Mr. O'CoNsan.r. has returned to Dublin, and recommenced his course
of public harangues. Of the composition of his audience on Tuesday last we know nothing ; but as the worthy Ilibernians ap- pear to have been much delighted with the speech Mr. O'Cossem. slefiverecl, and which he, no doubt, suited in matter and language
to their intellects and their tastes, we should conclude that they were the most ignorant and credulous of the Dublin populace. To men of decent habits and feelings, the greater part of the reported speech is extremely disgusting ; especially the attack upon Lord BROUGHAM—of which even Mr. O'Comsem, ought to be deeply ashamed. In attending his only child's funeral, Lord Bammuntsra conformed to a custom, it appears to us, highly becoming in itself, and very common both in England and Scotland. There would have been less of nature and affecting solemnity in his staying away. As to his resumption, the day after the interment, of his judicial duties as a Peer, it augurs either a very slight acquaintance with real affliction, or a very malignant feeling towards Lord BROUGIIAM, to construe what might have been a bitter effort to shake off a load of sorrow for a most beloved object, into hard- hearted indifference. For years Lord Baouunsst had before hint the certainty of his daughter's premature decease ; his mind must have been habituated, though not reconciled, to the thought of sur- viving her ; and we should have esteemed him less sincere if, under such circumstances, he had affected to stagger as if from a sudden blow. Mr. O'Coxsser.r. was thinking of the acting of grief; and he applies even to that poor art a coarse though an artificial test, and a wrong theory of human nature.
