SMYTH, P.J. (1826-1885).--One of the youngest of the Young Ireland leaders. He escaped from Ireland to the United States after the collapse of the insurrection, and carried out the rescue of Mitchel from Van Diemen's Land. On his return to Ireland he re-entered politics, and sat in the British Parliament successively for Westmeath and Tipperary. STANLEY, LORD (1802-1869).--Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the British Liberal Government, 1846-52. STAUNTON, MICHAEL.--Proprietor of the _Morning Register_ newspaper and an alderman of the Dublin Corporation. His memory survives as the involuntary agent of bringing Duffy and Davis together--and thus leading to the foundation of _The Nation_. STEPHENS, JAMES (1825-1901).--A Kilkenny railway employe. Afterwards chief organiser of the Fenian movement, of which, with O'Mahony and Doheny, he was one of the founders. TORRENS, JUDGE.--Called to the Bar, 1798, raised to the Bench, 1823, where he sat for thirty-three years. WILDE, SIR THOMAS (1782-1855).--Lord Truro, Attorney-General to the British Liberal Government in England, 1846; afterwards Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Lord Chancellor of England, 1850-2. WILLIAMS, RICHARD DALTON (1822[E]-1862).--One of the most popular of the poets of the _Nation_. The Government prosecution failed in his case, and he emigrated to the United States where he became Professor of Belles Lettres in the University of Mobile. WYSE, SIR THOMAS (1791-1862).--One of O'Connell's lieutenants in the Catholic Association, of which he wrote a history. He declined to support Repeal, but favoured what is now known as Federal Home Rule, served as a Lord of the Treasury in Melbourne's administration, and afterwards for many years as British minister at Athens. He was a man of superior character to the ordinary type of place-seekers, and his writings won him a temporary European reputation.
