qiHE SPRING TIME IS COMING The spring time is coming , and sunshine , and shower , And many a green leaf , and blossom , and flower ; And blythe birds all singing , while echoes declare The sweet tones of love that are murmuring there . The spring time is coming—and balmy the air—Which rambles through nature her beauties to share ; When lover meets lover , away from the cot , Where the woodbine entwines the sweet moss-bedded grot . . The spring time is coming—old age at the door Looks out with delight o'er the woodland and moor ; The young ones are sporting , like wild mountain deeT ; And the village games now on the fresh green appear .

BRIGHTON . —On Tuesday evening , March , 29 th . Mr . O'Connor delivered one of tho most soulstirriDg lectures we ever had the gratification to witness , aad ihe first , we believe , ever delivered in Brighten on the subject , viz ., — " The Repeal of the ¦ Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland . " At eight o ' clock , the time fixed for the commencement of the Jectnre , the place was crowded in all parts by upwards of two thousand of the inhabitants of Brighton . The place in which the lecture was delivered , was the covered Market Place , Under the Town Hall . A capacious platform was erected , on vrhicli about 100 females were seated . On Mr . O'Connor making his appearance he-was greeted by loud rounds of applause . Mf . John Good was una-
nimously called to the chair , and after a- few observations introduced their friend O'Connor , who , on rising , was again met by the loud cheers of the meeting . Mr . O'Connor ' s lecture was one , which to give a mere outline of would be an utter impossibility . For two hours the impassioned eloquence of the devoted son of Erin , made the place ring with the denunciations of his country ' s oppressors . The wrongs of Ireland—the rights of her people , were depicted and vindicated ; amid the repeated cheerings of the meeting , though there were a few who seemed inclined to create a disturbance , but were speedily pat dovra , and also put out of the place ' , we are sorry to iind that one of the dis : urbers waa an Irish repealer , but if there was one to disturb the meeting there
were a hundred to ^ eep the peace , and while we are sorry to record one poor deluded man and repealer , as a disturber , it gratifies us to record , and we do it with pride , when we say that the majority of the Irish Repealers ia Brighton were present , and left the meeting with expressions of thanks to Mr . O'Connor for the lecture of that evening . Behind Mr . O'Connor sat three Irish repealers very respectably dressed and expressed themselves highly gratified with the lecture and told us that they vronld go anywhere to hear another lecture of the same stamp and by the same man . Some of the repealers , " the influentials" as they call themselves , got np a supper for their poorer coantrymen to keep them from the lecture , bat it
was oo go ; they were determined to set , to hear and to judge for themselves , and many paltry prejudices that had been created in their minds against O'Connor , were that evening removed . At the close of the lecture ] he announced himself as intending to stand as candidate for the forthcoming election for Brighton , amidst the most rapturous applause . This lecture and Mr . O'Connor ' s intention of being on the hustings at the anticipated election , will create in Brighton a vast feeling in favour of the principles of the Charter . The labourers from the surrounding Tillages will attend and back up the men of Brighton . The name of O'Connor will strike terror into the heaits of the enemies of the people ' s freedom . The cry must be n O'Connor ' . —Brooker !! and tbe Charter lii "
