Hogan been allowed to execute a statue for Moore, it would have been
accomplished _con amore_, and in a way worthy of the poet and of the
sculptor.

The month of February witnessed the death, at the advanced age of
ninety, of John Landseer, the celebrated engraver. He left behind him
three sons, all eminent--George, Charles, and Sir Edwin.

Among the deaths of remarkable persons in April was that of General
Arthur O'Connor, aged eighty-nine, at the Chateau de Rignon, near
Nemours. This notable person was one of the leaders in the terrible
Irish rebellion of 1798. He was the third son of Roger Connor, of
Connorville, by Anne Longfield, sister of Lord Longueville. He was
called to the Irish bar in 1788. Lord Longueville returned him to the
Irish parliament as representative of Philipstown, in the King's County,
in the year 1790. Lord Longueville afterwards deprived him of his seat
in parliament, and disinherited him, by which a loss occurred to Mr.
O'Connor of L10,000 a-year, in consequence of his violent advocacy, in
the Irish parliament, of "Catholic emancipation." He afterwards became
a leader of the "United Irishmen," and one of "the Directory of Five,"
of that body. After various unsuccessful efforts to separate Ireland
from Great Britain, he was arrested, and made an ingenious and desperate
effort to escape, assisted by the Earl of Thanet. In 1804, he was
deported from Ireland, his life being spared on condition, it was
alleged, of some disclosures as to the plans for insurrection even then
entertained by him and his colleagues. Buonaparte made him a general of
division, and he subsequently received further promotion in the French
army. In 1809 he married a niece of Marshal Grouchy, daughter of the
Marquis Condorcet, the French mathematician. In 1834, he was permitted
by Earl Grey, then in power in England, to revisit Ireland for the
purpose of disposing of some property inherited by him, and which the
British government had not confiscated. With the proceeds he purchased
the chateau where Mirabeau was born, and there General O'Connor died.
The celebrated agitator Fergus O'Connor, once member of parliament for
Cork, and afterwards for Nottingham, was nephew to the general.
