IRELAND.

MUNICIPAL REFORM MEETING.
A requisition for a public meeting is now in progress
of bring signed ; it is to the follotvingeffect
We, the undersigned citizens of Dublin, havinglearned
that it is proposed to withhold from Ireland the advantages
of popular municipal government constituted on the same
principles already adopted in England and Scotland, and
considering such a measure unjust—injurious to popular
rights—offensive to the nation, and calculated to put in
peril that harmony that ought ever to subsist between the
Irish and British peOple, request a public meeting of our
fellow-citizens to petition the House of Commons to pass no law which will admi.. or in any degree -countenance, the
principle that Ireland shall not have the same free institu-
tions which are enjoyed by Great Britain."
DE. SA/sums' APPOINTMENT.—On Tuesday last, there
was an extraordinary general meeting of the Dublin Li- '
brary, to take into consideration the propriety of presenting
a congratulatory address to the Rev. Mr. Sandes, one of the
Vice-Presidents of the Library, on his elevation to the
Episcopacy. The Address was unanimously carried.
There has been a violent affray between the
privates of
the 14th Light Dragoons and the Watchmen of Dundalk.
DEPUTATION IN CARLOW--We extract the subjoined
passage from the last letter of the_ Rev. Mr. Maher, who is
resident on the spot where the suffering he describes exists.
To sum up all in a few words, says the writer-
-12 Families ejected within the last two years 74 5 Noticed to quit
22
22 Electors allowing six to each family

22P,
It is impossible to estimate the extent and intensity of
. the sufferings which these 228 individuals, on one small
estate, have endured within the short period of two
years. "Oh ! it is monstrous ; it is a cryi.,e, sin--a that might bring down the vengeance
or power, sin
n a nation—that landlords shouldhave as
in
Carlow and other places, of sendi:,g the wretched occu-
piers of the acre to starve, The oppion of peopie in this county has very nearly passedress the li the
mit of
human endurance, Thp, cup of hiaerness is filled
.to.ov-e—
-flowing. Tbe landbtd, churchman, and attorney, wiited'
tozetner in' an 11,:linly nave surely tried the pe.,2s
patience. 3pl
Acting upon the advice of that clergyman (the
Ray. Mr. Beresford) they not only assert their tight to
rent r..,nd tithe, but they seek the expulsion of the peasantry
from the lands of their birth—lands which they cultivated
before their oppressors had a single acre in the cointry." .
Mit. O'CONNELL AND KILKENNY.—In Mr. O'Connell's
address to the electors of Kilkenny, he says, " I pledge
myself to give my cordial support to Lord
Nlelhourne's
Government, so long as it continues its present honest
course of policy towards Ireland. It deserves that support,
as being the only British G-overnment that ever acted
honestly to the people of Ireland. I pledge myself to vote
upon every occasion, as a thorough Radical Reformer. I
pledge myself to use every constitutional exertion in my
power to complete the Reform of Parliament, amoagst
other things, by introducing the principles of election and
res,,onsibility in the House of Lords. Until there is a
Reform in the House of Lords, it is impossible to have
justice done to Ireland."
