On the motion of Mr. O'Dwyer, the Lord Mayor vacated the chair, which was then assumed by Sir James Power.

Mr. O'Dwyer said, the citizens of Dublin had many excellent Lord Mayors, but he believed the civic presidential chair was never more worthily filled, than by its present occupant (hear). He was a gentleman who was ready on all occasions to maintain the honour and dignity of his high office, besides being ever foremost in promoting works of public utility. For all these reasons, he (Mr. O'Dwyer,) begged to move that the special thanks of the meeting be given to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, for his dignified and proper conduct in the chair that day, and on all other occasions, (applause.)

Mr. C. Kennedy said, he felt great pleasure in bearing his humble testimony to the worth of the Lord Mayor, and expressing his entire concurrence in all that had been said of his Lordship. The Lord Mayor had always proved his thorough identification with the interests of the city-he was a true patriot; and what had been so well said of him was but the simple truth. He begged to second the resolution (applause).

Sir James Power expressed the gratification he felt in submitting the resolution to the meeting. He was sure it would be carried with acclamation. He then put the resolution, and it was carried amidst general applause.

The proceedings then terminated.

NATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE FAMILY OF THE LATE JOHN O'CONNELL.

At a Meeting, held without notice, at Glasnevin Cemetery, immediately after the interment of the remains of the late John O'Connell, on Friday, the 28th instant.

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the Chair.
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :-

:

Moved by the Right Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald, M.P., and seconded by the Very Rev. Dr. Yore, D.D., V.G.

That the melancholy event which has brought together the vast assemblage present here this day has revived in the public mind a recollection of the transcendant services and labours of DANIEL O'CONNELL, that man of rare integrity, who with every opportunity afforded to him professionally and politically in his lengthened career of aggrandizing himself and his family, died, after a glorious public life, in the enjoyment of unequalled popularity, yet leaving to his descendants little more than the inheritance of a great reputation.

Moved by Sir James Power, Bart.; seconded by Mr. Seargeant Deasy, M.P.:

That John O'Connell, whose obsequies we have attended this day-to whom his father was most tenderly attached, and of whose merits and devotion to his country so many sincere evidences have been given-has passed away, leaving after him a young and numerous family with means too slender and inadequate for the future support of their position in life.

Moved by Francis W. Brady, Esq., seconded by Carew O'Dwyer, Esq.: That it becomes the country, to whose material and intellectual developement were consecrated the genius and labours of O'Connell, to manifest its grateful veneration for the name, by a resolve to raise, by public subscription, fund, to be added respectfully to any means already existing for the education and advancement of the family of John O'Connell.

Moved by Patrick O'Brien, Esq., M.P.; seconded by Sir Edward M'Donnel:

That a subscription be accordingly opened with this object, and that Sir James Power, Bart, and Denis Moylan, Esq., Alderman, be the Treasurers of this Fund, and that a Committee, with power to add to their numbers, be now nominated to take charge of the sum to be raised, and to vest it in such a manner as shall insure its proper application and carry out the object of this meeting, and that the Committee be requested to open a communication with the various localities in Ireland and elsewhere likely to assist, so as to produce a general concurrence in the national design.

Moved by Edmund Smithwick, Esq., and seconded by P. V. Fitzpatrick, Esq. :

That the following Gentlemen be now named as members of Committee: Right Hon, the Lord Mayor, his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin, the Right Hon. the Lord Chief Baron, the Right Hon. Judge Keogh, Hon. Justice O'Brien, Very Rev. Monsignor Yore, D.D. V.G., the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Cork, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Limerick, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Waterford, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Clonmel, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Wexford, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Kilkenny, the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Drogheda, the Right Hon.

our county consider it a duty to raise a pecuniary tribute for his large family, please put down my name for twenty pounds.-Your's truly,

"JOHN H. TALBOT,

"One of O'Connell's oldest supporters.

"Ballytrent, 26th May, 1858."

The following letter, addressed to the Right Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald, has been received from his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen :

"Tara, May 28, 1858.

MY DEAR MR. FITZGERALD-I shall feel happy to co-operate in any way in my power in carrying out your views to make a provision for Mr. John O'Connell's family. If I was in Dublin I would assist at the meeting; but as I was not able to be present, I beg to wish you every success, and to say that I shall do everything in my power to promote the interests of so deserving a family.-Believe me to be, Sir, &c.,

"Right Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald, M. P."

"+ PAUL CULLEN."

June 16th, 1858.

Since John O'Connell was laid in his grave, just nineteen days ago, more than £2,300 have been subscribed by men of all classes and religions, because they believed of John O'Connell, as Sydney Smith believed of Henry Grattan"He thought the noblest occupation of a man was to make other men happy and free; and in that straight line he went on, without one side look, without one yielding thought, without one motive in his heart which he might not have laid open to the view of God and man. He is gone!-but there is not a single day of his honest life of which every good Irishman would not be more proud, than of the whole political existence of his countrymen-the annual deserters and betrayers of their native land." We thank God that one Irishman is thought of by his fellowcountrymen.
