and decisive measure taken by the Goverionent to insure
the peace of the City, and to prevent the shameful exhi-
bitions which usually take place on the 4th of Novi:min r.

Alter quoting the resolutions passed at the board of
magistrates, interdicting the dressing of the statute, the
wrier thus proceeds :
One of the aldermea above-named Watley) is the chief
magistrate of police, and several others are divi-ional
magistrates. After the publication of this document
winch or our readers would have dared to insinuate that
effectual measures would lint be taken to have obedience
to it enforced ? Yet, after its publication in all the
evening papers of saturday, the first peep of day disclosed
King %Villiatu bedecked in most gorgeous attire on Sun-
day, and so he continued during the day I No attempt
was made to prevent the dressing—no aUelllpt was
to remove it alter it had been put on.
We now call the arention of tLe press, and the people
of the milted kingdom, to one point, which we wish to
have cleared up, namely, why is II that the municipal
and local aut hoi Mrs are powerless when opposed to the
Orange faction—a baud of obscure and unknown per-
sons, bound by seciet oaths to certain mystetions Min-
i gat ions, and whi..se act!,, as far as they are disclosed, are
as much opposed to the Thome and the Government,
as to the peace and happiness of the reunify ? Why is
it that the city of Dublin iv periodically abandoned to
the rule of this semi. hand? There is but one way of
explaining the difficulty, which we shall leave to the
sagacity of our readers to divine.
e learn hum an eye-witness that the slalute was
dressed yesterday at about five o'clock in the morning--
The prisons who dressed it issued from a public-house
in Ship-street. Three persons ascended the statue: there
were groups hovering about in various directions, im all,
perhaps, about 40 or 50 Well. When they opproacht d
the statue, they inquired of a policeman, who seemed as
if rusted near it, whether he had any orders to oppose
the dressing of the statue; he replied not. This point
ascertained, the g,erelloscas proceeded to busines-, ant'.
having decorated their idol. they very quietly retired.--
Two or three policemen eould have prevented the dress-
ing—a single man could have removed it! We were
told that a spectator having expressed some disappro-
bation at the proceeding, the police who were present
said, that although he had no orders to prevent the
dressing of the statue they had orders to prevent a riot,
and ur,Lwriy Mimed away this oulurtunatedissentient to
the %yawn-how.. Titus, it appeared, the dressing was
ellected under the protection of the police
