order only conditional with six days notice to show
cause.

mocracy all over the World," nod addressed to the

Two privates of the 74th Highlanders, stationed at

obvious motive. One of them, named William Wil-
liams, a native of Sligo, liew out hie brains wits his
musket on Monday evening; and the other, Duncan

At the half- early meeting of the City of Dublin
Steam I'acket Company, held yesterday, a long report
frem the directors was read, relating to sundry mat-
ters of great importance to the company; among the
rest, to the contract for the Holyhead mail service,
which they had just obtained; to the loss of the
Royal Adelaide; and to the ruinous opposition which
has for some time been carried on between that and
other Irish ateam packet companies. The report
chiefly dwelt on the history cf the opposition, and
touched briefly on the recent neootia'ions with the
Admiralty for the packet service. To enab!e the
company to c wry out that contract by purchasing
ad,litional vessels, the report recommended the pro-
prietors to grant the necessary powers far rai,ing a
sum of 20,0001. by way of mortgage on their land and
buildings in Liverpool. After the loss of a motion for
adjournment, the report was adopted. The f.llowing
allusion was mode to the loss of the Royal Adelaide :
The cause of the loss of the vessel cannot now hit weer-
taidtd. Most prohably it was occasioned by an extraordinary
and sadden increase of the violence of the storm at the
moment when she wain the narrowest part of the charnel.
The directors are pa!suaded that the loss MU not attribut-
able to thus, in cimmand ; Captain Bety being a study
experienced pilot, and well acquainted with the navirsticsi,
having been engaged on the London line and in the sonic*
of the company during the last twelve years. Tee stead
was in tared for the sum of 8,0001., and her place ass erase
been supplied ty sending another steamer on the station.
