(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
THE DEPARTURE OF LORD NORM AN'IIY.
DenLIN, FED. 12.
This event which is regarded with so much regret h this ccuntrv,
is understood to be Axed for Saturday next. His Excellency has com-
manded a performance at the theatre on Thursday night, has ap.
pointed Friday for a Levee, and sails upon the streceedirg day. A
private meeting took place at the Commercial-buildings this day, to
consider the best mode of expressing the feelings of the citizens of
Dublin upon the occasion. Either an address or a public meeting will
be determined on, and it is generally understood, that without any at.
tempt at a procession, most of the wealthy and respectable citizens will
accompany his Excellency to Kingstown upon the day of his de-
parture. Lord Radnor, who it is believed will be his successor,
would give satisfaction here as far as any person could, comirg
after Lord Normanby, but the chief reliance of the tuition is. upon
Lord Morpeth, who will, it is understood, be the real Governor for
the future—no matter who is the nominal one. His admission
the Cabinet would go to warrant this opinion. In the Post of this
evening it is announced that there will be a public meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce to-morrow of the friends of Ireland, to deter.
mine upon the most suitable mode of addressing Lord Norinanhy
before his departure, and from a private source I learn that there
will be an undress Levee at the Castle on Saturday morrlng, to
which ladies will be admissible, before the hour of their Excellen.
cies' departure. . •

The Precursor Society met this evening. A letter was read from
Mr. O'Connell, stating that he would arrive in Ireland on Sunday
next, attend a meeting on Monday, and sail that same night for
Holyhead, to attend the Corn.law discussion in the House of Con,,,
mons. The tone of the letter is rather desponding, and he calls
upon the country to come forward with petitions. He makes refer-
ence to his late attack upon Lord Brougham, for whom he says he
has another volley in store if he provokes him to a second onslaught.
No business was done at this meeting, except moving its adjourn.
ment to the day Mr. O'Connell had promised to attend.
A frigate has been sent by Government to take soundings in the
Shannon, to determine whether It is practicable to form a harbour
at the mouth of that noble river. This is a measure which has
been long sought at their hands.

Still rendering more justice to Inland, which, though not officially a

the treatment she has for many years received at the hands of the
governing country.
The incident which caused this change cannot come wi',ll sur-
