O'CONNELL'S BANK BUBBLE.

One of the most gratifying circumstances we have ever
known is the direful consternation into which we have
plunged the Big Beggarman and his whole gang. Alone
—aye, "alone we did it." And our readers in general,
who take an interest in all we do to expose and destroy
whatever humbug we lay our hands on, will be delighibil
to hear that the Age has been burnt at Limerick mid
other places by the scamps whose schemes we have scat-
tered to the winds. Seven members of parliament, whose
names had been surreptitiously employed as decoy-ducks
by the O'Connellite gang, have indignantly scouted the
vile pretenders; and the consequence is, that O'Connell
and his family, anti their family.baker, one David Roche,
are left alone in their glory ! This is as it should be.
Never was there a scheme, at once audacious and atro-
cious, so signally defeated. Only think of this penniless
pauperising crew having the audacity to pass the follow•
ing resolution :
" That we (we ! O'Connell's tail) consider a bank established
on the principles recommended by Mr. O'Connell entitled to
support, as a measure calculated to benefit trade and agricul-
ture, and further the free avowal of political sentiments!"
Is there not some thutder made •hot with uncommon
wrath to hurl at those who owe their greatness to their
country's ruin ! A bank on Mr. O'Connell's principles !
Gracious God! Twelve months have not elapsed since
he had the audacity to talk in parliament, among'the
assembled Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, about
the "CANT of national faith." Now let us see what are
the "principles" of his private peculation under the
"cant" of national benefit. He proposed—.

" To establish a Joint Stock Bank, of which he and his Tail,
aided by some of his needy adventurers here, were to be the
directors; each of them was to have a salary, and each of them
was to be vested with the power of discounting his own accom-
modation bills, to be passed to manufacturers for valuable
consideration, and also to discount the accommodation bills of
all those who would further the avowal of his political sentiments."
And. in what way was this machinery to be set in momtion ? Why, by abstracting a million of pounds sterling
from the shareholders of five pounds each, and by issuing,
instead of the King's coin, as many millions as he choose
of promises to pay ! In the Age, a few months since, we
published a list of 158 banks in the United States, all of
which had broke simultaneously ; all of which had been
established by swindlers absconded from Ireland ; all of
which were founded on O'Connell's principles, under his
avowed auspices, and purposely to "further the free
avowal of his political sentiments." Next week, when
we shall have received copies of the schedules filed in the
Insolvent Court inDublin, and of the judgment creditors
of all this gang of adventurers, we will exhibit them in
historical and alphabetical order, fOr public observation.
