HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND. intoll. TUB ADYSITISII.I The rumour which has lately been circulated, en 'mounting that his Majesty wig not visit us, is a mere invention. A friend, who is in comentruica tiet with a personage in a high official situation at the Court, enebles us to state the reverse. That his Majesty Lao bees long sentient to see this country, tits tree.--that he is also solicitous Ito be- come revs sully ecquidated with his Irish sub jects, • is a further • proof of his sincere attach ment:to Ireland, male animating reflection foal!. The advantages likely to result frees the royal visit are ioculcalsble ; he comes unlike other Monarchs that have trod on our green fields—bearing love in his bosom, sod conferring happiness iu his progress. Let us for one instant trace back the , page of his tory. In 1174 King Henry 11. landed at Water ford, his evident object being to conquer—not by the sword, it is true : be bore a talisman more powerful, before which courage withered, end pa triotism fell. He stayed here sit& month*. King John touched our shores, at ‘Vaterford, also, in 1210. His visit was prompted by a resolution to punish our hardy ancestors. for daring to retaliate on their in vaders, and revenge the outrages then frequently offered to those without the pale. Edward Bruce landed its the north in 1315, and was crowned King at Dundalk. Robert, Kiug of Scotland, came to Ireland the following year. Richard abe Second, that unhappy victim to treachery and misrule, arrived at Waterford in 139 i James 11. lauded at Kinsale, from Brest, in 1689, and met here the grave of his hopes and his ambi tion. King William landed in 1690, in the pride, pomp, mid circumstance of war; but George IV. will snit* in June, 1841, more in the quality of a welcome guest. than as the ruler of the land—rather to be cheered by the affectionate shouts of a truly loyal people, than to be gazed at with awe, as a Supreme Chief—yes. s Sovereign, whose real cha racter is unfolding itself to his people. will come to dissipitate prejudice, to he known for what he is— the protector of Irishmen—the amiable philanthropic King, who would heel the long bleeding wounds of has subjects, who would banish for ever from amongst us all heart-burninge, sill mortifying die. tineliusis between Catholic and Protestant—who would reign tar the hearts of leis people, and live ouly to be beloved by all. Such a King, and what is doubtless,' prouder rr flectiou to him.elf, such a emu, comes hither to receive the well-known hoopi telety of deer and affectionate children—to justify his favourable opinions of Irishmen, and to con firm these opinions for ever in his (mind. IVe ure convinced his Majesty will return to England deeply imptissed with those flattering ideas of us. with which strangers have ever .departed, on receiving the last fend adieus of hospitality and kindness.

Some of the Jurymen wished that the treatisesl of con ♦icts should be made known, fur the satisfaction of the pub lic, as some reports bad gone abroad that they were not dealt with as humanely as they ought to be, even as criminals. The witness had no objection, but expressed the greatest willingness to answer any questions touching the regulations of the prison; he then stated as follows: The deceased bad every kind of nourishment, meat, fish, puddings, pies, pigeons, porter, he. 1 have full power to order for any sick prisoners whate►er 1 consider necessary fur them, without limitation. 1 have given some prisoners who have been so, affected nearly one bottle of wine a day.

They all have a separate bedroom, with three bilaakets, • pair of clean sheets every fire weeks, and a covering, besides a horsehair and straw mattress. The Jury expressed themselves perfectly satisfied, and returned a verdict of—" Ne/1111111 Desik." There has been a good deal of speculation in the securities granted by the Independent Government of New Colombia, some time since, for the pay ment of ce►ttuu claims iipois it, and which have sit. vaiired very materially, under the impression that the armistice agreed upon by both contending par ties will lead to the acknowledgment, by Spain, of the independence of South America.

The life of Mr. Pitt, by the Bishop of Winches. ter, just published, contains the following account -raf that Statesman's first speech in Perbausent, and of the manner in which he cattnrated his islent fur debate ; which will probably prove interesting to our readers. The extract may also serve to re mind those who still pretend to make this deceased Minister their model (but who are extremely partial in their imitation of him), that his first parliament+ ary effort bad for its object economical reform, and also the diminution of the influence of the Crown :1-* " O• the tub of February (Mil) • circumstance of rt very remarkable stature occasioned Mr. Pitt to make Ms first speech in the House of Commas'. The subject of do. bate was, Mr. Berke's Bill for ecosessical reform in tee Civil List. Lord Nutted was speaking agairst the Rill, sad Mr. Byeg, Member for Middlesex, keewing Mr. Pitt's sissii, meats epee the missere, asked him to reply to his Mr. Pitt gave • doubtful answer; but in the course l t Lord Negeitt's "Neel be determined sot to reply to him, Mr. Byag, however, understood that Mr. Pitt intended to speak after Lord Nugent; and the moment his Lordship sal down, Mr. Dm and several of his friends, to whom he had causimeeicated Mr. Pitt's supposed initiation, called out, iu the manner usual in the House of Commons, Mr. Pitt's same as being about to speak. This probably prevented any other person from rising; and Mr. Pitt, finding himself thus called upon, and observing that the House waited to hear him, thought it necessary to rise. Thosgh really not in tending to speak, he was frees the begiesieg collected and unembarrassed; be argued strongly in favour of the Bill, and policed all the objections which had been urged by the Noble Lord who immediately preceded him is the debate, in • m which greatly astot,islied all who beard his. Never were higher expectations formed of any person upon his first coming into Parliament, and ncies more completely answered; they were indeed meek mere than answered. Such were the fluency and accuracy of Is•gusge, such the perspicuity of arrangement, and inch the closeness of reasoning, and manly and dignified does tion—ruerally, eves in a much less degree, the fruits of long habit and careen-ere—that it could scarcely be believ ed to be the first speech of • young man not yet 21:. " He the following day Mr. Pitt, knowing my anxiety upon every subject which related to him, with his accus tomed kindness, wrote to me ■t Cambridge, to iuform sae that' be had heard his own voice in the House of Commons:' and modestly expressed his satisfaction at the m littler in which his first attempt at pailianientary speaking had bete received. Before Mr. Pitt had a seat in Pat tianient, be bad been a ooestant attendant in the gallery of the House of Commons, awl near the Throne in the House of Lords, upon every important debate; and whenever be beard a speech of any merit on the side opposite to his own npi nious, he accustomed himself to consider, as it proceeded, iu what manner it might be answered; and when the speaker accorded with his own sentiments, he then observed his mode of arranging and enforcing his ideas, and consider ed whether any improvement could have been made, or whe ther any argument had beets omitted. To this habit, and to the practice already mennoreel, of rendering Greek and Latin into English, juiutd to his natural wonderful endownieutr, may be attributed that talent fur reply, and that command of language, for which he was from the first au highly die. liuguished. Al whatever length he spoke, he avoided repe titiun ; and it was early and justly oh d of him, that he raver failed to put the best word In the best place'."

It is distinctly remembered by the parent, when the child was shout two months old, that u needle fell from the breast of its mother, and it was always thought that it went into the mouth of the child ; it is now certain that such had been the caw, as the Doetur declared, that the nee. dle had actually gone through the child's body.

Much confusion, for instance, has been occasioned by the loose way in which the word Greek is used. Sometimes by • Greek is intent a person speaking the Greek language, and at other times • person belts:Ong to the Greek Church. Itassat., a German statistical writer in great estimation, makes Turkey in Europe, on the best and most recent authorities, to contain a popu lation of nine millions four hundred and eighty-too thousand. Of this population the Turks du not amount to one-third part, and the Greeks alone amount to about five millions. But then the popu lation professing the Greek religion amounts to a much greater number than five million,. For in stance, the Bulgarians, about 1,800.000, a Sclavosiie people, are partly of the Greek and partly of the Mahomedan religion. The Servisnr, about 960,000. another Sclavooic people, are all of the Greek reli gion. The Manning. about 850,000, are also of the Greek religion. The Albanians speak Sclavosiic and the old Illyrian language, and are partly of the Greek, and partly of the Mahomedan religion. The Wallachians and Moldavian., 1,430,000, according to HASSEL, but shout a million and a half in num ber, according to Mr. Vi't Lamson's account, are only Greeks by religion. Though the Turks form so small a part of the population in Europe. tJsey are very numerous in Asia, where their chief strength has always lain. From Africa, however, they are not likely to derive any assistance at the present moment. A few evenings since a respectably-dressed wo. man went into a ladies' boot and shoemaker's shop in the Strand, and fitted on two pair of boot., and requested that the shop-boy might accompany her to her lodging with them, when the would pay for them. This wag accordingly complied with, and leading the boy through several courts, she told him thst she would pay for them herself, as it would save him the triuble of going blither with her : she gave him seven half-crowns, the price of the booty, and the boy then delivered them to her ; but suspecting from her manlier that all was not right, he followed her sod observed her go into a house in • court leading from the Strand ; he then returned home, and it was then discovered that the half-crowns which he bad re ceived from the woman iii payment for the boots were all bad. A coostable war immediately pro cured, and he went wi►h the boy who pointed out the house into which he had seen the woman enter, but on inquiry no tidings could be gained of her. It is probable that the observed the boy following her, and went into the house on &cline pretence for the purpose of eluding him.

The facts of the ease were, that Mr. Gibson's foreman gave to Neal s stades' quantity of silk to make VP& yards of Meese, sanwet. at 100 lines to an inch, sad when Neal brought home tit brat part of it • the foreman, us mountain it, fused it was not sufficiently stout, and told him be had sot put In the 100 lines tes an inch as Ike law rewasisod, and desired that be would make the remainder much Router; bet he did sot tell him to make it Jiff or 120 Hese to an Web, which he would be able to prove by the foreman. When the wait ' was completed and delivered. Neal produced a bill charg ing 2d. a yard extra on the whole ltt yards, although "as the information it was only charged for 63 yards, If. convic tion was to take place on skis information, it would go to authorise the journeymen w to spoil the first part of the work given to them by their masters, and to put a greater complement of lines in the latter part, for the pur pose of coming for penalties against their masters. It was not a case that was contemplated by the Act of Parliament, for the question here was, whether Neale bad or had ant ' earned the If. Os. 4d. extra ? which could be decided by the Court of Requests. From a statement which he held in his hand, he could chew that the weavers io she employ of Mr. Gibson earned 51. Id. per day. Under those circumstances he bad no doubt but the worthy Aldermen woalJ be of opi nion that the information ought to be dismissed with costs. Richard Neale war again examined by Mr. Aldernia e Smith, and said, that Mr. Gibson's foreman tuld him, whets he brought home the first part of the marmot, that he must at least put 40 lines mole io an inch to the remainder. John Gilbert, foreman to Mr. Gluon, stated, that be gave coot the silk to Neale, to make 122 rods of ssisnel, at 100 line, to as Such. He brought home 57 yards; told him it wee too slight, sod that he must pus more !Mei to the inch to the remainder; told bin, is was ont manefacturid according to the Act of Partialness,. He examined is, and fouud it had only from 93 to 96 lines in an inch. Neale bruuslA home the other part, and demanded If. Os 4d. for calls lines, which be did nut pay bins, as be considereJ it au demand. On his eroas-examination by Mr. Alley, he said the simnel had been sold since Neale threatened to lay the pre• sent i tifoi motion. Mr. Alderman Smith cheerier!, that the selling of the s lk ought not to have taken place; it was very blameable cusidnet. I 1 I. I Mr. Alley replied. The worthy Aldermen were of opinion, that it was net a case which called fur couvictios. They considered they were not so completely bound by the Act of Parliament, an as to exclude them from looking at sbe whole ciecuminance • of the cane; and haviug given it their fullest consideration, i , they were of opinion, 'bat if Neale had weaved the first part of the sarsuet accurdiag to the directious given to him, of 100 lines to su inch, there would nut have been the extra lines in the latter pa l l; fur which reason they hail i come to the decision, that the iliformativa should be dis missed, but without costs. 1101,-ITIIMET.
