IRELAND.
Mr. O'Connell arrived in Dublin on 'Tuesday morning. He imme- diately issued a requisition to his constituents to meet him at the Corn Exchange on Wednesday. A very large assembly was collected there ; and Mr. O'Connell entered into a detail and justification of his Par. liaineetary conduct ; denounced the Lords who will not du " Justice to Ireland ;" and proclaimed his resolution to agitate again for " the Re- peal "—but not just yet—he will " try the experiment once more." A " PreparatoryAesociation " is to be urganized, tied England " agitated" to demand "justice for Ireland," by two hundred Irish itinerant orators. By this time the Agitator is probably caressing his beagles at Darrynane Abbey.
A memorial, signed by a considerable number of respectable inha- bitants of Cork, has been presented to Mr. O'Connell, with the view of obtaining his sanction to a plan of compellieg the English Parlia- ment to do " justice to Ireland" by abstaining from the use of taxed articles.
The Marquis of Westmeath has written a letter to the electors of Dublin to vent his spite against Mr. O'Connell on account of the mo- tion which the latter brought forward, but withdrew, for depriving Lady Westmeath of her pension. The Marquis alludes to his em- ployment of Mr. O'Connell in the case against his wife, and declares that the counsellor was bribed to give him bad adviee. The following passage shows that the Marquis is at least Mr. O'Connell's equal ire the art of railing- " But now, when the reviler of the Saxons for a quarter of a century, and Of their women especially, produces his potato-plebeian face at the court of the Queen of the Saxons—at the court of our most gracious Queen, a Prince of the Blood steps out to offer an insult, in the presence of the Sovereign, to every lady in England and every gentleman in Ireland, by forcing the distinction of familiarity upon this vagabond—upon the greatest trading liar that was ever trained by the Jesuits or cursed the earth—ay, upon the very pivot of treason and disaffection—upon the fostering parent of perjury and Irish demoralization."
A vein of rich copper ore has been discovered upon the property of Mr. O'Connell, at Caberseevine. On the mines of Berehaven and Caetletown, Kerry, there are six hundred men employed.—Limerick Chronicle.
