" At e ) ght o ' clock , the time fixed for the commencement of the lecture , 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 tae coYeted Market Place , under the - Town Hall . A capacious platform was erectad . on which about 100 females were seated . Oa Mr . O'Connor making hi 3 appearance he was greeted by loud rounds of applause . Mr . John Good was

      unanimously called to the chair , and after a few observation 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 fa . tr people , were depicted and vindicated ; amid the repeated cheerings of the meetiDg , though there were a few who seemed inclined to create a disturbance , but were speedily put down , and also put out of the place ; we are sorry to iind that one of the disturbers was an Irish repealer , but if there was one to disturb the meetiug there to

      were a ^ hundred keep 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 in Brighton were present , and left the meeting with expressions of thank 3 to Mr . O'Connor for the lecfc are of that evening . Behind ilr . O'Connor sat three Irish repealers very respectably dressed and expressed themselves highly gratified with the lecture snd told us that they would go anywhere to hear another lecture of the same stamp and by the same man . Some of the repealers , " the influentials" as they eall themselves , got up a supper for their poorer countrymen to keep them from the lecture , but it was no go ; they were determined to se ? , 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 lectore , 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 villages , will attend and back up the men of Brighton . The name of O'Connor will strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of the people ' s freedom . The cry must be " O'Connor 1—Brooker J J and the darter !! ' "
