DUDLIN, Nov. 30.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Mr. Sheil has relapsed into his evil courses. This
splendid orator, author, dramatist, King's Counsel, and
Member of Parliament, yesterday made his first appear-
ance for the season at the Ould Association Rooms,
Burgh-quay. The adhesion of a man who owns a car-
riage, wears a silk gown, and franks letters to such a
Jacobinical Society, was a perfect Godsend; and his
presence was therefore hailed with deafening cheers. He
delivered a speech which he has fully reported, and which
probably, if you can spare space enough, you may comment
on. You will perceive he is an out-and-out repealer, and
rivals the great demagogue in his abuse of the Government.
Various reasons are assigned for this gentleman's re-
newed violence. Shortly after the passing of the Relief
Bill he abondoned his old associates, and frequently, I be-
lieve, expressed his delight at getting rid of their contami-
nating companionship. He visited at the Castle, was in-
vited to the private parties of the Tory Duke of Northum-
berland and his Secretary, Sir Henry Hardinge, found
favour in the eyes of a buxom widow with a splendid
jointure, and ultimately was promoted to be King's Conti-
sel. I shall never forget his first appearance in Banco after
this event. O'Connell was standing in his old stuff gown
as a traverser for his participation in his seditious and
anti proclamation breakfasts. The Court was greatly,
crowded. The Sergeants, and other Crown lawyers, gra-
dually took their places in the inner bar, a loud rustling
noise was at length beard, and the new K.C. appeared
forcing'his way thorough the crowd, in his new robe de sole.
The instant his quondam leader espied him, he exclaimed
in his own peculiarly bitter and sarcastic manner, "Make
way there for a Ring's Counsel ! Don't ye see its a
King's Counsel." The Court smiled, while Sheil, evi-
dently smarting, took his seat beside the Solicitor-General.
O'Connell gave a knowing wink to an old associate in the
gallery, as much as to say, " Didn't I do that well ?"
Since that period the rhetorical artificer has withstood all
entreaties to join his country's disturbers. In possession
of an independent fortune, and rank at the bar fully equal
to his professional knowledge, it was imagined he would
have added the weight of his influence to the Government
party ; but whether apprehensive of the payment of his
rents in jure uxoris—or dreading the loss of a seat in
Parliament—or dazzed with the hope lately expressed by
O'Connell of marching in procession with the other Irish
Members from High Mass to the Parliament House in
College-green, I cannot say. His lucid interval of loyalty
has vanished, and " Richard's himsed again." A highly
respectable meeting of the leading commercial citizens was
held yestersday at the Commercial-buildings, at which re-
solutions were passed, pledging themselves to support
Sergeant Perrin for the city. 1 believe there is no doubt
of the Learned Sergeant's success, and it is very propable
Mr. O'Connell will be elected with him. As for Scott

'tis all humbug. Daniel, in obedience to the will of the
Trade, has abandoned him, and the Orangemen have ex-
pelled him from their body. So much for the junction of
the rival colours.
