THE ADDRESS OF THE PEOPLE OF

IRELAND.

The following Address to his Majesty, signed by 250,000
individuals, was presented at the Levee jesterday, by a Depu-
tation consisting of the following Members of Parliament :
Sir Richard Musgrave, Sir Richard Nagle, Sir Wm. Braba-
zon, Messrs. George Evans, W. F. Finn, W. Villiers Stuart,
Thos. Wise, N. A. Vigors, Sharman Crawford, Winston Bar-
ron, and Serjeant Ball. A better practical refutation can
hardly be afforded of the assertion made with so much effrontery
that the people of Ireland take no interest in the question of
extending Municipal rights to them.
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

SIRE,—We, your Majesty's dutiful subjects, the People of
Ireland, in laying at the foot of the Throne the prayer which
we are about to submit to your Majesty, as Father of your
people, beg to offer our earnest assurance that we yield to none
of the faithful subjects of your Majesty in attachment to your
Royal Person, in Loyalty to the Crown, in anxiety to maintain
the connection of the British and Irish Nations, or in desire to
advance the general welfare of the empire.
With these sentiments, we beg most respectfully to repre-
sent to your Majesty, that we claim, in full equality with the
rest of your Majesty's subjects, all the Rights and -Privileges
of the British Constitution ; and that we are entitled to have
extended to us all the Reforms and Improvements in our Laws
and Institutions, which the care and wisdom of Parliament
may from time to time devise, for the benefit of our fellow-
citizens—the British and Scotch people.

Sire, the people of Scotland liave obtained municipal esta-
blishments, framed upon a full and free popular basis, instead
of the narrow and self elective bodies which governed their
towns. The English people have had extended to them a
large measure of Municipal Reform, abolishing the proved
abuses of their corporate system, but preserving all the inesti-
mable benefits of local self.government.
Your Majesty's Irish subjects have received with gratitude
the expression of your Majesty's desire, in opening the former
Session of Parliament, to apply to the defects and evils of the
municipal institutions of Ireland a remedy founded upon the
same principles as those measures of Reform which have been
already passed for England and Scotland. This desire,
equally wise and just, conveys to us the assurance that your
Majesty regards the people of Ireland as equally faithful in
their allegiance, and equally fitted for the enjoyment of free
institutions as the people of England and Scotland.
It is, therefore, with surprise and regret that we have wit-
nessed the resistance of one branch of the Legislature to the
exertions of your Majesty's Government, sustained by the re-
presentatives of the people in Parliament, to carry into effect
a measure founded upon those principles recommended by your
Majesty. We have sought the reform of our Corporations, not
their destruction ; and we view with alarm the attempt to sub-
stitute a system of municipal government at variance with the
wishes of your Majesty, disappointing the just expectations of
your people, insulting to the national character, repugnant to
the British Constitution, calculated to excite distrust and dis-
content in Ireland, and fatal to the harmony of the empire.
And we humbly submit that we can lay before your Majesty
no stronger proof of our attachment to the laws or the Con-
stitution of this realm than the expression of our firm resolu-
tion to persist in demanding, and never to rest satisfied till we
shall obtain, the same measure of justice which the Legisla-
ture has declared essential to the freedom and welfare of the
rest of the United Kingdom.
Sire, the course of policy pursued by the opponents of Mu-
nicipal Reform fills us with serious apprehension upon another
question, to which we look with still greater interest. We
humbly concur in the gracious wish expressed by your Ma-
jesty for a just settlement of the tithe question, upon such
principles as will tend to establish harmony and peace in this
country. The present state of the law respecting tithes, in
Ireland, is fraught with incalculable danger; and regarding it
as unjust in its principle, oppressive in its operation, irrecon-
cileable to the feelings of your Majesty's Irish subjects, we
cannot contemplate its continuance without anxious fears for
the existence of social order.

We do, therefore, Sire, confiding in your wise and paternal
disposition to redress the grievances of your people, and pro-
mote their interests, humbly solicit your gracious consideration
of our claim to the same rights, franchises, and powers enjoyed
by our fellow-subjects the people of Great Britain ; and to a
just reform of those institutions which interfere with the peace,
the liberty, and the welfare of the nation. And we especially
pray your Majesty, in the constitutional exercise of the power
of the Crown, to adopt such measures as to your wisdom may
seem fit, to effect a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the
questions of Municipal Reform and Tithes.

was to have taken place yesterday, is postponed to the 15th, in

VIOLET ; OR, THE DANSEUSE.—This novel will
attract many readers by the interest of its story, and the most
careless of its perusers will be struck by the inferences to be
drawn from its events, and their results. It is a picture of to-
day, not drawn, as too many such pictures are, with colours
whose only aim is brilliancy, but with soft lights, and dark
shades, and tones whose depth makes their truth. Violet her-
self is one of those beautiful creations which only the Poet can
conceive. Such are the Mignon of Goethe, the Nydia of
Bulwer, and the Rsmeralda of Victor Hugo. Violet is just the
ideale of a young, simple, and affectionate girl, with the poetry
which is essentially part of woman's nature, uncontaminated by
the world,
