Col. O'RE1LEY, who died in Moroc-
co recently at the age of forty-eight,
was an associate of Meagher, Darcy
MCGEE and others who have since be-
come well known in the attempted re-
bellion of 184S. After the collapse of
that movement he led most romantic
life. He fought the Austrians in Italy,
and was promoted to be lieutenant
on the field of Novara. While in the
Sandman service he sent to Lord Pal
merston valuable reports concerning
the italian forces. O'Reilley joined
the Turkish service, rose to be chief
of mounted gendarmerie in Syria, and
was known as ''Hassan Bey." He was
recalled on suspicion of encouraging
native rising, but not until he had in
teresting adventures in the desert, and
business transactions with Lady Ellen
borough. He has lately resided in
London, and died while on mission
for some capitalists to Morocco.
