IRELAND.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)•
• DUBLIN, JULY 9.
As the Session of Parliament approaches its termination,
the anxiety of the people of Ireland increases. They did not
anticipate very much benefit to the country from the good in.
tentions of a friendly Government, or the exertions of their
friends in the legislature, during the first year of the new
Parliament; but they reckoned upon something, however
little, towards that general amelioration, the necessity
for which has been so often and so long admitted as
due to us. The period is now at hand, when the value of
that something will be examined with much scrutiny. It is
true, that three Bills of great interest and importance are. likely
to pass the legislature, almost in despite of the faction that has
so long obstructed improvement of Ireland. It is equally
true that the most sanguine Reformers had hardly calculated
on obtaining so many all at once. But the quantity of legis-
lation seems diminished in effect by its quality. Those two
measures of Reform so long due to us—namely, Corporate
Reform, and an adjustment of the Tithe system, are doled out
with a very niggard hand indeed. For the former, however,
the people will feel grateful ; because, though niggardly con.
ceded, it cannot fail of producing that equality of privilege,
sooner or later, front which the great majority have been so
long excluded, contrary to the very spirit and principle of their
indifferent laws, by which we have been governed. But unless
O'Connell's amendment of the Tithe Bill, as regards the
arrears under the Million Act, be carried. that measure will
afford satisfaction to very tew cf the parties interested. The
entire system of law of tithes, always obnoxious end execrated
by the great bulk of these who plc! them, has be-
come absolutely intolerable of late, in consequence of the
persecutions adopted to enforce payment. And the people,
who during the last two or three years have been kept from
openly rebelling against this enforcement of the law by their
confidence in the present Government, cannot he restrained
from violence, if they find little or no mitigation of their sui.-
ferings under the new law. There is no denying the fact,
and it is mischievous to conceal it, while a hope re-
mains of changing the previsions of the Bill before
Parliament, that that Bill brings very little relief in.
deed to the parties at present liable under Stanley's
Act. If the thing had been granted three or four
years ago, all might be well ; but it is now too late.
One thing is evident, that pence cr tranquillity can-
not be preserved in Ireland, if the poor Catholics be com-
pelled to pay anything for the support of a Church Establish-
ment. I say the poor Catholics ; because I believe the rich
ones having the fee simple of the land, or tome such large in-
terest therein, would not hesitate to join in the burden with
the Protestant landholders, in order to preserve the public
peace, and promote the general improvement of their country,
But if the poor Catholics who have no rant:, and no istere.i,t
in the soil except that acquired by the sweat of their brow, be
still compelled by law to support the ascendant church, Nor-
wanby himself, the most successful of pacificators in Ireland,
will not be able to preserve order. All Protestant tied ca-
tholic landlords, therefore, who rccsive two-thirds of the real
rent of land, should be obliged to pay the land- tax, to be sub-
stituted for Tithe composision, ecithout the power of reco-
vering even against their immediate tenant, at present liable to
said con position. And where the landlord, liable under the
now law, does not receive two-thirds of the actual rent salue
of the land, he should, if his next tenant liable be a Catholic, be
cempensated by the State. A petition from the Protestant cle-gy
of Ireland against the present m,asure discloses facts respecting
the liability of the actual occupants of the limd, 'corroborative
of the justice and good policy of the suggesfons just off red.
By that petition it will appear that about half the Titbe Ccm-
position only is at present !I:lphi'. by the occupant;. Now, Ii
where the occupants are Catholics, liible to pay, and their
landlor I receives ices than trio-thirds the value rent of the

ground, the new rate in lieu of Tithe. Compositon or rent-
charge were made payable by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
cr by the State, to that Iler-d; instead of his beine-
rised to receiver it over ageinst his next tenent (being a Ca-
tholic) the Bill in progress might be indeed a healing mea-
sure, productive of the happiest consequences. Thy burden
would net be at any time heavy on the State or the Ecclesias-
tical Commissioners, and would be every day becoming less so.
No public event has ever caused more unequivocal joy and
hilarity than her Majesty's Coronation throughout Ireland.
Nor is true, as stated by some of the local prints, that any
considerable number of the Orange faction in any of the
towns refused that testimony of their loyalty—illumination on
the 28th ultimo. The public rejoicings were everywhere uni-
versal, and by far the most marked and splendid that we re-
member—not excepting the occasion of the general peace_
duriee the last thirty years. The millions in :his country feel
that Victoria's reign is to them the commencement of a
state of equality of rights and privileges to which they have
been her( tofore strangers; and they therefore heartily pray
that it may be to her, " happy, long, and glorious." I must,
however, not conceal, that the " Coronation favours" were
expected to be more liberal towards Ireland. I have in more
quarters than one, publicly and privately, heard expressions of
disappointment, at the few promotions conferred on Irishmen
and at the omission of certain strenuous and efficient supporters
of' Wbiggism. The people of the county of Waterford, for
example, think no man more deserving of a British peerage than
Villiers Steuart, and they are joined in that opinion by many
throughout Ireland, who remember the Constitutional fight of
1826, in that county. The same thing may be said of the
liberals of this city, and other parts of Ia eland, as to the omis-
sion of Mr. John Power's name amongst the newly created
baronets. That a gentleman of his independent fortune, who
has for many years contended for, end coi.tributeri.much to the
independent representation of the metropolis of Ireland, having
at the same time sent his son and son. in-lew to represent two
Tory counties, should be passed by, seems strange to the
great majority of the liberal party, and to the Tories who have
felt this gentleman's adverse power. Many intelligent per-
sons, however, seem to think that honours to the gentlemen
mentioned, as well as to the other friends of Ireland and dis-
tinguished individuals, are not refused, but postponed. -111
addition to the names already given. I have heard those of the
Surgeon• General ,CraMpton, and More O'Ferral, as likely to
figure in the Gazette of hencurable promotions, as soon as a
fitting occasion for conferring further Royal favours, which it
is mid is not very remote, shall offer.
It is generally naderstoed here, that Ministers have had a
difficult card to play in this respect, on the Lite occasion ; the
number of expectants fer hoaour from a young and enlighe
tened Queen, being so very great; and that policy and prin-
ciple both combined, to postpone some of their best and most
stedfast friends. Such at least is the explanation given by thee
better informed friends of Government to those persons, who
think that Ireland has paramount claims at this mernent on the
present Cabinet, without at all comprorriiieg the sentiments of
her Majesty.
The " Coronation Sea" is still spoken of as the most novel
tied appropriate emblem of the late national ceremony. That
a young and virtuous Monarch, se beloved by her people,
should have the ratification of her vows to that people, com-
memorated by some extraordinary indiewion of the progress
of the arts in the nineteenth century, was desirable ; and the
effort you havee-nade, considering the great circulation of year
journal, is supposed to have realized the views of the friends
of improvement and civilization. lam told the number of
subscribers for your " golden opinions' is daily increaeing at
the Messrs. Johnson s in this city.

prudence will keep the rampant Ulster Orangemen within t'Ae
amale limits of the law. In various districts they have tken
indulging in their ancient insulting displays with almost undi-
mitished effrotitery. The twelfth, howeVer, is likely to pass
over more peaceably than the first—thanks to the measure,
taken by the Government. By a letter from it Mobaglians
correspondent, we learn that thirtem of the party who paradeil
their sun-burnt millinery thew upon the ist instant, were upon
Saturday taken into custoiy, and only liberated upon enteranz
into bail to take their trial at the next Assizes; among these
were two of the Montgomerys of Brssmount, men of con-
siderable property, one of the family being in the revised list
of Magistrates for the county. It is but too evident that pro,
ceedings after this fashion give the peace of society its only se-
curity against further disturbance.—Pilot.
