'no public vote of thanks has been, to my know-

'is e'ountry, yet I can safely say that the surprise and admi-
ori excited here yesterday, on reading, for the first time, in
The Sun of Thursday, a full account of the reception and en-
ftertainment given to O'Connell in Liverpool on Wednesday,
ery much resembled a feeling of congratulation and gratitude
to the authors of enterprize so univemally agreeable. It is
indeed a fact, not less deserving of 'notice than creditable to
those who aid in the diffusion of useful knowledge, that this
important manifestation of Enr,;iish sympathy, for the improve-
ment of Ireland, has been m'dde known to the most remote parts
oR this country, as early 1"-'y your journal as by any of the other
anodes of communicatirn from England, so anxiously looked
for within the last few days, or by the Dublin journals them-
rselves. The Lkerpoo/packet did not arrive here time enough
Tay flied., to enable the Morning Papers of yesterday
° give the arcount mentioned. But in the course of yester-
dayd the Holyhead packet got in, bringing The Sun of Thurs- 1

ioymation. This circumstance, associated with the recollection

,reks'ger of good news and g•ood advice, entitles you to the
of all those Irishmr.zn, who at this moment feel more

.er, of diffusilig this important knowledge are secondary to
rale consideration of the knowledge itself ; for it never before
appeared so evidently to the people of Ireland, that they have
an interest common with Englishmen, as on the present occa-
sion.
