Barley. i THE SUN, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last evening Donizetti's chef dwuvre, Don Pas quale, was performed with the same cast as on its first performance this season, save that F. Lablache appeared as Dr. Malatesta in the room of Beletti, who bad been taken suddenly ill. An apology was made, and indulgence asked for F. Lablache, on the score of the very short notice at which he had un dertaken the part ; but certainly the indulgence was not needed, for never have we heard the music better sung, or seen the part better performed than it was last evening by F. Lablache, who is one of the most accomplished musicians and one of the best barritones on the stage. The only fault of F. Lablache is his excessive modesty, which prevents him from putting himself forward—a fault with which few of his contemporaries can be charged. His Dr. Malatesta last evening was admirable. Lablache, as the Don, was more full of rollicking, rich, unctions humour than ever, and Alboni's Nerissa s - as a most espiegle piece of acting. She seemed thoroughly to enjoy the fun of the part. She was in excellent voice, and sang the music deliciously. She gave as the finale Balfe's finale to the Maid of Artois—" With rapture dwelling." Her performance of this delightful air was perfect, her fine rich tones told most effectively, and she was rapturously encored. Calzolari, who was the Ernesti, was also honoured with an encore in his serenade, and the fine quartette in the second act, which was magnifi cently rendered by Alboni, Calzolari, and the La blache's pore et fils, was also encored. We have never heard this magnificent quartette more perfectly given. The performers were all called on at the end of the second act and again at the conclusion of the opera. That most delightful and original of ballets Les Plaisirs d Hiver, which seems to increase in attraction every night of its performance, concluded the evening's amusement. Carolina Rosati danced her two pas with exquisite grace and neatness, and M. Charles, the skaitei', was most quaint and amusing. The Quadrille des Pateneurs went off with great spirit. The greater por tion of the audience remained until the conclusion of the ballet, a proof of its great attractions. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES.-THURSDAY. The Licensed Victualler.'

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's airival of Englibh Wheat for our market, coastwise, has been confined to 1,830 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, the receipts have been very small. The show of samples of both red and white here this morning, was limited ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was excessively heavy, at barely Monday's reduction in the quotations. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 7,550 quarters, mostly from the Black Sea. In this article, very few sales took place, and the inferior qualities were is. per quarter lower to purchase. In cargoes afloat, nothing doing. Grinding barley ruled very dull, at drooping currencies. Malting and distilling sorts commanded very litile attention. Although the show of Malt was not large, the sale for that article was somewhat heavy, on somewhat lower terms. Notwithstanding that the supply of Foreign Oats was good, the oat trade was steady, and prices were well supported. Beans were dull, and is per quarter lower than last week. New Grey Peas went off slowly, at is to as per quarter less money. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, were offering freely, at Monday's decline. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Oats. Malt. Flour. Qrs. Qrs.

The numbers of Sheep were seasonably large, and of fair average quality. Most breeds moved off steadily, at fully last week's prices—the primest old Downs pro ducing 4s per 81bs. There was a slight improvement in the sale for Lambs—the supply of which was good—at full rates of currency—the top figure being 5s per 81bs. Prime small Calves moved off freely, at full prices. In other kinds of Veal, next to nothing was doing. The sale for Pigs ruled heavy, at our quotations. Mulch Cows were quoted at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small Calf. s. d. to s. d.

In the middling and inferior kinds very little is doing, at barely late rates. Old Hops are almost nominal.

The usual half•yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of the above line was held this morning at the Great Ncrtbern-offices in Moorgate-street. Mr. George Hussey Packe, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the Act of Incorporation of the company requires ordinary meetings of the shareholders to be held twice a year, in the months of February and August ; but the lease of the line to the Great Northern Railway Com pany having taken out of the hands of the directors all share in the management of the working of the railway, the business to be done at these half yearly meetings must necessarily be of the most formal character. The directors conga atulate the shareholders in their having received last month the first full half-year's dividend of the rent; and have further the pleasure of reporting that the whole of the works on the line continue in the most satisfactory state. The capital of the company has been fully paid up, and in the annexed statement of accounts, the proprietors will find the various items of expen diture in the construction of the line. The balance sheet represented the total receipts up to the present time to amount to 643,3861. Bs. 91, while the expenditure amounted to 646,0451. 16s. 7d., leaving a balance of 2,6591. 7s. 10d. due to the bankers. The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to answer any questions if the proprietors present required any information on the subject of the line. lie might add that within the last ten days he had been over the line, and found it in a most efficient state, while he was glad to inform the shareholders that the re ceipts were gradually increasing. The report was then adopted, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman and directors, the meet ing terminated. We cannot refrain from calling the attention of the public to the treat which awaits them at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday next ; we can fully assert, that so much excellence, at such a charge was never before presented to them. EGYPT.—SMYENA, JULY 23.—Intelligence has been received here from Alexandria, that a fearful fire which took place there will occasion the State a loss of forty millions of piastres. Abbees Pacha is still at Cairo, whither his mother lattly returned from Constantinople. The sons of Mahomed Ali, who is perhaps already dead, since he was dangerously ill when the post quitted, are, together with the sons of Ibrahim Pacha, now at Cairo; they are the best hostages for Abbees Pacha. Sir John Jervis, her Majesty's Attorney-General, accompanied by his son, embarked at Blackwall yester day morni n g on board the General St eam N av i ga tion Company'ssteam-ship Soho, for Antwerp.

PUBLIC MEETING IN DERBY. (From the Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.) The requisition to the Mayor is, it will be seen, both numerously and respectably signed, and by men of all parties. The meeting will take place in the Town Hall, at seven o'clock in the evening of Mon day next, the Mayor in the chair. We are happy to say that our esteemed representative Mr. Bass has' signified his intention of abandoning the arrange ments he had previously made for reaching the Highlands on Saturday next, in order to unite with his constituents in an expression of sympathy with the Hungarians. We rejoice to add, that Mr. T, Gisborne has also signified his intention to be present at the meeting, provided particular business, which will not brook delay, may not call him off in another direction. Mr. Hey worth has set f or th hi s reasons for not attending the meeting in a letter whi c h w ill probabiy be published. Invitations have also been sent to Mr. Strutt and Mr. W. Evans. The meeting will be an overflowing one. Meanwhile public meetings are being held over the whole kingdom. The Lord Provo s t p res id e d a t an enthusiastic meeting at Edinburgh the other day; at Leicester there has been an enthusiastic meeting (pre sided over by the Mayor); and not a day passes that we do not read of one or more meetings taking place This is as it should be. _ _ " While Paskiewitch and the Ban are outgeneralled by the Hungarian commanders (says the Examiner, in an article which has been already quoted in extenso in The Sun), public opinion in this country is every day pronouncing itself in a more decided manner, and with more substantial effect. We have the best authority for stating that the Austrian Camarilla is seriously alarmed at the state of feeling in England, and at the tone of the independent English press : and this was before the account of the debate in the House of Commons on the 20th of July, and of the meeting at the London Tavern, had reached Vienna. The knowledge of the fact should stimulate the friends of the Hunga rians in this country to fresh exertions on their behalf. The example of public meetings, which has been so auspiciously given at the London Tavern and followed by Marylebone, is being imitated all over the country. Nor should these meetings be confined to vague and general ex pressions of sympathy : they should tend to a prac tical purpose—the recognition by English statesmen of the de facto Government of Hungary. . "It was well shown (proceeds the Examiner) at the Marylebone meeting that every step which Russia makes westward has the effect of closing to British industry a previously-existing market, or of prevent ing a fresh one from being opened ; that, consequently, so much bread is taken out of the mouth of the British artisan, or prevented from being put into it. That Austria as at present constituted is not a barrier against the territorial aggrandisement of Russia is evident. As Colonel Thompson very pertinently observed, the guardian (I) of European civilization has opened the door and let the robber in. That the success of the Hungarians would at once open to us a market hardly inferior to that of Russia, and capable of indefinite extension, we have already indicated. . . . "That every Liberal should warmly sympathise with the Hungarians is but natural. No nation has given such an example of a privileged class having voluntarily renounced its exclusive privileges, and having raised the unprivileged to a perfect equality with itself for the benefit of their common country. No nation has been a more consistent advocate of civil, religious, and commercial freedom. But, above all, the sympathies of the moderate and far-sighted Conservative ought to be enlisted on their behalf. The Hungarians are pre-eminently, above all other conti nental nations, the sticklers for precedent and for the letter of the law. Indeed, the reproach that has been urged against them with the greatest semblance of justice, is that they are not revolutionary enough for the present age. . . . " The ameliorations effected in the Hungarian Con stitution by the National party were not brought about by revolutionary measures ; they were not the result of an emeute, however justifiable an emeute may be in some cases ; but they were carried out by legal means upon the broadly-trodden and clearly defined path of Parliamentary reform. Nor were these ameliorations effected in consequence of a sudden impulse inspired by the events in France. The February revolutio n in Paris undoubtedly strengthened the hands of the Hungarians by the terror which it caused to- Metternich and his satel lites. But the measures of reform themselves were nothing more than the legitimate development of the spirit of the Hungarian Constitution, carried out by means in strict accordance with measures which had been urged on the Government by the Na tional party since 1832, and of which Mr. Paget thus speaks : " The favourite objects of their desires were,—after strengthening the nationality of Hungary,—freedom of commerce, and an improved commercial code ; the navi gation of the Danube, and the improvement of internal communication; increased freedom and education of the peasantry; the repeal of laws preventing the free pur chase and sale of larded property ; perfect equality of all religions, and the freedom of the press. For the greater part of these objects they are still struggling:— Paget's Hungary and Transylvania, vol. i. p. 162." " This was written ten years ago. Much had been effected, spite of Government intrigues, subsequently to that period, and previously to the Diet of 1641'-8. In that Diet many of the most important internal reforms -bad passed not merely the Lower but the Upper House, before February, 1848. These re forms, together with others conceiv e d i n the same spirit, obtained the sanction of the then legitimate Monarch of the country. Nor was the nature of these reforms more truly Conservative than the man ner in which they were effected. Wh ere ves t e d interests were found to be incompatible with the welfare of the State, the holders of such vested interests were indemnified for their surrender; and the electoral qualification of property and intelligence, which was substituted for that of birth, preserved a just mean between too wide and too narrow a suffrage. An income of 101. in towns, a property equ i va l en t t o 301. in the country, is very different from what such a qualification would be here—when we consider that in Hungary meat is lid. per pound, and wheat 15s. a quarter. " In Hungary we do not find one faction struggling against another, democracy against aristocracy, po verty against wealth. The who le nati on h as r i sen as one man in defence ofits constitution against revolu tionary despotism, in defence , of its i n d epen d ence against foreign invasion. The newly.enfr a nchised peasantry are not less ardent in the national cause than those who, before the reforms, were exclusively in possession of the full rights of citizenship. The really independent and unembarrassed m agna t es , th e peers of Hungary, are found aiding the same cause with their arm, their purse, or their counsel. One Bathyany is expiating his attachment to his country in the dungeons of Laibach ; an o th er takes the department of Foreign Affairs in Kos a regiment of suth's Ministry. A Karolyi raises hussars at his own expense; and a Teleki, of th e . noblest and wealthiest house Transylvania, is ac tively employed in the diplomatic service of his country. But, above all, the country gentlemen of ancient lineage are found where they ought to be found in such a crisis. We observe that Marzibanyi, the wealthiest untitled noble of Hungary, has just ,been sentenced by Haynau to a fine of '2,000/. for his patriotism. It is from this class, indeed, that the men who so ably fill the various p os t s i n th e present Government are principally taken—men well WEDNESDAY.

TUESDAY, JULY 3l.—Pavvailed upon by my Wife to carry her to Bath, as she said, to go see her Aunt Dorothy, but I know she looked more to the Pleasure of her Trip than any Thing else; nevertheless I do think it necessary Policy t o keep in with her Aunt, who is an old Maid and Ira th a pretty Fortune; and to see what Court and Atite ntion I pay her, though Ido not care 2d. about 'her ! But am mightily troubled to know whether she has sunk her Money in an Annuity, which makes me somewhat uneasy at the Charge of our Journey, for what with Fare, Cab Hire, and Vails to Dorothy's Servants for their good Word, it did cost me altoge ,her, Cl. 2s. 63. To the Great Western Station in a Cab, by Reason of our Luggage; for my Wife must needs t a.ke se many Trunks and Bandboxes, as is always the Way with women : or else we might have gone there for 23. 6d. less in an Omnibus. Did take our places in the First Class, notwithstanding the Expense, preferring both the seats and the company ; and also because if any Necks or limbs are broken I note it is generally in the Second and Third Classes. So we settled, and the Carriage Doors slamnie d to, and the Bell rung, the Train with a Whistle cuff like a shot, and in the Carriage with me and my Wife a mighty pretty Lady, a Frenchwoman, and I did begin to talk French with her, which Illy Wife do not well under stand, and by and by did find the Air too much for her where she was sitting, and would come and take her seat between us, I know, on Purpose. So ell a reading the Time*, till one got in at Hanwell, who seemed to be a Physician, and mighty pretty Discourse with him touching the Manner of treating Madmen and Lunatics, which is now by gentle Ma nagement, and is a great Improvement on the old Plan of Chains and the Whip. Also of the Foulness of London for Want of fit Drainage, and how it do breed Chol ?.ra and Typhus, as sure as rotten Cheese do ,Nlites, and of the horrid Folly of making a gr, ;at Gutter of the River. So to Swindon Station, where the Train do stop ten Minutes for Refreshment, and there my Wife hungry and I too with a good Appetite, notwithstanding the Discourse about London Filth. So we out, and to the Refreshment-room , Nitk a Crowd of Passengers, all pushing and jostling, and trampling on each others' Toes, striving which should get served first. With much Ado got a Basin of Soup for my Wife, and for myself a. Veal and Ham Pie, and to see me looking at my Watch and taking a Mouthful by Turns ; and how I did gulp a glass of Guinness hi s Stout ! Before we had h a lf finisbed, the Guard rang the Bell, and my Wife, NsSv'altshoabligteadrtS, t d o id spill leave Soup Half o over her of it, it,andto D th r i e n s and think how ridiculous I looked, scampering back to the Train with my Meat Pi e in Mostth To run hurry scurry at the Sound of a Bell do seem only fit for a Gang of Work Workmen; and the B us tl ia o f Ra i lways do d estroy a ll the Dignity of Travelling ; but the World altogether is less grand, and do go faster, than formerly. Off again, and to the End of our Journey, troubled at the Soup on my Wife's Dress, but thankful I had got my Change, and not left it behind me at the Swindon Station.—Punch. acquainted with the routine of administration, uho are qualified for the stations they hold at present by the experience of years as magistrates hi their respective counties, and as members of the National Diet. " If the Hungarians and the Hungarian constitu tion be crushed, what defenders of legality and rational civil self-government will be left in Central and Eastern Europe ? The tendencies of the mili tary despotism which is at present predominant, are no less levelling than those of the most unbridled ochlocracy ; no less opposed to all free action of individuals or of corporations. But how long can this military despotism last ? It can only be sup ported by numerous armies of soldiers, and hardly less numerous armies of paid civil functionaries. In proportion as the number of unproductive con sumers increases, so do not merely the numbers but the energies of the producers diminish; as the bur dens become heavier, the capacity of bearing them becomes less. This state of things leads to a na tional bankruptcy (a consummation from which Austria is not far distant for the third time within the last forty years); to the most frightful social convulsions; to a war of proletaires against those who still possess property.; and to a scene of uni versal disorder, of which no man can tell the end. The people of most continental countries have lost the habits and traditions of self-government, together with their chartered liberties ; the Hungarians have maintained these habits and their prescriptive rights through good and evil times. In their defence they have poured out their blood like water, not merely now, but in bygone ages. One Hungarian genera tion has handed down to another the torch of consti tutional liberty, for the benefit not merely of them selves, but of the world. Such a nation the real Conservative must wish to see, not simply saved from annihilation, but taking a prominent part in the affairs of the Continent ; as a model of rational go vernment and a guarantee for the maintenance of order and security to the east of Europe."

The weather is not exactly such as offers an assur ance of a fine day. Light rain lias been falling this morning, but it is not unlikely that it may be fair. At ten o'clock her Majesty will in all probability be at the review in the Phoenix Park, towards which agreeable locality flocks of pedestrians from all parts of Dublin are now wending their way. There is no getting an outside car for love—no one ever got an Irish car for that—and certainly more than double the usual fares will tempt the drivers to confess they are not " engaged." This is the way the Dublin carmen manage to drive their act of parliament. The moment you come up to their notion of the value of a car on an occasion of this kind, your former "engage ments" are cancelled, with well-affected signs of compunction—with a " Lord forgive us." TIIE CORPORATION ADDRESS. The following are copies of the corporation address presented to her Majesty at the levee yesterday, with the reply : " TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " THE HUMBLE AND DUTIFUL ADDRESS OF THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES (F DUBLIN. " May it please your Majesty,—We the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of your ancient and loyal city of Dublin approach your Majesty with feelings of un mingled joy and gratification at your Majesty's arrival in this the second city of your Majesty's vast empire. "Afflicted by Providence with a heavy visitation, we entertain the hope that our day of trial is passing away, and that the auspicious visit of your Majesty may be the harbinger of happiness and prosperity to Ireland, and ! that a people faithful to .a proverb, and conversant with your Majesty's kind feelings towards them, may long have an opportunity of admiring those exalted virtues, which alike shed lustre on your throne and adorn your private circle. " It is a further source of gratification to us, that your Majesty is on this occasion accompanied by your family, and we feel assured that your Majesty will endue the minds of the Princo of Wales and your Royal children with those sentiments of affection and .regard towards this country which your Majesty has always entertained. " That your Majesty may often repeat your visit; that your domestic circle—joyful and happy as it is—may long continue so, will be our anxious prayer; and, feel assured, whether visited by disease and afflicted by famine, or living in the prospect of a more happy future, the Irish people (of a portion of whom we are the re presentative.) will alike ever cherish feelings of un bounded love, of ardent loyalty, and enthusiastic affec tion towards your Majesty's most sacred person and throne." HER MA,ESTY ' S REPLY. "It affords me sincere pleasure to receive your ad dress in my ancient and loyal city of Dublin, and I gladly avail myself of this occasion to express my grateful acknowledgments for the at dent affection and loyalty with which my arrival here has been hailed. "It is a great gratification to me to have been accom panied by my children, as the scenes they have wit nessed within the last few days cannot fail to impress them with sentiments of regard and attachment to the generous and warm-hearted people by whom they have been surrounded. " I gladly share with you the hope, that the heavy calamity with which Providence has recently visited large numbers of my people in this country is pasing away. I have felt deeply for their sufferings, and it will be a source of heartfelt satisfaction to me if lam per mitted to witness the future and lasting prosperity of this portion of the United Kingdom." THE CORPORATION ADDRESS TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS ALBERT, PRINCE CONSORT. " We, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Dublin, beg permission to offer to your Royal Highness our sincere congratulations on the present auspicious oc casion of your arrival in Ireland. " We have already tendered to your Royal Highness our assurance of the deep interest we have ever taken in your Royal Highness's happiness and welfare. " Always an object of deferential regard, as the con sort of our most Gracious Sovereign, we have observed with feelings of pleasure the marked progress which your Royal Highness has made in the confidence and affection of all chines of her Majesty's subjects. " Wisely abstaining from all courses which would sub ject your Royal Highness's actions to cavil or misrepre sentation, you have at all times been the ready and judi cious patron and promoter of every art, science, and un dertaking tending to advance the prosperity, elevate the character, and enlarge the happiness of every class of the people. " In conclusion, and in the name of a warm-hearted and loyal people, we humbly implore the Great Giver of all good that He may endow with every blessing her most Graeious Majesty, your Royal Highness, and the youthful members of the Royal Family, and to grant that the glorious event of her Majesty's visit may be the pre cursor of happier days and brighter prospects for our native land." CITY ILLUMINATIONS. The gas illuminations at the College and several public institutions and private establishments were con tinued last evening. The night was very mild and fine, and the streets had the usual throng of spectators, all partaking of the general joy so universally diffused amongst all classes by the presence of Majesty. REJOICINGS AT KINGSTOWN. The fireworks at Kingstown harbour last evening at tracted groups of fashionables, and the Royal St. George Yacht Club accommodated a great many of the elite of the neighbourhood to witness the joyous display in ho• nour of her Majesty's visit. At half-past nine o'clock the harbour was lit up with the brilliant blue and crimson lights reflected on the water from the principal yachts in the harbour, and from the lower esplanade of the Club House, and also from the Commissioners' Yard, rockets and the several varieties of artificial light were freely supplied; and although the atmosphere was so heavy as to check the extreme upward progress of the fireworks, the whole passed oil with eclat. DEPARTURE OF TUE QUEEN FOR BELFAST. After visiting Duke Leinster at Carton to-morrow, the Queen and Prince Albert will embark at Kings town, at five r.m., for Belfast. COU PAR-AN GUS. We understand that a document', bas been received by the officials of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway Company from Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, announcing the fact of the intention of her Majesty landing at the terminus here ; and making inquiry as to the extent of accommodation which could be afforded for this purpose at the station. Sir George has been in formed that ample accommodation will be afforded. Her Majesty and suite will, on their arrival, post on by way of Blairgovv rie, Bridge of Cally, Spittal of Glenshee, and thence to Balmoral. Considerable alterations are to be made immediately at the terminus here, and we doubt not but that everything will be done in a style befitting the auspicious occasion. Arrangements are entered into for the posting from the station here to Balmoral, and vice versa, of the messengers in charge of the official dispatches and correspondence of the Court, on their arrival to and from London. The arrange. ments are entered into by the parties of the posting establishments on the line of road, viz., Mr. Ross, Coupar •Angus ; Mr. M`Laren, Blairgowrie ; and Mr. Grant, Spittal of Glenshee.—Perth Advertiser.

The Duke of Cambridge visited her Royal High ness the Duchess of Gloucester on Wednesday even ing, at her residence in Richmond Park. His Royal Highness arrived in town yesterday from Kew. At four o'clock the Royal Duke, attended by Baron Knesebeck, left Cambridge House for the London bridge terminus, and travelled by the South Eastern Railway to Dover, en route to Hanover, on a visit to the King. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of the Mauritius and Port TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. The still waters lay in their loveliness sleeping, The last rose of sunset scarce rock'd into rest, The stars on their bosom like restless eyes peeping, Exchanging love-looks with yon home of the blest, The harbour watch kindled—the vesper chimes o'er, And evening's soft shadows encircling the shore. E'en the seethe of the wavelet that breaks on the sand, Like a fountain of diamonds came hushed, as it were Some watcher's lone lullaby faint from the strand, Or a vestal voice chaunting in solitude there. Not a leaf did the south wind awake in the grove, So tranquil that eve were the precincts of Cove. But see to the northward a signal light lifted, Is tossed by the night-breeze on high Trabolgan, And now from Fort Cambden and Fort Carlisle drifted, The lightning-tongued answers like magic words ran. Aroused are the sleepers—astir is the bay— What stands in the offing where dusk streamers play? 0 joy for thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle! Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom, Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile, And leave on thy wan cheek some token of bloom. 'Tis she is approaching, the loved Island Queen. Her name the bright spell-word that hallows the scene. Like a glad resurrection old Erin rejoices The noble in patience—now noble in love; Thru' her tears she is smiling, her children's hushed voices Unloosed in glad music her lorn hills above. Deep, deep, was her lament, yet deeper the cry She lifts up exulting with happiness by. The blue hills of Wicklow, the Dalkey, the Ilowth, Are startled, and take up the song in surprise, The " Cead mille failthe," that from every mouth Floats up like an incense till lost in the skies. They welcome her madly I the Royal, the good— They greet her with blessings, as Erin's sons should. In the pride of her beauty, the pomp of her state, While only her woman heart thrills to the core, The Sovereign of Ireland, " oull Ireland," elate, First plants her proud foot on the minstrel famed shore. And auspicious as once shone the rainbow above With her tread came the sunbeam—a guerdon of love! 0, joy to thee, Erin, no longer the singled, The lone one lamenting in solitude there, Thy sister isle's welfare %sigh thine now is mingled, Forgot be thy hardships—forgot thy despair ; As the summer fields fresh from the rain-cloud be thou, With nerve in thy drooping arm —peace o❑ thy brow. Yes! joy to thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle. Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom; Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile, And leave on thy wan cheek some token of bloom. And true to thyself, true to Erie's old glory, Thy welcome shall live in the annals o 1 story. London, Aug. 10. E. E. M. K.
