our excerpta for the answer, we take up one, which;
from the pointed and appropriate slap at the rival pre.
cursor, we suppose to be the right one.
" Much does, indeed," saws his excellency, with an
obvious allusion to the "Hereditary Bondsmen," &c.
"Much does, indeed, at this moment depend upon your-
selves—for, whilst it is the undoubted privilege of freemen to
petition the throne and the parliament for any legitimate ob-
ject, it is by an avoidance of any unseemly change in the tone
—any untimely alteration in the nature of your demands—it is
by a steady perseverance in the course you have hitherto pur-
sued that the Royal favour may best be confirmed—public
sympathy in Great Britain actively developed, and, as a ne-
cessary consequence of the last, that legislative recognition
of the principle of equal rights obtained on which all just ex-
pectations for the future may be founded, and, by general
concurrence, a perfect union be thus established on an im-
perishable basis.'
But we must attend the Master Viceroy on his
southern progress.

MR. O'CONNELL'S TOUR.
MOUNT MELLERAY, LISMORE, AND CORK.
A southern correspondent informs us of Mr. O'Con-
nell's recent arrival at Mount Melleray, and of the au-
sterities imposed upon him by the silent brethren of
La Trappe. The penance on the honourable penitent
is particularly severe. His meals were restricted to a
single turkey pout, with the et ceteras—he wore a
haircloth shirt—over his waistcoat—lashed his brawny
shoulders, much after the manner of Sancho Panza, to
the hideous disembarcation of several lusty oaks, and
walked upon his bare knees several times a day upon
the cushions and mats provided for that purpose in the
oratory. Thousands of the peasantry assembled to see
his method of digging a grave for himself, and swore
they had got a lesson on Whiteboyism which they
would not forget during the next parson-shooting sea-
son. Everybody admired the "death's head and cross
bones" which he erected as the model for such imple-
ments at the next general election. It is currently
believed, by the credulous, that the honourable peni-
tent has intimated to the monks his probable intention
f ending his days within their holy precincts, and as
a member of their order—but not until he shall have
witnessed the regeneration of his country, and spoken
out all he had to say in this world—namely, his last
words and dying speech.
From Mount Melleray the honourable gentleman
proceeded on Saturday, in company with Mr. Villiers
Stuart, to Lismore, where, in perfect keeping with his
religious practices, he delivered a most inflammatory
harangue on the established church and the repeal of
the union ; and we next find him in Cork (on the
Monday following) making up for his lenten enter-
tainment at the Monastery, on a half-boiled turbot and
some whisky punch, and delivered, by way of grace, a
refacciamento of all his former sedition. There is
nothing in his speech on this occasion so differing from
the usual tenor of his harangues as to require particu-
lar comment, except the compliment he has paid to the
land proprietors and his treatment of the non consump-
tion club. The latter he altogether burked, and of the
former he says:—
" He had shifted Whiteboyism from rags and friezes to
Whiteboyism in broad cloth. He promised them that from
Moor Park to Bantry they would no longer see Peep o'-day-
Boys, but in the full noon tide of the sun would be coming
forward meetings—influential meetings to prove that rent-
charge meant tithes, and that abolition was the remedy for
both one and the other."
