O'Connell, the greatest political agltator
which the world ever saw. Our readers will
be prepared for the event, which has been
daily expected for some weeks. The melan-
choly event took place at Genoa on the 18th
ult. Without going into full detail Of all
| the occurrences connected with the life and
death of this great man, we may observe that

scended from a respectable and ancient tami-
| ". He was born on the 10th of August 775
at Carlicn, in the county ofKcrry. His child
hood and boyhood were chiefly passed in his
birth place, though he paid frequent visits to
Derrynanc the seat ofhis fathers eldest broth
er, MIR. Maurice O'Connell, who as he was
himself childless, adopted his nephews, Dan
iel and Maurice, and undertook the chief

abundant and timely harvest; buyers, there

which is now being transacted is comparative

fast as they advanced. The deliveries are al
so from farmers, although not yet great are
more abundant of late and in proportion as
a want Of confidence has been shown by buy
ers, holders have manifested greater anxiety
to realise. The consequence, therefore, is
that there has been a considerable reaction in
prices, and the business done Of limited
charactes, the fall from the highest point hay
