O'BRIEN AFTER HIS ARREST. We have received some particulars of the appearance and ,.conduct of Mr. O'Brien at the time of his arrest. He was dressed in a suit of black, not apparently soiled or • disordered. One of his first acts on reaching the gaol was to taka off his shoes and stockings, his feet to all appearance being much swollen from walking. He looked emaciated. The expression of his eye was wild, and that of a man who had been subject to very great excite- ment. Beyond an appearance of utter prostration of mind and body, which might be the natural result of what he has gone through, there was nothing either in his appearance or speech to warrant the popular opinion that he has been for some time insane. To all questions put to him as to where he had been, and what were his intentions, and so on, he gave the "most consistent answers; but, at the same time, with the manner of a man so suffering from excitement that iliis intellect was unstrung. He inquired most affectionately ,after Meagher, Dillon, and his other companions. He was under the impression that it was Dillon, and not young Ste- phens, of Kilkenny, who had been shot in the thigh at Bal- lingarry. He asked for tea. He was treated with consider- able attention, but with a due regard to the awful stake lie had at issue. When they were about to bring, in a sofa to the room where he was, he declined to have it, and said he would sleep on it in another room adjoining. O'Brien said he had felt it impossible to hold out any longer, as all his friends had forsaken him. He said, I was ^promised the support of a nation, to drive the English from -the country." He added that he had been induced to leave ibis retreat in the hills, because the farther he went the more "the people seemed to fear to harbour him, or hold any com- munication with him. When asked the localities in which he had been, he seemed utterly ignorant of their names, and seemed surprised that ,the authorities should know them. His whole demeanour was that of a man jaded and pros- trate. His expression, that of undescribable despair.
