MR. O'CONNELL AND MR. LEYNE.

(From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.)
Three o'Clock.,—This day Mr. 1. O'Gorman Mahon de-
livered a message from Mr. Maurice O'Connell to Mr.
Leyne. The friend of Mr. O'Connell, jun., and Mr. Payne,
the friend of Mr. Leyne, had several interviews together, but
before three o'clock Mr. Leyne declined to meet Mr. O'Con-
nell, jun. The two young Mr. O'Connell's then proceeded to
the Four Courts, in the hall of which Mr. Leyne was walk.
ing, accompanied by his brother, Captain Leyne, Mr. Twigs,
and several other friends. The crowd pas Sing by immediately
recognized the Messrs. O'Connell, and the intimation of their
being outside in the court-yard was immediately conveyed to
Mr. Leyne and his party. Mr. Leyne .immediately withdrew
to one of the chambers, adjoining the Admiralty Court, where
he at present remains. Two peace-officers were in the hall of
the Four Courts, and at the hour of three o'clock, Mr. Sheriff
Moore, accompanied by Mr. Long, the police magistrate, pro-,
ceeded in much haste down to the Hall, in order to arrest Mr.
O'Gorman Mahon, and the two Alr. (normals ; but Mr.
O'Gorman Mahon and Mr. Maurice O'Connell had driven off
before their arrival in a hackney-coach.
Four o'Clock.—Six horse police are now gone down to dis-
perse the great crowd at the Four Courts, and Mr. Leyne has
been escorted home by Mr. Studdert, the police magistrate.
( From the Dahlia Correspondent, Dec. 3.)
Four o'Clock.—We stop the Press to inform our readers,
that this moment Mr. Leyne has passed our Office in a coach,
attended by a guard of Police, ordered by the proper authori-
ties to protect him from the sanguinary violence of a ferocious
rabble, who had assembled round the Four Courts, to aid and
assift, if necessary, Mr. O'Connell, junior, who, we have
been credibly informed, was in waiting to horsewhip that re.
spectable Gentleman, whilst the mob loudly expressed their de-
termination to tear him in pieces for having deserted the Church
of Home. Emancipate these attached friends of civil and reli-
gious liberty by all means !

Irswrcu, DEC. 6.--The anniversary of the
festival of St. Andrew was celebrated here on Wednesday
last, by the detachment of Scots Greys in the barracks,
and the novelty of the sight drew many persons toge-
ther. A Highlander in proper costione, with his clay-
more and target, preceded the titular Saint of Scotland,
who was mounted upon a grey charger led by two Highland-
ers, holding a roll in his right hand. his cap and venerable
beard overshadowed his face, and the hoary Saint seemed bow-
ed down by the weight of years ; he was personated, we
understand, by the oldest man in the regiment. The men
followed in regular order, wearing the Highland bonnet, and
preceded by the band of the East Suffolk Militia, paraded
various parts of the town. They afterwards took refreshments
at the Waggon and Horses Inn. The bells of some of the
churches rang a merry peal, and the fete was concluded with
that order and decorum which form such a distinguished trait
of Scottish character.
We have seen a letter written from a native of
this town, who accompanies Major CLAPPERTON
ou
his perilous expedition to Africa. It states that
the Brazen reached Teneriffe on the 14th of Sept.
and was to sail on the 18th far Sierra Leoue,
and not, as has been erroneously stated, to pro-
ceed direict for the Bight of Benin. At that pe-
riod Major Clapperton and his adventurous com-
panions were all in good health and spirits, in the
full hope that they should be able to accomplish
the important object committed to their charge,
and solve the geographical problem in which the
source and course of the river Nigre has been for
ages involved.—(Cornwall Gazette.)
