THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.
The collee,ion, as far as we have yet been able to learn,
will come near the general expectations. The sum from
this city will, we understand, amount to nearly 150/.
_Kilkenny Journal.
DUNGARVAN. --The parishioners of Dungarvan have
done honour to themselves ; the sum of 9.5/. was collected
opposite to the chapel gate, besides a further sum of 10/.,
which will he received before next Sunday, making 1051.
.--Waterford Chronicle.

WATERFORD.—The total amount collected in Trinity
Within was 120/.—lbid.
CARRICK.—The sum of 781. was collected in Carrick
and Carrickbeg, and, to any person acquainted with the
misery, the sum contributed by the people will appear a
splendid offering.—lbid.
COKK.—The collec!ions raised at the different chapels
were as follows :-.-North Chapel, 1231. ; North Friary,
591.: South Chapel, 411. ; South Friary, 471. ; Carey's-
lane, 621. ; Broad.lane, 37/. ; Brunswick-street, 781. ;
Blackrock, 16/.
In addition to the above returns there were individual
subscriptions, which swelled the entire to 563/. ; and it is
expected that before the list closes it reach 7001.
Southern Reporter,
MIDDLETox.—At Middleton the amount received was
601 , and the sum will be considerably increased on next
Sunday, as many persons were not aware of its being the
day appropriated for this manifestation of their regard.—
Cork Herald.

[The people of Middleton must be in the darkest igno-
rance, for surely the " best possible instructor" has never
visited them.]
NEWRY.-601. was collected here, but the collectors
hope to get more during the week.

kitatAct!.--50/. was collected in this town.
DROGHEDA.-301. was collected,:and persons appointed
to call on those who did not attend chapel.
WEXFORD.—The amount collected was 601., but it is
hoped it will, by the industry of the collectors, reach a
hundred by the end of the week.
We (D. E. P.) think the collectors entitled to great
praise for perseverance and importunity. We recommend,
however, the practice of a little gentle violence.
A SAFE CRITERION. —" From every thing that can
be collected, there is a certainty that the National An-
nuity to Mr. O'Connell will exceed on the present
occasion the amount of any former year."—Southern
Reporter.
This is puttinz the issue on a right foundation. Should
the glorious anticipations of the Renters he realized—we
have no very sanguine notions about the subject—without
all question it will be " from every thing that can be col-
lected."— Waterford Chronicle.
Mr. O'Co NELL.—Mr. -O'Connell was in the hall ti
the Four Courts on Saturday, and in ruddy health and
vigour like a 'mountain hunter. His reception by his
friends was enthusiastic in the extreme.

From the Four Courts he proceeded to Mr. Coyne's in
Capel-street, the original Catholic Association rooms, and
from thence to the Corn Exchange committee rooms, where
were several gentlemen who take an active part in Iris'n
popular politics. The Liberator was greeted on his entrance
by a shout of joy; and on taking his seat he, with buoyant
spirits and hilarity, said "it was time to commence some
agitation in Ireland !" and wrote the requisition for a
meeting of his parish, which appears in our advertising
columns.—Dublin Morning Register.

TO MR.. HILL, M P. FOR HULL.
Dublin, November IS, 1833.

Sir—l have seen in a late paper, a speech said to have been
delivered by you, at a dinner in the toe n you represent,
and have read, with much astonishment, a statement in
that speech, to the effect that o-te of the most constant
public opponents, among the Irish members of the infamous
Coercion Bill, declared in private to the Ministers that it
would be impossible to live in Ireland if that Bill were not
passed. Your refusal to give the name, leaves the imputation
of treachery upon every individual of the Irish Members
in opposition. As one of that body, I conceive I have a
right to call upon you to clear the characters of those who
were sincere in opposing it, by mentioning the name of
the traitor.

For myself, I will take this opportunity of stating, that
if I thought myself capable of entertaining, even for a
moment, the idea that the Coercion Bill was necessary, I
would despise myself almost as much as if I ever forgot, or
forgave it.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant,
JOHN O'CONNELL.

There is a renewed tendency in the foreign
exchanges to give way, and though they are not yet so
low, referring to the current rates quoted, as to make the
exportation of, bullion profitable, it appears that a very
large amount both of gold and silver has been shipped for
the Continent during the last week. Such operations can
only have been undertaken, therefore, for the purpose of
preventing, so far as is possible, a further decline in the
exchanges, or of deriving a profit from it when it actually
takes place. Whatever the motive may be, there is
evidently a very strenuous effort making to export largely
of the precious metals. About a fortnight ago similar efforts,
by the same parties, had checked the decline, and even
turned the scale in favour of a rise, but this new reaction
taking place thus early has caused much doubt to be felt
of the success of the second experiment.

By the advices from Hamburg the price of
gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price
of 31. 17s. 10*d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13 91, and the exchange at Hamburg on
London at short being 13 9i, it follows that gold is *
per cent. dearer at Hambuig than in London. The
premium on gold at Paris is 121 per mille, which at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10*d. per ounce for standard
gold gives an exchange of 25 46*, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 25 37k, it follows that gold
is 9-25 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London.

THs PLUMSTEAD MURDER.—After the
verdict of the je:y was pronounced on Friday night,
John Bodle, the deceased's grandson, was taken into a
room adjoining that in which the jury had assembled, and
shortly after Mr. Colquhoun, his solicitor, requested Mr.
Bider, the surgeon, to visit him. Mr. Butler did so,
and found him in a most distressing state ; the tears were
streaming down his face, and he became quite hysterical;
he partially recovered, and then, in the most emphatic
manner, said "I am innocent." He continued to weep,
and having several times exclaimed, "Oh my poor
mother!" Mr. Butler instantly went to her house, and
returned with' her 'in his photon to the inn. On be-
holdiog her the prisoner burst into a flood of tears, took
hold of both.her hands, and with his head testing on them,
wept bitterly. Oa Saturday morning the deceased was
buried in Plumitead Churchyard. After the funeral 18
of the: party, inciadiag:the prisoner's father, dined at the
deceased's house. The father of the prisoner did not ap-
pear much disturbed at the melancholy situation of his
son, but partook of dinner, and was apparently the least
concerned or affected of the whole party. The prisoner,
on the road to and at Maidstone, still persisted in his in-
nocence. He will be tried at the winter assizes, which
commence on the 9th of next month.

Yesterday evening, between eight and nine
o'clock, two men in the garb of gentlemen, in a state of
intoxication, drove furiously along Coventry-street, in a
one horse chaise. Just at this instant a lady, attired in
deep mourning, of most respectable appearance, was in the
act of crossing the road, leading a little boy, about five
years of age, by the hand, when the vehicle came upon her
so suddenly that she was knocked down, and the wheel
passed over her leg. The little fellow whom she was
leading narrowly escaped being killed on the spot. Several
persons who witnessed the shameful occurrence ran to the
lady's assistance, and conveyed her and the child into the
shop of Mr. Eddels, a hosier close by, where she received
surgical aid. In the mean time the brutal fellows in the
gig passed on, at the same rapid rate, without once stopping
to inquire the extent of the mischief they had done. They
drove up Wardour-street, followed by the police and a
number of other persons, amidst execrations and cries of
they've killed a woman." Finding they
they lashed the horse, and drove with
:‘:e pursued,ne,Srrteoapsedthspeed, so that many persons narrowly escaped
being run over from the rapidity of their flight, and, as far
, ultimately escaped. The lady, who
ah

recovered

together with the child, and conveyed to her residence,
which was said to be in Sackville-street.
