having the cornucopia sculptured at the base ; and vines in
moss-covered vases on each side ; one loaded with green, and
the other with purple grapes.
The other compartments of the plateau both contained the
" Hesperides Candelabrum," of silver gilt ; vases of the same
precious metal, some filled with rare plants in flower, and others
with growing strawberries, elevated on circular pedestals of
silver gilt, having the shafts fluted and highly burnished, and
the bases engraved with royal arms. Vines were also placed at
either extremity of the table.
A number of beautiful ice-pails, modelled from Flaxman's
designs, greatly added to the splendour of the plateau, and
numerous candelabra of silver gilt, bearing wax-lights, illumi-
nated the banquet with great brilliancy.

THE CORK REPEAL BANQUET.
(Abridged from the Cork Examiner of Monday.)
In consequence of the lateness of the hour at which Mr. O'Con-
nell arrived in town on Sunday evening, it was arranged that the
addresses to be then presented to him should be held over till the
next day, at one o'clock, then to be presented in the Chamber of
Commerce, at which hour the large room was thronged with
county and city gentlemen, deputations, and inspectors. The at-
tendance of ladies was also large and fashionable.
The Mayor presented Mr. O'Connell with an address from the
corporation of Cork.
Mr. (O'CONNELL, after expressing his pleasure at receiving the
address, said—Let the man most disposed to despair or sink In
apathy open his eyes, and compare our position now with what it
was three years ago, and deny, if he can, that we made greater
progress in that time, and got over a greater space to the accom-
plishment of our object, than now remains to pass over.—
(Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) Eight millions of human
brings were never refused a request ; there is only one thing
that could mar us—that is, any act of criminality. But •
did you not see the hundreds of thousands that assembled yesterday,
the firmness and boldness with which they stepped forward, the
order and regularity f Did you not see the battalion of Amazons
from Kinsale, and where is the coward that would not fight in
such a cause ?—(Great cheering.) Yet, there is not a semblance
of fighting. The Duke of Wellington said we could not carry re-
peal by foes for the first time in my life I have the pleasure of
concurring with him.—(Laught:r.) I would not take repeal if I
got it by force ; and I justify that by telling the people of England
that anything that is attained by violence strikes at the root of all
social order and happiness, interferes with private life, and enters
into the family circle; prevents prosperity, and begets revolution,
violence, and anarchy, and all that species of mischief that results
from ill.conditioned society. The old adage said, " ill got, ill
gene."—(Laughter and cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman made suit-
able replies to the other addresses.
The levee terminated at half-past three o'clock.
THE BANQUET.
-

In the gallery more than 800 ladies were seated, all dressed In
full costume, 28 if at a ball. The application for tickets was equal
to twice the accommodation. The Mayor of Cork presided.
At the right side of the Chairman, who wore his official robes,
sat Mr. O'Connell, clad in the uniform of the 'B2 Club,and wearing
round his neck the aldermanic chain. Next to Mr. O'Connell sat
Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P. ; Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M P., in
the 'B2 uniform; Captain Broderick, and Richard Barrett, of the
Pilot, similarly attired, and Mr. Primrose. At the left side of the
chair were Sir Benjamin M. Wall, Mayor of Waterford, wearing
his robes over the 'B2 uniform; Thomas Steele, wearing the 'B2
uniform ; Sir Richard Musgrave, Bart., Ac.
The CHAIRMAN proposed The health of the Queen," which was
received with every demonstration of loyalty and affection.
The choir sang the National Anthem.
The Cita iR7dAK next gave "Prince AL'ert, the Prince of Wales,
and the rest of the Royal Family resident in England."
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M P., proposed " The people —the
Irish people."—(Vehement applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then, after a suitable eulogium, gave " The health
of their loved and admired Daniel O'Connell, the man of the
people."—(Tremendous cheers.)

Mr. O'C•rjtseLL said—l am literally una'ile to address you, and
that ircapacity did not commence in the overwhelming reception
with which you have greeted me, for it has lasted me through the
last 24 hours..—.(Hear.) My mind is absorbed in the delights of yes.
terday. Every faculty is wrapped up in admiration of the people
and the scene altogether. Oh, it was a splendid scene. What a
majestic assemblage, what an awful multitude, what a tremendous
collection of rational, sentient, tranquil, but determined people.
Oh, I pity the man that would not spend an hour in the delight of
contemplating such a scene. What brought that multitude loge.
ther ? Love of fatherland. What was their object P Liberty.—
(Hear and cheers.) What are their means ? Peace, order,
tranquillity, and determination.—(Cheers.) Oh, it was a ma.
jestic eceae. He who has not •iewed it can entertain no con-
ception of what it was; and he who has not seen it as I have,
labours in vain to trace the slightest picture of that majestic
assemblage of Irishmen panting to be free,—(Loud cheers.)
Do the Government understand us ? Look at the proceed-
ings, and trace the progress of the Maynooth Bill, a good
one in itself, and liberally granted ; but then we did not
ask for it.—(Laughter.) They have been debating with vigour
what yr eat things they have been doing for Ireland; but, like the
story of the country girl, when the fellow refused to marry her--
" Nobody asked you, Sir, she said." Sir R. Peel said " there was
a cloud in the west ;" it was only a small speck, but it might
soon expand into an immense thunder-storm, and lightning, hail,
and the thunderbolt might be scattered round. "Therefore," said
Peel, sagaciously, " we will meet the storm and hail and thunder.
bolt by a few additional pounds." Was there anything ever so
ridiculous P But it was a precious avowal, a kind confession, and
must have been good for the man's soul—that is, if anything can
be.—(Renewed laughter and cheering.) He admitted that there
was no getting a proper jury, and that he could not put us
down by law, as it was a "mockery, a delusion, and a snare."
We have come to that crisis; we have travelled halfway; we
have got through, as the children say, "the biggest half," and the
remainder depends on yourselves.—(Hear, hear.) I address each
of you, and I tell every man he has his country's liberty in his
hands, and if he chooses to rally she must be a nation.—(Cheers.)
The crime of continued servitude in Ireland rests on the man, no
matter how humble, who votes for any other than a repealer.
(Cheers.) There must be no working off with Federalism
(Cheers.) I know the principles of my excellent friend beside me
(Mr. D. Callaghan), and no person is more grateful for his friend-
ship ; and when he next stands for your city—as I trust he again
will—l hope he will be a repealer in practice as well as belief.
I want ne man to violate the tics of friendship; if he cannot give
us his voice, let him retire. These observations point to your
second Member; I own they do.—( Hear, hear.) It may be said
that if you compel him to advocate repeal, you will spoil his career

of legal eminence, for he is a man of first-rate talent, uniting the
qualities of integrity with learning, ability, and every other quail.

many men that might be inclined to go but half way will go the
entire way; and if the talented gentleman, the Member fur Cork,
throws himself into our ranks, I will help to bring him on my
shoulders in triumph, and return him with joy and acclamation
the repeal Member for Cork.—(Cheers.) I pledge myself if
he does not come forward at each election, that painful as it
