DUBLINg Awn ;I.—The -trades of Limerick- are so ena-
moured with Mr. Smith O'Brien's conduct, that they Bare
invited him to a triumphal entry and procession into " the
city of the violated treaty," on Thursday week. On Satur-
day night Mr. O'Brien arrived in Limerick, and forthwith
the patriotic trades--of
.whom, by .the way, the "Head Pa-
cificator" is President7-Ivaited. on" the Martyr," .to ascertain
how and when they could have the satisfaction of repaying
him for all the sufferings and sacridees he has endured and
made. Mr. O'Brien we are told, by the Limerick Riportcr,
received the deputation most warmly—thanked them for
their congratulations' and accepted the intended demonstra-
tion, after which the deputation retired.
The several guilds of the congregated trades assembled
again at their hail on Sunday at two o'clock, to enter upon
the preliminary arrangements.
A preliminary meeting of the citizens was also held at the
Commercial-buildings, at two o'clock, the Right Worshipful
the Mayor in the chair, to consider the best means of giving
all the effect in their power to the intended demonstration.
The masters and wardens of the trades attended upon an
invitation from this meeting. There was a unanimous feel-
ing that the forthcoming demonstration should be rendered
worthy of the msn, and the cause of the congregated trades,
and of the people of Limerick. •
Subscriptions were set on foot upon the spot, towards a
magnificent triumphal car for the descendant of the hero
of Clontarf. It was further agreed that the whole order
of the procession to be under the management of the
trades, who so well know how to conduct such demon-
strations.

A public dinner was mooted on the part of the county and
city of Limerick, but the trades having previously suggested
the soirée, with a view of bringing it within the reach of the
masses, and this having met the approbation of Mr. O'Brien,
the assembled citizens concurred in the arrangements, leaving
the invitation to a dinner to some future day.
A committee was then appointed, consisting of some of the
gentlemen present, and of the masters and wardens of the
trades, for the purpose of carrying forward the arrangements,
and of communicating with the several leading persons, both
priests and people, in this county and the counties of Clare,
Tipperary, &c., informing them of the intended demonstra-
