" It is as remote from his Excellency's intention as from the
spirit of the Act, to punish, or to disgrace, any part of Ireland,
to which this law has been, or may be, applied : and, consider-
ing the extension of the law throughout Ireland to be conform-
able to the great objects 'contemplated by the wisdom of the
Legislature, and to be essential to the maintenance of a ge-
neral and uniform system of good order in Ireland, the Lord
Lient.mant trusts, that the-respectable Magistrates, who have
signed this Memorial, will co-operate in aiding his Majesty's
Government to establish in the county of Down a regulation al-
ready in force, with such beneficial effect, throughout the
greater portion of Ireland.

" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your most obedient

humble servant,

" HENRY GOULBURN.

" To the Marquis of Devonshire, &c..&c."
After the reading of the foregoing Letter, which, of course,
was decisive of the subject,

Tviajor D'Arcy, Inspector of Police of the province of Ulster,
submitted his proposed allocation of the Police Establishment
over the county, n-inde out by himself without reference to- any
Magistrate, which was generally approved and accordingly
adopted.

It appears that a tax of I id,per acre will defray the whole L
pence. But, when it is considered that forfeited recognizances
Will now, instead of being paid into the Treasury, he applied
tcwarda paying the police, and that the expence of the present
constables ceases, the cess may be calculated at still less than-
what, we have stated. As many of the present .barony con_
stables as can read and write, are of good character, and within
the age, will be-continued on the nek -Police Establishment.
Lord Roden hating taken the Chair, d vote of thanks to the
:Coble Marquis was passed, and the Meeting dissolved......(Newry

CONSTABULARY AOT.--On Wednesday, the
'24th instant, the adjourned Meeting of the Ma-
gistrates took place at Downpatrick-47 present.
The Marquis of Downshire was called to the
Chair at one o'clock, and proceeded to read Mr.
Goulburn's reply to a remonstrance signed by a
number of the Magistrates at their first Meeting,
relative to the appointment of a Constabulary
Force. The following is the reply :

" MT LORD—I have received the Lord Lieutenant's com-
mands to acknowledge the receipt ,of the memorial which your
Lordship has done me the honour of transmitting to me, ex-
pressing, for the reasons therein stated, the opinion of the
Magistrates, whose signatures it bears, that it is not advisable
to extend to the county of Down the operation of the Act passed
in the third year of his Majesty, 'for the appointment of Con-
stables in Ireland, and requesting his Excellency to reconsider
the decision which he had announced by Proclamation of ap_

plying it to the county.
" The Lord Lieutenant apprehends that the Magistrates
have much misunderstood the nature and objects of the law,
from the operation of which they seek to be e-•-empted. f
That Act was neither intended, nor is it calculated, to in-
flict punishment of any 'description on those districts to which
it may be applied. Where disturbances had prevailed, the
principal aim of the Act was, to afford to the Magistracy
the means of restoring and preserving public tranquillity by
a due enforcement of the ordinary administration of justice
and law.

" In districts, which had been free from disturbances, the
application of the Act was intended to secure the continuance
of peace and good order, by the same salutary means.
" The Act has been applied to many districts not less free
from disturbance than the county of Down; and the Magis-
trates of these districts have amply acknowledged its advan-
tages, after full experience of its operation.
" The state of the county of Down, therefore, does not form
an exception to the general policy of extending the provisions
of the Act to that county.
