THE CELEBRATION IN NEW YORK. The Committee of Arrangements for the U'Uon- nell Centenary celebration are straiming every Berve to make the afair as creditable as possible, The short time that has elapsed sitice tne resolu, tion was arrived at to have a celebration has pre- | vented them from making the affair as Imposing as it might have been had it been taken up at an eariier date and had the co-operation ofa number of intelligent and influential Irishmen been se- cured, whose names would command the confl- dence of the people. This shortuess of time and the absence of the men alluded to were very serious drawbacks; but the committce—who are Mostly unknown men and merely delegated from the various organizations that parade on the 17th of March—iave done the best they could under the circumstances and kave been untiring im their exertions, They have succeeded beyond their anticipations, being greatly helped by the general desire feit among Irisiimen nere tnat the day should not pass without some betitting trib- ute tothe memory of tue great Tribune. But, though the existence of this desire is unmistaka- ble, the almost total lack of enthusiasm among the Irish people of this city is very noticeable. This can be accounted for by the fact that the great majority of Irisnmen of the present day, while admiring O’Conueil’s genius and great ser- vices, put smali faita in his “peaceful, legal and constitutional? methods of redressing a nation’s Wrongs, aud rather incline to the doctrines ef the | more advanced school, in numberless tustances, ‘this fact was plainly stated toa MzRaLp reporter in nis searca for information on the sudject, and Not a few are to be found who will retrain entirely from participation in the celebration. The committtee bave made it a point to arrange | their invitations so as to secure a representation from ali religious denominations, and Americans, as Well as [risi, lave been iavited.

Mr. John Nolan, late Honorary Secretary of the Irish Amoesty Association and a memoer of the Council of the Home Rule League, was visited by a AABRALD reporter last evening at Sweeney's Hotel. Mr. Nolan was very reticent, staiing ne bad several times aiready refused to be interviewed, and that there are many things iM irish afairs that tt does no good to talk about. However, as this wasa matter of great importance, he said he would an- swer some necessary questions, asking him what was the object of tue National- iste intending to parade with emblems of mourn- ing tn the procession in Dublin to-day Mr. Nolan id, “1 don’t wellknow; but I suppose they want to demonstrate that it is wiser to. show sympathy for living men in British dungeons than to pay honors to dead patriots. There are some American citizens in British prisons for political ofences.’’ With regard to Cardinai Cullen, be said that while having ali due reverence for His Eminence as a dignitary of his Church in ais sacerdotui capacity, Re bore in mind that the Cardinul’s political ac- tion is guided by his Italian training, and tue Irish people think for themseives in politics.

Daniel O'Connell was born at Carhen, near Canirciveen, county Kerry, on August 6, 1775, being the eidest son of a Cathoilc tlemen and Mandowner, Morgan O'Connell. His family was | one which had fora long time oecupicd a proml- | mt position among the Catholics of Kerry, whieh | Was much noted for its national feeling. The ©’ Connelis claimed princely descent, and tn aiter | years it was remarked as a curious coincidence that their crest bore the proud motio, “Oculus | @connell, salus Hibernia.” The future statesmaa | was first sent to scnool near Cove, er Quecns- | | town as it is now called. During his boyhood the | | penal laws were yet unrelaxed, and the majority | of Roman Catuehcs were totally deprived of the | advantages oi education. Those who could afford it sent their caildren to France, and in 1791 young | O'Vennell was c | | ENFRUSTED ITO THE WANDS OF THE JESU | attne College of st. Omer, where he s00n gave | evidence of remarkable mental powers. In the | following year he entered the English College of Doual, where he remained jor a few months uatil the outbreak of the reign of terror, during the | French Revolution, ©’Conneli’s sympathies were strongly opposed to the movement which shat- | tered the throne and Charch of France, and the | frantic excesses of the revolutionists shocked | bia. + On hts return to Irelana ne found tne révolution- | ary spirtt rampant, and in 1798, when be was | } CALLED TO THR IRISH BAR, scones of bloodshed were veing enacted all over the country. His antipathy to armed resistance to the government lea him to join @ yeomanry corps composed of lawyers, but the scandalous scenes of State trials and the evil circum- Stances attending the Union profoundly impressed | | bim and stirred ap within his bresst the fire of | | Patriotism, Yet he was opposed to violent revo- | lution, sayimg that “he would accept no social | amelioration at the cost of a single drop of | blood.” } | Before touching pon the poittical services of | O'Connell it will be tnteresting to review | MIS BRILLIANT CAREER 48 A LAWYER, | His success wit juries, whether in criminal or nisi prtus cases, Was very great. He went on the | Munster Cireuit, which included the southern | counties of dreiand, and almost invariably ap- | | peared for the de/ence in ail criminal proseca- | | tions, Frequently be could not find time to read the prisoner's brief, but would get his attorney to | condense the leading iacts, and, while the crown | counsel Was speaking, he would master the en- | tire case, His skill in the cross-examination of | | witnesses was, indeed, wonderiul Many a tme the rope has seemed irrevocably entwined around | his client's neck, as many times has the dexterity | | of the counsel untied the Gordian knot. Richard | Lalor Sheil thus deserives him: | SUEIL’S PORTRAIT OF O'CONNELL. “Mr. O'Connell if not the ablest is certainly tne | most singular man at the Bar. He is singular, not | merely im the vigor of his facuities, but in their extreme variety and apparent tuconsisvency; and the same may be said of his character. Isec Dim | distinctly at one Moment a hard-neaded, working | lawyer, the next a giowing politician, the next a profound theologian; his features now sunk into | | the deepes: shade of patriotic anguish, now illu. | minated as for the celevration ofa national tri- | | umph, His frame Is tall, expanded and muscular, and his feat areatonce soit and manly, The forid glow of healta and a sanguine temperament is diffused over the whole countenance, which is national in the outiine and beaming with national | emotion.

He went down to the fleld o! battle accompanted by Shiel, Father Maguire, the deleated controversialist, Tom Steele, and O'Gorman Mahon, The latter two, ardent repeaiers, proposed and seconded O'Connell on the S0th of June, 1828, and the Hon. Wii. Vesey Fitzgerald was proposed and seconded by sir Edward Q’Brien, Smith O'Brien's fatuer, and Sir Augustus Fitgweraid, Alter a poll of six days O'Connell was declared auly elected by a ma- jority of 1,091. Te Ministry found that the tide of public opinion was irresistible, and during the bill was curried in the House of Lords by a major- icy of 105 and tn the Commons by 348 to 110. Dub- lin Was in 8 blaze of joy, and the hard-won victory was celebrated throughout the length aud breadth ofthe land, Thus was achieved by the gepius of & singie wan, WhO had entered on the contest with- out any advantage of rank, agrand revolution, bloodl and yet more im- portant tn its resulss than one of Wellington's vic- tories. REFUSING TO TAKE THE OATHS OF SUPREMACY AND AJ-LEGIANCE, On che 15th of May, 1829, O'Connell, accompanted by Lords Evringiou and Daucannon, appeared at the bar to claim Lis seat. ‘ike Clerk of the House tendered wim the odious oats of Supremacy aud allegiance, as taken previous to the passing of the Relel act. He refused, and the Solicitor Gen- eral then moved that anew writ be issued for vlaie. The second election took place on the 30tn July, 1829, and O’Couneli was returned without opposition, On the gu o: Feoruary, 1830, having been introduced by Sir Francis Burdett and Mr, M. A. laylor, be took the Oath as prescribed under Retiel act. He was the first Catholic who sat in Parliament for a perioa of 160 years, and he tells us Bimsell that he was the first irish Catholic who either in England or Ireland wus eiected to a seat im the Britisn Senate. MALIGNITY OF THE MINISTRY. The Ministry of Wellington and Peel, although | beimg obiged to yielu tue boon of emancipation to a@menace of @ Ration banded together, deter- mibed to render the act aa nugatory as possible and introduced measures suspeuding every. ves- tige of political liberty aud leaving the peuple as discontented as ever.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE REPEALERS. But the determined struggle for repeal was soon over. The indiscreet prociamation of a cav- alry procession at Ciontari in effect banged tae Repeal Association over to the government. The military style of that famous document attracted | the atiention of the government, who at once | Saw that iney held the agitation in the oollow of theifhands. The intended meeting was prohib- ited and tne repeal prosecutions followed. Tue State trials resuited in the Lmprisoument, on the oth of May, 1544, of the Liberator, gia son Johan, Tow Steeie, R.

Nobody seemed apie to keep this eholeric Orange attorney at rest for five consecutive minutes. Finaiiy, even while O'Connell was m the very act of arguing @ most important question, he leaped up once more, quite wnabasned, for the mere pur- pose of repeating, for the hundredth time, his out- rageeus interruption. But this overfilied toe measure of O’Connell’s wrath; All patience, rors around with the rapidity of lightning, and with his fiercest seowlon tue dis- turber 0! the peace, he roared, in tones of taunder, “sit down, you audacious, snarling, puguacious ramcat Quick as the few words, that ait of with such happy hanor the character of the ‘‘can- tankerous” attorney, flew irom his lips, shouts of laughter rang throug tae court.

THE BLEVENTH BRIGADE, OF THE STATE Wax TIONAL GUARD, BEFORE THE BUTTS XESTER- DAY. Troops from the Eleventh brigade (Brooklyn) Second division, N.G.S.N.¥., went out yesterday to the Creedmoor rifle ranges for ball practice. ‘Ene following named regiments had detachments on the ground:—Twenty-third regiment, seventy- foar officers, non-commissioned officers and rank and file, belonging to A and © companies (Vap- tain J. G. Story commanded tne detachment and Lieutenant Smith acted as inspector of rifle practice); Thirty-second regiment, ninety officers and men, from companies @ and D (Captain Lutz was in charge of the troops and Lieutenant Waage per- formed the duties of inspector of rifle practice) ; Forty-seventh regiment, sixty-two men of all ranks, from E and B companies, (Captain Hinrichs had charge of the men, and Lieutenant Bradly acted as inspecgor Of rifle practice). ‘The men turned out of their respective armories in time to take the naif-past nine o'clock A. M, train from Hunter's Point to Creedmoor. They were in undress uniform, With arms and ac- coutrements. The Twenty-third regiment was in light marching order, with knapsacks and great coats strapped on them. The officers carried their great Coats strapped to their backs, as if entering upon @ feld day in actual service. The troops were furnished with a day’s rations, and had Vwenty-elght rounds of bail cartridge served out to them. ‘The detachments reached Creedmoor soon aftet ten o’elock, and, before eleven, practice was com- menced at the 100 yaras range, This and the 150 yards range were Shot over before ration tune. ‘At half-past one o'clock the troops fell out of line and went torations.

The Twenty-third regiment sent back thirty out of seventy-lour men; the Tairty-second regiment, twenty-seven out of ninety, and the Forty-seventh regiment, twenty out of sixty-two men, Very good order was kept on the fleld during In marching back trom one range to an- other the ofMcers formed their men and marched in a military manner.

Tae other regiments, too, profiting by the example of the gallant Twenty-third, did very well, all things considered, The only irregalarity noticed waa that put a single sentry, instead of a strong guard, had been placed on the gate.
