MR. DANIEL O'CONNELL'S VISIT TO

LIVERPOOL.

Mr. O'Conhell arrived here on Wednesday morning, by the
Dublin •mail-packet, at about seven o'clock. At the George's
Pier, we understand, it was industiiiously. circulated among the
few bystanders, who had assembled to witness his debarkation
from the steamer, that he was not on board the vessel. He was the last
person who landed, and he hurried off to the Adelphi Hotel, and,
after taking some refreihment, from thence to the house of Mr.
Justice William Rathbone, at Green Bank.
That the great man was really in Liverpool was, however,
soon pretty generally known throughout the town, and by mid-
day the classic regions of Ben Johnson-street, Crosby-street,
Thomas's-street, Atherton-street, Bent-street, Addison-street,
Harrison-street, North-street, Lace-street, Chisenhale-street,
and divers other places, lanes, and alleys in the district of
Vauxhall-road were emptied of their most fashionable inhabi-
tants. Thus it will be seen that the elite of the natives of Ire-
land, who are occupied here as lumpers and hodinen, were on
the alert, in some instances accompanied by their ladies, in
order to join the standard of their different chapels or associa-
tions, and meet with due .reverence and respect, as all "here
ditary bondsmen" should do, their liege lord. As no official
announcement had been made as to the precise time and place
when and where Mr.. O'Connell would receive their homage,
much anxiety and indeed confusion prevailed as to where his
vassals should congregate.- However, at last placards which
appeared in various parts of the town announced the glad
tidings, that the great radical idol would appear before his wor-
shippers and explain the cause of his first appearance in Liver-
pool from the balcony of the Adelphi Hotel.
To the front of the Adelphi then marched the Irish brigade,
with their banners flying, and their bands playing " Erin go
Bragh," and various other soul inspiring airs. As early as
half-past twelve o'clock some two or three thousand persons had
assembled at this point, and by one o'clock the crowd became
exceedingly dense, indeed at this period all the streets leading
thereto poured their streams into that reservoir, the open space
in the front of the building. For some time-previous to O'Con-
nell's appearance on the balcony the crowd became impatient
to gain a sight of the great man; cries indicating that feeling
vrere now and then heard, but, upon the whole, the crowd was,
although a ragged, a very peaceable one. Some time after
the appointed time for the appearance of Daniel, his trumpet-
major, Mr. Justice-of-the-peace. William Rathbone, appeared on
the balcony, and was received, as so great a peace-preserver.
should be received, with all the honours that a mob can bestow.
videlicit, all the noise some six or seven thousand throats could.
make. Silence having been obtained, Mr. Justice Rathbone
screamed out, "Gentlemen,—have the goodness to remove the
banners, because they intercept a view of the balcony." This
request, or rather mandate, was as speedily as possible obeyed.
At this time most of the shopkeepers in Ranelagh-street deemed
it prudent to close up their windows. We may perhaps differ with
our contemporary of this day in our estimate of the number of per,
sons assembled together at. this period, but assuming the distance
from the front of the hotel to the opposite buildings to be sixty
yards, and the end of the house next to Renshaw-street to be
about eighty or ninety yards distant from the upper end of Ra•
nelagh-street, we imagine that eight thousand is the greatest
number of persons, or "individuals," if drat be the more ap.
proved word, that could be stowed away within such a space.

THE NOR I'HERN HOSPITAL.

The second annualreport submitted to the subscribers
of this excellent institution has just been published. We
transcribe that interesting document in the hope that it
will be read with attention, and induce a more extended
support of the charity.
In appearing before the subscribers and the public with the
Second Annual Report of the Liverpool Northern Hospital,
the committee have, in the first place, to congratulate them
upon the important character which that institution has as-
sumed among the charities of the town, and upon its increas-
ing usefulness and value k nor can they refrain from the expres-
sion of their own gratification on the views and intentions set
forth in the original prospectus having been so far justified and
attained.
The committee conceive that they cannot bring the merits
and necessities of this institution fully and fairly before the pub-
lic, without again adverting to their prospectus, issued in
March, 1833, in which reference was made, and proof adduced,
of the inadequacy of the Infirmary singly "to meet the wants
of a rapidly increasing ppulation residing in a district princi-
pally and densely inhabited by die labouring classes, and far
distant from it," and, consequently, accommodation for fifty
patients was contemplated at the northern end of the town, to
meet, as was therein expressed, a "present necessity."
The accommodation first intended was afterwards limited, for
want of room, to thirty-three beds, and four have since been
added, so that thirty-seven patients, of all kinds, is the extreme
number that can now possibly be received, and more than can
be either satisfactorily or properly accommodated, in the hos-
pital.
The committee have, therefore, at this early day, to report
the inadequacy of this scale of hospital relief to the northern
district of Liverpool, and that it has been with the greatest,re-
luctance they have been frequently compelled, not only toldis.:
charge many convalescent patients sooner than they could hare
wished, but also, to refuse several times in the course of the
year, severe accidents and acute cases, for want of vacant beds
to receive them; and so continuous has this influx of patients
been, that the medical gentlemen have at times been under
apprehensions of disease in the hospital, arising from its crowd-
ed state; and it ha' been scarcely possible to find opportunities
of whitewashing and purifying the wards.
To obviate evils of this inaguitude the committee have thought
it their duty to take measures to increase the accommodation,
and consider themse ves fortunate in having been able to pro-
cure the adjoining ho e, upon which they hope to enter imme-
diately ; and, as this- be accomplished at a small expense of
outlay, and will cont. - hirty beds, it is expected that any fur-
ther application to the üblic upon the ground of enlargement
will be for sometime unnecessary ; but, as the committee will
be thus enabled so greatly to extend the hospital's sphere of
usefulness, so is it indispensable that the means placed at their
disposal should be proportionably increased. They make this
renewed appeal to the friends of suffering humanity with even
greater confidence than the original one; because, in that, the
necessity of the case might have been, by some, supposed to be
misconceived or magnified, the results miscalculated, or the be-
nefits problematical; nor could it be wholly divested of the
doubtfulness of au experiment; but it must now be acknow-
ledged, upon the consideration of the statement of cases an-
nexed, that all that might have been heretofore considered prob-
lematical or visionary in respect of this hospital, has vanished,
and it takes its place from this time among the standard chari-
ties of Liverpool; its extension, therefore, to a full measure of
usefulness, has a claim eyA,superior to that of its original esta-
blishment: and the cominithke feel assured that that claim will
be met in a manner commensllantte to the value and importance
of the objects to be attained.
Before proceeding to the genlral return of patients for the
year 1835, the committee desire to draw attention to the cha-
racter and severity of many of the accident cases occurring in
the immediate neighbourhood, several of which have been be-
yond the power of surgical treatment, when admitted. They
refer to smite dreadful casualties in these hopeless circumstances,
and to two out of eight cases of suspended animation, by im-
mersion in water. The other six, as also two cases of suffoca-
tion in a ship's hold, and two attempted suicides, were restored;
and the public will learn, with coins surprise, that the accident
cases of the year 1835, received into this hospital, exceed in
number one-half of those admitted into St. Thomas's Hospital,
London, during the same time, and it is most in repute of any'
of the London hospitals for this class of patients.
The total number of cases received amount to 402, of which.
the medical cases are 108, and the accidents arid surgical 291,
being an increase in the latter class of 71 over the previous
year; an incontestible proof of the usefulness of the hospital,
and the necessity for its immediate enlargement.
The cooonitte feel that they should weaken their powerful
case were they to lengthen this report by any further arguments
appealing, to the charitable feelings of their townsmen. The
facts above stated need only to be reflected on to show that a
due proportion of the copious stream of public charity, which
spreads, itself through the town, cannot be batter applied than
for the maintenance and enlargement of the Northern Hospital.
They cannot, however, conclude this report without. making
their acknowledgments to such of the clergy who have, on
several occasions, Materially henefitted the hospital by power-
fully urging its claims on the liberality of their congregations;
and also for the very liberal donations of several individuals,
the particulars of which will be found recorded in the annexed

A few minutes after Mr. Justice Rathbone's appearance on
the balcony, he appeared a second time to usher on, as fluster
of the ceremonies, Daniel himself, who presented himself before
the multitude habited in a travelling cloak, his head covered with
a shabby green cloth cap, encircled with a rather tarnished gold
band. The cap, like the man, looked as if it had seen some service,
both being somewhat time-worn and greasy. The cheering was of
course loud and vehement, but a great noise was made in the
room leading to and on the balcony, and did not appear to extend
over the whole mass of the assembly over whose heads he stood.
Silence was soon obtained, and Mr. O'CoNsiELL spoke as
follows :

I deeply regret that I have been compelled to disappoint my-
self of the pleasure and 'satisfaction of corning to town along
with you. (Cheers.) If I could by possibility have anticipated
that. it would have been in my power to arrive so early, 1 should

people of Liverpool. (Laughter and cheers.) The Wiles say

alive to laugh at them. We forgive them all now, and pity
them a little for the peculation they have lost, the plunder that
has been taken away from them, and because (the greatest evil
that can happen to the roguishly-inclined) honest men get their

if l should some day find myself a king, give we for my cue
mies your plain-spoken, straightforward fellows, that can look

Sandon exclaimed, "Heaven forbid that he should countenance
peculation, or bribery, or anything of that kind." The quaker,
when the dog barked suspiciously at him, said, " Heaven for-
bid, my poor dog, that I should hurt thee;" but lie cried out
"Mad dog !" and the animal was soon despatched. (A laugh.)
Sandon is the reverse of this. He does not like peculation and
bribery, but he will take care that no inquiry is made ;oto
" Heaven forbid that we should be too vice. Fur what might
turn out ? It might be 'proved that a thousand freemere had
been bribed by means of a turning-locker, potting their ticket
fir one-side and taking out their money at the other,"
(Laughter and enthusiastic cheering.) Such a discovery might
have been a bad thing for Sandon. Why do I wention him ?
First, because I like to have a laugh. at him, and rest, because
it is a shame and a disgrace for Liverpool. while smelling Mr.
Ewart to do good to allow ,Sandon to go and do mischief. Is
there any English common sense in this ? Nut the least. The
Irish arc said to commit blunders, but they never «).n,iiitteri a
Islander of this kind. In Ireland one and one make but in
Liverpool one and one make nothing—(much laughter)-for
while
,Ewart votes honestly for the people, Sandon, the Mous,
votes dishonestly for the tones. So that the one and one just
strike against one another and make nothing. Liverpool, iu
fact, is not represented at all; the bad so equally weighs with.
' the good, that nothing is the result. I hope the people of Li-
verpool will look to this—(we will.) I tell you to discoun-
tenance men who vote badly, and turn a cold shoulder to the
freemen who pocketed the pelf and voted for Lord Sandon.
There is in the public mind a discountenancing power which
would soon give the true direction to the energies of the peo-
ple. This power is seen in Ireland. There the franc hise is
very restricted, but the honest men do not speak to the dis-
honest voter, the women do not look at him. (Loud cheers.)

tell a lie,—don't they? (" Yes, yes!" and cheers.) One
shout, then, for "Down with the Tories!" (Applause.) And
now in point of common sense ought they not to be put down ?
They put in their own pockets the public property. They in-
crease taxation to have more plunder. They deprive the ,peo-
ple of their franchise that they may exercise more despotic
power; they hypocritically invoke religion ; and inflame one
sect against another in the name of the Girl of charity. [Mov-

SHIPWRECK AND MASSACRE OF THE CREW.

We formerly copied a paragraph from a Liverpool paper,
respecting the disastrous fate of an English brig, the crew of
which, with the exception of one man, had been murderel off
Salinas, the usual station of the pilots of the River of Para; and
stated that Sir E. Home, the Captain of his Maj estv's ship Race-
horse, was about to proceed to Para to investigate the circum-
stance. It now appears that Captain Reid, of the schooner Clio,
of Montrose, and his crew, were the unfortunate individuals on
whom the savages had wreaked their fury. The following mel-
ancholy particulars are contained in a letter from St Louis de
Maranhani, dated October 21:—" Deceived by the land signals,
which announced that a pilot was in waiting but had no boat to
proceed on board, the Captain sent ashore his mate and four
men, who were massacred by the Indians the moment they
landed on the coast. These savages then, profiting by the dark-
ness
of the night, surprised the rest of the crew, who, not suspect-
' ing any treachery, thought that the boat was returning with •
their comrades and a pilot. All the crew were put to death, and
the brig, being brought close to the shore, was unloaded and
sunk. The Clio had on board 4()00 muskets and a large quantity
of gunpowder, which will enable the insurgents to offer a long
resistance to the troops that might be marched against them from
Rio Janeiro. A s soon as that catastrophe was known here, time
British corvette Racehorse made herpreparations to depart, and
will sail to-morrow for Para. The captain declares he will force
the blockade, if he is not allowed to go and bring the revolters,
still masters of the town, to an account for the horrid murder
of the crew of the Montrose schooner Clio." A private letter
received by the owner at Montrose, contains the following :
"The Rival is just arrived from Maranham, and brings a little
information. The Racehorse had succeeded in getting the sec-
ond mate of the Clio, the only person saved : other two made
their escape with him, but where drowned in crossing a river.
All the rest *ere murdered ; the vessel plundered and scuttled.
The Racehorse was still at Para: when she returns, more par-
ticulars will be known and transmitted to you."--Morning Her-

We feel unfeigned sorrow in communicating to our readers
the following affecting staterne•rt of the loss of the ship Bride,
Captain Bennett, on her passage from Miramithi to this port,
and the loss of most of the crew. It has been ,received—by
Messrs. Wilson, Hudson, and Co., in a postscript to a letter
received from Captain Wharton, of the Swift, of this port, dated
Rotte tr, January 19, 1836:—" I have opened my letter to
ounce the appalling intelligence of the loss of the Bride, of
Hull, with twelve of the crew. The survivors are the carpenter
and James Russel. Captain Bennett died fifteen days previous
to the vessel being fallen in with. The sufferers on board were
then in such a state as not to be able to take hold of a rope
thrown to them; they had been twenty-one days on the wreck,
and had sustained life by knawing from time to time the dead
bodies of their shipmates, and drinking salt water. The vessel
with the survivors has arrived in the Texel from Cuba."—Hull
Gazette.

Asmovsa.—The Town Council met on Thursday, and decid-
ed on retaining the sessions, and petitioning his Majesty for the
appointment of a Recorder. 'A motion was made for the de-
struction of the corporation pew in the church, by Mr. C. Mundy,
seconded by Mr. Mortimer- but the Dissenters in the council
having handsomely declined to vote on the question, and the
rest c f the body reprobating the measure, it was withdrawn as
hastily as it was introduced.—Hampshire Chronicle.
ORIGIN OF TAR NEWSPAPER STAMP.—So important were
these libellous publications deemed, that the Queen (Anne)
concludes one of her messages to praliainent by representing
the licentiousness of the press. She is made to declare that,
by seditious papers and factious rumours, designing men have
been able to sink credit, and the innocent have suffered; and
she leconunends the house to find a remedy equal to the mis-
chief. In obedience to the Queen's desire, and at the instance
of her secretary, the parliament passed a bill (1712-13) imposing
a stamp upon pamphlets and periodical publications—the origin
of the present newspaper stamp. At its origin the amount of
this stamp was only a halfpenny ; and it is curious to observe
what an effert this trifling impost had upon the circulation of
the most favourite papers. l‘lany were entirely discontinued,
and several of those which survived were generally united into
one publication. The bill operated in a directly contrary man-
ner to what the ministers had anticipated; for the opposition,
who had more leisure, and perhaps more acrimony of feeling,
were unanimous in the support of their cause. The adherents
of ministers, who were by no means behind the opposition in
their proficiency in the topic of defamation, were, it seems, not
so strenuously supported; and the measure thus chiefly de-
stroyed those whom it was Bolingbroke's interest to protect.
The insufficiency of his expedient soon became apparent to
himself, and we find from his correspondence, that Bolingbroke
was often employed in prosecuting the printers of those papers
which were most violent against him.--Cook's Life of Boling-
brotc.
