The following is. Mr. O'Connell's letter :
" Trafalgar Hotel, Spring-gardens, March 1, 1844.
"My dear Ray,—NO person can imagine that my delay in
England is attribittable to anything else than the impossibi-
lity of my declining to accept that other proof of English
sympathy evinced by the invitation to a public dinner, which
invitation you will have seen in the newspapers. lam ex-
ceedingly anxious to reconcile the people of both countries
towards each other. From the aristocratic classes we can
expect no support, and the Chartists have still less sympathy
with us than the oligarchy. But the middle classes—the'
sound substantial middle classes ofEngland—appear to me to
be strongly impressed with the injustice done to us, and with
the necessity of vindicating the purity of trial by jury.
There is a generous kindliness among them, of which I have
daily and hourly instances, and render me exceedingly
anxious, for a perfect conciliation between the wise and the
good in both countries. It is emphatically our duty to pro-
mote this conciliation, and also to promote all measures
tending to ameliorate the institutions of England as well as
of Ireland. If the friends of humanity and justice in England
hadu sufficient share of political power, much good might be
done for Ireland; but alas! that power lias centred in a
bigoted and selfish .aristocrat,.,the hereditary enemies of
liberality, and in ofThet Irish people:: The Chartists,
uuhapPilY2AN at great ugh to the aristocracy, by enabling
the otigatvity to preserve power in. their hands. And although
the Chartists arenot numerous, yet they are active, and sutll-
dent in number to disturb public meetings, and check the
development of public opinion but, let not tl4i for ono mo-
ment make us lose sight of the nehle generosity with which
all the litalthy Portiou a English society has on this occasion
shown its ayttiptitliy with the Irish people.
" But, I repeat, power is in other hands, and therefore
there is no prospect of-relief or redress of Irish k;.-rievances,

may call the ptEcultsort state, declaring positively that they
_will assist 41 'the Repeal' if the present Government per-
severe in ii,s, present impolicy with regard to Ireland; and, as
such perseverance is certain, I reckon upon having much
English assistance, even before this session is over, in advo-
cating repeal.
I am sorry to see by the papers that some individuals
coutltenanee,the caltunxties of our enemies, by insinuating the
intention to abandont_he repeal agitation—that our enemies

sisted, but utterly futile -in the case of a persevering non-
resistance. Even in actual military affairs a sand-bag is a

HAMBURGH MAIL
HArantincH, MARCH I.—We have no accounts of the
King of Sweden later than the 16th,. The Stockholm
mails of the 20th and 23d are still due.
COPENHAGEN, FEB. 24.—The Swedish and Nor-
wegian mails of the 20th of this month have not yet
arrived; they have been hindered from crossing the
Sound by the floating ice.
RUSSIA, FEB. 24.—1 t is said that the mitigation of
the Emperor of Russia's ukase, for the removal of the
Jews, has been made at the instance of the King of
Prussia and the Grand Duke of Hesse.
BERLIN, FEB. 27.—According to accounts from War-
saw, very great regret is felt there for the loss which
the kingdom will suffer by the retirement of Prince
Paskewitsch, who is on the point of quitting his high
Post ; he will go abroad for a considerable term, and
afterwards have another appointment. The regret is
the more serious at this change because of the hu-
mane character of the Prince, who on all occasions
showed indulgence and forbearance, rather than employed
vigorous measures. Under these circumstances he is,
however, sure of the esteem of his Emperor, who knows
the excellent heart, as well as the military talent, of the
General. It is now expected at St. Petersburgh that a
new Minister of War will be appointed in the room of
General Czerntscheff, who is to go to Warsaw as
Go vernor- G eneral.

HANOVER, FEB. 28.—The Estates of the kingdom are
convoked for 21st of March. The principal matters
that will be brought before them are of a financial
nature, but they are so numerous that it is thought the
Assembly will have to sit till late in the summer.

DEATH BY HYDROPHOBIA.—A more melancholy
instance of death by hydrophobia we have never heard than
- that which we have unhappily to notice. The victim was
Miss Anna Delacour, eldest daughter of the respected trea-
surer of the county, Mr. James Delacour, of Sunny-hill.
She was in her 18th year, would have completed it, indeed,
on the Ist of May. She had, unfortunately, a pet dog, and
remarking about the end of January that the dog did not
seem well, she asked her father to look at him. He did so,
and on commanicating.with an uncle of the young lady, they
Suspected that the animal was mad ; but, without imparting
their suspicion to Miss Delacour, they said they would put
him into a warm bath. On hearing this, the nature of the
malady seems_to have struck her, for she instantly observed,
my lip, and there is a slight sore on I .Uhe dog, on ay,
" If the dog is mad, it is all over with me, for he has

however, she became indisposed, and Dr. W. Gat-
way,

a me&ienger was dispatched to Cork for Dr. Edward Towns-
end, who had been in attendance on the other invalid. About
5 or 6 o'clock in the evening the character of the malady was
'unequivocally displayed. Paroxysms came on, recurring
from 'time to time with great violence, until half-past 3um
Thursday
