O'CONNELL ON DISRAELI. We copy from Mr. Fagan’s “ Life and Times of O’Connell,’* the celebrated speech of O°Con- nell on Disraeli, in reply to a speech, in which the latter eee in most disrespectful terms of O'Connell, using the words “incendiary,” “traitor.”’ and other still less complimentary terms. It will prove interesting to many who have not before seen it: Yet, sir, the “ No Popery” cry is again raised in England, and every enewy to Ireland in that country does me the houor of directing the arrowsof his malevolence against me. Bat I have risen to a magnitude I never thought I would attain Kd the quantity of slander poured out upon me through the medium of the En; lish press. They wake me a bug-bear of first magnitude, ee any bug of my size would be a humbng ; but, literally, nothing is wore ludicrous than the importance they at- tach to wy hamble name. TI am not accus- tomed to feel much surprised at their resorting to me for “lack of argument.” but, I must confess, there is one of the attacks on me which excites in my mind a great deal of astonish- ment. It is this—the attack lately made at ‘Taunton by Mr. Disraeli. In the annals of political torpitude there is not anything de- serving the appellation of “ blackguardism’ to equal that attack upon me. What is my <n with this man? Just this—in 1831, or the beginning of 1832, the borough of Wickham became vacant; I then knew him, but not personally. I knew him ouly as the author of one or two novels. He got an intro- duction to me, and wrote mea letter, stating that, as I was a Radical Reformer, and as he was also a Radical, and was going to stand upon the Kadical interest for the borough of ickham, where, he said, there were man sp of that way of thinking who would be inflaenced by my opinion, he would feel obliged by receiving a letter from me recommendatory ot him aga Radical. His letter to me was 30 distinct upon the subject that I immediately complied with the request, and composed as an epistle as [ could in his beh: I am in the habit of letter-writing, sir, and Mr. Disraeli thought this letter so valuable that he not only took the autograph, but had it printed and placarded. It waa, in fact. the ground upon which be canvassed the borough. Me was, however, defeated; but that was not my fault. I did not demand gratitude from hum; but I think if he had any feeling of his own, he wouldconceive that I had done him at least acivility, if not a service, which ought not to be repaid by atrocity of the foulest deseriptior The next thiog I heard of him was tha* he h: started upon the Radical interest for Maryle- bone, but was again defeated. Having been twice defeated on the Radical interest, he was Just the fellow for the Conservatives, and, cordingly, he joined a conservative Club, started for two or three places on th vative interest. How is he now yy in abusing the Radicals, eulogising the king and the church, like a true Conservative. At Taunton this miscgeant bad the audacity to style me an incendiary’ Why, I wasagreater i iary in 1831 than I am at present—if I ever wasone; and, it I am, he is doubly so, for malay Sager es me. Then he calls me a traitor. My answer to that is—he is a liar. He is a liar iu action and in words. His very life is a living lie. He is @ disgraee to his » cies. What state of society must that be that could tolerate such a creature, having the au- dacity to come forward with one set of princi- sage at one time, and obtain political assistance ¥ reason of those principles—and, at another, to profess, diametrically, the reverse? His life, I say again, is a living lie. He is the most degraded of his species and kind; and Bogland is degraded in tolerating, or having upon the face of her society, a miscreant of his abominable, foul, and atrocious nature. My language is harsh. and [ owe an apology for it; but I will tell you why I owe that apology. It is for this reason: that. if there be harsher terms in the British language, I should use them, because it is the hardest of all terms that would be deseriptive of a wretch of his species, He is just the fellow for the Conser- vative Club. 1 suppose if Sir R. Peel had been out of the way, when he was called upon to take office, this tellow would have under- taken to supply bis piace. He haz falschood enough, depravity enough. and selfishness enough, to become the fitting leader of the Conservatives. Ie is Conservatism personified. His name shows he is hy descent a Jew. His father became a convert. He is the better fur that in this world; and I hope, of course, he will be the better for it in the next. There is a habit of underrating that great and op- pressed nation, the Jews. They are cruelly waecuted by persons calling themselves Jhristians—but no person ever yet was a Christian who persecuted. The cruelest per- secution they suffer is upon their character, by the foul names which their ealumuiators be- stowed upon them before they carried their atrocities into effect. ‘Ihey feel the persecu- tion of calumny severer upon them than the Persecution of actual force, and the tyranny of actual torture. I have the happiness to be ac- quainted with some Jewish families in London; and, among them more accomplished ladies, or more humane, cordial, high-minded, or better- educated gentlemen, I have never met. It will not be supposed, therefore. that when I speak of Disraeli, as the descendant of a Jew, at I mean to tarnish him on that account. They were once the chosen people of God. There were miscreants among them, however, also; and it must have certainly been from one of those that Disraeli descended. He possesses just the qualities of the impenitent thief who died upon the eross; whose vame, [ verily be- lieve, must have been Disraeli For aught 1 know, the present Disraeli is descended from him ; and with the impression that he is, I now forgive the beir-at-law of the blasphemous thief who died upon the cross - ee Masca Noaw on Manntace.—Tue late vet eran of the press, M. M. Noah, held avery racy pen. which threw off sparkling paragraphs with as much ease “‘as the lion shakes the dew-drops from his mane!’ The following is one of them: ‘We like short courtship: ; in this Adam acted a sensible inan—he fell aslee bachelor, and awoke to find himself a married wan. He appeared to have popped the ques- tion almost immediately after meeting Md'lle Eve, and she, without any flirtation or shyness, gave biw a kiss and herself. Of that first kiss in this world we have bad, however, our own thoughts; and sometimes, in a poetical mood, have wished we were the man * what did it.’ But the deed is done; the chance was Adam's, and he improved it. We like the notion of get- arried in a garden. It is good taste. We like ivate wedding. —Adam's was pri- vate. No envious beaux were there; nocruak- ing old maids; no sage a aunts and grumb- ling grand-mothers. The birds of heaven were minstrels, and the glad sky flung its light upon the se “One thing about the first wedding brings qucer things to as, in spite of its Scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were rather young tw marry—some two or three days old. ac- cording to the sagest speculation of theolo- gians—mere babies—larger bat not er— withou: experience—without a bcuse—withou @ pot or kettle—nothing butlove and Eden.” Ace or Virginia Cavenns.—At a recent meeting of the Boston Natural History Society, Professor Wm. B. Rogers stated that a number of years since, he had made experiments in the Stalactitic Caverns of Virginia, fur the purpose of nenetra data in regard to the age of A ite deposits. He placed vesse!s inan un! requented rt of the cave, beueath drippings of various imensionr, where they remained for a period of from five to seven years. He arrives at the conclusion, as the result of his observations, that the rate of accretion is one tenth of an inch in five years, oraninch ig fifty years. Asthere are several feet of acoummalated deposit in some places, he thinks that Oe proves mpust hove besa going on for at least five thousand years. OS. am: VOL. XI. DICKENS'S STORY OF THE ORIGIN OF PICKWICK, Mr. Dickens has latterly been issuing what ia called a popular edition of his works, in which he treats us to this little gecount of the origin af Pickwick: “Iwas a young man of three and twenty when the present publishers, attracted by some pieces I was at that time writing in the Morn- ing Chroniele newspaper, (of which one series bed been collected and published in two vol- umes, illustrated by my esteemed friend, Mr. Geo. Cruikshank.) waited upon me to propose a something that should be published in shilling numbers—then only known to me, or I believe to anybody else, by a dim recollection of cer- tain interminable ‘novels in that form which used to be carried about the country by ped- lers, and over some of which I plate to have shed innumerable tears before I had served my apprenticeship to Rife. “ When L opened my door in Furnival’s Inn to the managing partner who represented the firm, I recognized in him the person from whose hands 1 bad bought, two or three years previ- ously, and whom I had never seen before or sinee, my first copy of the magazine in which my first effusion—dropped stealthily one even- ing at twilight, with fear and trembling, into a dark letter box, in a dark office, up # dark court in Fleet street—appeared in all the glory of print; on which memorable oveasion—how well I recollect it!—I walked down to West- minster Hall and turned into it for half an hour, because my eyos were so dimmed with joy and pride that they could not bear the street, and were not fit to be scen tuere. I told my visitor of the coincidence, which we both hailed as a good omen, and so fell to business. “Tho idea propounded to me was that the monthly something should be a vehicle for cer- tain plates to be executed by Mr. Seymour; and there was a notion, either on the part of that admirable humorous artist or of my visitor (C forget which), that a ‘Nimred Club,’ the members ot which were to go out shooting, fish- ing, and so forth, and getting themsolves into difficulties through their want of dexterity, would be the best means of introducing these. I objected, on consideration, that, although born and partly bred in the country, J was no great sportsman, except in regard of ail kinds of locomotion ; that the idea was not novel, and bad been already much used; that it would be infinitely better for the plates to arise naturally out of the text; and that I should like to take my own way, with a freer range of English seenes and people. and wa, afraid I should ultimately do so in any ease, whatever course I might prescribe to myself at starting. My views being deferred to, I thought of Mr. Pickwick, and wrote the first number, from the proofsheets of which Mr. Seymour made his drawing of the Club, and that happy por- trait of its founder by which he is always ree- ognised, and which may be said to have made him a reality. Teonnected Mr Pickwick with aclub because of the original suggestion, and I put in Mir. Winkle expressly tur the use of Mr. Seymour. We started with a number of twenty-four pages instead of thirty-two, and four illustrations in lieu of acouple. Mr. Sey- mour’s sudden and lamented death before the second number was published, brought about a quick decision upon a point already in agita- tion; the number became one of thirty-two pages, with two illustrations, and remained so to the end. My friends told me it was a low cheap form of publication, by which I should ruin all my rising hopes; and how right wy friends turned out to be everybody iy olan ~** Box,’ my signature in the Morning Chron- icle, appended to the monthly cover of this k, and retained long afterward, was the nickname of a pet child, a younger brother, whom I had dubbed & in honor of the Vicar of Wakefield, which, ig facetiously pronounced through the nose. heeame Bosea and being shortened, beeame Boz. * Box’ was a very familiar household word to me long be- fore | waz an author, and so 1 came to adopt “* se THE WOMAN. WHO LIVES WITHOUT EATING, We have published several letters respect- ing this extraordinary case of suffering ; they are important to scientific men, and painfully interesting to all. The following ix written by Rev. S. P. Williams to the Christian Advosate: “Mrs. Hayes is not yetdead. I have seen her several times. And after reading all that has appearod in the Advocate in regard to her, venture to communicate afew thoughts upon her case. Before she passed into this peculiar and ailictive condition, her health was for some length of time extremely pour. She ate but little. and that little occasioned a considerable amount of suffering. Sometimes it threw her into spasms. For nearly a year befure she ceased to take refreshments altogether, she lived wholly, or nearly so, upon the juice of dried raspberries, until that became a source of suffering Then, for atime, she took ocea- sionally a small quantity of cold water; and it is now nearly a year since she swallowed any liquid to the knowledge of any one. Indeed I have no doubt that a teaspoonful of liquid put into ber mouth would be the occasion of her death, unless the spasmodic action of her throat should expel it. Any person to see her ten minutes must be satisfied there is no deception in her case. Her head and shoulders, one or the other. are in perpetual motion. Sheis fre- gents thrown forward until she is nearly doubled together, and then the head thrown back, and her neck literaily doubled, and the body forced back, and the whole face, chin and all, entirely buried in the pillow. This is done several times successively in less time than I tike in writing it. The last time in the series the face will re- main nearly buried in the pillow, and she does not breathe fur ten or fifteen minutes. Ooce she remained sixty-two minutes without breathing: When this is over and the spasin passes off she strug, for breath, and her he: rolled from side tw side almost with the velocity of lightning for a moment or two: the face becomes red wit the rush of blood to the head and the skin quite woist with perspiration. Then the spasm sub- sides into a gentle motion of the jaw and shoulder, keeping time, as one wo'u!l think, with action of the heart. -Her skin ubout the face, neck, chest and hands is delicate and heathy as the skin of an infant. The palsz- tions of her blood about the chest, neck, head and arms, shou exceedingly delicate, are quite regular er hair does not grow, nor is worn off the head, as one would naturally sup- pose, except a little just upon the crown. The action of the liver ie entirely suspended, of course. Tie action and state of the langs are perfectly healthy. ‘hey have been thoroughly e ned by skilful physicians, with the aid of a stethoscope, and are supposed to be perfect. Her nourishment is wholly from the atmosphere. The last nutriment, indeed the last swallow of water she was known to take, was in the lastof June, 1857. The last time she was known tobe conscious wus list December. When she co.nes out of these lung spasws she seems to cry fora | moment, like an infant in distress. At sueh times her husband thinks she may be conseivus. | It is most distressing to hear it. She is not above the ordinary laws of dissare. She has | recently had a thorough case of the mumps, } Loans as others haye them. Her nails upon er fingers, like her hair, do not grow at all.
