THE MEN OF TUB CITY OF THE VIOLATED TREATY

.-STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING IN LIMERICK.
The arrival by the mail this morning of the news
of the judgment having been reversed, spread through
the city as if with electric rapidity. Before ten
minutes every man, woman, • and child was iri
possession of the gratifying intelligence. Crowds--
of people continued, during the day, at every
corner of the streets, talking over the subject, and joy
and delight beamed on every countenance. nos
Trades' Hall and every temperance room in the city
immediately hung out their beautiful flags, which
continued floating in the breeze the entire day.
PREPARATORY MEETING OF THE CORPORATION AND
THE CITIZENS.
A twelve o'clock a most numerous and highly
respectable meeting of the corporation and the
citizens assembled at the Exchange, the mayor in the
chair, for the purpose of considering whether any,
and what expression, should be given to the public
reeling on so triumphant and gratifying an occasion.
meetinz was addressed by Counsellor Dtvett,
:tn.'. Mr. Brahan, Mr. Raleigh ; Mr. Ahern,
Gn the part of the trades and Repeal Wardens ;
Mr. Spillane, Mr. Cullen, and others ; and the
unanimous opinions of all were that from pre-
cedent it would be quite consonant with the views
of tlie Liberator that no public illumination
,hould take place. A resolution to that effect was
unanimously adopted, and ordered to be published
cad placarded instanter, to acquaint the Repealera
throughout the city, who had previously resolved to
illuminate. The meeting was then adjourned -at
half-past two o'clock.
ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE CITIZENS AT LARGE.
The citizens assembled at the appointed hour at
half-past two o'clock, and unanimously resolved to in-
vite our beloved Liberator, on his liberation, to a grand
provincial public banquet, to be given in Limerick
on whatever day it was his pleasure to name for that
purpose. We understand that the mayor of Cork and
:everal members of the corporation, as well as other
nighly eltl7Pns of Cork, have already noti-
del their intentions of being present at any provincial
ilemonstration that might be made in Limerick upon
the liberation of O'Connell. We have no doubt the
mayors and corporations of Clonmel, Waterford, and
Kilkenny, will also join in this manifestation of
national feeling.

INVITATION TO THE LIBERATOR.
As agreed upon at this meeting, the Right Wor-
shipful the Mayor, and Martin Ronan, Esq., T.C.,
proceeded by the mail this evening for Dublin, as a
deputation on the part of the the Repealers of Lime-
rick, to invite Mr. O'Connell to this provincial de-
monstration. Limerick is always at its post.

TAR BARRELS AND BONFIRES.
Just as we were going to press preparations are
bring made by several for lighting tar- barrels
and bonfires in various parts of the city. We
also learn that the news of Mr. O'Connell's Jibe•
ration has spread with such rapidity throughout
the country, that the surrounding counties will, to-
night, be one continued lurid flame.—Limerick Re-
porter.
The letters which reached town this morning re-
present the excitement in the provinces as intense be-
yond all former experience. The counties of Kildare,
Carlow, Dublin, Louth, Tipperary, King and Queen's
Counties, Kilkenny, &c., &c., were literally one
sheet of flame last night. In Wicklow, the hills have
been converted into cinder ; heath and furze have, as
the newspaper people are accustomed to say, " fallen
a prey to the devouring element."

CHANGES AT THE CASTLE.
There are confident rumours of contemplated
changes at Dublin Castle. It is said that Mr. Penne-
father, Chief C'erk in the Secretary's office, is to suc-
ceed Ned Lt cas, as Under •Secretary, and that Mr.
Cane, son of the army agent, is to succeed Mr. Pen-
nefather. Law changes are also mentioned. We
suppose that Mr. Barrister Brewster will have to
crawl out after Lucas.

POOR PRISONERS.
This morning, on the return of the State prisoners
to Richmond Prison, Mr. O'Connell called for a list
of all the prisoners confined for the non-payment of
fines, and discharging the claims against them, had
them liberated. The joy of the poor fellows was ex-
cessive.—Nation.

ELECTION FOR THE CHAMBER-
LAIN SHIP.
Yesterday the polling was recommenced at nine
o'clock. It was a most tedious concern all through
the day, to all except to Mr. Heppel, who appeared to
be delighted with the pastime, and the advance he had
made towards victory, having polled six votts within
the six hours. The good humour of Alderman Brown
was, notwithstanding this formidable rivalry, quite
impurturbable. He, however, considered that he
might very fairly make an appeal to the courtesy of
his antagonist at the conclusion of the day's proceed-
ings. At three o'clock the following numbers were
exhibited :
Brown 1,966 I Heppel 59
Alderman Brown had, during the day, -polled 160
to Mr. Heppel's 6.
Mr. POTTER, the presiding Secondary, having
announced the state of the gross poll,
Alderman BROWN exhibited himself on the hustings
amidst cheers, with a little of what is called " goose"
amongst them. He hoped the meeting would do him
the justice to believe that he felt the most lively
gratitude for the manner in which the Livery con-
tinued to come forward with their votes in favour of
his claims. He was, indeed, most grateful. Mr.
Heppel had declared, and he (Alderman Brown) be-
liered that such declaration was sincere, that he was
acting in favour of a principle—the principle that the
members of the Court of Aldermen had no exclusive
claim to the suffrages of the constituency, and that a
Liveryman had a right to set up for any office the
Livery had a right to bestow.—(Hear, hear.) Upon
that principle Mr. Heppel and he perfectly agreed.
There was, however, another principle upon which
gentlemen were seldom at variance—the principle of
courtesy, by which a losing candidate, finding
that there was an unequivocal demonstration of
the Livery against him, and that he had not
the slightest chance of success, was influenced to
cease from increasing the expense and the trouble of
his opponent.—(Hear, hear.) In that principle he
could not tell whether Mr. Heppel agreed with him,
but he hoped to hear from that gentleman that they
held the same opinion upon that, as well as upon
the other subjects on which they had expressed their
acquiescence.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. HEPPEL then stepped forward, amidst applause
and hisses. The Alderman had, he said, made an
appeal to him as to the course he meant to pursue
under the present condition of the poll, and stated
that courtesy required that a candidate, against whom
the intentions of the Livery were unequivocally de-
clared, should retire from the contest. He agreed in
that opinion, but he differed from the Alderman in
thinking, that while the poll boards exhibited not so
many as 2,000, out of 15,000 votes, the demonstra-
tion could be called unequivocal.—(Hisses, laughter,
and a faint cry of " Hear, hear.") If the Alderman,
indeed, should, next day, bring up as many voters as
would make his number of supporters 8,000,- there
could then be no just or reasonable ground for pro-
longing the contest.—(A roar of laughter and hisses.)
The Hall was then adjourned till nine o'clock to-
morrow (Tuesday) morning.

NORTH LANCASHIRE ELEcrioN.----Lord Stanley,
Secretary for the Colonies, has accepted another office—
the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, preparatory,
it is said, to his elevation to the House of Lords. Some
of the London papers wonder what this may portend ;
but whatever may be his motive for going into the Upper
House, the desire to leave the Lower may be easily ac-
counted for. The proud representative of the house -ot
Stanley does not like to be subordinate, in the same
place, to the son of the cotton spinner, who, besides, has
frequently taken the liberty of snubbing, rather un-
ceremoniously, his fiery and petulant Lordship. Per-
haps the strange, and, as their own party must think,
the imprudent admission of Mr. Sowler and Mr, cais.
tor that at any contest, after the present registration.
there will be little chance for teen one Conservative
Member being elected for South Lancashire, may have
hastened his Lordship's decision to secure a, seat in Par-
liament for himself, while there remains a probability-
of his having, in his own division of the county, a suc-
cessor of his own politics. Nothing, believe, we has 3et
been resolved upon by the parties thus taken by surprise.
to send a better representative of the divisicn than his
Lordship was, but we may safely say that a mere Whig.
without the hearty co-operation of free-traders' would
not have the shadow of a chance. Lord Stanley' in h
address to the electors of North Lancashire, say's it be-
comes him gratefully to thank them, and return into
their hands the trust they had honoured him with for
twelve years. It is curious to refer now to the marn:r
in which he lost his seat for Preston, and took refuge in
the county. On his acceptance of office under Earl
Grey he had to vacate his scat. He offered himself
again, but had Henry Hunt as his competitor, and, as his
Lordship refused to pledge himself to vote against the
corn-law, Air. Hunt, always a zealous corn-law repealer,
was returned Member for Preston. The time is ap-
proaching when the county also will be lost to his party,
Irom a dogged pertinacity in favour of monopoly.—
