IRELAND.

A brilliant party assembled at Waterford on the r3Oth of last month, in honour of Mr. Barron and Mr. Wyse, the Liberal Members for the city of Waterford. The speech of Mr. Wyse, probably the best that was :delivered on the occasion, is miserably reported, and it wou id he an njustice to that gentleman to quate any of its mangled pa,sages. Mt. Barron thought it becoming to attack Mr. Roebuck ; and we are happy to say that he encountered the disapprobation of the company, met as it was to flatter him, in so doing. Mr. Shiel seemed to place great reliance on the Court;he talked indeed about a " stable, working majority of forty," (nobody knew better than Mr. Sheil that he was referring to a creature of the imagination), but it is plain that he looks to the Court as the chief prop of the Melbourne Ministry— If the Tories had gained an accession of numbers, the Whigs had gained a stable (to use a technical, a Parliamentary phrase)—a working majority of 40. It was notorious that in the late session the Court was against the Administration ; at present it was notorious that the Court was not unfavourable to the 3Iinistry. Is Wind‘or to weigh nothing in the scale? The Crown, with all its jewels and prerogatircs, would bunly produce some preponderance in the ta'once. lu the last Parliament the Louts and the Crown were against them. Now the Queen was generally understood to be favourable to the Ministry. This made a great difference, and would be found to operate immediately. Who !lid not know that regal smiles were powerful And when these regal smiles beamed on the face of youth and beauty they would be found to have an influence on the hardest Tory heart. Towards the close of his speech, Mr. Shell, more sue, grew pretty ind poetical-. " I au born amongst I have WSOtIetli far sima then. By the sal: that enchanting river which flows along your city, aud wi ira dalus:s and increases your wealth, I received may birth. When I was far away, and after the lapse of many years, the murmurs of that stream have echoed on my memory, and now return with new power. Amidst eircumatonces so difrerent —after years, I lament to say, so distant—my heart threbs with melancholy pleasure in coming among you. I have seen great moral and physical changes. I have seen what I did not expect to see, steam and liberty ! I have seen gigantic forms instinct with life on the waters. James Watt did more for the Union than Pitt. But the moral changes are more exuberant with pleasure than the physical. When I played on the banks of these waters as a boy, was a slave. I am now on them, a man, and free."

The last toast proposed by the chairman, Mr. Henry Villiers Stuart, (who is also Lord-Lieutenant of the county,) was the health of Daniel O'Connell— Were be to attempt to extol Mr. O'Connell in their presence, he might expect some question to be put to him such as was put to a citizen who perambulated ancient Rome, singing the praises of Hercules through the streets, until some person asked him " Who has found any fault with him ?" lie would, therefore not be guilty Of the bad taste of offering to an individual who IVIS se notoriously exalted in the country'. estimation the puny incense of his tlatt.ry ; but he considered that he should be guilty of base ingratitude if he omitted tc testify the sense which lie entertained of the services of so eminent an indi vidual. True, it was not he who taught them the knowledge of their ea inspired them with a desire to obtain these rights—but it was he who taitglit them to rr.arshal and combine their forces so as to render sticecss :tier it.t )1e at. no di-tarit day. Under these fe !Bogs he rose to prni 'ne the health t!,e, great 'ne the health t!,e, great champion of Irish liberties—" Daniel O'Connell, t,he Member for the cute of Dublin."

Mr. Sheil, being called upon, spoke a few sentences in behalf and in praise of O'Connell ; and the party broke up.

Mr. O'Connell has addressed a long letter to the People of Ireland; the scope of' which is to impress upon them the necessity of stre»nously supporting the Queen's Government. But though this is the maim object of his letter, O'Connell discourses on a eariety of other subjects. Ile strenuously insists on the necessity of the Ballot " It is now manifest that the Reform Bill has not gonc far enough in Englaa 1 e Scotland. In the first place, take England. 'rlie Reform Bill cadmic's au/me-moo,: number of the people of England from the franchise. Can the excluded right or just ? I should despise them if they here it patiently. I.et them not w aste their iniergien in :drafting the Whigs or aiding the Tories; but let th.■ miarepre wilted English rally and meet, and form Reform Asauciations, and signity to Parliament, by their petitions, their demand of the franehise.
