ADYIBBIOX Or Till PUBLIC TO Till ROYAL
Aesint•L.—ln eensequeoce of the ecitios wbkh appeared
in the daily papers to the effect that the public would be
admitted to view the Royal Arsenal without cards on
Tuesdays and Thundays, • large number of persons pro-
moted themselves at the main gate yesterday, but were
refused admission, the order having been for some reseal
suddenly countermanded by the authorities at the War De-
partmeut. This decision 14 somewhat extisonlinary Maw
much as the several superintendents of department■ had
already decided as to the neoeseary regulations, and it had
been arranged that visitors slieedd proceed through the
establishmest in parties of toasty amomwied by an officer.
Lie stated that lie War Deportment' declined to eanstioe
these regulations, but that the subject is still under the
consideration of the authorities with a view to afford free
admission to the public at least one day in each week.

THe LONDON IRISH it:rm.—The annual ment-
he of the members of this corps took place on Tuesday
I evening at the Orderly-rooms, 5, Lancester-plairs, a
The chair woe not taken for nearly an hour after the ap-
pointed time on account of the small attendance. When the
=offings commenced there were Dot forty present. The
Marquis of Dooegall, in opening the basilicas, expressed his
regret at not being able to congratulate the members on the
financial condition of the corps or its general aspect.
Out of 509 enrolled members, only 113 had up to
that day paid their subscriptions for the current year-
and
whilst at their last annual meeting the balance
at the bankers' was over 3501., it was to him a source
of great regret that the present balance wee so small that
he was ashamed to name it. The expenses of the
were great. The falling off in the finances was exactly
in keeping with the attendances at parade and drill. Oa
Saturday pandas their attendances ranged between 40 and
80 men. This, which was very disolituaging, waa, he re-
gritted to say, every day getting worse. He had been
considering what course to pursue under the circumstances,
and he had determined, that if the attendances for the
future were not better, not to allow them to be present at
any more reviews, as it was morally impossible, without
200 men, to go through battalion drill, or that they could
derive any instruction from musters such as they had had
for some months beck. He was sorry to state that a schism
bad of late crept in amongst the officers as regards the pro.
motions. Al far as he was concerned, he could only say
that in any recommendations he made be was guided by
what be considered beet for the regiment, and if they were
not satisfied with the course he was pursuing, he would
cease to be colonel, end resign the command. General
Watkins re-echoed the statements of the Marquis of Done-
gal, as fares related to what be consideredtthe very hopeless
state of the corps. Ensign Godfrey, in a practical speech,
made some useful suggestions, which, from his
constantly associating with his company, he believed would
make the corps popular, and secure its permanence.
Captain Mliweeney deplored their present *iodation, which,
be said, was owing to the proceeding of two English agita-
tors, one of whom had recently retired. A scene of
indescribable confusion followed the delivery of this state.

It was at last put an and to by Oaptain *Sweeney 'hastily
leaving the room, followed by half a dozen friends, who
besought his return. He refused to do so, stating that he
belonged to the Victoria Rides, and he would go to them.
When order was motored, the Marquis of Donegall and
Ensign Godfrey paid • high tribute to the character and
abilities of Lieutenant Bigg, who, they regretted, had left
the corps. This met with a hearty response in the applause
of all who were present. The proceedings, which were very
stormy throughout, were brought toe clime by the Marquis
of Donegal' stating the regret with which he witnessed what
had taken place that evening, and expressing a hope that if
he met them again it would be whets a more friendly feeling
was exhibited. There was no baleace-eheet submitted.
