DUBLIN. February 2, laH
De0r Sirs-The counsel for the uavcrsers are
still addressing the Jury in the Queens Bench
OConnels great speech is still 10 come, and have
been informed that he has said that the exordum Of
his address shall be read in America before he de-
iivers the peroration. The literature of our Ian
guage, if nothing else, will be benefited by these
trials; for rarely, if ever in any Court, have so
much brilliant wit, mighty eloquence and forcible
logic been uttered in the Dublin Queens Bench
during the last two weeks.
In Mr.. Whitesides mastery effort [ find the fol-
lowing exquisite passage:
Because the poor fellows who compose the Temperance
Bands through the dont the public house
because they do nj do that but indulge PLAYING musical
lnstruments-why, said by the Attorney Generai
distorted by supple nderstandng-lts twisted into foul
am more and more made certain in my
mind that Ireland, matter how these State prose-
cutlons terminate, must remain quiet. The LIBERIA
tor, in very beautiful and forcible speech, the
last meeting in Cancellation Hall, impressed the alb
soIue necessity of order, if the people of their fine
but Inflated country wished Repeal and Freedom.
His remarks were responded to by the immense
auditory in heart speaking manner. The Liberia
tor also recommended all Repeaers to adopt,
mark, peculiar button, to be worn on the coat
Let every Repealer-let every friend TO his native
land, )" cried he, abe Known" He regretted the
small amount Of the rent coming in; he understood
that the Repealers throughout the island
boarding up the funds for the purpose Of sending in
large amounts at tie close of the trials. This
he considered very foolish. My word for it,
the rent received in Cancellation Hall next Monday
will exceed the last by hundreds OF pounds.
The Attorney General disgraced himself and in
suited cher Majesty, a few days since, in the
Queens Bench, by challenging Mr. Fitzgibbon,
counsel of one of the traversers. All parties unite
in denouncing his puerile and ungentlemanly con
duct. He will lose his place, Peel bends public
opinion. had the pleasure of dining the other day
with the Rev. Dennis Murphy, and halt dozen
other Catholic clergymen. The toasts and speeches
were all about America oh that my friends in
Gotham could see as ] see the gratitude of these
noble sons of Erin towards "the land of the Free"
America is absolutely idolized in Ireland her insti-
tutions-her sympathy towards the struggling
Emerald Isle-her religious toerance-all com
mand the deepest veneraton. wish Mr.. Shea would
get out an edition of his fine poem, Clontar here
it would be Of service 10 Ireland, and wreath his

My rides through the country have convinced me

Indeed America only eXcels in extent surprises
me hourly TO see the heart with which the poor
here bear up against wretchedness. They sing and
