" Fellow-countrymen—The period of the year has
again arrived when the Irish people are called upon to
offer the tribute of their devoted attachment to the
greatest man of his age and country. He stands before
them in a new position—more than ever commanding
their admiration—more than ever entitled to their gra-
titude.

" Hitherto they have honoured him as the foremost as-
sertor of their rights and liberties, whose purity was
never tainted, and whose courage never quailed. Through
the labours of a life, applied with matchless perseverance
to their service, they have honoured-him as the success-
ful advocate of the Dissenters of England—as the great
deliverer of the Catholics of Ireland—as the powerful
champion of the oppressed of every creed and clime.
They have honoured him as the unpurchaseable patriot,
who spurned the dignities, emoluments, and ease of the
highest offices attainable by a Catholic, that he might
continue to toil for unhappy millions.
" One thing was yet wanting.
" O'Connell had struggled for Ireland—he had con-
quered for Ireland—it remained that he should suffer
for Ireland.
" He has crowned the services and sacrifices of half a
century, and consummated his title to the enduring af-
fection of Irishmen, by testifying from -a prison, in the
year 1844, his unshaken fidelity to his country, and to his
cherished principle of her legislative independence.
" Once again he is victorious, and victorious for Ire-
land. Amidst the acclamations of all honest and en-
lightened men he has triumphed over chicane, and fraud,
and tyranny, which would have beaten down the na-
tional spirit and destroyed the national hope. He has
vindicated in his own person the dearest constitutional
privileges of the people, and made it impossible for Go-
vernments hereafter to perpetrate injustice, and crush
liberty, under the abused forms of law.
" The claim upon Ireland's gratitude, thus complete,
she is eager to acknowledge,- not only freely and
equitably, but enthusiastically and generously. She
feels that it is even more her interest than her duty to
sustain her indomitable leader ; who, uniting her
children, concentrating her energies, and marshalling
her moral power, has rendered her terrible to her
enemies, and secured an early triumph to her righteous
cause."
MR. O'CONNELL IN DARRYNANE.

The Kerry Examiner contains the following :—" Mr.
O'Connell during the last week enjoyed the pleasure of
hunting with his beagles, notwithstanding that the wea-
ther was occasionally unfavourable. However, there
was ne lack of sport—the Darrynane pack, which is of a
superior description, have seldom returned from the
hunt without the company of five or six bares after the
day. Several gentlemen—some from India, Poland,
Germany—visited Darrynane within the last few days,
where they were received without distinction of class or
creed, with that true Irish hospitality so characteristic of
Ireland's champion."

LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY FARES
hIPROVED.—We had the great pleasure last week of
announcing a considerable reduction in the fares
charged to passengers on this line of railway, namely,
from 75., 58., and 3s. 6d., to 65., 45., and 2s. 6d.,
with the addition of one-third class train from
Liverpool in the morning, to return in the even-
ing, to take effect from to-morrow week, Saturday,
November 2J. In those concessions to the claims of the
public we have an instalment, for which we are truly
thankful ; but we have not had time during this great
Birkenhead...week to inquire into several particulars of
deep interest to the community, and which shall have our
best attention next week.—Liverpool Mercury.
INFLUX OF THIEVES.—We have just been informed
by Captain Haining, Superintendent of the city police,
that there are at present prowling about the streets of
Eiinburgh, and of course seeking for prey, between 50
and GO common and convicted thieves, who have all and
each returned from imprisonment for various periods,
and in various prisons. They are all well known,
especially to the criminal officers, and all the police
constables have their eyes upon them, but of course can-
not interfere unless they catch them in the commission
of crime. We would therefore advise merchants and
tradesmen, as well as private families, to be upon their
guard against the arts of these rogues, which are so di-
versified. The fact which we have stated, of the num-
ber of known and convicted thieves being at large, may
appear astonishing to those who are not aware of a prac-
ticeis this—that on a first and second conviction, the
