Ma. O'CONNELL IN CORK.—Mr. O'Connell's re-
ception in Cork on Monday was most enthusiastic.
Upon the announcement of the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman's approach, according to the Reporter, " the-
shout of triumphant welcome sent forth by the assem
bled myriads was one that told, more eloquently thin
the most finished eloquence could do, the deep and
innate feeling of reverential aff.etion with which his
countrymen regard him. Preceding the carriage of Mr.
O'Cominell was that of our highly-respected fellow-
rd
citizen, Thomas Lyons, Esq., who had gone forwa
some miles. for the purpose of meeting the Hoo• sea
Learned Gentleman. In order to gratify the millet'',
with which every one endeavoured to catch a glitere
him, Mr. O'Cannell had ascended the box of the coach,
and responded, in his customary affable and benignaat
manner, to the deafening plaudits with which his sr
pearanee was hailed. The precession of the trades,Bo .
being, after a few minutes' delay, arranged in the order
of retern, moved towards the city at a moderate Pac.e,
the different bands uniting, and striking Up tbe air!
See the conquering hero comes.' On the arrival ot
Mr. O'Connell at the People's Hall, the rush of Wean
beings was terrific, and considerable time elapsed beforiel
he succeeded in making his way to the platform on Whic
the chair was placed at the end of the room.
An address from the Cork Trades' Association els
soon after presented to him, to which he made as ener-
getic reply.
