DItURY-LANE THEATRE.----After an ab-

re-appeared last night in his original and favourite part of
Virginias, in Ktiowmts's tragedy. We really have
nothing new to say of him, for he offered nothing new in
his performlnee • be made all his old points in his old
way, and though that way be good, it is well remem-
bered. Nobody can call his acting common-place, and
perhaps it would be better if it were a little less peculiar.
He is the greatest mannerist we know or hive known on
the stage, and whatever part he attempts he is still Mac.
READY ; he never loses the actor in the character, and
seems to take pains to stand, walk, and talk as unlike
other performers as he can. He is unquestionably a man
of talents, but still not clever enough to be aware that
other people are at least as clever as himself. He hardly
pitched his voice well in the earlier scenes, and in many
parts of the house he must have been inaudible; this
error, perhaps, arises from want of practice in a wide
area ; and, if so, he will soon overcome it. We are un-
questionably of opinion that, in Ow days, he ought to
he encouraged, and the character Of Virginias is one of
his very best : certain it is, that he has had no follower
in it, for although others have attempted it, they have
uniformly failed. He never played the trial scene better,
and was warmly applauded by a tolerably full house. lie
still manages so to stand (how he does it we know not) as
if he were on the point of losing his centre of gravity, and
as if the legs he projected before him did not belong to

REPEAt. or THE Uzitox,—One of the
most numerous, ropectable, and splendid meetings'
which has ever been held in the City of Waterford,
was yesterday assembled at the Equestrian Circus, to pe-
tition for a repeal of the Legislative Union with (ireat
Britain. ll>txrtv WINSTON Bsultox, Esq., of Belmont
House, in the Chair. Several excellent speeches were de-
livered by the Liberator and others, which shall appear in
our full report of the proceedings on Tuesday next. The
feeling of the meeting was most uninimons and enthusi-
astie, and its spirit quite determined. The truth is, that
let the Dictator swallow as he maye " the bitter draught,"

Union must be constitutionally repealed.--Waterford

A report is in die city, and seems to be not
without f4undstion, that smut houses in Birmingham have
entered into a contract for the supply of 300,000 muskets
to the French Government. It is supposed Also that the
quantity required will be ultimately much greater. The
order is said to be a very pressing one, and that a delivery
is urged at the rate of 80,060 monthly if possible. The
circumstance is not at present viewed w►th any alarm► in
the money-►market, as the motive assigned for the order,
and the despatch of it, which there is no reason for not
believing to be the true one, is the miserable state of in.

ENTRY OF TflF,' LIBERATOR INTO

WATERFORD.

(Abridged from the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday.

On Thursday evening, at four o'clock, the Liberator
entered this city, attenled by about ten thousand people,
followed by a train of vehicles of various descriptions. All
the vessels in the river, chiefly English, bad their flags at
the triait'benol; and several of them continued firing their
guns from the time the procession entered the city until it
arrived at the Club-house. The Nora ercina (steamer,
which was in the river, also saluted the Liberator with
her guns.

At half-past bix o'clock near a hundred anti seventy
gentlemen, amongst whom were several repectable Pro-
testants, sat down to dinner in the rooms of the Club-
house--DOMINICX RPNAYXE, Epq. acting as President,
and ROBRRT I.obtaabt and llEwar Wixs.rox 13.s.nnobt,
&qrs. as Vice-Presidents.

The CHAIRMA K addressed the • meeting, and proposed
" The People—the only true sourca of legitimate power."
(Great cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN had then to announce to them the
health of a patriot King.—(Cheers.)—He had served his
country early in life, and his associations were such as to
teach him the value of democratic habits. What Ireland
wanted was a cheap Government, and there was no doubt
but such a King as William IV, would exert himself to
procure it for his people. There must be a great change
in Europe, for, as Jefferson said, " The many were not
born with saddles on their hacks to be ridden by the few."
(Great cheering.)—" His Majesty William IV., and long
life to him."—(lmmense cheering for several minutes.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed, as a pattern of conjugal
fidelity and domestic virtue, fit to be imitated by females
in every rank of life—" Our Gracious Queen."—(Great
cheering.)
The Cuainmax hoped, that gratitude would, as it had
ever been, continue to be a national characteristic, and so
long as it was, Ireland would never forget the benevolent,
the chivalrous, and the kind-hearted Anglesea.
" The most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea."—(Cheer-
ing for several minutes.)
The Cualastatr would call for an overflowing bumper
to the next toast. He was about to propose the health of
a man who had been zealously serving his native country
for thirty year., and whose services would make a part
and parcel of Irish history. He had organised the Catholic
Associttion, but long previous to the existence of that
body, he had, for four years, defrayed out of his own pri-
vate fortune all the expences incidental to the presentation
of petitions to Parliament for Catholic Emancipation. Ile
had planned the establishment of that national tuna, the
Catholic Rent, by the aid of which liberty had been ob-
tained for the Irish Catholics.

" Daniel O'Connell, Esq., the Liberator of his country."
The cheering, at the announcement of this toast, con-
tinued for a considerable length of time. As soon as
silence was obtained,
_ _

Mr. OTONNFLT. rose and addressed the meeting nearly
as follows :—I shall go as )our servant to a foreign country
and a foreign Legislature. When there during the last
Session, I lost no opportunity of studying, and endeavour-
ing to understand the character of her Parliament, and I
certainly had a much higher opinion of it when I first
went to London than I have of it at present. The conduct
of its Members was utterly undignified throughout. The
party which opposed the Ministry was equally factious as
the party who acted with the Ministry. There was one
man, however, in the House to redeem its character—the
excellent Joseph flume.—(Cheers ) It seems that one of
my great political sins is personality. A great crime
it is in toy political life, but I shall be accused of per-
sonality when I endeavour to make scoundrels feel
that they have oppressed Ireland. They may be quite
certain that I shall always strive to snake them as
uncomfortable as I can.—(Cheers and laughter.)--
I nth determined not to yield an inch to any man or to any
Mirrlster who shall attempt any thing derogatory to the
'intermit and happiness of Ireland.—(Cheers.)—You all
know that I am a radical reformer, and I shall begin my
reform in the Hon. House itself.--(Laughter.)-1 pledge
myself that the moment the clock strikes nine, I shall
move an adjournment of the Hon. House ; and if I shall
be defeated in a first and secoad adjournment, I will treat
them to a third and a fourth ; for it ,is not necessary to
go through the rime formalities in moving au adjournment
which are required on other questions. I pledge myself
to my constituents to persevere in this course until this
abominable abuse shall he corrected.—(Cheers.)—There
is no profession but would be degraded by imitating the
orgies of the lion. House. I have been a water-drinker
and an early riser all my life ; and I cannot but
hold in abhorrence the regulations of a Legisla-
ture, which has not even the pretence of an example
to justify it in the civilised world.—(Great cheering.)--
The people of England are content to be ridden over by a
corrupt and tyrannical oligarchy...4re them bey). It is
the duty of Ireland, and more particularly of her repre-
sentatives, to deprive that base oligarchy of, its uncut:di-
tutional power. —(Cheers.) The Sub letting Act, that
frightful source of petty tyranny and public discontent,
must he repealed.--(Cheers.) Something must be ren-
dered back to the country out of the four millions received
by the absentees. I own that I rejoice in the severance of
the Church of France from the State, and I object to that
system of injustice which would compel a Protestant to
support a Catholic Establishment, as much as I object to
a Catholic supporting a Protestant Establishment.—
(Cheers.) My fixed principle is to let every religion be
tried by its tendency to improve the moral condition of the
human race, and truth will ultimately prevail: but truth
never will lie assisted by persecution.—(Cheers.) I am
pledged to my country as a It:Wiest Reformer. In my
public efforts, I could have borne, with patience, the hos-
tility of Mr. Peel, but I was mortified at finding my
flanks turned by Lord John Russell and Mr. Brougham.
I did riot turn on them, but I expect it will be the last
time Mr. Brougliam'e trickery on the question of reform
shall he successful. If he chooser' to take up the questiou
I willgive it up to him; but if hr declines, and clings to
the oligarchy—if he wishes to leave the rotten boroughs
untouched, I pledge myself to the men of Waterford that
I shall persevere in my course, and expose the insin-
cerity of Brougham to the empire.—(Cheers.)
out the vote by ballot, reform will be but a mockery.
I have no doubt the question will be carried, as troll as all
those other questions which are essential to the happiness
of the people, in a peaceable and constitutional way. The
moral influence of public opinion will work out the salva-
tion of the country. The terrors of brute force can have
no influence whatever on the people of Europe—those ter.
rors have vanished before the genius of Paris and Bruise's.
--(Great sheering.)—ln seeking a repeal of the Union, I
struggle for the gond of all. The Orangeman, the Pro-
testant, the Dissenter, and Quaker, will be equally bane-
nefitted by it. I look for nothing exclusive. My object
is not to serve Catholics, but Irishmen.—.(Great cheer-
ing.)-1 invoke the genius of universal benevolence in my
struggle, and call upon my countrymen of every denomi-
nation to assist me in reclaiming that Legislature which
they had lost by fraud and violence.—(Great cheering.)
...For thirty years has the Parliament of England been le,
gislating for us, and 1 defy any human being to point
out one single benefit which Ireland has derived front
this fureigu legislation.--(Great cheering.)-1 implore
my countrymen not to lose sight of this great object,
which, if it succeeds, will make them a prosperous and
contented people, and restore their country to what it once
was—au imperial and independent nation, under the same
Crown with England.—(Great cheering.)—Rely on it
that those inveterate abuses which have been so long
eating, like the canker worm, into our beet institutions,
must be speedily corrected.—(Great cheering.)--A
mighty political torrent is now proceeding majestically
over the face of Europe, not bringing desolation with it,
like the lava from the volcano, but coming to oppressed
roan as the harbinger of equal rights, and as the minister
of justice to exploded tyranny.--(Great cheering.)--Whai
we went is restoration, and not revolution,—(Cheers.)
A variety of other toasts followed, after which the
meeting broke up.

FOREIGNERS VISITING IRELAND
the callous and spendthrift absentee slights the beauties
of Ireland, it is refreshing to us to hear of the encomiums
pronoinwed by the enlightened tourist upon the character
of its people and its scenery. Of this class of visitors, we
have had in this city, for the last two days, a noble and
accomplished specimen—the Viscount de Motrrat.eta-
REIM lie bad been on a visit at Curraehmore, Knock•
lofty, and on his route to the Lakes (of Killarney) at
Derrinane Abbey, and is said to have expressed himself
far more charmed with the picturesque varieties of our
own westerly wood, water, And mountain, than with any
thing he bad seen of the famed sublimity and beauty of
Switzerland itself. The Viscount passed through this
city about a fortnight ago, and returned within the last
few days. On Monday morning he breakfaited w:th the
Right Rev.. Dr. Kusstu.a, and on the suite day dined at
Ilutler.bouse, with tbe Marquis of Oestexnx. It is a
just. compliment to the distinguished authors of the
!-rales to state, that the Viscount is reported to
have referred his first wish to make the tour of Ireland to
his perusal of these admirable sketches al national
rha-
rector. 73eftwe-his departure from this city fur Carlow,
whither be proceeded- yesterday, lie waited, for the pur-
po*e of paying his reepeets, -.upon Mr. AL

DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL.
REPEAL OF THE UNION.

(Abridged from the Cork Chronicle of Wednesday."
At sewn o'clock list night upwards of 150 gentlemen
~at down to a rtuht sumptuous banquet, given by the citi-
zens of Cork at the imperial lintel to that celebrated in.
divhlual. All the respectability of the city was there or
nearly so, and, if any were absent, it arose solely from
want of accommodalion, the room not bring- capable of
containing, with any comfort, over the above number.—
After the cloth bad been removed,

Fitaucts Brun an BeAssist!, Esq., who presided, pro
posed the usual loyal toasts, after which,
The CHAIRMAN, calling for a high bumper, rose and
said,—Gentlemen, you all know bow O'Connell laboured
fin• you, night after night, in Parliament, and laboured
almost alone. When toiling there for your advantage, how
many of the hundred Members that Ireland sends over to
represent her—how many of them supported him ? The
only one was my friend on my left, Mr. Jephson, Member
for Mallon•.—(Long and loud applause.)—Where were
the rest of the hundred? They were either absent from
the cause of their country, or they were present echoing
the words of the Ministas. Bet, gentlemen (continued
Mr. Beamish), can we expect that others will think of us,
if we do not think of ourselves; can we imagine that the
English will think of us or our interests, when there is nn
one there to speak fur us? It is from here we must send men
to speak for us. And how, too, I ask, can the English
blame us when we call for a repeal of the Union—that
Union which bar. taken moat of our gentry from us, and
almost all oar landed proprietors ?—We must, I say, go
on till we have obtained a repeal of that which- has cost us
a great deal, and gained us nothing, or newt' ran our
country be flourishing or happy.—( Loud cheering.) Once
again, gentlemen, I regret my inability to do justice to
the merit of our honoured guest—hut I will give you—
" O'Connell—and may the people ever stand by him as
he stands by the' people."
After the immense and defeaning cheering, which the
announcement of his name had excited, in some degree
ceased, the Liberator of Ireland arose and spoke asfillows :

.Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—When' I look around
• me and see the happy intelligent faces glowing with en-
thusiasm and burning with love.of country—when I look
around me and perceive the app'auding smile of men,
whose praise it is my inmost duty to deserve—l feel that
I have received a more than reward for the perflermance
of a simple duty, in which my share was indeed small
--(Cries of " No, no)—and that all that could be
wanting to make my happinese complete was 1 con-
sciousness of my own desert.—(Cheers from every part
of the room.) My greatest delight, however, is, that
you concur in souse of my principles—(All,
greatest wish shall be to secure your concurrence in all.—
(Cheeis.) We have been told, indeed, by high, or what the
world i 3 pleased to term high authority—(in rank and
station, I mean)--we have been told, I repeat, that all
Ireland now wanted was repose. Why, in the dominions
of Sultan Selim, the Grand Seignor, there is a perfect re-
pose—a repose like that of the dead—for, wherever the
iron hand of despotism rules the land, and crushes the
opinions, or the expression of the opinions of the people, a
sort of stupid acquiescence is always to he found : but
would those who talk so quietly of repose, tell him dint
real happiness was to he found in Turkey ? No, it was
not : no man could have the hardihood to assert it—and
no man either, I am convinced, will echo the sentiments
of " fat contented ignorance" which were attempted to be
foisted on you a few days bask, by the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. or his private Secretary, " that all you are in
want of is repose."—(blear, hear, hear.)—Will repose re-
peal the Union, and give you back th it self-legislation of
which you were deprived by corruption and profligacy, and
every other species of political delinquency?--(Bear,
hear.)—Will repose repeal the Sub-letting Act, whose
provisions are daily and hourly turning out thous ands
of paupers upon the land ; and devastating the moral
as well as physical energies of the.country ?—(Cheers.)
Will repose obtain the annulment of the iniquitous
Vestry Hill which presses so heavily upon those who are
least able to bear its incubus weight—the very poor—the
utterly wretched peasant ? Gond God ! whist do we want
of repose while such evils exists? Why, it was no Liter
than yesterday that I saw, myself, in a miserable parish
near Mill-street, upwards of 30/. levied—and for what?
to support a church for the immense number of fourteen
Protestants.--(Langliter and cheers.)—ls, I would ails
those quiet poisons who talk so muds of repose-esis re-
pose any remedy for the odious and grinding monopoly of
your beggarly corporation ? Is repose what will destroy
—nay, prevent their iniquitous exactions?—(Bear, hoer.)
—ls repose what will destroy that secret junta which plot
in private againsi your Mardis* and immunities as citizens
—I mean the Friendly Club.....(Lond Criers of No, no.
If they want repose, ler them give u» our rights as mot—
if they wish for calm, let them relieve us from the into-.
lerable burdens which have hitherto (but which shall now
no more,) prostrated our energies at, the feet of our op-
' imagined --no —no greater insult offered to your understandings
pressor'. In truth, there can be no greater impertinence
u
—than to be told by a pampered aristocrat that you want
repose. lie may want it, when he is filled to repletion with
the riches wrung from tho exertions of your country—but
we want it not—we'll have none of it.—(Deafening
cheers. )--No, Gentlemen, the want of Ireland is not repose,
but agitation—quick, spirit stirring and effective Agi-
tation. It is by agitation alone we have succeeded in
wrenching from them what they have already reluctantly
given—it is by agitation alone • that we can ever hope to
obtain any thing like redress. I would wish to know
whether repose will give us a reform in Parliament ; the
Noble Duke of Northumberland, the. great and mighty
Percy himself is a boroughmonger, and he dispose, of his
stews in Cornwall as may best suit Isis own interests.—e
(Cheers.)—Will be tell me, I would ask you, that repuee
will correct that overgrown evil? Will it CUM Abseil-.
teeism,
that curse of poor desol sted Ireland, to be any
longer a name of reproach and degradation and sorrow
to her struggling sons? Will it cause the lordly eristoa
crats drawing immense revenues from the vitals of this
country,
to reside amongst us—and will it cause the rents
of the land to be spent on the land where they are raised ?
Will it give back to the town of Bandon the thriving and
increasing
opulence which it heretofore hail ? Will it turn
again the stream of inland commerce into her now nearly
emptied streets? No, gentlemen, maintain it,—
fearlessly and openly maintain it—that it is not repose
which Ireland now requires—but agitation.—(lmmense
cheering. )—When I spoke of the Union twelve months
ago, I was called a dreamer—nye, a dreamer—if my edge
instieers then had Witnessed the exhibition of popular
feeling on that topic which I witnessed myself in Tralee a
short time since, they would, perhaps, change their note.
Then the thousands which surrounded me were unanimous
in their disapprobation of that iniquitous measure—then
their respondent shouts, when the question of its dissolution
wail 1 once mooted, made the very heavens ring again.
I do not make this statement on my own authority,
thought even if I did, I do not think you will believe me
the less. I had a witness in my honourable and excellent
young friend, the member fur Mallow, who accompanied
me into your city, and who now graCes your board on the
left of the worthy Chairman. IVlnit does that prove ?
What is to be inferred from these demonstrations of public
opinion. The answer is obvious—the people feel it, as the
only mode by which the enormous grievances with which
they are beset can be disposed ; and we, gentlemen, if we
were ever so well inclined otherwise, must only follow
what it has ever been toted vain to contend with—the
deep strong current of public opinion. Yes, nay friends, it
is equallvain to argue on the point as to deny it. No
country Is well governed that is not self-governed ; no na-
tion is well ruled that rules not itself. 'flue Imperial Pare
liament is not fit to govern you,. they do not represent you
equably; they have no sympathy with your wants or your
wishes. The present Pediment has not been tried sa yet. It
is not therefore fair to condemn it. We shell say nothing on
it at present, though I must own I have my own misgiv-
ings. But the practise of the last was for the Solicitor.
General, Or route other inferior government saver con'
nected with this country, to bring a perssel of Bills relating Ireland' et four o'clock in the morning,

then concluded his eloquent speech amidst the most en.

After he bad sat down some time,

Mr. O'Cooot.t.r. again rose, and after some jnoly
meri►ed compliments, on the Deamish family, gave " The
Chairman."

Mr. iltAmtsu returned thanks,

The CHAIRMAN next gave "Lord Anglettea, who
scorned Court favour when incompatible with the rights
of the people."
Mr. O'Cootene being 1 filly celled upon to speak to
the toast, rose and pronounced a &Wing. eulegiunt upon
the chivalrous and high-minded Anglesea, which was re•
ceived with loud plaudits.
The CHAIRMAN then called fore high bumper,' and saita
he would give 'a tout congenial to the heart of every
Irishman who wished well to his country—it wart
44 The health of Denham' 0. Jephson and the Inde-
pendent Electors of Mallow."
Mr. JETIISON, after returning thanks, said, that since
the passing of the Relief Bill, a party favourable to the
people of Ireland was daily increasing in Parliament—and
he could not help expressing his sincere regret that the
question of the repeal ,of the Union had been introduced,
for he feared it would be the means of separating this
party from us—he was decidedly eppoted to the repeal of
the Union-.(Very general murmurs of disapprobation)—
amid which Mr. Jephson continued to say that he would
not deserve the opinion with which they had honoured
him—if he did net speak out boldly his sentiments even at
the risk ofsecrificiog his popularity; but he dill not think
the repeal would be at all useful at r resent. In his opinion
the repeal was synonymous with an abadiste and lade-
pendent Government.---(Cries of No, no.")—He cons
tended that it should come to that; and he asked would
the British Parliament ever content to such a measure—
even if the 100 Irish Members were unanimous, would the
.554 Eng'ish Members ever consent to what would bestial
a disadvantage to England ; or if balanced in the Com Mons,
what chance was there of its passing in the Lords. As for
the bond of the dynasty, the whim of the people might in a
moment sever such a bond. Mr. Jetthson instanced the
proceedings of 1789, -and next alluding to absenteeism,
said, fur his part he did not see how the repeal would rule
that grievance; but if some means of doing so without a
repeal of the Union were suggested, he was sure an Eng.
lisp Parliament could easily be got to join in effecting it.
With regard to their manufactures, he did not see how
they either would he benefited by it. Why had they not
flourished hitherto ?—because the English were able to
manufacture cheaper, and the Irish, therefore, bought their
goods where they could procure them cheapest ; and be
would ask them if the repeal was to take Owe to-morrow,
would they not still continue to purchase from England ?
Mr. Jephson next alluded to the restrictive laws, and asked
if they protected their manufactures, wont(' not England
follow their example, and withdraw her protection from
your corn?—Would you then send it to Belgium? would
you send your beef to South America ? For his own part,
he did not want the poetry of patriotism--he would wish
to see happy faces—he would certainly look for an equality
with England, rind, perhaps, in time, even a superiority
over her—but he would not hurry things, till then. He
wished Ireland to be to England us lancalltire was to
Yorkshire. Mr. Jepheon concluded by regretting that
circumstances had placed bun in a situation so dissonant
from the feelings of molt in the room, hut he would only
say, that he would, for his own part, he as ready as any
man in the kingdom to sacrifice himself fur the good of
his country, hut be could not comprehend how the Inca-
sure spoken of could in any Way benefit her.
The next toast from the chair was, " The Represen-
tation of the People in Parliament, unshackled by Corpo-
rations and Boraughmongers."
Mr. It. Itoscaveu spoke to this toast at consider-
able length. AVlien Mr. Itonlyne sat down—
The CHAIRMAN rose, • and callinz for a bumper, gave
—" The Repeal of the Union." The cheering that fol-
lowed the announcement of this toast was actually deafen-
ing—it was drank amid the clapping of hands, waving of
handkerchiefs, anti every demonstration of the most ar-
dent and concentrated enthotiesm. On silencer being re-
stored, which was not till after a considerable time bad
elapsed—.
Mr. O'Corettata. rose, and spoke nearly as fallowe
Never havel been more indebted to the member for Mal-
low—never have the people been more indebted to hint.
At the most trying moment of my life I was indebted to
him,.--but never more than 1 have been to-night. As
the influence--the weight—and the power of the treasury
trenches could not awe him into a concealment of his nen •
timente, so, neither could the blandishmenta of popular
favour, of which he has drank deep, awl may he long con-
tinue to do so, induce him to speak differently from what
he thought was right. Every tardy knows his talents,
his research, his deep learning, and his eloquence—every
thing he could say that would give weight to his own
view of the question, he has said, bet I now ask you has
his research, his intellect, or his eloquence ken able to in-
stance one single advantage that England has been to Ire-
hold—hut he has, on the contrary, proved that England
has derived from her the greatest benefits, He thinks
that if the .measure be persisted in, it will end in a
War. 1 thick not.. It is a matter of prophecy with
regard to the future—diut of proof with regard to the
past. For the time that Ireland had seventy thousand
volunteers with arms in their hands, did she attempt to
throw off England ? She did not. I am not 4 York-
shireman or a Lancashireman, but an Irishman—and as
such I feel towards my country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jephrion
has told you the five hundred and fifty-five Members wily
not hear of a repeal—that they will not give up their hold
on us. Why? Because they know well at which aide of
the ledger the balance is.—(Lonti cheers.) AL.. Jepluson
has spoken of the Hone of Lords never agreeing to a re-
peal. I myself saw a majority of 40 or them against
granting emancipation to the Catholics—hut a whisper
was heard on the mountains of Ireland; where then was
their majority ? They wheeled about and the Catholics of
Ireland were free. Mr. O'Connell then alluded to Bel-
gium. He spoke of the conduct of the Belgians, not us
an example that he would have imit tted, for that nu hu-
man being's blood should be on his head ; but he thought
the lesson would not be thrown away on the 555. He
commented on the federal Union ratite States of America,
and of the state of prosperity they were in since they had
obtained a Government of their own. Mr. O'Connell
then proceed -to refute all Mr. Jephson's arguments, with
regard to the disposal of Irish manufacture* in case of a
repeal being granted, which he did in the most complete
manner. Ile then, speaking of ahsenteeistn, said, that if
the Union were repealed, be would impose a tax of 15
per cent. on absenteers—that there was a precedent in the
English laws, in the reign of Edward 111., which pre-
vented a man having an estate in England sod another in
France at the same time.

Doctor BaLnwtrt proposed "The Independent Electors
of the City of Cork," amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Ws.Lail spoke to this toast with much effect.
" Tha liberty of the Press."
Mr. lIENNEssv spoke briefly to this toast.
" The French and Belgians, and may the glorious
cause se successfully asserted by them, trtumph all over
the world." . _ _

Mr. MAncet. (a French gentleman) spoke to this.
After returning thanks for these people, he concluded, by
saying, that they had done their duty, and that liberty
expected the 'men of every other nation would do their
duty Alen.
The CitAIRMAN proposed the health of their worthy
and patriotic Vice-President, " James Ludlow Stawell,

The CfaticstAw proposed the toast of " General La 4

Mr. OsCoxseLL spoke to this at length. there were
