THE QUEEN'S DESPATCH TO

LORD MULGRAVE.

[From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.]
Just before going to Press, we procured a copy of the fol-
lowing important Despatch. Our readers may rely upon its
accuracy. We have not time to add one word:
Whitehall, July IS, 1837.

MY LORD—In confiding again to your Excellency -the im-
portant charge of administering the affairs of Ireland in her
Majesty's name, the Queen has commanded me to express to
your Excellency her Majesty's entire approbation of your
past conduct, and her desire that you should continue to be
guided by tho same principles in which you have hitherto
acted.
The Queen willingly recognises in her Irish subjects a
spirit of loyalty and devotion towards her person and Go-
vernment.
Her Majesty is desirous to see them in the full enjoyment
of that civil and political equality to which, by recent Sta-
tutes, they are fully entitled ; and her Majesty is persuaded
that when invidious distinctions are altogether obliterated,
her Throne will be still more secure, and her people more
truly united.
The Queen has seen with satisfaction the tranquillity which
has lately prevailed in Ireland, and has learned with pleasure
thtt the general habits of the people arc in a state of pro
gressive improvement, arising from their confidence in the
just administration of the powers of Government.
I ern commanded to express to you her Majesty's cordial
wishes for the continued success of your Administration, and
your Excellency may be assured that your efforts will meet
with firm support from her Majesty.
The Queen further desires that you will assuro her Irish
subjects of her impartial protection.
I have, &c.,
(Sgned) J. RUSSELL.
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, &c., &c., &c.

A short time ago, as a knight of the hammer was
selling furniture in a bedroom, in Little Dean, whilst he was
in the act of saying, " Going, going," &c., the floor gave
way, and the auctioneer, clerks, and audience, descended
into a lower apartment, to the no small amazement of the for-
mer and a portion of the latter, who were not much hurt.
The auctioneer, peeping out of the ruins, said, " I told you it
was going." " Yes," replied a bystander, "you have told
the truth for once, zur, purely accidental, I suppose though."

—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
Lovit.—The editor of the Methuen Gazette
makes the following sweeping assertion :—What, a man, and
never in love I Pshaw ! Such a man must have a heart of
ice, a soul as lifeless as a corn cob, the gizzard of a goose,
arid a head as sappy as a cocoa nut."
An officer on a field day happened to be thrown
from his horse, and as he lay sprawling on the ground, said
to a friond who ran to his assistance—" I thought," said he,
" I had improved in my riding, but I find I have fallen off."
MININIUM OF \VIT.—A gentleman being asked
by a friend, " what it was o'clock ?" replied, " Little or no-
thing." " How so ?" askad the inquirer. " Why," said the
wit, "it is not quite one, and that It hich is less than one must
be little or nothing."
COLLECTOR'S RETURN.—" A very small bill, Sir,
just " My dear Sir, entirely out of my power; do
me the favour to call to-morrow, and I'll tell you when to
call again."
SHARP REToRT.—Sir William B being at
a parish meeting, made proposals, which an influential farmer
objected to, and so effectually, that they were not carried.
Highly enraged—" Sir," says he to the farmer, " sou may
be a judge of a plough, but you know nothing of the subjects
in which you interfered. I think I ought to be well informed
upon them, I have been at both the Universities, and at two
Colleges in each." " Well, Sir," replied the farmer. " and
what of that? I had a calf that sucked two cows, and the ob-
servation I made was, that the more he sucked the greater calf
lie grew."
The Duke of Wellington, as lord-lieutenant of
Hants, is expected to review the South Hampshire Yeomanry,
at toney-cross, the first week in August.
The Duke of Richmond has invited a party to
Gordon Castle, where the game is most abundant, for the
purpose of grouse shooting, which commences on the 12th
August. His Grace and family will leave Goodwood for
1: Scotland immediately after the races, which will commence
' the week after next.
The Marquis of Sligo has arrived at Brussels,
where his lordship will proced to Wisbaden, for the benefit of
the celebrated baths.
The Earl and Countess of \Vinchilsca, who have
been on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Errol, at their
residence at Brighton, have left town for their seat, Haver-
holm Priory, Lincolnshire. His Lordship's only son, Vis-
count Maidstone, is a candidate for the representation of
Northamptonshire, in opposition to Lord Milton.
The Earl of Aberdeen has left Argyll House for
Haddo Castle, his scat in Aberdeenshire. The grand fete to be
.isiven in September, in honour of his eldest son, Lord Haddo,
coming of age, will be on a scale of great splendour.
GERMAN DINNERS.—I expected to see the Ger-
mans cat an immoderate quantity, but observed this was not
the case. At the first glance they might appear to do so, for
they helped themselves to every thing that went round, and
their plates were changed every two minutes. But these
helps " were ridiculously small, such as half a chicken's leg,
a single slice of tongue, &c. Indeed, the host of the Alice
Seal seemed resolved that his guests should not transgress in
this way, and, on the strength of his hotel being the acknow-
ledged most fashionable dining.place, at Schwalbach, often took
the liberty of providing very scantily. lie seemed to have
adopted as his motto the German proverb, " Alle gate dinge
sind drei" (" all good things are three"), for he seldom ex-
ceeded that number of the same article on each dish ; three
fairy cutlets,—three slices of ham that looked as if they had
been carved for Queen Mab, and so on.—A Summer in
Germany.

ILFRACONIBE.—This beautiful and romantic water•
log place is full of company in consequence of the salubrity of
i
its air. It s visited by gentlemen of the Faculty, whose pro-
fessional engagenymts will allow them a few days relaxation.
Among the number we may mention at present there—Dr.
Roget of London, Dr. Fox of Bristol, Dr. Black of Taunton,
Dr. Down:of Southampton, Dr. Hawkins, and Dr. Bumpas of
Bristol. The New Hotel and Cold Baths, with the improved
sea bathing, give general satisfaction, and have been the means
of causing a great influx of visitors.
The Legislative Assembly of the free city of Frank-
fort decreed on the Bth inst. that when a private sold.ier. had
been placed in the degraded class, in which alone be is !lable
to the infliction of corporal punishment, he may, on 019 simple
order of a Captain, have ten lashes administered to him ; on
the order of a Major, fifteen ; and on the order of a superior
officer, twenty.
