In the House Of Commons, March IL,
Mr.. O'Connel presented forty petitions
from different parts Of Ireland for the REP cal
Of the Legislative union between the two
countries. He then gave notice that en- an

leave to bring in bill to define the law Of
conspiracy, and the evidence applicable

The O'Connel Dinner at Coveht Garden
Theatre, took place on the l2th inst. The
high tory papers admit it to have been a
"most important demonstration. 1'relre
hundred persons sat down to table on the
occasion. The theatre was fitted UP With
great magnificence, and the whole affair ap-
pears to have been more like the celebra-
ton Of some great national event, than
mark Of respect to an individual. A large
number Of noblemen and members Of raj
lament were present. O'Connel's speech
occupies four and half columns of the
"Morning POST and is certainly mas
terly production.
A great meeting Of the friends of Ireland

most respectable inhabitants Of the borough
were present; and also many elegant dres-
sed ladies, several of when belonged to the
society Of Friends, who appeared to take
m,'eh interest in the proceeding Of the day.
The London Morning Chronicle says
"Any attempt adequately to describe the
enthusiasm Of his reception would seem to
approach exaggeration. 1t was a noble
display Of manly British sympathy towards
man considered to be uniustly and I'm
fairly dealt with. The Hon. and learned
| gentleman was received with the most
hearty reclamation on his way to the Town
Hall, and at the meeting he WIS hailed with
a display Of generous and hearty feeling
that was truly magnificent. Peal after peal
Of welcome resounded throughout the Town
Hall for several minutes, and 1t was only
after again and again repeating these greet
ings that the meeting subsidized into ordin-
airy composure. Mr.. O'Connel appeared
in excellent health. The reception he met
with seemed to crafty him exceedingly,
and it was one which he might Justly re-
gard as an expressive and significant indi-
cation Of public opinion with respect to that
vitality important question, the existing con-
dition Of lreland.'
| Mr.. O'Conners speech was powerful
and coneiliatory, and while he expressed a
desire that the people Of both Islands should
remain no longer separated In the pursuit
OF a comm, n objeet-their political rights
he spoke with determination and tartiiude
as 10 himself which Showed how little for
