Highly Important News Expected.
OConnen I'm Prison and the Corn Exch ang,
In Tears!
The steamer Britannia, )" Captain Hewc IT, sailed
from Liverpool on the 4th inst, and may very rea-
sonably be expected here on Saturday, this week,
or on Monday of next week. 1t is probable how
ever, that according to mmemorial custom or ac-
cident, the steamer will arrive on Sunday at Bos-
ton and If 80, we shall be prepared again to run
an extraordinary overland Express, exclusively for
the office of the New York Herald and for the
express purpose of giving the whole country, south
and west, the important news that may come by
this steamer, one day in advance Of the mails,
and one day In advance of the entire news
paper press of this city. We give all our c.
temporaries here fair warning, and we dare
the whole of them, united, to enter into the field
against in this approaching arrival If We do not
beat them usual, why then we shall consent to
eat up the whole Tyler party of the Union, at one
mouthtu, and swallow it from shoulders to tail at
gup.
The news expected by the 60 Britannia" will be
very important. We may have the result OF the
application made by Daniel O'Connell and his CO.
consplrators for new trial And il is highly probable
that this application will meet with denial, and that
tence on that distinguished man, including all the
rent In his pocket. II is thus very probable that
he Is in prison by this time, and if SO, we shall
publish the FIRST account of his incarceration, with
all the particulars of the tremendous excitement
in Dublin and throughout Ireland, and the state
of the question of political reform in England.
In deep and ardent sympathy for the people of
Ireland, we yield to none. No one regards with
more sincere and unaffected regret, than we, the
distresses the expressions, the prlvaons the ter
rible grinding under the hoof of tyranny, under
which the brave, chlvarlc, warm-hearted natives
of that lovely island suffer. But to the same
extent that we sympathize with the Irish peope in
their sufferngs-te that extent do we entertain an
uncomfortable and unutterable contempt for the
duplicty of that Dan O'Connel, whose whole
object, for the last quarter of century has been
by plunderng these poor people, to make living
out of them, that he couldn't get to the same
extent out of his profession as a lawyer, or his
exertions a politician. BY the fasehoods--by
the deceptive promises-by the perplexng agitation
Of that wholesale caumniator, thousands and
thousands of the people have been prevented from
leaving that impoverished and unhappy land, to
seek in this free country, the reward which sobrie
y, virtue and industry, are sure to bestow on the
selves in a right spirit. Every day-every week
every month only adds to the burden of the oppres
sions and sufferings which weight the Irish people
to the earth; and, probably, no man has been
instrumental IN inhicting so much evil, and SO
much distress on his country, as this O'Connel
who, whilst pundering the poor people of their
few pennies, has been sedulously endeavoring, I'M
der the hypocnucal garb Of patriotism, to rivet
xfil Itt,nv onln. Lee. Al L
narchlal government of Great Britain and Ireland.
A monarchist-a Jesuit Of the first water-a rapa.
cious tyrant when in power, and a miserable,
dwelling creature when out of power, O'Connel
has been one OF the worst curses inflicted on ur-
happy Ireland.
We have seen enough Of the spirit and working of
o'Connellism, in New York and throughout this
country, TO make the American people take care
that Its further introduction be effectuaily STAYED
For the chivalric, generous, virtuous, imaginative
and industrious Irish people, we cherish the most
profound respect and the most cordial esteem We
shall always support them in the enjoyment of their
constitutional rights and liberties We shall always
aid them TO the fullest extent of our power in the
maintenance of their rightful privileges But to-
wards all those who deceive them-whether it be
O'Connell, Bishop Hughes, or the little begger-
man, John M'Keon, or any others who lead them
into error, we shall wage a war of determination
We never shall desist till we see the Irish peo-
pie free-free to act out their own noble and ge-
nervous implies good American citizens, under
our glorious constitution
1t will be seen, therefore, that the news expected
by this steamer is Of the highest importance, and
every one may accordingly look out for its earliest
publication at this office
