THE DEAD ALIVE.  Among the ludicrous effects of the break up of the Brazen Brigade, says the Dublin Mail, not the least comical is the resuscitation of Mr. John O'Connell Having-gone to sleep when the rent fell to sevenpence halfpenny, he disappeared from the world, with a sour determinatium.as it was affirmed, of giving the rest of his days to heavenly contemplation. .L 4 pia alter de cadets. (says La Bruyere) c'est passer a lam. Mut, a' its marque:it ils fortune. The world never missed, nor concerned itself to inquire whether the fairies or the friars had him; when all at once he turns up, like Rip Van Winkle, with a Mullaghinast bonne l upon him, and amazes the world with 'Hurrah for the Repaile!' If he should attempt to raise a cry ror the old jingles on the Rock Road, or take his s nd in the new town of Edinburgh, with a' Wha wan me?' Ihe would have just as vol a chance of a foil wing That grand imposture served out its full ti e, and richly repaid the ingenious juggler who inve ed it. Let nobody ever hope to turn it to the' same count again. Master Jobsuiy most try on somethi ~ else, if he aspires to either of the vacancies cause by the promotion of Messrs. Keogh and Sadleir. W at suppose he were to do a hit of solidarity in the French Alliance line? He went oa an ambassag,e te Ledru Rollin once, which did not pay; but the preseat head of the nation is a more promising subject. The Napoleon of Humbug would naturally cotton to him. The following bid for the Premiership appears in the Freeman's Journal:—  TO TOE REPEALER! OF IRELAND,  Kingstown, Jan. 7, .1853.  Fellow-Countryinen--The time is veil !ugh come when I may invite you to a brief review of the results thatlare followed the compelled suspension of our agition in 1851. . .  A deep-dyed Tory government has been given the opportunity to seize upon, and for nearly a year to r tain, power, acting solely in the interest of a narrow, selfish, and bigoted party, and making renewed appointments of enemies of the people to positions where they must exercise a permanent evil influence on our fortunes. What would have been the ruling and unvarying tendency and spirit of the acts of that government, had English material interests not combined for their overthrow, we had an earnest in the insulting proclamations against our religion—the murderous and unpunished outrages of Stockportthe excused—nay, almost openly applauded masaacre —most cowardly massacre at Kitrush I On home occurrences I will touch as lightly as! may. Ann I not right, brother Repealers, in saying that our glorious watchwor4 ' The Repeal,' should have met with more toleratio* from some of the present • instructora of th 3 peoplei' when so absolute a dependence upon another cry and watchword, and so stringent an exaction of it, has beenvoade the test for turning away old servants of the people and adopting mein unknown before? And, alars ! am loot also rigfiA in saying that there have not hems eventing- inatances when Daniel O'Connell's life-long efforts to win our Protestant fellow-countrymen to the side of the people and of Ireland have been directly counteracted, and the old unhappy sectarian distrustebeen given some new colour of reason? Do I advise the resumption of our agitation? Willingly would I do so, for my whole soul and being are bound up with the rouse of repeal. But it is for you, people of Irelaltl, to decide what is to be done, and I who for twenty-doe years have endeavoured to serve you, and cheerfully neglected the many oocasionsinf personal advantage which at various times wene open to me, i will obey, and shall be glad once more to be the humblest follower in the popular ranks. Brit whatever be attempted, whatever may be done, tnis most I for ever proclairn—` There is no hope for Ireland but in the Repent P Ever beloved fellow-countrymea, your humble and faithful servant, MN O'
