Three remarkable men have been, or shortly will

IRELAND AND O'CoNNELL.-For many years
Daniel O'Connell, the great Irish Liberator, he
was, no doubt ironically called, Qor the name, It.
self, s the most cutting irony,) collected immense
sums from the poor, but generous, irish people,
under the name of :" Rint." All Ireland paid tri-
butte to Cancellation Hall and O'Connell. Wha
became of this rlnt has ever been mystery. No
journal dared to open Its mouth to make the inqu-
nv, for O'Connell had the knack and the means Of
insulting and brow-beating every independent man
who would not bow the knee to this Irish Baal-
Until he died, the Irish people were literally en-
shaved, and were payers of tribute to one OF the
most clustering tyrants that ever lived Only af-
ter his death was the yoke broken by the gallant
efforts OF the Young Ireland party. BY Its means,
O'Connell's family lost the succession to the throne
of the Liberator, and Ireland became tree from one
tyranny at least, and that very heavy one.
But after all the rint and money paid to Concllia-
ton Hall-aiter the immense sums collected from
the Irish people, il IS to read the following
announcement of its bankruptcy, which we ex-
tract from the Cork Examiner. We give 1t in our
hatred OF yrants, and OF all deception, and TO ex-
pose how they are mere respectable swindlers,
whether known by the name OF Kings or Liberia
tors We have always been friend to the people,
and especially to the Irish people, and have always
been opposed 20 tyrants, and pseudo Llberators
hence the bitter enmiy against us Of them and all
their myrmidons. The following is the Compile
Rend.. of the extinct government OF the late mon
arch of all Ireland. Peace to his ashes

La Fontape was called upon to answer on
his subpoena, but as he di no! answer, war

The funeral of Mason took place to-day
and was attended by nearly one thousand peo-

also the mourners. The principal stores were
closed.
Last night several rows occurred especially
with the Horse Police, who fired on the peo-

crossed the river, where they now remain.
Four houses on Norte Dame street caught

The Ocean House is as well kept as any other
house in the country; its tables are supplied
with the best the markets afford, and with an
ply sufficient quantities, all Of which is well
and )ashionaJiy cooked. There are sufficient
number of servants for all the reasonable
demands of the House, and full as many as at
any other Hotel, we care not where it is l6ca-
ted. At the table, in the division of servants,
one is assigned to every five guests, and this
is the usual ratio at all frst-class Hotels,

able cause for complaint, and no sensible man
would think Of making any, when he sees that
all is done there that can be for the equal com

that the world was made for them, and that

obsequious knee to their bidding they will
probably learn better as they grow older, and

to the charge of Mr.. Weaver's having driven

we know perfectly well what the Mirrors cor
respondent alludes to. Mr.. Weaver never
yet drove any gentleman from his house, and
he never treated any one other than with cout
esy and respect who behaved always as he
ought, But like all other sensible men, who
are masters of their own premises, he does not
permit any clan or clique TO turn his house up
side down, to tako the control and manage

other thing shall be arranged.

1 pAll our political readers will recol ect
that there was time v hen John M. Bolts
and John Tyler both occupied the same bed,
on a certain night after Mr.. Bolts Discovered
the rotenness of Tyler's political character,
he denounced him, in no measured terms, as
did every other honest man. After this there
were thousand jokes and squibs porpetrated
by the press, at political meetings and in So
cial gatherings on the strength Of that
nights repose by Mr.. Bolts and =" his Acct
dency." The following story is one of the
BEST in connection with the matter that We
have ever heard.
At Presidential Convention in Baltimore,
Mr.. Bolts came down rom Washington and
was invited TO address the Butchers, which
he did after the meeting was over, they took
him TO Barnum's Hotel, where he was to
stop. But on arriving there, the city being full,
that Hotel was crowded TO sufiocalion, and it
was not only impossible to have him provided
for there, but all other houses were equally
full. One Of the butchers at length said that
he would find bed for Mr. Bolts, and accord.
ing'y went with him to large Hall, where
some forty or fifty beds were spread, side by
side. lie pointed out one TO Mr.. Bolts, and told
him to appropriate i, the latter, by some
means, ascertained that it was where the
Butcher had intended to sleep himself. Mr..
Bolts told his friend ha, he could not consent
to deprive him of his bed, and he would only
consent 10 occupy it with him. I" Oh no."
said the honest Butcher, cannot think Of

to sleep with poor Butcher Oh" said
Mr.. Bolts, |" my worthy frictd, have done
something q great deal worse than that,-I
