MR. O'CONNELL'S FIRST APPEARANCE.
" HARPS OR HEADS."
THE TRIBUTE OR AGUATIOY.
(Frain the Dublin Evening Mail.)
The return of Mr. O'Connell to his native land is
to be signalized to-day by a meeting of his constitu-
ents at the Corn Exchange, called by the honourable
gentleman for the purpose of rendering an account of
bis stewardship, and organising a menacing agitation,
and a new reign of terror. Were it not for the re-
cent demonstration at Cork, and the intelligible allu-
sions made by the Northern Whig,* and others of the
radical press, to the late democratic proceedings at
Birmingham, we should look upon this parade as a
prelude to the collection of the annual tribute. In
this idea, too, we should be fairly borne out by the
Freeman of this morning, which, in noticing the in-
tended meeting, does not fail to call public attention
to the merits and sacrifices of the lion of the day :

" He was offered (quoth our contemporary) and [he] refused
the highest judicial office to which, as a catholic, he is eligible.
The Chief Baronship of the Exchequer was within his grasp.
It was offered and intended as a fitting reward for a life of la-
borious exertion ; but he felt that his country required his
services in another capacity. He believed that he could be
more useful as an advocate than as a judge, and therefore it
was that he sacrificed rank, and station, and emolument, with-
out hesitation and without regret."

The meeting, however, may serve the double pur-
pose of recruiting the [King'st] exhausted exchequer,
and exciting the Queen's subjects to revolutionary
enterprises.
Here is the proclamation :
"TO MY CONSTITUENTS.

"I respectfully solicit a nleetinioTniconstituttots at the
Corn Exchaug!, this day, (the 15th instant) at half-after one
11410ek, to receive from me a statement of the manner in which
tibiae endeavoured to perform my duty to them during the
closing session, and to consider of ulterior measures to pro-
cure from the British legislature full justice for Ireland,' or
to provide for the contingency of a perseverance in the refusal
of that legislature to right the people of Ireland.
" Your faithful servant.
"DANIEL O'CONNELL.
"N.B.—To prevent inconvenient pressure, a charge of One
Shilliogeach will be made at the door for admission.
"a' Gallery free for Ladies exclusively.
"T. M. RAY."

This ordinance, unlike Lord Durham's, may be le-
gal for what we know : it will, like the tithe gather-
ings, be construed so at the Castle. But the menaced
provision for " contingencies" sounds in our ears very
like sedition. If it involve, as we are informed it
does, a resolution to he agreed upon for a preparatory
Institution for Repeal of the Union, in case Justice
be not done to Ireland, our hearing has not deceived
us; and we add, that if it had not the same effect upon
the tympanum of the multitude, very few would pay
their shilling at the door, for listening to the mounte-
bank prating of his whereabout.
But, appropos of the Tribute, what is this we hear
about Caberciveen

" A vein of rich copper ore," says the Castle gazette, "has
been discovered upon the property of Mr. O'Connell, at
Ca herciseen."
The worthy proprietor had a stock of brass before
sufficient to form the capital of an assurance company,
Being now so well supplied with the coppers, we cal-
culated he will henceforth dispense with the coppers
of the poor ; and that the ragged man will not be
called upon for his halfpenny, and the starving man
for his threehalfpence to swell the coffers of the pro-
prietor of the Caherciveen copper mines—" thus add-
ing his store of little"
" To that which had already had too much."
_v
\ e understand that the Chancellor of the Irish
Exchequer speculates on an issue of copper money
rivalling Wood's halfpence in celebrity—and equal-
ling, at least in value,
" the brass money of the last
Popish Monarchy.”
