awl likewise gemerous, the humane, and manly interest which
you chsplayed i averting the horrors of the late famine. and in

" We entrust your Erre lency, that in any communications

be pleased not to represent it as tlie art of this country or this
city, but of a set of heated and misguided persons, infuriated by
the spirit of • dangerous, and desperate, and misguided Faction,
one of the unfortunate consequences of our intestine di, Wiens.
" Again, Sir, we present our sincere essagratulations on your

presidential escape from the blows of the assassin, and our just
tribute of admiration at the matchless spirit, and the personal in-

,upon that trying occasion; we implore Providence to grant you
long life, and to preserve you as an iustniteent in the hands of our
most gracious Sovereign, to extend t. e blessings of a mild and
parental Government to all orders and descriptions of your coun-
trymen, and poor the balm of his conciliatory wisdom over the
fatal and hoset-rending distention, of your native country.

'este/ be transmitted to posterity al ng with the novel, and, we
trust, imperishable record of Ireland's tranquillity and f..eedoin.'
To this Address, which was very emphatically pro-
nounced by ihe Lord Mayor, his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant delivered ttie following Reply :

" Wm.t.zst.nv,
"The splendid appearance of this numerous and illustrious
assembly, the cordiality and ardour a your congratulations, and
par generous and affectionate attachment to my person and
stoles. erument, constitutes such an addit on to my honour and my
and would adorn the close of a long and active life
' walk lasting glory, that, if the assassin be not yet disarn_sl,
my yormsaal interest weird be, that he Arvid strike sole; hut
my ono to my God, to my King, and to my Country, forbids such
• whit; sad here, in your presence, with the most unfeigned sin-
cerity, I join my humble hope with your fervent pts,yers thit my
life may be spared for the service of Ireland, adding, with the
game earnestness, that if ever it should prove injurious or useless
to her interests and welfare, it will no longer be valuable to me.
" No exertions of which any public servant can he capable
(however endowed with genius and zeal, or matured by tape-I
&wee ("could keep pace with the ptternal solicitude of our bi-'
owed Sovereign, for the tranquillity sod prosperity of this into.
resting portion of his dominions. Were I possessed of all the
qualibcations which you are pleased to ascribe to me, I assure
you in the most solemn manlier, tl.at I could scarcely render jus-
tice to the spirit of benevolence towards Ireland which animate,
its Majesty's Royal heart, and which is the unanimous, active,
and ardent sentiments of all his counsels.
" Whatever may have been the success of my Government, my
anxious endeavour has been to pursue the course of his Majesty's
Intentions and councils by all impartial exercise of the Executive
rower, by a just and mercifu: administration of the law, and by
a regular system of mitigating and allaying every cause of irrita-
tion, and every incentive of discord and divis on.
" In relieving the distress of the last dreadful season, I was
greatly assisted by many now present: receiving from you this Ito-
nsurable tribute of your approbation, I desire to extend union to
our Countryme. and Fellow-Citizens.
"The indignation which the recent outrage has excited in your
breasts, is natural and honourable—let me nut be supposed to re-
prove so just a feeling when I declare, that having placed the
consideration of that transaction in the hands of the Law, I leave
it to the sacred light of legal justice to discover the origin, pro-
gress, and object of that disastrous attempt.
. So far, however, is my disposition averse from casting upon
the nation the crime of individuals, that I consider this event to
have called font the true character of my country in the most
amiable and vivid colours, and this Assembly attests the justice
of my opinioo.
~ On the other hand, neither the danger. wjtb alga my life
has been encompassed, i:or any which may still Mona, over me,
can disturb the even tenor of my course of government. Sensible
of the value of your confide..ce in my firmness, I trust that Pro-
•idence will never deprive mu of the fortitude required to meet
the duties of my station,
4 The great and valuable lesson, however, iueolcated on my
mind, as it is upo& yours, is the necessity of labourirg to turn this
evil to the public good. Here I claim your most assiduous and
active exertions for the peace and honour of our country. To-
wards this useful, but diffieult work, I tender to you, in true sin-
cerity of heart, the aid of every faculty, and of all the Aeons
which I possess or can acquire; and, recommending to your de-
liberate and united wisdom sad zeal the calm and dispassionate
eonsideen,tipn of the must effectual plan for removing from your
society the destructive incentive of division and discord. I im-
plore the God who has saved my life to enable me to employ what:-
ever days may be allotted to me in establishing tLe tranquillity,
freedom, and happiness of Ireland."
Among the deputation we observed his Grace the I
Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Meath, Lord Ardee, 1
O'Conor Don, and several of our most distinguished 1
fellow-citizens. We observed also; and were happy 1
to see them, the Most Rev. the Catholic Archbishop
of Dublin, Dr. Troy, and Dr. Murray, the Coadjutor
Prelate. These venerable men were in full canoni-1
cals, and wore their crosses.
• We never witnessed a scene which affected us soli
deeply ; we never saw a Meeting so moved, as the!
very distinguished company who were present in Si.
:Patrick's Rill ; and certainly, there never was a reply
so emphatic, so all of feeling, so pregnant with the
fire of youth, and the wisdom of mature age.
Immediately after the reception of the Address of
the Inhabitants of the City of Dublin, this day, by the
Lord Lieutenant, his Excellency held a Levee. There
were present sing °theta& his Grape the Duke of

Daniel /Murray was indicted 'for stealing, on the
sth of December, a gold watch kiln the shop, of
Vin Cent Si'vain, at Brighton.
The prisoner, who is only fourteen years of age,
comet.° the prosecutor's shop on the day in question,
and purchased a small gold pin. In the course of the
same day he came in, on two other occasions, with
Oifferent excuses. About five o'clock in the evening,
when the shopman was removing the different articles
from the window, teir the night, according to his octal
eusioru, he missed the watch. Recollecting that the
prisoner had been so often into the shop in the course,
of the day, he suspected him to be the person who had
taken it. He immediately went in pursuit of lame
and found him at a short distance from the shop
When he had seized hies, the prisoner began to cry.
and sail if he were allowed to go, he would give tip
the watch. He then produced it, and was taken back
to the shop. A constable was then sent for, and the
prisoner taken into custody. Guilty—Death.
• Richard Gardiner was indicted for stealing two
feather beds, a pillow, and other articles, the property
of Sir Richard .Burrows, on the 3d of December, at
Brighton.
It appears that Lady Burrows, having occasion to
leave Brighton, desired a house-agent in that town to
take possession or her house, stables, and furniture,
until she should return. This he did with regard to
the house. It now only remained for him to receive
possession of the coach-house and stables. The
coachman, who lived over the coach-house, having
taken away his horses, sent the prisoner witlt the
keys of the stables and his own rooms. Net having
any occasion. to go to this place until the.coachaan
of Lady Brownlow came to look at ihe premises, the
keys remained in the office of the house-agent until
that time. On the Above-mentioned occasion, when
he tried the keys with the different locks, he found
that they all fitted, except the one leading to the
coachman's room, in which the property mentioned in
the indictment was deposited. Finding that the key
would not unlock the door, a smith was sent for, and
the door forced. On entering they discovered that
the property was removed. Hand-bills were then
published, stating the circumstances of the case, and
distributed about the streets of Brighton. Amongst
the places at which one of these bills was left, was
the shop of a broker. He immediately recollected
having purchased similar articles from a stranger, and
.accordingly sent this information to Lady Burrows's
agent. The coachman was then sent for, and he per-
fectly recollected the pillow to be the one he had left
in his room. The prisoner was then apprehended.
In Els defence he said that they wer' his property,
and had sold them for the purpose of obtaining the
means of going to London, and was perfectly innocent
of the crime laid to his charge.--Gaily—sentenced
to six months imprisonment in the House of Correc-
tion for the county.
His Lordship then passed sentence of Death upon
the six following prisoners :
David Eylcs, fur uttering furged notes Wilslllol
William fitulderfieid, and James Miller, l,r burglary ; and
Muses Chandler and James Crossingham, for hurse-stcaling.
