Aa s00n a& the arrival of the Prince Albert was known, the delegation of gentlemen who wadertook to give Mr. O’Brien a private but cordial welcome to New York proceeded from the Astor House to Castle Garden, where the steamtug Doctor Kane wae waiting to take them on board the Prince Albert.

THE SCENE AT THE BATTERY. When the news that the Prince Albert was coming up the bay began to circulate, people flocked towards the Battery from all directions.

At eleven o'clock Company F,of the Fourth regiment New York State Militia, pro- ceded by @ band, and bringing with them two field pieces (nine pounders), arrived on the ground; and a8 goon as the steamer cast anchor off the Battory they fired a na- tional salute. No sooner bad they ceased firing than a second salute was fired from Broeklyn Heights by the ‘appertany!: i} Company, and the reports ef the 5 poet Mg thee over the water with very effect.

Capt. Wiley weicomed him in behalf of the offcers of the Customs, and he was then conducted to the Piazza of the office, when Artillery Company F, Fourth regiment, commanded by Capi.

It is not Mr. O’Brien’s intention to make the United States his residence, but to travel through the country for a few months, visiting alge Canada during his sqjourn. Ho desires 10 see not only America and the people of this repu! but to witness the Working of our institutions, and to forma judgment of them, not from the reports and deecriptions of others, but from his own observations. Mr. O'Brien is the last of the transported Irish revolu- tionista of 1648 who have come to this country. He comes under rather different circumstances, They es- caped from the penal colony of Van Dieman’s Land; he has been siace pardoned, and afier returning to his native land’ pow pays us @ visit of his own free wit! and accord. T. B. McManus reached California in 1851, and still resides there; T. F. Meagher arrived hero in 1852; P. O’Donohue came in the summer of 1853, and died early in 1864; and John Mitchel mace bis adveut in the fail of 1853, John Martin, editor of the /rish #elon, transported for sedition for ten ycars, was pardoned at the same time with Mr. O’Brien, and returned to Ircland. The principal writer on the latter paper was Joseph Brennan, who escaped to this country, and became editor of the D.Ua, at New Orleans, where he died. Thomas vevin Reilly was the principal writer of the war articles in Mitchel’s paper, and also escaped to this country, He becamo connected with the Democratic Review, aud afterwards with the Washington Union. He died in that oity in 1864. K. J. O'Doherty, editor of the Dublin Tribune, was also transported for se- dition ju 1848, but, like John Martin, he has returned to Ireland, He brought home a wealthy wife from Aus- tralia. O’Brien was 4 man of greater mark and consideration in his own eountry than any of these associates, and somo account of his career may not be without interest for our readers. Ifthere be any virtue in royal blood, or in a long line of ancestors, William Smith O’Brien can trace nis pedigree not only to-kings, but further back than any crowned head of Europe. He belongs te the most ancient aristo- cratic famity in that quarter of the globe. That, however, is of very little account in the republic of the United States, where nobody inquires or cares who @ man’s fa- ther was, much less his remote ancestors. The question is not what any individual's progenitors were or did, but what the individual is and does himself. Fach man cre- ates the patent of his own nobility, and ‘his deeds are hig ftatues,” like those of Marius the Roman plebian, whom the patricians called ‘a new man,” ‘“e man without an- cestors.’’ We believe that Mr. O’Brien is willing to be judged by this standard rather than by ancestral fame. ‘The motto of his family is well illustrated in his own per- son, at least inthe “high endeavor,” if not in the “gla success.’ That motto is im the Irish language—Lamh laidir an nachtar—* The strongest hand uppermost.’ Yeta reference to Mr. O’Brion’s family connections and an- cestry is not out of place here, bearing as they do upon bs politcal careet. ta Troha.
