Let them appeal to their landlorda—no doubt the times are severe. bnt the re medy is at home. Landlords must meet the times by a proper attention to the wants of their tenantry.— (This sentiment from Mr. Dobbs WAS peculiarly well received by his audience. [Front the Irishmen, The. 401 The Belfast papers have thodght proper to publish an address to the King, purporting to he an address from the Mayor and Corporation of Carrickfergus, agreed to on the 234 i instant at a tneeting held in Carrickfergus for that purpose. That the address pnblished w.is agreed to by the Mayor and a few gentlemen, about 23, who retired from the large assembly among which we sat, we have no doubt—nor have we any doubt that the ad dress published in the Belfast papers is mot the edam" proposed in the assembly room, before the entire eoe poration, by le Mayor, but that this published ad dress should oe ?tensed upon the public as the address of the Mayor and Corporation of Carrickfergus, is a hoax too great even far this humbugging season, and it Is now the Is ishma4's duty to expose the hoax, and lay before the people of the North and South the proceedings as they realy occurred without addition or diminution. For the substantial truth of the detail we now pledge ourselves, being eye and ear witnesses of all the facts that occurred. Mr. UOLIIKS.—I am a plain man, Mr. Mayor—but I always understood his Majesty's Gorertament to be his Majesty's .Vioutters; and sure I am, if that Ad dress goes forward, it will be called an Address to support the Ministers, win* *ant support, and not to capon the King, who does not want any support us. The Mayor has told us, the Ministers were moth' the contemplation of the drawers of this. Aal.'6 tietto. I hope mot, hot the world will say otherwise, and who would send forward an Address which went to support a set of men distinguished by a pro fl igate waste of the public treasure--an unprincipled con tempt for public opinion---a desperate effort to retain their places at all hazards, however sanguinary. Will my fellow citizens give their support to such Ministers ?—(No, no! from all qnarters—we are not Lisburn men—we are not to be hunstuggetl.) Sup pose (said Mr. Holmes), a gentleman, you, for instance, Mr. Mayor, have a steward, who, having the manage meat of his master's affairs, becomes extravagant, wastes and purloins the property under his there--1 in the habits of friendship with the man Ril abused-- I know something of the istewertrs coodurt--would it be tight for me to more& what I either knew or heard certainly think not ; and I therefore sub mit that those Ministers, who are the faithles stewards of his Majesty, may not he included in the Address: •r if included, that we should pray his Majesty to remove them. lint see further, Mr. May.)r---wliy is the word Family omitted in the A hires!, though the Mayor's notice to the Freemen of l'arrickfergns was to declare our allegiance and attachment to his Ma jesty's person, family, and government. Let the sen timent of Family he inserted in the Address, in the must proper and respectful manner—tin t, the King and Queen, and then the rest of the Koval Family. This would be the course, if the Family he in serted in the Address, 2croroling to the motive of Ow Mayor. _ _ _ About twenty minutes after 12 o'clock on Saturday last, the - Mayor (the Her. Mr. Dobbs) entered the assembly-room, immediately over the Market-house, and having taken his seat, he opened the business of the day by stating, that he had received a requisition from • members of the Corporation and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, requesting him to call the pre sent meeting,•, fur the purpose of taking into conside ration the propriety of preparing and agreeing to an address to the King. Ile felt it his duty, in obedience to that requisition, to cr►:tvene the present meeting Ile trusted that in the discussion nothing would be said or done to interrupt the harmony of their pro ceedings, he was then ready to hear any gentleman who thought proper to address him. I;P:ORGE 13ca►.e►i:n, Esq. then rose and said, he helot in leis band an address to his Majesty, which he would read for the assemble, and subunit to its adop tion. lie observed, that the propriety of euch an ad dress at the present mom,•nt, required but few argu ments to establish. It skirted the evils every man here must he ausions to re a., and pledged the hearty and sincere allegiati-e of this Corporttion, which lie hoped it would be unanito.ots in recording. Ile trusted no irrelevant ►natter would be introduced, be cause such Hiatt.: would only produce a discussion that might be calculated to create an annecessary Af ference of opinion in that as..euthly. He then beiged have to read Hit. arbtre••, which having been done, Hr. Dalwar rose and seconded the motion of Mr. Iturleigh. A consideralsle interval now tolk place, when Mr. Hohues, an independent Freeman of Carrickfergus, rose and addretse.l the Chair nearly in the following words -- Mr. Sec ut observed, that he ti:d tun believi• thr word Fainily was in the notice. The MAYOR answered that it was in the notice, avid bore testimony to the corre.-tness of Mr. Holmes's statement. A Preen's!' then came forward, Mimic name we du nut recollect, awl said, it was no wonder the present meeting was convened, and for inch objects—it is easy San any non, tettb half an eye, to ser who brought forward this proceeding. Look, 'aid he, to the right, and then to the left—louk to the goad things of life which the one side enjoys awl which IS denied to the other—!ook at the crowd who gurronnol sue, the struggles they are obliged to make for a daily sustenance, and to the other, most of them enjoying 'shiers and pension., or ;0011 living., or He; sz in ex pectation of better than they nosy enjoy. When you look at this picture, (said this animated speaker) can you be surprised at the rurious Address y o u have been called upon to sign.—(l,tpull cries of Bravo ! No Address, unless to the *Well fur ever and the liiag along nith ber ) The Cu tx observed that it world be itupos.i• isle to introduce the name of her 3lajestv, because, in his opinion, the Queen was not acsinitted--(Loud hut sleep groans followed this statement.) J.tmits• 31`Cst.scars, a Freeman of the Corporation, There is no mass here, 31 r. Chairman, more ins pressed with the propriety of declaring Isis allegiance to his Majesty than I am. In the sincerity of that feeling I will yield t:i tso man here, and I believe I may with as much coulidence say the cause for the en tire of my fellow-citizens, whom I am glad to see this slay in suds numbers arouts.l ssie.—(l.olsd shouts of hear Ision.)—ltnt, Sir, I be leave to observe, that the best mo le of manifesting the sincerity of our alle giance on the isr..setst occasion is by showing to his 3lajesty and to the pe..ple the sincerity of the opi nions we arc delivering, and if ste act honestly, either by the King or our country, will any 111.19 here put Isis halld to an address, which charges the Press of Irefand with being and i aaaaa soral—chat the said press lea.l rilf."1111; d the public morals, and that it had actually brought Ireland into a •it.tte s, rebel any here have the boldness to sign a paper which contains saris unfounded assertions, such libels on the Irish nation? .1s for my part, Mr. 3lavor, I do not think it becoming of us even tons to speak of our sister country, groaning as it is under a weight of distress unparalleled even in England.--(fl e will sign no such .‘tldress, it would be false, a number of voices reclaimed.) lint, continued the Speaker, it is not to this point alone of the Address proposed by Mr. Iturleigh that I object. There is another, and a more inipnrtant point, I mean that part whirls speaks of his Illajesty's tioyersimeut---give use leave to ask what is meant by the word goerroonatt.' Does not this mean his 31ajesty's 31inisters; and will soy 1.1- lose-citizens agree to an address, which contains their, good opinion of his Majesty's 3lissisters?---(No, no, no, was the universal cry.) The CHAIRMAN here rose and observed that he was always happy to hear the opinions of the Freemen of Carrickfergus, that to 3lr. holiness opiniva he was inclined to pay every respect ; but he looped lee could satisfy Mr. lioluses and the meeting at large, that the words of the address could hear no such con struction as Mr. Holmes put on them. The Chair man should be curry, if it were supposed that it was contemplated by the writers of the address to cis irge ' the Irish Press with the dissemination of immoral and blasphemous doctrines. No such clsarge can be frith truth brought the Press of I relassal, this is a distinction ss hich entirely belongs to the Press of England, it is .with great satisfaction I say, (said 31 r.

Some 4 PARISH OF LAMBETH. --so A Pnblie Meeting of the Inhabitants of this P.srish was held yesterday, in the spacious Assembly It , at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose, the Requisition to the Churchwardens stated, of pn seining an Address to her Majesty, cutograeulating h. e on the failure of the late Conspiracy against her ; ar, I an Address to the King, praying him to dismiss fro a his counsels the Ministers who instituted arts' sup ported the late proceedings against the Queen, so de rogatory to the honour of the Crown, and so injue.sr..ts to the interests of the country. Mr. Nont.r, the Senior • Churchwarden, hat . ..tg taken the Chair. Mr. St.sni: came forward to open the business of the meeting. Ile held in his hand, he said, a number of resolutions, which would now be read, in turd...- that every gentleman present might have an opporti nity of considering their full scope and weaning, so as to enable him to form a judgment of the propriety of the proposed Addresses. Their object - Was to cot:rt publicity, and invite discussion. lie world not c:- copy the time of the meeting, as the topics emnbraogi in the resolutions would, he doubted not, be ittne.r and ably discussed by the Honourable Gentleman w ► would propose to them the first resointion.—After the resolutions and addresses had been read, Mr. W. Int.t.tams came forward, amidst the zp platise of the Meeting, He had been requested he said, by the Gentlemen who had signed the Requi sition for calling the present Meeting, to propose the first of the series of Resolutions which haul been just read to them. lie wished, however, before making tit.• few observations which he was about to address to them in his own name, and in that of those Gentlemen, to thank the Chairman and his re .peetahle colleagues for their conduct, in enabling the inhabitants of this parish to discus!, fairly and openly, souse of the most importditt questions which could interest the country at the present tio"tnent, an I to carry to the foot of the Throne their firm alai decided convict' that his Majesty's Ministers were incapable of conducting the affair, of the nation. Antong the haul feature , of the titers, there were no::e more stsiking than the attempts which were made t p stifle the expression of public opinion. Every I'l%l - was resorted to, either to prevent public meet ings, or to counteract Om effect of public opinion ex pressed at those meetings. Small bodies of men were meeting in a clandestine manner, in all parts of the country, with a view of deceiving the Sovereign ms the slate of public opinion, and putting forth sentiments of the interested few as the sentiments ut the great body of the people. %V hatever opinioas those persons might entertain of the st•ute of affairs, the very fact, of their meeting clanclestineli. betrayed a consciousness that the 5111.4 ares of his 1 jesty's Ministers were nut founded upon pithlie ciple; for, if they were really convinced that those measures were rumpled upon public principle, they would court discussion instead of declining it, and boldly appeal to popular feeling and popular senti ments, instead of retreating into corners to avoid them. Its stigmatising the conduct of persons who gust up clandestine Addresses, he trusted that hut si Id not have to include any parishioners of Lao,- heti' in this censure. If there were any gentletnan who haul met in a corner of their parish, he hoped they were present at thin meeting, and that they wool favour them with their sentitnents. With respect to one of the objects for whi :It this meeting was called, the dismissal of his illajr4ty's 31inisters, though he concurred in time prayer of the Address, lie was at time same time free ut confess, that if the present systent were to be continued, he would as soon gee Lord Liver pool as aay other loan, at the head of .Administratioo. Ile was no pa ry wan ; in his opinion, attachment to party was a saerifire of public principle to priv advantage; and unless every loan acted n?on public principle, little good ....Wit result from the united efforts of a party. 'I lie treatment which her Nlajestv 'sad received from his Majesty's Ministers had, indeed, justly excited the indignation 'if the people. lie had MI desire to inflame the passions of his eon ntrynirst ; it was his wish rather to allay awl tranquillize the irritated state of public feeling, but it was impossible to lose sight of the , conduct of Ministers, nut only in kcepin_; her Majesty in ignorance of the WO4 station to which ,he hai acceded by the death of the late King. but Under the Patronage of his Majesty the Kieft of France.
