ABRIDGED FROM THE DUBLIN MOBBING REGISTER AND THE

PILZEMAN'S JOUILWAL.

At half put ten on Saturday, as the steam packet neared the harbour,
the town of Howth was deserted by its numerous visitors, who proceeded
to the Pier.road, along which there was an immense train of carriages,
horsemen, and pedestrians. From every vehicle orange and green ban.
Oen, with appropriate devices, were exhibited; and them was scarcely
an individual in the vast assemblage who did not wear orange and green
ribbons on a conspicuous part of his dress. The scene presented on this
memorable occasion was the most cheering and gratifying we have ever
beheld. Exactly at twelve o'clock the packet reached the harbour, and
the eager inquiry arose front all, "Ishe on board ?” For some mi.
nutes the people were in a painful state of suspense, until at length Mr.
O'Connell appeared on the deck, dressed in a cloak and travelling cap.
We have never witnessed such an exhibition of popular enthusiasm as
was here presented.

As soon as Mr. O'Connell stepped on shore, the acclamations of the
people were renewed. Those who stood nearest to the landing-place
congregated around him, sad " hands, with hearts in them," were held
forth to give pledges of undiminished seal and attachment. Three of
Mr. O'Connell's sons (Captain O'Connell, and Mesas. Maurice and
John O'Connell), who had been waiting his arrival from an early hour
in the morning, were soon in the affectionate embrace of their beloved
parent. With some difficulty Mr. O'Connell reached his carriage, on
the dickey of which he took his seat beside his eldest son, and a procea
sion having been hastily formed, the cavalcade proceeded at a rather
rapid pace towards town. An open chariot, in which were the corn.
mina of the St. Bridget's Orphan Charity, headed the procession. It
was drawn by four beautiful grey horses. In front were exhibited three
banners, green, white, and pink. On one of them was insaibed,
elegantly executed in letters of gold,—" The Saint Bridget's Or-
phan Charity, or Lyons School, Daniel O'Connell, Esq. M. P.
President."
As the procession moved along, it rapidly increased in numbers, and
Mr. O'Connell was loudly cheered by crowds collected in the fields on
the road aide.

Immediately behind Mr. O'Connell's carriage was an open chariot
drawn by four horses, decorated with rosettes of green and orange, and
the drivers having rosettes in their hats, in which were Mr. Robert
ii'hite and several other gentlemen—a long cavalcade followed. Next
came the trades, headed by Marcus Costello. This gentleman wore
a silk sub, on which was the following inscription :—" The trades of
Dublin • sub hoc signo Hibernia vincit'—the union of orange and green
will repeal the Union." After followed the Trades in regular proces-
sion, each man carrying a wand, ornamented with green and orange rib-
bons. Slowly, gradually, and with the greatest difficulty, however,
was the procession, from the number of those who took part in it, able
to proceed : some idea of the difficulties of this awful army of patriots
may be gained from the fact, that it was a quarter past four when the
hindmost trade was marching from Hollybrook, and it was five before
it had reached Annealey Bridge.
About three o'clock, and shortly after the trades had taken up their
position, ten a breast. on the road leading into town, General Sir John
Byng, accompanied by his Aide-de-Camp, and two orderlies, passed
along the line of trades, and was received with every demonstration of
respect, which he repeatedly acknowledged. The trades, in pursuance
of the attarigement agre.:d upon at the preparatory meetings, ranged
themselves 1., the order cf precedence assigned by ballot to each, headed
by their respective chairmen and woitarim every man displaying on
hls person some fanciful Ina appropriate decoration, but invariably com-
bating the hitherto advev•e emblems--orange and green, and preceded by
banners, with national devices splendidly executed; amongst those
nt' which we were es#.led to obtain a distinct view, were the pipemakers
• tid-rin,d with orange and green, bearing the motto,
"lead male falls." al.:1 "%Lai kernerly love continue ;" the men wear-

bon ; and on either side of the grand banner was a smaller one, with
the mottos--* The glorious and immortal memory of the Irish Vo-
lunteers," and the harp in the centre—" Repeal of the Union, and
Daniel O'Connell, Esquire, M.P. our advocate, for ever " The Sad.
lees—Banner, orange, and green, trimmed with green fringe—motto,
"Repeal of the Union ;" the officers bearing wands decorated with
broad orange, and green and white ribbons. The Coopers—Banner,
bearing the Coopers' Arms, surmounted by the motto, " Repeal of
the I Talon, and Daniel O'Connell, M.P." on the reverse, "The man
of the people. We have taken your paternal advice—obedience to the
laws—reconcilistion with our brethren of every creed—perseverance in
the pursuit of our rights—loyalty to our King, and Erin go Inagh en.
graved on our hearts, with Repeal of the Union." The banner was
surmounted with an effigy of Mr. O'Connell, on which was appro-
priately placed a sash of green ribbon tied with green. The motto was,
we understand, the composition of a journeymen cooper, named John
Ray. The Tailors--The chairman, Mr. John Ennis, decorated with
the Order of Liberators, carried a white silk Hag, with the arms of the
trade, beautifully executed, and a banner bearing the inscription,
"grin halls with joy the return of her dearest son, Daniel O'Con-
nell." The Silversmiths—Banner, with Goldsmiths' Arms on one
side, and on the other Daniel O'Connell, Esq. M.P. with two half
length arms, green annd orange cuffs, the hands in the grasp of friend-
ship, and underneath a scroll—" Quis separabit ?" and " lead
male failte"—the membua of the trade each having an O'Con-
nel medal suspended by orange and green ribbons. The Horse-
shoers—a splendidly executed banner, white ground, with orange and
green banner ; motto, " All hail, Erin's agitator, her glory, and her
liberator." The Ropemakera—a magnificent tricoloured flap orange,
green, and white, with gold trimming • the beautiful combination of
colours, in the richest tabinet, produced a most pleasing and striking
effect ' • the chairman was girted with a hempen sash, tied by orange and
green ribbons. The Carpentas--banner white, with orange and green
border, bearing the Royal arms ; hands united, surmounting the motto

assertor of the rights of Ireland and liberator of mankind ;" the chair.
I man, Mr. Martin, decorated with an O'Connell medal, suspended by
orange and green ribbons. The Slaters—a beautiful green and white
banner, bound with rich orange and green fringes ; on one side the
motto, gold letters, " The Staten," and arms of the trade, superbly
executed in gold and silver ;at bottom, " Repeal of the Union ; the
reverse, " O'Connell and Ireland for ever." The Leatherdressers—
banner, white ground, fringed tastefully with orange and green, with
arms of the trade; motto, * Praise GOD for all," and " King William
the Fourth and Independence." The Brieklaers—banner borne by
two members of that corporation; green silk, elegantly decorated with
gold and silver fringe ; on one side the arms of the trade, beautifully
emblazoned ; at the bottom, " Incorporated 1670 ;" also two smaller
banners of the same colour and fringes, bearing in the centre thilelpiz of
Erin and Irish arms ; at bottom, in superb gold letters, " of
the Union ;" and on the reverse, " King William the Fourth and In-
dependence of Ireland." Mr. O'Connell having arrived at the head of
the trades nearest town, was addressed by Mr. Costello, in brief but
congratulatory terms on his return to Ireland, which Mr. O'Connell
warmly acknowledged, and proceeded nn to town, followed by the
trades. About six o'clock, the shouts and joyous greetings of thou-
sands rent the air, and announced that Mr. O'Connell had reached his
house, and the trades having formed into line opposite his windows, the
Honourable Gentleman shortly afterwards appeared at the balcony,
from which he addressed the people to the following effect t—
" No language can express the unutterable feelings which at this mo-
ment overpower me. Fatigued and exhausted as I am, this reception
invigorates and refreshes me : for I see my generous countrymen assent.

not put down the Irish people. Lord Anglesey is a generous and chi-
vairous man; he bowed to the united voice of Ireland before, and the
united voice of Ireland will make him bow to it again. (Cheers.) It
is useless for Lord Anglesea or the Duke of Leinster to think to stop
the current of public opinion in Ireland. (Cheers.) I told you be-

deceive you P (Cheers.) I told you that proudas Wallington of Wa.

The crowd now began to disperse, and the trades retired in order—
each trade, as it passed the balcony, presenting its banner and cheer.
Mg. Various parts of the city were illuminated during the night. In
Thomas-street large bonfires were lighted ; several houses in Skinner.
row were illuminated, and several of the quays. It is most satifactory
to think that no accident of any kind has occurred. Thus passed
away this great national demonstration—but it has left its impression
behind.

On Monday evening, about the time of high water, Wil-
liam Wheeler, a lighterman, in the employ of Mr. Ray-
meat, coal merchant, of Bankside, while rowing a boat up
the river, near London Bridge, was run down by a sailing
barge, which capsized the little bark, and immersed the
poor fellow in the stream. He struggled for some time to
save himself, but owing to the strength of the current near
the bridge, he sank, and was drowned before assistance
could be rendered. The body has not been found.—Tues-
day morning John Reeves, a lighterman, in the employ of
Mr. Duncan, granary keeper, of Horseleydown, was towing
one of his master's craft off that place, when, owing to the
frost, and the slippery state of the barge, be fell from the
side, and was immediately carried under its bottom, and
drowned. The body was found a few hours afterwards in
the mud, with his legs broken, and otherwise much dis-
figured, from its coming in contact with the barge. The
corpse of the unfortunate man was taken ashore to a
public-house, for the Coroner's Inquest.
