• MR. O'.CONNELL IN CORK.
GREAT DINNER.
(From the cork Examiner.)
The grand banquet to O'Connell took place at Cork
on Monday evening. It was-a most splendid affair, the
preperatians having been 'made on the most extensive
seate. -fir-say-that-the banquet-hall presented a bril-
liant and imposing spectacle, would be far short of the
magnificent coup d'ail that bust upon the astonished
vision of= the . 800 gentlemen who assneeled within its
walls. All that east extent of space could produce, or
that elaliorate and elegant decoration . could effect, was
.done iu order to render this demonstration menierable in
the winds-of those who participated in its festivity. A
.splendid canopy of.'rich crimson damask stretched the
whole length of the upper end of the vast saloon, en-
tirely arching over the table at which. sat the Chairman,
the guests of the evening, and the principal members of
the Corporation; together with the.city; county, nod pro-
vincial members: Oyer the canopy, which was orna-
mented with ,gilt cornices, &e., and put up by Mr. D.
W. Galligen, -was placed a crown,• with the letters
" V. R." in resplendent gas, which shed a flood of light
upon the arms of the diffarent eprporations present.
litifnedietely under the canopy, and above the chair,
were the words " Justice-to !rebind," emblazoned to
letters of burnished gold. Thy' tables were covered with
the mesa. costly ornaments, end furnished with every
delicacy that care or expen,e could supply. The ceiling
was d. corated by three medalions, ercentre pieces, from
which large chandeliers depended. One, nearest to
the chair; contained a repr'-sentatiun of the old
Irish crown and harp ; the othr the Royal arms
of Britain, and the third those of the Prince of Wales.
We must notice two interesting figureseinteresting not
only from the ability with which they were exeCuted—
but from the sentiment they were-ma ant to convey. At
either end of the crimson canopy was placed one ..f these
figures, the one representing Erin stretching forth the hand
of peace to her haughty sister, England, who was repre-
sented by the other .figure. The pillars supporting the
galleries were wreathed with bright evergreens. that ime
part, d a fresh .and pleasant area. The galleries were
filled to their utmost limit by more than three hundred
ladies, dressed with fashionable elegance, and all near-
ing their brightest smiles for "the hour and the man."
W. Smith O'Brien, 1- sq., M.P., took the chair.
Near the Chairman we noticed John O'Connell, Esq.,
(arena ; Mr. Caleb Powel, NI.P., Limerick ; Sir David
Roche, M.P. ; Dan. Callaghan, M.P. ; John O'Connell,
M.P. ; Maurice O'Connell, M.P. ; Nicholes . Maher,
M.P. ; E. B. Roche, M.P. ; Morgan John O'Connell,
M.P.. ; Sir Richard Musgrave, Bare, Toureen; Sir Ben-
jamin Morris, Waterford ; J. Callaghan, Esq., Errina
House, county -Limerick ; Rev., Mr. Tierney ; Richard
Barrett, Dublin; Edward Thomas -Power, Waterford ;
Very Rev. Dr. Fogarty, P.P , Lismore H enry. Russell,
Esq., Russell House, Charleville ; -Very Rev. Dr. Laffan,
P.P., Fethard, Tipperary ; Joseph Hayes, Esq, Cork ;
T. S. Copinger, Esq. ; J. Pa Midleton ;Doctors ald
win and Bourke, P.P.'s, Clenmel ; Wiilliam Galway,
Esq., Fort -Arthur ; the Rev. Dr. Murphy, Cork ; J.
Galwey, Cork ; T. Healey ; Michael M'Swiney, Cork ;
and, of course, an immense,number of persons.
The Corporations of Limerick, of Waterford, of Clon-
inel, of Kilkenny, of Cashel, And of Cork, were appro7
priately represented.. ;
When the cloth had been removed, the Rev. William
O'Sullivan read. letters from the Archbishop of Tuam,
from-Drs. Slattery, Crotty, O'Higgins, and Kennedy, ac-
counting for their unwilling ahsenee.
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast. .He
called on them to fill a bumper. in .Commencing the pro-
ceedings on that interesting occasion, -by dainking the
" Health of the Sovereign." He saw before him a mag •
nificent array of names, whose patriotism was unbounded
as their loyalty was Unquestionable.—(Hear, hear.) The
Irish people had ever -shown a disposition to uphold the
principle of menarche. . Whatever antipathy they might
hold-ageing a British Parliainentethere a as none against
the British Qtteen.—;,(Loud cheers.)
.lie need searce:y
allude, then, to. Norsvey .Hungaey, nor to. the e ell-
knoWn " Moriumur pro rege uos-tro Maria Theresa." If
such he our loyalty Pow, Comintied the eloquent Chair-
man,. what will it he When we are able to associate with
our cause the reene of our. %en- rated and beloied Suve,
reign?---=(Che:Ta) That her reign tnie ht be ever memo-.
rebles for her atteatem to Ireland, to Irish right, and
Irish prosperity, was his devout aitil nieiet sincere prayer..
—(Loud . The toast • was --dritrilt. with the ut-
most enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then gave ": The People." - -
"The Prince of Wale-, Prince Albert, and the last
of the loyal Family resident hi England," were duly
lee:mitred.
The CHAIRMAN said that , the next toast he held to
'give was " The Land of our Birth fuel of our Aff-ctions."
The Cnintstart-1 shall not delay you longer—your
impatience must be relisv, d. I have now to propose to
you the health of the veteran .patriot who sits by my
side.-(The company here ruse en masse, and gave re:
prated cheers.) Gentlemen, here is a grt at moral ex-
ample. Hitherto, mankind had been too much in the
habit of awarding their admiration and applause to those
who had distinguished themselves not. by augmenting
the happiness of mankind,
.but by extending throughout
the world carnage and slaughter, and the name of great
has been given to those who have sacrificed the greatest
number of: human -beings,
.But we, Gentlemen, are
assembled here to-night to set to mankind an example in
awarding our admiration and homage to the man whose
whole life has been spent in endeavouring to secure by
peaceful means alone the happiness of his countrymen
'and of his 'species--a nobler description of greatness
surely than that which-can be claimed by any. of those, or
which history has given to them on the grounds which I
have mentioned.--el-lear,) To the Irish nation Mr.
O'Connell is endeared. not only by his connection with
these topics, but especially When we'consider his eontin-
nous unceasing efforts to redeem his country from pro-
vincial degradation—when we see him entering life as a.
combatant against the union, resisting with all his youth-'
ful energy, in all the eloquence of youthful vigour, that
measure.. Again, in 1810, we find him taking advantage-
of the first opportunity that presented- itself for recalling.
to kis countrymen a senee of the wrongs they had sus-
tained —(Hear, hear)—and in 1830, when he began to
feel that -the Einancipation Act was, as regards the great
mass of the people, a dead letter, he hoisted the standard
of repeal; nor was that standard laid aside for a moment
until he had a reasonable expectation that. from the
justice of England this country might hope for peaceful
legislatione--(Hear, hear.) He gave to that experiment
ample time, he exhausted the patience of his countrymen,
and at length, in 1839, after having for fiveliars relied,
on the reasonableness of the claims advanced, and on the
justice of the English people, and found that that on
which he relied was based onno solid foundation, he then
indeed rehoiated thistandard of repeal—(Cheers),--and
was be not: justified in that course ? Some doubted at
the time that Mr.' O'Connell was justified, and for a con-
siderable time there was apathy in the public mind. But
Mr. O'Connell has been justified by events. But
when it was . found that the _ same policy was adopted
which was pursued by Conservatives out of office, and
that. this country was to receive•nothing.but insult and
disgrace from England, then-indeed the Irish nation
arose in all her might, and, by the spontaneous action of
the whole nation, hundreds of thousands met in the dif-
ferent.parts of Ireland—they invited Mr: O'Connell as
their organ to attend ; he did attend, and he spoke in-
vehement and.. indienant language.—(Cheers.) It is_
possible that in using it he may have brought himself
within the operation of some bad law, derived from pre=
ccdents iureishel in the history of the . wor.a, thecae-,
(Hear, hear.) But how did they seek to-make Mr
O'Connell responsible—by holding him responsible for
the acts-of the Asociation with
.which he a as connected,:
and for the reports in -newspapers, cirouleting the ec--
counts sf what passed in that A sseeie tiOn. He was to
be inaile xesponstbie for every artiele which appeared in
those papers, and that 'w*:s. English justice.---(Groans,)
The pro tutors, however, O.:tallied-a verdict, and now let
me ask' hem what they !laic gained ?—(Hear, hear,
from Mr. O'Connell.) Have they suppressed the move-
ment in favour of a repeal of the union ?--(Loud cries of
" No, no," from various parts ef the room.) Your voice
answers that question. and it will be re echoed by
millions.—(Cheers.) If any man were doubtful or hesi-
tating, the prosecution had brought that man forward.—;
(Hear.) Let me ask whether they accomplished one of
the objects they had in view—of diminishing Mr. O'Cen-
nell's popular influence ?—(Cries-of " No, no.") Will
the power of his mind be less when his body is confined
in a dungeon?—(No, ne.). I, upon this occasion, as a
friend to English connexion, declare that I feel it a
solemn imperative duty, which I could not reconcile it
to my conscience not to-perform, to tell the British Go-
vernment that it is my firm conviction that if O'Connell
be imprisoned, as I presume he will be in the course of
next week, that I do not believe that in this country
one single arm will be uplifted.—(" Hear," from Mr.
O'Connell.) Butl am bound at the same time to tell
them that tbere'has been no act—l will not say since
the union, but for centuries—which could so greatly
alienate us from English connexion—no one act, and I
speak it.not in, the, way of.menitee, but in the spirit of a
friendly :warning, believe will tend so effectually•
to theeeltireateeeparation of the two countries.-e-(Hear,
and cheers.) But, Gentlemen, be this' as it may, our
duty is 'elear--we are here to record our protest against
the whole of these proceedings--totender to our illustrious
. guest 'our unbought sympathy, and. to assure him, not.
only in our own names, but in the name of the Irish
nation, that within the walls of his prison he
.possesses
more than ever he possessed the affection of the Irish
people.—.(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now to ask you
to drink,- and I need not solicit your enthusiasm,. the
health of him whom his country salutes' as its' father;
and itfinoral ruler.—(Cheers.) I give you health and
long-life to Mr. O'Connell.---(Great cheering, the com-
pany rising and not resuming their places till the' toast
was responded to in the most „cordial and enthusiastic
manner:)
Mr. O'CoNstrLierose, and a scene followed such as we
have never before Witnessed—the. entire company 'miter-
ing forth vollies of' the most deafening and enthusiastic
cheers, while the ladies waved their scarfs from the gal-
leries. Again and again was the .applause renewed, every
burst being more vigorous and prolonged than that which
preceded it, and we are positive that ten minutes elapsed
before the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was allowed to
proceed.: By a most ingenious picee of mechanism, a
golden figure of a winged messenger of heaven was let
down from the ceiling, immediately over the chair. In
its hands it bore a silken flag, upon which, in letters of
gold, was inscribed the .scroll--" Ireland expects that

To be sure, no man ever received such a cotnplitaent
—(Cheers.) No man who ever stood upon the threshold
of a prison received such a compliment.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) No-man who ever stood on the steps of a
throne was honoured as I have been honoured, though
on the threshold of a prison ; but I would not change
that prison, with the compliment, for the throne of any
monarch in the universal world.—(Hear, hear, and hind
cheers.) Let our rulers know that there never before
was such an assemblage in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Who-
would have thought formerly that Kilkenny would have
marched to Cork—that the Mayor of Kilkenny would
shake hands with the Meyor of Clonmel, and the Mayor
of Limerick join both sites festival before the Mayor. of
Cork ?—(Laughter, and cheers.) Well, miracles will
never cease--(Laughter)—and that this moral miracle
should be wroueht on behalf of a convicted conspirator.
se more miraculous than all.--,(Laughter.) I would wish
to ask you, and there -are enough of you hereto answer
my question, What crime have I committed ?—(Loud cries
of " None.") I declare-to Heaven Ido not know. I he,
lieve Chief -Justice Pennefather does no know, nor am I
aware that the sagacious jury knew whaterime they cen-
vieted me on. I repeat lam not aware of the crime, but
I am sure of this, that if it was to be eemtnitted over
again, I stn the boy for it.—(Great cheerine.) I have
ilone nothing of which I am -ashemed before man, or
tremble fir before my God..—(H- ar, hear, and cheers.)'
I hope I am not presumptuous, when I say- the latter.—
(Loud cries of No, no.") I would not have done
anything that my conscience told me was wrong. Bat
I was doing wrong—(No, no)—for, as the Poet very
beautifully said— •
" Alas for his country! her pride has gone by,
And that spirit is broken that never e ould bend."
And the following lines are most apposite:—
" O'er the ruin her children in secret must sigh
For 'tis treason to love her, and death to defend."
And here am I, an arch conspirator, for I do love my
country ; and. I consent, emphatically to die in her de-
fence.—(Loud cheers.)
" Unprised are her sons till they learn to betray,
Undistinguised they live if they shame not their. sires,
And the torch that would light them to victory's way,
Must be caught from the pile where the country expires."
It is in these lines, not in a law book7—in these lines, and
not on matters of fact—that my indictment is to be ft tund.
—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Attorney-General
and his confreres ran out the indictment to thirty-six
yards—(Loud groans.) What have I done- that you
should groan me?—(Laughter and cheering.) If you
had permitted me, I would have told you that the At-
torney-General spun out thirty-six yards of parchment
under the indictment which is contained in these few
rhymes that I have spoken.—(Hear, hear.) I have
loved and struggled for Ireland ; I love her still, and
will struggle for her independence while my heart •
beats in my bosom.---,(Loud cheering.) But the objects
of the prosecution are manifesto; for is there one of you
who doubts that its object was to put an end to the agi-
tation for repeal—(Hear, hear)—to resist the-demand of
Ireland for a self-goVernment ? It is not the idle vanity
of this compliment that. hrought me here ; it is not even
to gratify a more plea-arable sensation or my mind in
meeting the respect and affection of persons, the kindness
of any one of whom :would be a greatgratification to me—
it is not that that hi-ought me here this night--it is another,
a higher, and I hope I will be .pardoned for saving, a
nobler motive, that induced me to come here.—(Cheers.)
lam advanced in life—the prison maeterminate my
existence.--(Sensation, and cries of "God forbid.") I
am not shrinking from the dungeon.—(Cheers.) I do
not speak in a. shining or pitiful manner ; 6ut I do trust
that my last moments will be enlivened by the reflection
that I should have lived longer had I not loved Ireland so
intensely.—(Loud cheers.) I came here from another -
motive. I came here for the purpose of proclaiming
from this spot to the entire province of Munster, north
and south, east and west; the duty you have to perform
to. your country.-,(Hear, hear, and cheer's.) lam here
to read you a lecture, not to thank you.—(Cheers.) I
came here for the purpose or instructing you, not to
-gratify, any feeling of .vanity, or to express to you how
much I thank you, and am indebted to you.—(Loud
cheers.) . In order that every man should understand
my advice, it will be necteoary for him to reflect, and
understand the position of the country, as also the psi-
rion*in which he is placed.—(Hear, hear.) It would he
an idle thing for any man to suppose that I atn nut to go
to prison. —(Cries of" No, no.") Yes, For as sure as I
see you here, I shall have to go there.—(Renewed cries
of " No," and clieera.) Wha Folly j'ou talk! sure you
have not the key of the gaol door to lock it against me.
—(Laughter and eheere.) I say I shall go to prison ; I
do rot say I will go, because it.witl be against. my will,
but I do :Ay that I shall go, for I will .he commanded
there. How can any man suppose that I am not to go
ther.,? There are three ways of avoiding the prison—
the first is by making submission to our enemies,
a course which you would not recommend.—
(Loud. .cheering.) I thought we would agree
on that point.-,(Laughter.) The second way is by the
result of the writ of error ; but I confess I know an
much isfjudges that my own conviction, as an old lawyer,
is that we have n e clearest possible case for setting „
aside the judgment.—(Hear, and cheers.) The third
way would be by the Government abandoning the pro-.
secution, and hOlding us under. a recognizance to come
up for judgment at an indefinite period.—(Hear, hear.)
But they will not do that ; the.man knows nothing of
human nature who supposes. our neer& Would sot so.—
(Hear; hear, and loud cheers) They will not do so for
they could not afford- to do so, for this reason, that they
have nut the manliness, as such might be construed into ,
the fact. thatbeing convinced of their error they..wished
to retract from it, and to admit the assertion of Lord
John Ressell.—(HeaTehear,) No man who knows any-
thing of the divinior of Stanley could imagine he would :
relax in his attack-on Ireland and me, and I say it with-
out bigotry, on . every Roman Catholic in Ireland.—
(Groans.) Sir James Graham knows that I placed him
in a very awkward predicament, and he was ready to
fight me who would not fight, but . would not fight
O'Gorman Mahon, who would fights—(Hearand cheers.)
I beat Peel so hollow wheal extracted from him emane
cipation, pardon me for saying 1, for you helped .me • but
we extracted from him Catholic emancipation, which he
will never forget, As . for. the Duke of Wellington—
(Hissing and groaning).—poor old man ! they cannot bear
him even at the Horse Guards, where everything is con-
ducted
in so arbitrary .a manner—any person who could
think that such a- Ministry -will relax does not possess
the amount of common sense which I would be inclined
to give him credit for.—(Hear.) Take it for granted,
the sentence will be carried into execution.: Take this
also with you, they may imprison me, but they will not
vex me—they may confine my person, and they will do
so ; but they will not deprive me of a single pleasurable
sensation.—(Cheers.) If I have not the enjoyment and
exercise of my native mountains, though I shall not be
cheered by the merry sound of my beagles, I will dream
a day dream of them, and will turn my mind to pursuits
that will be sure to yield delight .and instruction.—
(Hear and cheers.) There is no horror in confinement
that a man working for forty years cannot have in con-
templation ; and my astonishment is that they did not.

erywhere the absolute necessity of perfect peace and
tranquillity.—(Hear.) You could.not gratify our enemies
more than by giving them to hear of a disturbance in any
part of Ireland—peace and tranquillity are the means by
which yeu will confound and confuse them.—(Hear.)
They have ready 30,000 men; they have their " Fox
and geese" batteries—(Laughter)—they are ready and
many.of them would be glad to hear that the people ex-
posed themselves to danger.—(Hear, hear.) Again, if
the least disturbance took place. all the sympathy
evinced by our friends in England would terminate. All
good men of our own party would forsake us, and you,
Sir (turning to the Chairman), could not remain with
us, nor is there one of our many friends that .would not
abandon its despair the cause, if there was an outbreak
On my account. I. have but one earnest prayer to put

vices, if they entertain lirme a real affection—not a lip

have wrung into my heart be true, and of which I am
so little deserving—(" No, no," and cheers)—I conjure
them to show their affection for me by their dutiful sub-
mission to the law, and to allow me to work out their
cause by the proper means.--(Hear, hear, cheers, and
loud cries of "We will.") I- have another demand to
make on the people ,of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I have
again to use the vanity of calling on the people of Ire-
land in my own name—(Cheers)—and in the names of
the respected and patriotic gentlemen assembled here,
to show their respect for me and
.them by persevering
and lioubling. their exertions in behalf of the repeal of
the Act of Union.—(Hear, and cheers.) I will put it
to you in this way—do you wish .to gratify your ene-
mies ?—(No no.) Why was the prosecution esta-
blished? ?--(No,
am I to go to-prison? I want to have
it known throughout Ireland that you pronounce every
individual no man, who is not a Repealer.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers.) Answer the State prosecution—an-
swer the selection of the jury—answer the dropping of
the slips from the jury list—answer every part of the
ease—answer my imprisonment—answer everYthingeby

cheers.) Pronounce to every man my temporal, I was
going to say, malediction.—(Hear, hear.) No descrip-
tion of man-is so base as the Irishman that pretends.. to
the slightest political honesty, and who is not a Repealer.
—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I trust that no friend
of mine will keep company with. the man that is not a
Repealer.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Ido not want
you to separate from the Conservatives, who are a re-
spectable body and true to their party ; -I do not call on
you to draw a line between yourselves and the Conser-
vatives, for the Conservatives are just and true to them-
selves ; but I want you to draw a line of demarcation
between yourselves and the men who pretend to have a
regard for Ireland, and who would have you believe they
are not the tools of the Conservatives. I tell you they
are Orangemen of the most fatal nature who do not
answer the late -trials by the proclamation- of repeal
principles.—(Hear, hear.) Let us be able to count
ourselves; or rather .our enemies.—(Hear, hear.) The
Roman senate at one time determined on making . their
slaves wear a peculiar sort of dress, so as to have them
distinguishable from the free men; but one senator, more
sagacious than the rest, said, " Do not dress them, for
they will then be able to count themselves and us also."
(Hear, hear.) I say now, do not be ashamed to .wear
some token—call it a "prosecution button."—(Hear and
cheers.) Let there be a mark—let every- man be capa-
ble of being counted—elet there be some public symbol
worn voluntarily, not by associated means, for that
would come e ithin an indictment, and then- the world
will know who are fir and against repeal.—(Cheers.) I
want to put Ireland to- the test—l want to know if her
sons will declare for the Attorney-General and Brew-
et--r, or fOr
