darling project, and to become a tnenaber of a General
Aseeciation of Reform that is now to be eetablished."
After a long and eloquent speech, w'niols we regret we
have not room for, the Ron. Gentlomesa concluded
amid loud sheers. •
Several other toasts were proposed, end the festi-
vities of the evening were prolonged to a Late hour, t

The Right Hon. E. Lilice, Mr. 1-itimo, and Mr
Leader, left Paris on Friday, for Lonioa.
