The recepti',An
.I\lr. O'Connell by his frieti~l~ wt
Notthigham, on Monday, t.ven very grati-
fying to that perfeet p:'.Afiot. The account of it,
which is ty the special reporter of the Courier,
is trritt.'en in a style of eloquence which
of the occasion and of the math We learn that the
principal street., at an carly hour, " were strewed here
and there with knots of the townfolk and coUntry
people," from which we conclude that the affection of

. .
the Hon. Member's admirers must have exhibited itself
over night in a sort of prefatory joviality. We are as-
sured that the multitude, between eight and nine o'clock
"repaired to the appointed gathering place, determined
that the procession, which had been previously
orga-
nised, should leave Nottingham in sufficient time;"
whence we perceive how vain it is to resist the pleasure
of a multitude, which, for the accomplishment of its
mighty purposes, will actually leave its bed before
nine of the clock on an April morning. We are
told that " a very general topic of conversation
was the mortification which the fine weather must
inflict on the Tories," from which we suppose we must
understand either that the Conservatives have been
speculating deeply in umbrellas, or that the Radicals
were much at a loss for topics of conversation. The
lovers of classical reminiscences will be delighted to
hear that the barouche which was prepared for the
hero of the day's festival, was ornamented with various
evergreens, " so as to impart to it very much of the
shape and appearance of the triumphal cars in which
the Roman conquerors were borne, in celebration of
their victories; and those who have been disposed to
find fault with the appointments of their subordinates
by the new Radical town councils will be pleased to
learn that on this occasion their postillions at least were
" appointed with extreme neatness." We must beg
our readers to study the report for themselves.
No extracts can do it justice. Nevertheless, in
fairness to the respectable gentlemen who, in the
presence of " elegantly dressed ladies, among whom
we discovered Mrs. O'Connell and Mrs. Howitt, the
celebrated poetess," sate down to the banquet, we must
be allowed to quote the consolatory assurance which is
contained in the following paragraph :—" The dinner
was served up in a style which exhibited abundance
and excellence, without extravagance. Soups, fish,
and a variety of meats, the latter cold, but prepared
with the utmost care, together with an ample supply
of fruits, jellies, and pastry, constituted the repast.
The wines, which were of the best vintage, constituted
an additional charge ; and the quantity used by each
gentleman was thus regulated according to his own
wishes." We confess we are a little puzzled here. We
do not comprehend how the additional charge made for
'the wines can have induced the guests to regulate the
use of them according to their own wishes. We
strongly suspect that the " wishes" would have had a
more absolute sway if nothing had been said about
that " additional charge." However, what the
" wishes" of the company were we learn from the
statement which follows :—" Throughout the entire
entertainment wine appeared to be freely drank in
every quarter." Prodigious ! ! There is nothing
very new and nothing very brilliant in the speeches
delivered by Mr. O'Connell over the balcony in the
morning, and over the bottle in the evening. He pro-
nounced his last new profession of political faith ;
" I am a Radical "—" I am a decided advocate for
universal suffrage"—" I am also an advocate for vote
by ballot"—" I am also an advocate for short Par-

liaments "—" I am for letting every man pay his own
parson." And he proceeded to pronounce his last new
profession of political fealty :—" I am deeply impressed
with the determination to make friends for the present
Government." Of course no man is surprised in
these strange times to find Mr. O'Connell, the ad-
vocate of universal suffrage, the advocate of the bal,

_ - °am I. age, 1,11,
lot, the advocate of short Parliaments, the advocate
of the voluntary system, lauding the present Go-
vernment, by whom universal suffrage is dreaded,
by whom the ballot is abhorred, by whom short
Parliaments are abandoned, by whom the voluntary
system is repudiated. We doubt, however, whether
these sentiments of the Learned Gentleman will be at

together palateable to all the Learned Gentleman's
adherents. The pressure from without is useful to
them. They will not patiently become " Mandarin
Members." If the Government, the whole Govern-
ment, and nothing but the Government, is to be the
cry, their occupation's gone. If universal suffrage is
to be shelved—.if ballot is to be swamped—if short
Parliaments are to be silenced—if the voluntary sys-

tern is to be gagged—itheir stock in trade is gone. We
advise Mr. O'Connell, therefore, ere he teach so au-

thoritatively at another banquet, that his Majesty's
Government must be supported, to see how many of
his Baldwins and his Barrons, his Finns and his Fitz-
simons, he may chance to be addressing ; or as Juvenal
says of the fish, ,
