I apprehend to be nothing more than the mere trace of the laborious occupations in which his life has been passed. On the whole, I would say of his exterior, including face, and form, and apparel, that it was individualized by a certain republican homeliness, intimating a natural, careless manliness of taste, and not without its peculiar dignity.

I intended, when I sat down, to have entered upon some of the details of the Dublin election and its sequel; but the subject, I find, would carry me too far: let me therefore for the present merely say that, after an obstinate struggle, the corporation, that cumbrous excrescence upon our institutions, was fairly prostrated, and the popular candidates returned. The triumph was celebrated with all due rites and solemnities. I witnessed the chairing from a window in Grafton street. The sun shone brightly on the procession as it passed-but not more brightly than the countenance of our venerable and patriotic veteran, Mr. Peter Burrowes, who had taken his station at an opposite balcony, and looked down (as his friend Louis Perrin was wafted along) with a smile of joyous and ineffable thanksgiving, that he had been spared to see that day.
