We are every moment in expectation of the arri-
val of Mr. O'Connell himself, and the state of ex-
citement in which the whole town is kept is alarm-
The streets which are all very long and very
Ilarrow, are choked to suffocation, and for several
Nies on tke road to Limerick multitudes almost be-
Yond number are collected, awaiting the approach of
their candidate. Irku sober Englishmen can have
'Io idea of the extraordinary enthusiasm which per-
wades all classes here.
It is understood that Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald will
ue' put in nomination to-morrow by Sir Edward
O'Brien, and the nomination will it is said, be se-
conded by a Roman Catholic gentleman. His rival
\yin be nominated by O'Gorman, and the nomina-
tion iecende Steele.
The inhabitants here are preparing for a general
illtiiithiation this evening, in honour of Mr. O'Con.
411, whose arrival is expected every hour.

DUBLIN, .MoNDAv.—We have just heard that a
third candidate, F. S. Butler, Esq. (a Protestant),
to be put in nomination against 111 r. Fitzgerald, to
intstira that gentleman's defeat, in case the objections
against Mr. O'Connell are valid. From Limerick
learn that the whole garrison of that city have
f'teived -orders.,to,held itself in readiness to march

Mr. Nicholas Purcell O'Gorman, Secretary to the
Catholics of Ireland, who was dressed in a green
coat, with white silk lining, the buttons being en-
graved with a shamrock, with the legend " Erin go

peasantry here the idea that the time is coming
When the people will be free.
While the horses were changing, an immense mul-
titude collected around Mr. O'Connell's carriage,
and would have taken the place of the animals in
drawing him through the town. However, lie re-
- monstrated with them, and after some observations
as to the handle their enemies, and the enemies of
their country, would take of all

They arrived in Nenagh, about 71 miles from
Dublin' ott Sunday morning, and were met by a ca-
valcadepf horsemen : the peasantry in their Sabbath
attrre /net Mr. O'Connell about a mile from Nenagh,
and accompanied him into the town. After break-
fasting at the hotel, Mr. O'Connell and his friends
'went to the Chapel to Mass. Afterwards the
Leader addressed the people from the foot of the
altar: he spoke at great length, and the cheers and
Shouts of approbation resounded through the build-
. nlg, and was caught by a numerous crowd outside..
lie called on, the people to assist by•their prayers in
the success of the great event, which was that week,
he anticipated, about to take place. He declared
his intention to poll the entire county, and stated,
that as far.as he could go, in a constitutional way,
he we•uld proceed in this great struggle for Inland
and freedom.
-Mr. O'Gorman subsequently addressed the
people. They afterwards set off for the county of
Clare, and were still accompanied by the horsemen.
They crossed the Shannon at O'Brien's Midge,
part of which town is the county of Clare, and here
on their first arrival, in what may be called the scene
of action, the most extraordinary spectacle of the day
was presented. The venerable Parish Priest, at the
head of about 5,000 of his flock, advanced arid met
the procession, which the Priest hailed with a degree
of enthusiasm that almost drew tears from Mr.
. O'Connell and the gentlemen who accompanied him.
From this place to Tulle, all in the county of
flare, they were met at every point and intersection
h roads by an accumulating multitude of all
vhlases, ages, and sexes. At Tulla a similar ovation
ttended them, and at this time there could not be
less than ten or twelve thousand persons assembled.
• Here, also Mr. O'Connell addressed the multitude

One day would show Vesey Fitzgerald how
hopeless were his
chances of success. He impressed
"" l'is hearers the necessity of preserving the peace,
and riot allowing their enemies to take advantage of
their folly. He did not wish to heat Vesey Fitzge-
rald but by his votes at the hustings.
-E'rorts, .SUNDAY MORNING:I have' a curious
fact to state, which at once evinces the determina-
tion of the Gentry to withstand the present attempt
of the Catholic Association to dictate to, or force a
representative on them. Sir Edward O'Brien, of
Dromoreland, who was for several Parliaments the
colleague of Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald in the represen-
tation of the county, came home expressly from
Dublin, on the first announcement of this extraor-
dinary contest. He has always been a friend to the
Catholics, and almost uniformly voted with the Op-
position. It was, therefore, deemed advisable by
the- Deputation from the Association, to, wait on the
wortlay.Baronet, to know what were his feelings on
the occasion. Sir Edward promptly told them, that
he -should give all his support. to Mr. Fitzgerald,
whatever were to be the consequences. This reply
has considerably 'chagrined the agitators who cal-
culated at least on the neutrality of Sir E. O'Brien.
Tbie latter has personally canvassed his own tenantry.
Yesterday Mr. Fitzgerald was also engaged in a
canvass. The freeholders, in some instances, were
insolent to the Right Hon. Gentleman. Such is
the state of things to which the present system of
excitement has brought a body of the peasantry,
which, with very few exceptions, has been obedient
to their, landlords, good tenants, and who, at the
time when the great insurrection of 1825 raged in
their immediate vicinity, Limerick, were compara-
tively speaking, calm and tranquil. The landlords
are, seemingly, afraid to speak to their tenants on
the subject of this election, arid it is to be appre-
hended that it will end in a total estrangement of all
their ties.
• 'After mass at the chapel, again this day, Mr.
Lawless, Mr. O'Gorman Mahon, Mr. Maurice
O'Connell, and Mr. Richard Scott addressed the
poodle; the great burthen of their entreaties was,
that the peace might not-be broken, and that during
the whole proceedings tranquillity might be pre.
served.
