The Times of Thursday contained upwards of a column of

scurrility against Mr. O'Connell, in the shape of a letter bearing the signature of M. Burke. Mr. O'Comietrefuther and uncle are grossly abused in this communication, so worthy of the Times amid its present pawns; but the gist of the attack on O'Connell consists in a charge that, after having triaged himself to rid in the return of Sir Valentine Blake for Clare county, lie basely deceived him and gave hint no assistance. Of course, Sir Valentine Blake would entertain a very bad opinion of O'Connell if this accusation were true; but on the sante day on which Burke's letter adorned the columns of the Times, the Courier received a letter from Sir Valentine himself, highly approving of the proposed O'Connell testimonial, and calling it "laudable and patriotic." The fact is, that Sir Valentine Blake never was a candidate for Clare. M. Burke is said to be the father and " showman " of " Young Burke." So much for the last slander on 0 Connell.

The Dublin Evening Post says, in reference to the Dublin Election proceedings—" It is only the first act which has been concluded. It has been a very showy turd expensive exhibition ; but the best part of the play is yet to come." Cold comfort this for West and Hamilton, and their subscribing friends of the Carlton Club. The Tories are threatening " civil war," "rebellion," and "the arm- ing of the Yeomanly Cavalry" in defence of the hereditary tyranny: but the People need no more than legally-constituted public meetings, associations, and petitions; the power that carried Catholic Eininici- .pation and the Reform Bill can carry Peerage Reform, the last and indispensable measure towards the completion of the great work of national regeneration.—Kent Herald.
