The religious exercises in “connection with and preliminary to the O'Connell Centennial Celebration in this city took place to-day. THE SERVICES AT THE ALTAR, Pontifical high mass was celebrated at the Cathedral of Dublin, Marlborough street. THE PRELATICAL PROCESSION. The numerous ecclesiastical ‘dignitaries who assisted at the services, which were con- ducted by His Eminence Cardinal Manning, of Westminster, formed in procession and moved at slow pace to the church, passing through a dense crowd of silent and rever- ential spectators. CARDINAL CULLEN AT ITS HEAD, The procession was headed by the Pri- mate of Ireland, His Eminence Cardinal- Archbishop Paul Cullen, was composed of four archbishops, forty bishops and 500 priests, attired in the robes, canonicals and vestments of their respective offices. The scene was one of imposing magnifi- cence. . THE PEOPLE PRESENT IN THOUSANDS. An immense concourse of people had as- sembled im the grounds inside the cathedral boundaries, as well as in the adjacent streets. The cathedral building was filled to its uttermost recesses. THE MUSIC. A brilliant programme of sacred music was performed. TBE ARCHBISHOP OF CASHEL IN THE PULPIT. The Most Reverend Archbishop Croke of Cashel delivered the sermon, which was de- voted entirely to illustrating the religious character of O'Connell and the pious tendency of all the works and efforts of the Irish Lib- erator. e POLITICS IN THE PULPIT. He said in the course of his sermon that the Irish people were being educated under a State system, which, if not all they eould desire, was in many respects useful. “The foreign Church,’’ he added, ‘has been humbled. The rights of the ocetpicrs of the soil have, to some extent, been recognized, and we are fast working ourselves into a po- sition of equality and independence which every subject should occupy under the pro- tection of what Iam not afraid to designate as the best balanced constitution in the world.” WILL THE MORAL YORCE PRINCIPLE PREVAIL? It is the general belief now that there will be no disturbance during the parade and ceremonies to-morrow, at least of a partisan nature, unless the accessions to the ranks of the processionists from England and Scotland should take offence at the apprehended turn the celebration exercises may be given, Ten thousand strangers arrived in the city on Wednesday, the 4th inst, NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, tion” societies have been held in the interest of the national and international ideas to be represented in the demonstration to-morrow. WHO WILL DELIVER THE ORATION? Strong efforts have been made to induce the Lord Mayor’s party ‘to substitute Mr. Isaac Butt, M. P., in the place of Lord O’ Hagan, as the orator who shall pronounce the eulogium upon O'Connell. THE REASON WHY. Ahome rule character would thus have been given the affair, which would have ‘made it at least more popular with all classes in Ireland, PARTY DISAPPOINTMENT APTER FAILURE. But the efforts in this direction have failed, and, as usual in such cases of disappointed partisanship, threats are foolishly made of in- terruption to Lord O'Hagan if he speaks. The houses are decorated with banners, garlands and mottoes, There is a great dis- play of green. THE PROGRAMME OF FETES. For the next two days the programme will be, in brief, as follows: — Grand Procession to-morrow, Friday, Au- gust 6. Display of fireworks, Phoonix Park, Satur- day night, August 7. THE CIVIC CELEBRATIONS. Dusirs, August 5—Night. The banquet given by the Lord Mayor of Dublin to-night in honor of the memory of O'Connell was a brilliant affair, , * four HUNDRED DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Four hundred persons sat down to table, including His Eminence Cardinal Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin; Prince Eduard Rad- ziwill, Mgr. Nardi, representing His Holiness the Pope; Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, Mr. Daniel O’Connell, a grandson of the Liber- ator; Bishop Lachat, of Basle; the Earl of Granard, Most Rev.

A despatch was received from the Pope giving blessings to all persons assisting at the ; Centenary celebration. THE POPE'S HEALTH. The health of the Pope was proposed first. Mgr. Nardi responded on behalf of His Holiness. TO THE QUEEN. ; The Queen’s health was proposed next. The toast was received with loud cheering. TO THE MEMORY OF 0’ CONNELL. The toast to the memory of O’Connell was responded to by a grandson of the Liberator and by His Grace Archbishop MacHale, who said, ‘England was once under the govern- ment of France, anf yearned for deliverance | from the thraldom. It was not strange that Ireland should now yearn for home govern- ment, as did England of old.” THE IRISH HIERARCHY. His Eminence Cardinal Cullen responded to the toast to the Irish hierarchy. SPEECHES IN FRENCH. French speeches were made by the Bishops of Nantes and Basle. A DAUGHTER OF O'CONNELL. During the banquet Mrs. Fitzsimon, eighty- | four years of age, the widow of Christopher Fitzsimon, of Glencullen, and the only living daughter of the Liberator, appeared in one of the galleries accompanied by the Lady Mayoress and her daughter and a numerous party of distinguished ladies. Her presence was hailed with enthusiastic cheers. IMMENSE CROWDS IN DUBLIN. The influx of people to the city is extraor- dinary. Many of them are encamped in tents in the streets. THE CENTENARY CONCERTS, The centenary concerts were given in Ex- hibition Palace this afternoon and evening, and were attended by vast numbers of people. The oratorio of ‘Elijah’ was given in the afternoon, and in the evening the following magnificent ode, by Denis Florence McCarthy, was recited at the second concert:— THE O'CONNELL CENTENARY ODE, L Harp of my native land, ‘That lived anew ‘neath Garolan’s master hand; Harp on whose electric chorés, Borne as if on Ariel’s wings, Touched every tender soul From listening pole to pole.

Boyhood had passed away from the child, predes- tined by fate To dry the eyes of his mother, to end the worst of her ills, Aud the terrible record of wrong, and the annals of hell and hate, Had gathered into his breast like a lake in the ~heart of the niils, Brooding over the past, he found himself but a slave, With manacies forged on his mind and fetters on every limb, The lana that was life to others to him was only a grave, And however the race he ram no victor wreath Was for him, The fane of learning was closed, shut out was the Might of day, No ray from the sun of science, no brightness from Greece or Rome, And those who hungered for knowledge, like him, had to fly away, Where bountilul France threw wide the gates that were shut at home. And there he happtly learned a lore far better than books, A lesson he taught forever, and thunderea over the land, 2 That Liberty’s self is a terror, how lovely may her looks, If religion is notin her heart, and reverence gulde not her hand, The steps of honor were barred ; it was not for him to climb, No glorious goal in the future, no prize for the labor of life, And the fate of nim and his people seemed fixed for all coming time, To hew the wood of the helot and draw the Waters of strife. + Iv. Bat the glorious youth returning Back from France the fair and free, Rage within his bosom burning, Such a servile sight to see, Vowed to heaven it should not be, “No!” the youthful champion cried, “Mother Ireland, widowed bride, If thy freedom can be won By the service of a son, Then, behold that son in me. I will give thee every hour, Every day shall be thy dower, In the splendor of the light, In the watches of ihe night, In the shine and in the shower, I shall work but for thy rignt.” v. 1782 1800, A dazzling gleam of evanescent glory Had pa: way, and all was dark once more, One golden page had he mournfal story, Which ruthless hands with envious rage out- tore, be One glorious sunburst, radiant and far-reaching, Had pierced the cloudy veil dark ages wove, When full-armed Freedom rose trom Grattan’s * teaching, As sprang Minerva from the brain of Jove.

Letters and Arts revived beneath its beaming; Commerce and Hope outspread their swelling sails, And with “Free Trade” upon their standard gleaming, Now feared no foes and dared adventurous gales, Across the stream the gracefal arch extended, Above the pile the rounded dome arose, The soaring spire to heaven’s high vault ascended, The loom hummed loud as bees at evening's close.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Dusty, August 5—Evening. In consequence of the illness of his daugh. ter Lord O'Hagan’s address, which he had prepared to deliver in person to the O’Connell centenary celebration assemblage, will . be read to the people by the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor of Dublin to-morrow, after the procession through the streets, from a platform erected on the site of the intended monument to the memory of the Liberator. The oration commences with the statement that the day commemorates more than honor to a man; it commemorates the redemption of ‘a people, the noblest service ever rendered by a citizen to his fellow men. HIS GENIUS. O'Connell was one of those rare beings whose lives only commence when they have achieved a fall measure of earthly immortal- ity. When he was born the people of his race and the religion of that people lebored under an oppression as complete and degrad- ing as ever overwhelmed a prostrate people. Ireland was the outcast of the nations. HIS ADVENT. But the hopr and the man had come for her deliverance, i INSPIRATION FROM AMERICA. The year of his birth witnessed the out- break of the American war for independence. Lexington was the herald of events the memory of which has just given to our transatlantic brethren the occasion for a national celebra- tion as happy as that of O'Connell's cente- nary. The American success in the first battle for liberty poured new life into the wornout nationalities of the Old World, ani- mating the efforts of the people for freedom everywhere. THE BARRIERS WHICH OPPOSED HIS YOUTHFUL EFFORTS, Daniel O’Connell commenced his public career with every possible obstacle against him, HIS MEANS OF CONQUEST, But he possessed a buoyant nature, un- sleeping vigilance, energy, patience, the faculty of boundless invention, faith in his cause and indomitable resolution for its de- fence and triumph, No reverse could daunt him. A THINKER AND AN ORATOR. His brain and his tongue were from the first the only weapons which he possessed. But his brain was fertile and massive, and his tongue has been in many respects never equalled in its power of giving utterance to the thoughts and will of the mind, Here the sneaker described the wonderful SHEET. eloquence and the oratoricaf style of the Liberator. 1824—TH£ CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. Lord O'Hagan then traced the events of mililons O'Connell's public career onward to the year | 1824—the year when the Catholic Associa- | tion was formed, an organization which | ™ aroused the whole country to a sense of its position, and ultimately banded the Catholic | millions of Ireland together as one man re- solved to do the work of men engaged ins last and deadly struggle tor freedom. ITS UNIVERSALITY AND MORAL POWER, This organization was made perfect under the direction and supervision of O'Connell | from the centre of the island to the sea, and, unbought and unforced, its members ren- dered obedience to its chief more absolute than did the serfs of the State tos Roman emperor or an Eastern caliph. His LXPEWIENCE OF THE “RED REVOLUTION. Having witnessed the horrors of the French Revolution, and having mourned over the miseries which were produced by the Irish rebellion of 1798, O'Connell stood forth and | taught the new political gospel, that civil | liberty is worthless when it is secured by a bloody purchase, HIS PEACEFUL ALTERWATIVES. And he achieved his great triumph through ® peaceful and just use of the franchise, which had formerly been prostituted by the people to their own debasement, A NATION RESUSCITATED, The serfs of Ireland assumed the attitude of freemen, They stormed the citadels of the ascendancy in Church and State, which soon fell one by one before the liberating con- queror of the conqueror of Waterloo, by the coup de grace which was given to the strong- holds of intolerance and exclusion at the | Whee s nation Clare election. THE CLARE ELECTION. That election was a unique event in the history of the world. It was a prophecy of | ©! the venerable Jobn Keogh that emancipation would be carried when a Catholic would be elected and sent to Parliament, A FIRST ATTEMPT TO SECURE ITS FULFILMENT. The chief of the Catholics attempted its fulfilment. A great encounter came on between the lords of the soil and the people, The issue was found to be momentous and decisive. THE GOVERNING POWER BEATEN. All possible efforts were made in order to insure a victory for the British government, But it was in vain. The prestige of the English dominion in Ireland had departed. The fetters of interest and of custom had been wrenched away. The voters of Clare listened to the voice of their priests and defied the commands of their landlords, and, thus demonstrating their fitness for liberty by | He found 4,000,800. of their observance of order.and temperance, ae fo an they elected O'Connell to Parliament and won emancipation. NOT FOR THEMSELVES ALONE. The emancipation triumph was not won for the Irish Catholics alone, but also for the Protestants of Ireland. TRUTH AND REASON BENEFIT HUMANITY. It was a victory of truth and reason and of universal application. HIS DEFAMERS. At this point the oration discusses the slanders which were uttered against O’ Connell at different periods of his life, AFTER EMANCIPATION, Lord O'Hagan then proceeds to deal with the matter of O'Connell's career after emanci- pation, which was, he says, ‘‘ever in the in- terest of popular reform and for the benefit of the human race without distinction. ” THE GRAND LESSON OF HIS LIFE, The oration concludes with an eloquent statement ot the grand cardinal principles of O'Connell's life, thus: — First—The assertion of civil and religious liberty. Second—Such liberty is not necessarily associated with revolution. Third—That moral force is always prefer- able to physical for the accomplishment of great political results.

THE CELEBRATION IN BOSTON. Boeron, August 5, 1875, The Centennial anniversary © birth of Daniel O'Connell, the Illustrious Liberator, was most appropriately observed in Bostom this even- ing. Tae exercises to-night, Rowever, were only preliminary to the more general celebration to- morrow evening; but they were attended and participated in by some of the most distinguished representative Americans and Irishmen of New England, Sueh men as Generals Butler and Banks were at the banquet table, and letters of regret and apology were read from some of the most eminent of New England scholars and statesmen. One of the features of the banquet ‘was the presence of Robert Morris and Robert Morris, Jr., colored attorneys of Boston, both of whom positions of non Vice President of the evening.
