" May it please your Majesty, " We, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of your ancient and loyal city of Dublin, approach your Majesty with every sentiment of the most profound respect. We are threatened with injury and injustice, and we humbly beseech your Majesty's protection. " Our corporation has existed from time immemorial. ..... Numerous statutes and charters attest our steadfast loyalty, our constant attachment to British connexion, and faithful allegiance to the Royal Crown and Government now vested in your Majesty's sacred person. These statutes and charters have confirmed our original and prescriptive rights, and grunted us new privileges in consideration of . ..... .._ ... the losses austained, and aufferinis endured, by our pre decessors in support of the Crown and Constitution o' these realms. " When England would no longer submit to the spiri tual supremacy of a foreign Power, this corporation was foremost in promoting and upholding the Protestant re ligion, and in consequence thereof it was visited with the severe displeasure of King James 11., who had invaded our rights, dismissed our corporation, and transferred our estates to a Popish body named by himself; but contem poraneously with the triumph of these principles, which placed your Majesty's illustrious house upon the British throne, these rights were restored, and we were remitted to our ancient privileges, of which we have since conti nued in the quiet and peaceable enjoyment. " From the period of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland, we beheld our city deserted by the nobility and gentry of the country; our trade and local commerce decaying ; the gradual removal of our public establishments, and those which remained filled with strangers ; our poor increasing, and all our resources di miuished ; but we nevertheless submitted to every per sonal and local privation, in order to preserve the integrity and advance the general welfare of the empire. " During all these changes we have considered our elective franchise as freemen, and the right of transmitting it to our posterity, the most valuable privilege we enjoyed; and we have lately learned with feelings of the greatest alarm, that it is the intention of your Majesty's Ministers to propose its entire abolition after the lives of the present resident freemen, while the same privilege is to remain in perpetuity to the freemen of Great Britain. \Ve will not trespass on your Majesty by repeating our strong ob jections to the proposed Reform Bill generally, which H w o e ‘is h e av o e f r a a lr r ( l . i a a d m y en u t rf o et r i petition reasons t o the which Commons satisfy us that, if that measure he carried into effect in Ireland, it ,will lead to a dismemberment of the empire, and by in s a tatn result in disorder, anarchy, an! civil war ; but we content ourselves, at present, with laying at the feet of your Majesty, our most respectful, but firm remon• strance, against the particular act above referred to, et gross partiality, and great injustice towards a body which has ever been distinguished by an unshaken loyalty to their Sovereign, and an undeviating support of the laws, and en ardent devotion to the Constitution under which these countries have attained to unrivalled greatness. We like wise feel that we should be wanting in our duty to your Majesty, did we not respectfully express our honest con viction, th•tt the motive which has induced this unjust treatment is a deference to unreasonable clamour and intimidation, and a vain attempt to buy off the hostility of the professional agitators, and habitual disturbers of the peace and tranquillity of this portion of your Majesty's dominions. " Impressed with a deep sense of our individual wrongs, and under much apprehension for the safety of lin the settled institutions of the country, we appeal to your most gracious Majesty; we humbly tender the tribute of our devoted affection to your august family; we repeat the assurance of our inviolable fidelity to your Majesty's person, crown, and dignity, in defence of which we declare our readiness to spend our best energies, our fortunes, and our lives. We only implore justice for ourselve., a rigorous and impartial administration of the laws in our distracted country, and equal protection of all classes of your Majesty's subjects." The letter of a Dublin correspondent contains a curious account of the levy of a fine upon a Polish noble refugee, for omitting to furnish the Secretary of State's office (in conformity with the Alien Act) with a declaration in writing, stating where he intended to reside in Ireland. The conduct of this nobleman, in making speeches at the Dublin Political Union, in vituperation of our foreign policy, was, to say the least of it, indiscreet; but little temper must be allowed for in unfortunate exiles of this description. As the omission seems to have been altogether unintentional, we are of opinion with our cor respondent that Government will remit the 6ne. ...Morn ing Advertiser. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The answer of his Majesty to the address of he Dublin Corporation, which was presented on the 22,1 of this month of February, has given great satisfaction to every one but the aforesaid Corporation and its friends. The address which produced the answer was a specimen of civic wisdom that required some !ling more than ordi nary notice, and that something was administered with admirable effect. It may not be known to all our readers that this Corporation has been re markable at all times for the violence of its Orange propensities ; that it has been the cradle, or rather the citadel, of one of the parties to whose animosity the welfare of Ireland has been long sacrificed. Its extinction is contemplated in the Irish Reform Bill, on the demise of the present race of freemen ; and this prospect of extinction was the pretext on which they thought proper to approach his Majesty with th e l anguage o f re monstrance and dictatio n . If they had confined themselves to the grievance of which they corn plained, or even communicated their advice re specting the general measure in a tone more suit able to their station and understandings, they would have experienced a different reception. But not content with dwelling on their own loyalty and vir tue, nor the loss on which the community must ex perience on their being declared politically childless by Act of Parliament, they went on to impute motives to Ministers, and intentions to proceed ings of the Legislature, and, by implication, purposes to the King himself, incompatible with the high duties of Government, which they were respectively bound to consult. It was this inso lence of tone that gave point to the following cold, but cutting, answer of his Majesty : " I have heard with deep regret the sentiments expressed in the address which has now been presented to me. " I shall always be ready to listen to representations of such grievances as may appear to any of my subjects to dive them just CALM of complaint, and to afford redress 'o the utmost of my power. In this wish I am firmly persmaded that I only share the benevolent feelings which prevail in my Parliament. On their wisdom and equity, 4nd on the integrity of my constitutional advis e rs, I rely vial confidence whi c h f or bid s me to suspect that hey can ever he induced to expose any portion of my subjects to in jury and injustice. " Neither was it necessary to claim from me a vigorous and impartial administration of the laws, and equal pro tection for all classes of my subjects.' These have been, `rum the period of my accession to the throne, and ever vill be, the coastant and unceasing objects of my Go. vertuan's*. Independently of the satisfaction which we feel at seeing presumption repressed, there is a spirit of impartial justice in those sentiments, from which we augur most favourably for Ire land and Reform.—Morning Herald. Sheridan's never-to-be-forgotten allusion to the Whigs erectirt7l walls for the purpose of run ning their own heads against seems to be quite as true of those of' the present day as those of the period when Sheridan himself was one of the inconvenienced victims of it. To what but this extraordinary propensity to put themselves in the wrong can we attribute the virtual defeat which Ministers have subjected themselves to in the House of Commons, on a matter of such trifling public moment, yet of such obvious injustice, as that of denying to the Master of the Rolls in Ireland the means of trying his right to appoint his own Secretary. It is one of the leading features of he great charter of our liberties that no man shall be denied justice—that is, that the King's Courts shall he open to every man, and the re medy to he obtained in them pure and unpol luted. Yet here is an instance where a man is gravely told by the King's Ministers that to him the doors of the King's Courts shall he closed, and that because, forsooth, lie will not succumb to the most notable species of equity chat ever was heard of—viz., an arbitration by which he can gain nothing, because his oppo nent's claims are to remain untouched, be the re sult what it may. A man may possess acknow ledged talents, either as a Statesman, a Judge, or anything else, but unless he keeps his character up to the standard formed by the moral perception of the great bulk of mankind, his talents, like those, for instance, of Sheridan himself, will fail of much of their weight and importance. And we can tell the present Ministers that in allowing , hemselves to be dragged through the mire of such a transaction as this, for the purpose of humouring one of their own colleagues, they neither enhance their own reputation nor his in the eyes of the people of England or of Ireland. The question itself is, at least on one side, one of mere pelf—of mere selfishness ; but when that question resolves itself into a mere claim to try a light, what man living is there who can say that it is a privilege which can with propriety be de nied to the meanest of the King's subjects, or, least of all, that a resistance to it can with any decent show of propriety originate with those whose duty it is, in the name of their Royal Master, to see equal justice, as far as in them lies, done to every man ? Instead of resisting this claim of the Master of the Rolls to try his right, a high-minded honourable man like Lord Grey should have insisted upon every obstacle to his doing so being removed. An Act of Parliament should not have been thought of or permitted ; but Lord Plunkett should have been told, as we trust he will still be told, that even a seeming denial of justice must not emanate from one who, even more than Csesar's wife (being clothed in ermine himself), should be beyond suspicion. —Morning Herald. We are compelled by a strong sense of the ne cessity of the case to refer again, and with more anxiety than ever, to the cholera regulations, be cause we perceive that they are pressing upon the industry of the country to an extent that must lead, if they are continued much longer, to commercial embarrassment that it will be no easy task to remedy. If by the dispensation of Pro vidence the country be afflicted with a disease highly dangerous and contagious, we must sub mit patiently to such regulations as are most likely to protect ourselves and our neighbours from its effects ; but what is the short history of the case before us ? That all persons profes sionally qualified to judge of it who are not paid for giving their opinion make light of it, and all those who are paid are full of dismay and anxiety and apprehension as to its present extent and future progress. It is therefore desirable at any rate to change the system that is at pre sent pursued, not only upon public grounds, but out of compassion to the individuals engaged in it.
