MR. JOHN LAWLESS.

This gentleman; who for many years has occupied so
large a space in the public view as connected with the poli-
tics of Ireland, has terminated his earthly career. He
was taken ill on Saturday last, and died yesterday, at twenty
minutes past twelve, at his lodgings in Cecil-street. Mr.
Lawless was at all times a most energetic and uncompro
mining advocate of his principles, which were of a de-
cidedly Liberal character.
Having received a liberal education, Lis inclination led
Trim to seek the legal profession, but his early connexion with
Robert Ertmitt, Thomas Moore, &e., induced Lord Clare,
the then Chancellor of Ireland, to reject him. lle.then
became a partner with his father, a brewer in Dublin ; but
that pursuit not answering his expectations, and his attach-
ment to literature and politics still holding -the ascendancy,
he was induced to take a share in the Ulster Recorder,
published at Newry. Mr. Lawless, as a political writer.
was held in the highest estimation in that town ;
by
his writings he contributed to infuse a new and enlightened
Spirit into the province of Ulster. He was soon afterwards
invited to Belfast, the Athens of Ireland, as he used to
call it ; 1e there published a periodical, the Ulster Rejste
and afterwards the Irishman, which had a very extensive cir-
culation. He was during many years a leading political
character with the Liberal party in Belfast ; his public spirit,
consistency, eloquence, and patriotism, rendered most essen-
tial service to the cause of independence. Even the Orange
party gave him credit for unflinching integrity, and he was
consequently honoured by all with the title of " Honest.
Jack Lawless." During the sittings of the Catholic As-
sociation, Mr. Lawless was a leading member, always
contending for the liberties of the people. His admirable
defence of the rights of the forty-shilling freeholders, and
his denunciation of the pensioning of the clergy in 1825
and 1826, raised him high in the estimation of the English
and Irish Radicals. His excursion to Ballibay in 1828, ac-
companied by two hundred thousand men determined to be
free, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel admitted
was the first feature in their expediency question of Catholic
emancipation, and was most instrumental in ensuring its
success. When justice was afterwards refused to Ireland
by the Tory Lords, Mr. Lawless was one of the most ac-
tive agitators of the National Association, and he made his
last speech at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on Monday
eight days, in support of Mr. Hume's claims to the represen-
tation of Middlesex. His remains will, no doubt, be re-
moved to Ireland for interment. The people of Dublin,
nay, of all Ireland, will show their gratitude by giving
him the honour di Public funeral, which his virtues and
patriotism so well merii..---Morning Advertiser.
