DEATH OF MR. O'CONNELL

Th:re seems to be now no doubt that Daniel O'Connell
is no more. We take the following from Galignani's
Messenger, (Paris paper,) of Saturday:—

Some account of the closing scenes of the life of an
individual who has filled so remarkable a position in the

world as Daniel O'Connell., must prove interesting to the
generality of the readers of the Messenger, and I there-
fore,•as an English physician, called in to attend him,
take leave to lay before you the following statement :
On Monday, May 10, I saw Mr: O'Connell for the first

use and invo-

pressure, strong rapid pulse, flushed 'face, &c. Mr.
O'Connell had also chronic bronchitis of some years'

toms were much ameliorated, and on the morrow he
seemed convalescent. But from Mr. O'Connell's
great repugnance to swallow even the most simple

the new symptom of congeStion of the brain pre-
sented itself. Active measures were immediately had
recourse to, and from them there was a decided improve-

the evening of Wednesday, the 12th, the symptoms in-
creased, Mr. O'Connell was restless, and sometimes
slightly incoherent. Our former measures were again
employed, but with slight success. During Thursday all

with Dr. Beretta, of this place, and a young French phy-
sician, who had accompanied him from Lyons,. and, on
the day preceding his demise, we had the advantage of
consulting with pr. ViViani,- the - oldest practitioner of
Genoa, and of high repute: By his advice, and as a last
resource, a further application of leeches to the temples
was advised, but all. was in vain ; he expired last'night at
half-past nine o'clock (p.m.) apparently suffering Mt'
