St. Werburgh's Church.
The Duchess of Bedford was not able to attend
1 the Commemoration, at the Rotunda, on .rhorsday.
—About b ilf past eight, his Excellency, attended
be his suite, entered the room, where he was re-
ceived with the anxious and cheerful looks of all the
company, who seyn.ed rejoiced at his appearance. as
doubts were entertained when ••• he would have ho-

A meeting of Catholic Gentlemen was held in
this City on the 3d instant. when a series of Rego-
lUt:0111 was agreed to, of which the following con-
intone a part :—" That as tie Parochial Meetings
in Dublin have, within these few days, appointed
agents for the purpose of preparing an Address to
his Grace the Duke of lisorono, on the part of
i , the Catholics of the C.ii. of Dublin, es-chased", and
of further soperirtending on their part only, the
concerns of the Cathobe Body ; we conceive it to
' be of much importance to that Body, that its No-
bility, Clergy, and Gentry ; its landed interest ; its
learned p-ofessions ; its merchants, traders, and

dium near the vat of Government, through which

wishes and he means of which to promote their re-

, . ii rhe repellency of such a measure at this pre-
. sent time is obvious. We do indulge in a well-
founded hope. that the laws which still Jen us,
will, through the wise and benignant suggestion of
our erACIOUS Sovereign, be taken into early content-
. !station by those virtuous and illustrious men whom
a ht. has been lately pleased to call to his Councils.—
, Exorrience has, rnn:enver, proved to us, that the
soft-urendance of our interests cannot, with a view
to their tinal succem, and with a due consideration
of the good order, welfare. and prosperity of the
empire at large, be, with safety, entrusted to any
ethers among us. than those who shall include within
th. m the most attainable weight, talent, aad pro-
perty of the Catholics of Ireland.
