DINNER rO MR. o'coNNEi.i-

huential citizens Of Cork, and n num-
Der Of country gentlemen, entertained
MIR. O'Connell yesterday at the Cham
Der of Commerce. In addition TO the
two city members, who had been spc-
cially invited, we noticed, besides the
representatives for the county, several
members Of Mr.. OConnells family
including the members for Meath, John
OConnell. Esq. Of Crcna, &c. Fran
els Bernard Beamish, Esq. presided
He was assisted by Thomas Lyons,
James Daily, and Sam. Perro,, Esqs.,
as vicc-presidents.
The cloth having been removed, and
the usual toasts drunk,
The Chairman proposed The health
OF Mr.. O'Connell. the eloquent and
fearless advocate of universal emanci-
patton. Ireland's liberator, and all man
kinds friend" Loud and enthusiastic
checrs.)
Mr.. O'CONNELL rose and said,
have been told to day of great events
that the ministry is dissolved. But
what anxiety have l TO know what
ministry continues, or undergoes disso-
lutionI What care / what form of
administration exists, Cheers. -
What matters il whether Wings or To-
rics rule US? Wings are equally as
bad as Tories. The only advantage
they afford Us il, while we turn their
hypocrisy into occasional realities.
The days of the Tories arc gone. The
victor of Waterloo was beaten before,
though he came into power to prevent
Catholic emancipation; and the like
may be done again. He like good
general, did not wait for a defeat, but
retreatcd and what was achieved once,
may, with the blessing OF God, be
done twice. Can any one be found TO
imagine that q Tory administration
could exist after the discontinue of
Wellington in an oligarchical parlia-
ment Can there be found such a
dreamer as the person who would think,

which began in America the year

continued to advance progressively ever
since that when 4 senate was compo-

ton and the selection of forces, and yet
was forced to yield; and now that
nine-tenths of the people are our own,
he should not be beaten supcrAuously

the scene shifted, and the actor chang

ny; but now the course is straight, and
IT never was so straight as it is at pre-
sent. Thirty years have spent in
agitation, and ! have now come from
my native mountains prepared for thir-

energy now as I had thirty years ago.
