Y,—ln ancient times the clan " O’Mulloy" (in Gaelic, 0'llIael«mhuaidh) gave lords para- mount to an extensive territory, designated Fern Ceall—— i. e. " Men of the Chnrches”-which comprised the mod- ern baronies of Fircall, or Eglish, Ballycowan, and Bally- boy, in the King’s County. This was the southern portion of the ancient. pi-iiioipiility ot’ Midlre, or “Meath,” and was bounded on the south by Ely O‘Carroll, then part of Munster, but now included in the King’s County. The Ohllulloys are of the same origin as the O‘Melagblins, Kings of llleiitb, Mageoghegans, MacCaharnies (called the Foxes), and ()‘Kiiidellaii, or 0‘Quinlan——-that is, of the Southern Ui Neill. The chiefs of Fora Ce-all were at one time very powerful and warlike. They were subjected to English rule in the reign of Elizabeth, and had the oliice of Royal Standard-bearers of Leinster conferred up- on them by that queen. They were, of course, made hereditary landlords. according to the foreign law of pri- mogeniture, instead of being the elected administrators of the land, which was theretofore owned in common by all their kindred. The family estates acquired thus equivocally by those who were, in a worldly sense, the more lucky of the race, were for the most part lost dur- ing the Cromwelliau and Williamite wars. O‘Dugan thus designates the chief of Fera Ceal-l :- “ O’Mulloy of the noble name Is Prince of Fera Ceall of Swords ; _". Full power is granted unto him To rule his country uncontrolled.” We will feel particularly obliged to any friend or rea- der, who may know any of the children or friends of James Hunter, mentioned in Hope’s memoir, who could inform us what became of him, and whether he left any family, and if so, who and where they are.

I She was, but yesterday, methought, A teing bright, With freshnes, health, and beauty fraught, . And life and light. Ah 1 who could deem, that in a. day, Such loveliness would be but clay ? . II. The home, then lighted with her smile, Is cheerless now, And icy worms, alas! defile - Her peerless brow ; While all that circled round her love, Cold, mute, and broken-hearted prove. III. Her step was light, her form was fair, And, in her mien, We-re. grace and stateliness and air, As in a. queen ; Yet was she gently ‘toned and mild, As breathing of a sleeping child. ’ IV. Her voioe’s melting, mellow, tone, - Like seraplfs breath, That had a music all its own, Is mute in death ; And where it made a. holiday, Are heard but echoes of decay. V. Did she but rest by lIona’s shore, Where echoes deep, Of Beansighe’s wail, would circle o’er Her drenmless sleep, With daisies, glinting through her bed, They'd scarcely deem her with the dead. VI. They'll scarcely deem her dead, whose team lncessant fall— - Her Morena, worn by care and years, And, most of all, _ By thisfithe latest, deepest grief, Th-at finds not, even in tears, relief ;— VII. . And Srsrnzs dear, to whom she seemed " ' A} light and guide, _ That on their’ orphunediexile beamed, » . r i By Heaven supplledd; A . . awn, 8.nce all this light has been withdrawn! VIII. But death of death! that she shouldgbe, ' By stranger-hand, Laid dteper down than eye can see , In stranger-land, Whose oral and repulsive clay Shrinks from the exi‘.e’s touch away. - IX. ‘ But o'er the gloom is radiance steals, And (1 mly shines.

Colonel Oliver Byrne drilled the Pike Company, second Regiment. htnnix Brigade. at head-quarters, Eagle Drill Rooms. In addition to thi- 'mannal of the pikes, the Company was put through sev- eral znanmuvres. i-ucbas forming from one line, singli- file, two and three deep; forming circle, facing outwards. and preparing to receive cavalry. Although the Compa- ny ia yet. in its infancy. it displayed an amount of pro- fioiency highly creditable to all the members, but more «specially to -the commandant, who is already dlSl.l'I guighed by his very able work on the "Art of War.” and other productions on civil and military engineering of a high order. From what we have seen of the pike drill. we have no hesitation in asserting that no body of men could witbi-tand t.be charge of a prtrperly d scipliiii-d corps, armed with our unerring national weapon. Let. all our young Irishmen, who have any taste for fighting on the old sod, lose not the present opportunity of becoming acquainted with theuse of that tool which scattered the Saxon army at Oulartarid New Ross. THE i?1«r(ENrX.ii NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1860 % THF SIC.ILI1lN TRIUMPII. Sicily is free, free to stand up in her own right as a sovereign nation, with her own insti- tutions and government, laws and guarantees of independence. prouder position. In a few short weeks, she has shaken off the slough of centuries, and stood up in the whiteness oflier soul, discnthralled, without owing anything even, to the good wishes of those who sympathized with her. been a marvel. Not two months, ago Naples had concentered in and round Palermoa brave disci- lined and well appointed army amounting to nearly fifty thousand men. ' This army was well apportioned--—a.rtillery, cavalry and infantry-—-well igencralled and well provided. It was loyal, en- thusiastic and brave. It was besides seconded by a powerful and eflicient navy, in the waters of Palermo. It occupied very strong positions, some of them supposed to be impregnable. The emeute, for it was so called by the government, was suppressed‘. The “disturbers” were scat- tered, and “dying of hunger on the hills,” or dying of thehaltcr on the scaffold. Such was the state of things—the relative positions of the parties—-when Garribaldi fiun himself into the struggle. The London Times says he did so because “he knew Sicily,” we say because he knew himself, and felt he could make the_Sicily he desired. He did make it, and is it, so made, that has succeeded. Nothing else could. A new Archimedes, if he merely plotted and thouglit, and thought and plotted, would never see the dawn of redemption’s day. Action is not only the way‘to, but the assurance of, suc- cess. In this instance, at all events, it has been provedso. Garibaldi had but 1,500 men. He had no cannon and no cavalry. He had scarcely any munitionsof war; be abandoned his guns and his vessels, and with his small band stood S without means of escape or hope on the island. By what word ought such a man be called, then ? “ fircbrand,” “ bandit,” “ madcap,” “desperado,” were the mildest epithets applied to him. There is scarcely any word now sufliciently strong and expressive to designate his heroism. ~ While the minds of almost all, whoohear of Gariba.ldi’s brilliant achievements are dazzled by their grandeur, there are not a few who begin ‘to read, by their light, the means, agencies and hopes of a similar deliverance. In this significa- tion, it is, that history will attach most import- ance to the Sicilian campaign‘. One lesson of the highest significance which it has taught all men, is that courage, daring and genius, opposed by disciplined slavery, no matter how powerful are, invincible. It has realized, in practical efi'ect, the poet’s idea, ' ‘ "Pia heart alone, Worth steel and stone, That makes man free for ever; an idea, which in view_ of the wonderful ad ‘vanco made ll! the art of war, and the astonish- ing improvements, in the instruments of destruc- tion, any one would be pronounced a poet, if not a fool, for entertaining. ' 1 John Bull has became amaz‘ngly edified by Garibaldi’s success. He does not conceal his exultation; Through his mouth-piece, the Times, he glories in.the lesson which will give “liberty to despotic Europe,” including, of course, that. small spot, where his own despotism‘ is in, full blast. ‘We are grateful for the hint; and, it may be, some one would act thereon. It is plain and equally suggestive. Naples had an army, _ superior in calibre, in numbers, and confidence- to anything England could muster -in Ireland within the next; twelve months, in a certain, event. She would not dare to withdraw one man from the East. Her nursery for recruits would be lost to her. Englishmen -do not light for fun; they are not fond of lighting even for pay. There are at lgast six millions of people in Ireland. They could furnish ten times as many fighting men_ as Sicily. We do not dis- parage the Sicilians, in saying that, they could, at » least, fight as well ; indeed, if the accounts we a . ~ . No country over yet occupied, a i Her success . has- 5for the subjects of others. have read of the connduct, of the Sicilian insur- gents, be not greatly discolored, they would fight infinitely better. ' Again, there is not a fortress ‘in all Ireland 3 nor a. barrack wall that would not yield to a few blows of a. slgdge. There is nowhere a plain, one hundred perches in length, without a ditch or a fence, which would form a natural rampart for the insurgents. By cutting up the roads, an army corps with its baggage could not march live miles in a day. They could be everywhere surrounded, everywhere harrasscd, flanks front. and rear. No army Englrnd can now raise would stacd one winter campaign in Ireland. Gold, Web, ‘bad roads, an impassable country and the desultory attacks of guerrilla parties, would disable, disorganizc and annihilate it in three months without» risking a. man. ‘ Taking the data of the Times, this could be done; taking the suggestions of the Times, it ought to be done, in Ireland. The people of Ire- land have had torture, burning, murder, outrage and insult, to fire their memories and their blood, and now they have actually counsel and encou- ragement from the enemy, and I “ Fa: est ab /roste doceri.” If the adage were ever true and applicable,it is true and applicable, to the letter, here. He has ..., spurned us, goaded us, lashed us, into resistance and retribution, and he now sets to teaching us by- example. He realizes, in our regard, the memorable aspiration : “ Would that miaie enemy /rad written a book.” Nor is this all. England has not only’ estab- lished,-that it is just, righteous and practicable to resist tyranny; but declared that all people have a right to choose their own form'of_ gov- crnment, without interference from any power or nation. The idea of establishing a_ government by universal suffrage is Napoleonic. In the hands of Napoleon, and under his bayonets, it may have been a farce ; but it has since acquired a wide basis, and an important significance. It has been recognized as supreme authority, inhe-- rent and indefensible in the -people, and controll- ing aud annulling, the designs, decrees, and treaties of the rowsrzs. Its recognition is the rolling away of the stone, preparatory to recur. rection. England, to be sure, has not tried it, in practice; -but she has reverenced, and bowed to it, when practised by others. If she could ever, or under any circumstances, be bound by pledge or promise, or treaty, she would be bound by the sovereign right of the people, which she has osten tatiously proclaimed. Why she has proclaimed it, it is not easy to see. It may be, that she hopes thereby to blind Europe to the state of feeling, now existing in Ireland and in India. This is possible only on two suppositions. First, that the people of Ire- land are so utterly broken, in spirit a'nd heart, that they will suffer any outrage, endure any wrong, bow to any insult sooner than seek to right or redress themselves. Secondly, that even, if by possibility they did take heart, she has them so entangled in a web of half diplomacy, half terrorism, that she could easily turn upon, and crush them. Again, it may be that she has been persuaded by the lying promises of those Irish sycophants, who prey upon the crumbs of garbage, flung to them from the alfluence of her table that the people are “ loyal,” which means content with beggary and’ the bufibonery of the “better classes” who balance patriotism and pay, loyalty and lucre as a clown would two poles on his nose and chin. But it matters little what her motive or her object is ; nor do we, for one moment, cherish the hope, she will allow those, she calls her subjects, to the rights, she claims What is really im- portpnt is, that the French empire is based upon the popular will, and it cannot, without ques- tioning its own validity, interfere with the exer- cise of that will by any other nation. ' These are the Iessonsof the Sicilian revolution. Let them be read and taken well toheart.‘ ——%——>~Q~<——.. caniuns To Rock. BA'r'rr.r«:rrnr.n or Loxo Isnuro, June 21, 1860.
