IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JUNE 21.
• Up to three o'clock this afternoon the intelligence of
the King's demise had not reached the capital.
GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting
held yesterday, an address, transmitted to the Association
by the Dundee Radical 'Reform Association, was presented.
The Dundee reformers assure their Irish brethren that
they may rely on the firm aid and support of the Reformer::
of Scotland. A good deal of discussion afterwards took.
place on two motions made by Mr. R. O'Connell. The
first was to postpone the announcement of their second
year's existence as a National Association to the 15th July
=next ; his second referred to the name to be thenceforward
• borne by the Association, should the insane and unjust
policy of Lyndhurst and ~the Tory faction drive them to
another year's existence.
The anniversary of the glorious victory of Waterloo was
celebrated on Monday by a grand review and sham fight,
on the Fifteen Acres, Phcenix Park ; the 18th of June
having fallen upon Sunday. The hour originally an-
nounced for the review was one o'clock, but a subsequent
order was issued early on Monday morning, postponing it
until three o'clock. A vast concourse of persons were in
attendance, and numerous fashionable vehicles thronged the
'space near the flag-staff, upon which was hoisted the Union
;Jack.

BY THE QUEEN.
A PROCLAMATION,
'OR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF PIETY AND VIRTUE, AND
FOR THE PREVENTING AND PUNISHING OF VICE, PRO-
FANENESS, AND IMMORALITY.
VICTORIA R.
We most seriously and religiously considering that it is
lan indispensable duty on us to be careful, above all other
!things, to preservey and advance the honour and service of
Almighty God, and to discourage and suppress all vice,
profaneness, debauchery, and immorality, which are so
highly displeasing to God, so great a reproach to our,
religion and government, and (by means of the frequent'
ill examples of the practices thereof) have so fatal a
tendency to the corruption of many of our loving subjects,
~
otherwise religiously and virtuously disposed, and which (if`
not timely remedied) may justly draw down the Divine
vengeance on us and our kingdom : we also humbly ac-
knowledging that we cannot expect the blessing and good-2
ness of Almighty God (by whom Kings and Queens reign,
and on which we entirely rely), to make our reign happy,
and prosperous to ourselves and our people, without a reli-
gious ZI
observance of God's holy laws : to the intent there- s
gore, that religion, piety, and good manners may (accord-
ing
to our most hearty desire) flourish and increase under
our administration and government, we have thought fit, by
the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this our Royal
Proclamation, and do hereby declare our Royal purpose
and resolution to discountenance and punish all manner of ',,
vice, profaneness, and immorality, in all persons of whatso- --
ever degree or quality within our realm, and particularly in ~ EPA RATIONS FOR THE FUNERAL OF HIS

all occasions, distinguish persons of piety and virtue by

that all persons of honour, or in, place of authorit will give town for 'Windsor Castle, accompanied by Mr. Thomas

HIS LATE MAJESTY WILLIAM IV

With respect to the statement which has appeared in th
papers as to the remarks made by his late Majesty, who.
the tri-colour was presented to him on the part of the Duk
of Wellington on Sunday last—the following, we have it
from authority, were the actual words, or as nearly so as
is possible to repeat them, which our late revered Sovereigi.
did make use of on this highly interesting occasion :
" Tell the Duke," said his Majesty to the bearer of th.
Waterloo trophy, by the presentation of which his Grace
Wellington holds the tenure of Strathsfieldsay—" Tell di(
Duke I wish I could have received this flag at his house,
and have seen him once more preside at his dinner among
'the diminished ranks of his brave associates. lam very ili
I know, but I hope it. may please God to carry me thou&
this day, as I should grieve to think that my death shouk
!cast even a momentary gloom upon a day which is so brigh►
'in the annals of my beloved country."
When the Queen Dowager visited the chamber in whirl
our late beloved Monarch was laid out, her feeling, wet.
so powerfully affected by her melancholy bereavement, that
she fell into hysterics, and was carried out by her atten
dents. Her Majesty's health is seriously affected by be'
•
continued attendance on the late King.
Marlborough House is immediately to be got in readineo
for the Queen Dowager.

On Saturday last Dr. Baldwin, M.P., swore informations
against Mr. R. O'Driscoll and Mr. Henry Bourke, the
former for sending, and the latter for delivering him a hos-'
tile message.
Yesterday Mr. R. O'Driscoll lodged informations against
Dr. Baldwin, for having unprovokedly and without any
cause whatever, addressed language to him calculated to
lead to a breach of the peace.
The parties were bound over in 2001. each to prosecute,
at the Assizes. - I
