NATIONAL TRIBUTE.—ARCHBISHOP MuanAv.—The J
Rev. Dr. Murray, in a letter dated the 24th inst., addressed
to D. Lynch, Esq., one of the Trustees of the National
Tribute, conveys to the fund his subscription, 10/. In re-
ference to the conduct of the faction that, seeking to per-
petuate the reign of injustice in Ireland, array in hostility
against (her) civil rights all who will listen to the call of
bigotry, Dr. Murray writes, " While this unwise iniquitous
course is pursued, the most apathetic amongst us are re-
minded, to turn with gratitude to the max who has been
its ablest and firmest opponent, the uncompromising advo-
cate of equal laws for every class of this great empire, and
the efficient supporter of that paternal Government, which
is straining every nerve to apply to the wounds of our suf-
fering country the only remedy that can effect their cure—
the balm of impartial justice." Judging from the accounts
contained in all the provincial papers, the collection pro-
mises to be completely successful.
WATERFORD COUNTY MEETlNG.—Gervaise Bushe,
Esq., High Sheriff of this county, in compliance with a re-
quisition, signed by Mr. Villiers Stuart, Lord Lieutenant
of the county, the county Members, and a large proportion
of the Gentry, has convened his Bailiwick, at Dungarvon,
on the 2d of June, to petition for a full measure of Corpo-
rate Reform, and the abolition of Tithes.
The IVateifurd Chronicle states that " the princi-
pal subscribers to the requisition calling on the Sheriff
to convene a meeting of that county, to petition Par-
liament against Tithes, and for a full measure of Cor-
porate Reform, are Protestants—a fact," continues our
contemporary, " we mentioned in our last to tell abroad
the flagrant falsehoods of the factious and unprinci-
pled portion of the public press, which exhibit every-
thing allied to Reform as of destructive tendency to the
Established Church, and the existence of Protestantism in
Ireland. It is a truth impossible to controvert, that the
active leaders of Liberalism—the soul and spirit of the
cause in which the people are embarked, are those whose
religious notions are opposed to theirs as darkness is to day
—as error is to truth, and that those are they who sincerely
conceive justice, policy, prudence, and everything dear to
the human heart urge them to support the principles they
advocate."

A hostile meeting took place at Curnmin, on Wednesday
morning ; the parties (one of whom is the Editor of the
Sligo paper), fired three shots each ; on the second fire the
aggressor received his antagonist's hall through the ti owsers
below the knee, which carried away the skirt of his frock ;
the third shot perforated the skirt of the gentleman's coat
who was so treacherously assailed at the occurrence which
caused the meeting.

The Countess of Chaileville, who has been sericiusly
indisposed at the family seat, Charleville F,rest, in Ireland,
is, we are happy to state, from the last ac counts received in
town, slowly recovering.

Madame Devrient has left Drury-Lane Theatre.
There are many versions of the Ca' as, ; but we believe the
right one is, that she expected to be . paid her salary (eighty
p;itilds) for the evening.on which Pt ista gave a concert, which
Mr. Bunn did not feel disposed to r to,
as she did not
sing. Taglioni receives one hundr
pounds for every night
she dances ;—who would not be a disciple of Terpsichore?
We have been told that Madame Devrient asked a thousand
guineas for attending the eusui•jg. Musical Festival at Bi
ming,harn ; the great Catalani ()ay six hundred pounds
for singing at the York I'estiva atr istp
