ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION OF MR.
O'CONNELL IN HULL.

On Wednesday morning, Mr. O'Connell arrived with a
party of gentlemen who had proceeded from Hull to Brigg
to meet him, at Barton Waterside to breakfast, and imme-
diately after crossed over the ferry to Hessle, where he was
met by Colonel Thompson and other friends. The cheers
along the road as the carriage drove up were most enthu-
siastic. At the Old Jail Yard a spacious and most conve-
nient covered hustings was erected from which Mr. O'Con-
nell was to address the people. The number of persons
present could not be less than 8,000.
Colonel THOMPSON came in front of the hustings, and,
after the loud cheers with which he was greeted had sub-
sided, he said—l come to bring you the representative of
that country we all know—that we all love—little Ireland.
—(Cheers.) You are men whose practice it has not been
to stay at home ; you have seen the world ; there is not a
corner of it where a Hull man will not to be found. Did
you ever see Ireland desert you ?—(" No," and cheers.)
And that being the case will you desert Ireland ?—(Cheers.)
Let me put to you a case. Here are twenty-millions of
us, English and Scotch, and seven millions of Irishmen.
[Mr. O'Connell, " Eight millions."] Yet they would per-
suade us to make those seven millions our enemies instead
of friends, and so draw seven backwards and twenty for-
wards. Is that wisdom ? Have we not more knowledge
as Yorkshiremen than to talk of doing that ?—(Cheers.)
You know perfectly well that I am sprung from the new re-
ligion. I come from that sect called Methodists. Let me
beg of you that there may be religious peace in this coun-
try ; can we gain anything by being at war with each other ?
If you ever loved me give a long cheer for Ireland's repre-
sentative when he shows himself.—(Enthusiastic and con-
tinued cheering.) I now do the best thing I ever did in
my life—introduce the firmest friend of civil and religious
liberty—the friend of all liberty—to my townspeople of
Hull.—(Continued cheers.)

Mr. O'CONNELL then came forward, and was received
with general and most hearty cheers. He said, this is the
first time that, in the course of my variegated life, I have
had the honour to address a meeting of Yorkshiremen. I
don't know how you like the Irish accent—(Laughter)—
but I like the honest tone of Yorkshiremen exceedingly,
and I have good right to like it, for Yorkshire gave birth
to, and sends to Parliament, an excellent friend to Ireland,
Lord Morpeth—(Cheers)—and Yorkshire gave birth to
another man who is a benefactor of Ireland, Lord Mul-
grave, our Lord Lieutenant.—(Cheers.) I feel for York-
shiremen as my brothers, and I feel a deep debt of gratitude
to the inhabitants of Hull especially, for the honest men
they have sent to fight the battle of England and Ireland in
Parliament—(Loud cheers)—for your honest and talented
Representatives. I am a Radical Reformer.--(Cheers.)
lam a true Reformer. Wherever an abuse exists lam
for pulling it out gently and .getting rid of it. I am for
short Parliaments_; because short accounts make long
friends.—(Cheers and laughter.) I am for the vote by
ballot ; because when a man votes by ballot the vote is his
own. I am for universal suffrage ; I do not know why there
should be a distinction between one Englishman and another;
they are all equal in the sight of God. They are born in
the same naked infancy, and go out of the world in the same
naked inanity. While I respect the gradations of society, I
insist that every man who bears the mark of character in a
moral light, shall be equal to his fellow-man.—(Cheers.) I
have been in Parliament seven years—l have now served my
apprenticeship to it. We keep bad hours there, and some-
times bad company into the bargain, which is still worse.—
(Laughter.) Now that I am getting out of my time, I come
and ask my masters, the people in every part of the British
empire—is there one vote of mine that went to increase the
burdens, or to diminish the franchise of the people of Eng-
land, Ireland, or Scotland, I care not, which ?—(No, and
cheers.) Never. These are my claims to be heard, and
what do I want to be heard for ? To combine all the Re-
formers of Great Britain in one phalanx—to combine and
rally round his Majesty's Ministers—to combine for the se-
curity of the Throne—but, above all, for the good of the
people—(Cheers)—for God forbid that any Throne should
ever be secure which is not based upon the good of the
people. lam for going on securely and safely, so that none
of the Institutions of this country shall be violated or out-
raged, but that England shall arrive at that level of perfect
and rational freedom, exemption from 'burdens, and cheap
administration of law and goverhment that may place her
again, where in every page of the history of the world she
has ever been, first among the nations of the earth, and really
the envy and admiration of the created world.—(Cheers.)
What flag that ever waved over the sea dared to meet the
meteor flag of England in equal battle, or the moss., fearful
odds? What army ever met embattled England upon an
equality, that England did not triumph and the enemy
shrink from her ? The meteor flag of England has waved
triumphant for one thousand years—and remember, my
friends, that the shout of victory was never raised from British
decks, and that the flag of England was never carried forward

_
J, puu
in the midst of battle, that the commingling blood of Ire-
land did not mix in the stream that floated the ark of British
glory to victory. lam going upon a mission—l am ap-
pealing to Englishmen. My friend Colonel Thompson said
you are 20 millions and we are seven—l must beg his
pardon, and put another to it—we are eight millions. See
how the English Reformers have gained by joining together.
Let me tell you, men of Hull, that be who says the Whigs
and Radicals ought to differ is not a sensible man, though
he may be an honest one. The Whigs are going on well—
a sort of " Very well I thank you"—(Laughter)—not so
far as us Radicals wish, but they are going on safely ; and
I ask every honest Radical like myself to assist me in
keeping the Tories out of power for 12 months, and by that
time every honest Tory will have become a Reformer, and
we shall be united for the abolition of every unjust tax, and
for every desirable change. Well, then, men of Hull,
why should not I appeal for Ireland ? What do 1 want?
I tell you ; I want JUSTICE.—(Cheers.) Is there any
man would hold up his hand against justice for Ireland ?.
Is there any WILL hold up his hand for justice to Ireland ?
—(Here, so far as could be seen, every hand in the vast
assembly was uplifted, and loud cheers followed the ener-
getic appeal of Mr. O'Connell.) Why, I believe in that
cause you seem to have five or six hands a piece.—
(Laughter.) Well, from my heart I thank you. I will
have justice for Ireland—l want the people of England to
join me, that the House of Lords shall give justice to Ireland
—the House of ,Commons are ready to concede it.—

(Hear, hear.) Four great measures are now passing or
have passed the House of Commons—they tell me the
Lords are to prevent them—why should you let them do
that ? True, you have not direct controul over them yet,
—I hop& the time will come when they will be elected as
the Commons are-4 Loud cheering)--for that is common-
sense, and it is an article that always thrives in England.—
(Cheers and laughter.) I need not enter into the details
of the measures to which I have alluded. I will mention
one. One relates to a subject which cannot be approached
but with reverence, and should be touched with extreme

delicacy—it relates to religion—it is the Bill to apply the
surplus revenues of the Protestant Church in Ireland to
education. No subject has had greater falsehood and ca-
lumny cast upon it, or been more misrepresented than that.
It is said we Catholics want an ascendancy of our own. I
tell you what, and I speak in the presence of that God who
will judge me for an eternity of weal or woe—l not only do
not want it ; but if you were fools enough to give it me, I
would not take it. There is the Bill for Municipal Re-
form. Now mark me, my friends, Scotland has got Mu-
nicipal Reform ; I am delighted at it. England has got
Municipal Reform. I delight from my heart that she has.
What do they say? They wont give it to Ireland. I ask
you Englishmen is that just ?—(Shame.) I tell you this—
we Irishmen are men like you—we want to be your bro-
thers—we deserve to be no less—and we wont bear it either.
—Now, my friends, is it not delightful to see such a Par-
liament as we at present have—every man must admit
that the majority of the House of Commons have no
object in view %but to do all the good they possibly can
to the people.—(Cheers.) Hence is the Municipal Reform
and the creation of Magistrates—l should think you have
as good a set of Magistrates now as before.—(" No" and
" Yes.") I believe in other towns they are a good deal
better since the Municipal Reform Bill. We are struggling
every clay to diminish the load of taxation, and if the pre-
sent government stands two years longer, I have no doubt
we shall reduce it in such a way that we shall begin to live
to see the day when the Tory debt, that hangs over this
country as an incubus, taking from Englishmen more money
than ever was given to a Government since the world was
created—we will see that diminished, and live to hail the
day when the patriotic spirit shall triumph in England as in
America—when direct taxation shall totally cease—when
the poor shall cease to pay anything to the state, leaving to
the rich the burden of taxation. For that we are struggling,
and for that you have sent two honest men. How I thank
you for havini, done it. When I saw your industry and ac-
tivity—when I came into your town and saw this forest of
shipping—l remembered that there are splendid harbours
5 throno-e in number along the coast of Ireland—we have some
of the first harbours in the world, accessible at every hour of
every tide, sheltered from every wind that blows, open to the
mighty Atlantic, without a sunken rock or any danger—
fitted in every way for commerce. When I saw that forest
of masts, I said to Colonel Thompson, by me—" They ask
me what we want for Ireland. I tell yoe : I want to see
our harbours with such a forest of masts as you have in the
port of Hull." Will that do harm to Hull? No, because
the more commerce there is in one place, the more there
will be in another—the carrying on commerce with facility
and dispatch causes its augmentation. It is like a country-
man of mine who fell in love with a young lady who had a
large fortune. He said, " I'll increase her fortune by shar-
intgtibtaltviktiilnah.er."T—h(eLraeup:rt of the Poor

is just published. It states there arc five hundred thou-
sand h in Ireland.—{Strong sensation.) Every six-

teenth haman being is a person destitute of property. I
should be base indeed if•l d►d not throw myself upon the
generosity of the people of England to assist me to elevate
the people of Ireland to their natural state.—(Loud and
long-continued cheering.) Ay, that is an honest English
shout. There is a spirit in that voice which glads
(Rapturous cheering and waving of hats, which continued
some time.)
Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Colonel Thompson and
several friends, then left the ground, and were escorted on
foot to the Kingston Hotel by a very large concourse of
people.

DINNER TO THE MEMBERS FOR THE BOROUGH.
(Abridged from the Hull Advertiser of Friday)
The dinner announced to be given to the excellent and
patriotic Members for this borough, took place in the
Public Rooms, on Wednesday, and proved one of the
greatest treats and highest triumphs which the Reformers
in this part of the country have ever experienced. We
believe that there never was so numerous or more respect-
able a political dinner given in this town. Shortly before
five o'clock the Mayor of the borough (J. C. Parker, Esq.),
took the chair, having on his right W. Hutt, Esq., M. p,,
D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., John Grimston, Esq., (of Nes-
wick), Jos. Sykes, Esq., (of Kirkella), Richard Sykes, Esq.,
&c. &c. ; on his left were Col. Thompson, M.P., John
Gully, Esq., M.P., C. F. Barkley, Esq. (the liberal candi-
date for York), the Hon. Mr. Stapleton, &c. Among the
company we observed the Master Cutler of Sheffield, seve-
ral Reformers from Holderness, Beverley, North Lincoln-
shire, Bradford, Dewsbury, Pontefract, &c. Mr. Gresham
and Mr. John Lovitt officiated as Vice-Presidents. The
number of persons who sat down to dinner was about 430.
The cloth being removed,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of our good and
gracious King. Long life and happiness to him ; and may
he reign in the affections of his subjects, loving and be-
loved." The toast was received with three times three
hearty cheers, followed by loud applause—the organ playing
" God save the King."
" The Queen." This toast was received in respectful
silence.

" The Princess Victoria, and the rest of the Royal
Family." The mention of the name of the Princess was
received with thunders of applause, and her health was
most enthusiastically drank with full honours. Air—
" Rule Britannia."

The CHAIRMAN, in naming the -next toast, " His Ma-
jesty's Ministers," was unable for some time to proceed, on
account of the repeated plaudits. The toast was drank
with three times three, and repeated rounds of applause.
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I have pleasure in pro-
posing to you " The Healths of Mr. Hutt and Colonel
Thompson, our worthy Representatives." Three times
three cheers, and one cheer more.

Mr. HUTT rose. I cannot cast my eye around this splen-
did room, and see on my left hand the Mayor—the free
chosen Mayor.—(A burst of loud cheering, which pre-
vented our hearing the remainder of the sentence). I can-
not now recognise in this room, I believe I may say, al-
most all the municipal and magisterial authorities of this
town—(Continued cheering)—l cannot contemplate this
scene without a feeling of exultation in the remembrance
of the vast strides which good government has made
amongst us since I last had the honour of addressing you.
—(Loud cheers.) Gentleman, we all, lam sure, remem-
ber the frantic denunciations which the Tory party dealt
out to the people of Great Britain and of Ireland, when
Lord Grey first introduced the Reform Bill. This is the
fourth year since the Reform Bill passed, and where is the
revolution? Gentlemen, you and I are well aware that in
this country it would be a very easy thing to do a vast deal
of mischief, but I trust that in the course we have adopted
we have pointed out not the path to mischief, but the
means of escape from it.—(Cheers.) Before the Parlia-
ment shall be again released from its duties and its la-
bours, two questions must be decided by it of the great-
est possible importance, not merely to the Ministers who
have once before submitted them to its decision, but to
the people of Ireland, and I will say to civilized man
in every kingdom of the globe.—(Loud cheers.) These
questions perhaps appear to have no immediate connection
—the Irish Municipal Bill and the Bill for the settlement
of the Irish tithes ; but, Gentlemen, I tell you that both of
these Bills involve the same question—whether Ireland is to
be treated as an integral portion of the united kingdom,
possessing the same right with England and Scotland to
just government, or whether it is to be handed over to an
intolerant faCtion, to be kept in subjection under its feet as
long as the English inhabitants will keep it there. I say
let us not go to sleep at our posts. Now is the great time
for the exertions of the people of England. I rejoice at
the prospect of such a meeting as this—it delights my heart
to see assembled here Reformers of every shade, who are
determined to:forget their little differences, and stand up as
one man against the common enemy.—(Loud cheers.) Yes,
gentlemen, they know their enemy—they stand up for them-
selves—for their own rights—and I am sure that if meet-
ings such as this could be assembled in all the large towns
of this empire, that the cause in which we are all engaged
must be triumphant—triumphant equally against a vast ma-
jority of the House of Lords—against the intrigues of the
Court--against all the influence of the despots of the con-
tinent.—(Loud cheers.)—[The Honourable Member then
resumed his seat, on which the company simultaneously
rose and enthusiastically cheered him for some time.]
Colonel TnomrsoN next rose, and was most heartily
greeted. I suppose it is to the honour of having been born
your townsman that I must attribute the being requested to
propose the toast that follows. Truly may I say what am
I, and what my father's house, that it should have fallen
upon me a second time in this my native town to introduce
so important a subject—so weighty a question—as the pa-
cification of two vast countries which ought to have been
bound together in everlasting love—which have too long
been separated by religious differences, and of which we now
see the herald of peace in our camp.—(A burst of cheer-
ing, which continued some time.) Need I say with what
happiness we receive him? Need I say how much we
thank him—how much vie feel honoured by his presence ?
What a weight is upon him—upon his head rests the whole
weight of a nation's feelings.—(Tremendous cheers.) You
will bear with me in saying that simple justice is all that is
demanded for Ireland, and we can give one reason why she
shall have it—it is this, that the just and honest people of
England will not permit her to be contented with the con-
trary.—(Long-continued cheering.) Gentlemen, I give you
" Mr. O'Connell, and justice to Ireland."—(Loud cheer-
ing for some time.)
Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose, but it was some minutes be-
fore he could gain a hearing, owing to the enthsiastic
cheers which greeted him, followed by cheers for Ireland.
At length silence was restored, and he prccceded as fol-
lows :—lt was no pitiful personal gratification for anything
that belongs to me personally ; it was no paltry and pitiful
gratification that brought me from the remotest part, not
only of England, but where the unbroken wave, from the
coast of Labrador, washes my native mountains of Kerry.
I come amongst you, Englishmen, and ask you to obtain
me justice.—(Tremendous cheers.) I come to ask you for
that which no man ever asked in vain of Englishnien—jus-
tice.—(Cheers.) Fair play for old Ireland I say.—(Con-
tinued cheering.) We are eight millions ; and eight mil-
lions of men have power of endeavouring to right them-
selves. I found that in the discussion of the repeal I had
roused English attention to the subject of Ireland's griev-
ances—l received from those Englishmen that stood by my
side, when we were battling the fell Coercion Bill—and
,
that was the first vote believe your excellent representa-
tive, Mr. Hutt, ever gave—(Cheers)—l found those men
who were ready themselves to do us justice repugnant to
the notion of repeal. I found English sentiment begin-
ning to be aroused, and I went back to Ireland,
and said the English people will help you to justice
if you authorize me to give up the agitation of the
repeal, provided you obtain that justice.—(Loud cheers.)
I traversed three provinces, and came not back to Eng-
land till I had ascertained how I could pledge myself for
the Irish people. I came back'with the fullest pledge ever
given by man, that every notion of a difference of legisla-
ture in either country should cease the moment they ob-
tained equalization of rights with the people of England.—
(Cheers.) Parliament has determined to do Ireland jus-
tice, and two bills for applying the surplus of the Church
revenues to the education of the poor of Ireland, and for
Municipal Reform—one has already passed the House of
Commons ; the other passed last year, and is certain to do
so again this, and here we are stopped by the impediments
thrown against us. The position in which I address you
is one in which these measures have passed, I may say, the
House of Commons ; and what is my object in coming
amongst you ? To ask you to assist me in carrying them
through the House of Lords. We have but one chance,
and that is the exhibition of such a sentiment in England
as to make the Lords believe it is their interest to pass
both these measures. In itself an irresponsible branch of
legislature is a great mischief—it is a solecism in national
government that a man should refuse to do good, and to do
as much mischief as he thinks fit—that is a state in which
a sensible and rational people ought not to continue to
exist. But, for my part, I am not one of those who de-
sire organic changes unnecessarily. Ido not want reform
in the House of Lords, if the Lords do not drive the peo-
ple to desire that reform. They shall be the cause of
that reform themselves. I come among vou to ask if they
are not upon their trial? You wish that justice should be
done to Ireland. All good men desire it. Why is it not
to be done ? Because the Lords say it shall not. Is that
to be endured—or does it not come trumpet-tongued in
England that a reform in the Lords is as necessary as re-
form in the Commons heretofore was ?—(Cheers.) For
of what value, to Ireland for instance, is a reform in the
Commons, if the House of Lords be able to stop the good
intended by the House of dmmons, and to prevent Ire-
land sharing in the benefits which the British people enjoy?
Therefore I have made this tour to bring that single ques-
