POOR LAWS FOR IRELAND On Tuesday, pursuant to
I Very
numerously signed requisition addressed to the Lord
Mayor of Dublin, requesting him to call a meeting for the
Purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of peti-
thming Parliament for a legal provision for the poor, and
with which requisition his Lordship immediately complied,
a meeting, comprised of the citizens of Dublin of all reli-
gious and political opinions, and a good number of the landed
gentry of the neighbouring counties, was held at the, Royal
t
Exchange.
'The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was called. o the Chair. The speeches extend to a length so con-
siderable, as to preclude the possibility of furnishing here
even an epitome of them, that should convey a correct re-
Presentation of the several speakers' views.
AFFAIR or HONOUR.—On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas Rey;
n..olds and Mr. Michael Murphy were held to bail to keep
the peace, in their personal recof.r,nizances of 500/. each, by
Counsellor Hamilton of the Head Police-office. It appeared
that in the course of a discussion at the Central Registra-
tion Club on the preceding evening, some rather warm ob-
aerrations passed between these gentlemen, when several
members of the club, apprehending that the misunderstand-
ing might terminate in a duel, informations were given at
the Head Police-office, in consequence of which the parties
were taken into custody by the police, and obliged to enter
Into securities to the above-mentioned amount.
EXTERMINATION IN CARLOW.—It appears by the peti-
tion of certain landholders of the barony of Idrone West,
that the most damnable conspiracy in modern times was
entered into against the.very lives of their Catholic tenantry,
by some of the Carlow landlords. We well knew the
misery they created, and the desolation they caused in once
haPPy families—but that they entered into a confederacy—a
cold, calenlating, oath-bound confederacy, to extirpate one
Class of their fellow men, because they dared to exercise the
elective franchise constitutionally—such deliberate and de-
moniac cruelty we were tnnvilling to attribute to any class
of men, even to the Carlow lamilords.—Freenian.

ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY.—At the last meeting of the
Society,. Sir Robert Shaw, Bart., presided. Upwards of
one hundred members attended. They agreed upon a me-
Morial to the Lord Lieutenant, which, if differing in many
respects from the propositions of his Excellency, at least
displays a spirit widely dissimilar from that which pervaded
its first proceedings. They state that if his ExcellenCy
should desire the appointment of another deputation, to do
that which the last so strangely concluded they had not
Power to do, the desire shall be most readily acquiesced in,
stating further, " that 'in the consideration of any proposi-
tions tending to increase the efficiency of the Society as a
practical and scientific Institution, they entertain every dis-
position to co-operate with his Excellency in that fair and
candid spirit which, in the performance of a public duty,
they concur with him in thinking lie has a right to expect
from the Society." In evidence to their practical utility as
a body, they refer to their Botanic Garden, Library, Mu-
seum, &c. They disclaim the influence of political feeling
amongst them as a body ; and appeal to the fact that in the
course of the last thirty-four years, only four candidates for
admission have been rejected. While, therefore, they do
not deem it advisable to alter the mode of election in con-
formity with his Excellency's proposition, they are willing
to modify the ext's,sg by-law to this extent—" that no in-
dividual shall be exclucL'd, notwithstanding one-third of the
Members present shall have :,-2ted for his rejection, unless
at least thirty members shall vote against his admission."
The Proposal to give to members the 0,-:!-Ion of an annual
PauYnient, in lieu of a life subscription, is objected to. The
Memorial thus winds up :—" Your memorialists therefore
'l.trust, that his Majesty's Government will be pleased to re-
c?lnroend to Parliament the usual annual grant, as the
Society have contracted liabilities with their Professors and
'Ricers on the faith of its continuance."—Register.
°IIANGE LOYALTY.—We saw that the loyal Orangemen
of Belfast district lately resolved, that they would not obey
the command of the King, but would wait to learn the
Will of the Grand Lodge. We observe that this species of
tlgr a n t disloyalty has been manifested in various other
quarters. " The Enniskillen District Lodge"' held a
ineeting on the 21st instant, at which, after expressing
their " heartfelt indignation at the base and anti-Pro-
testant conduct of the present Ministry," and speaking
of their " devoted principles of loyalty, and undeviating
attachment to the King," they resolve as follows
We are, however, determined to meet as usual in our
,
dge-rooms, until we learn the decision to which tho
17rand Lodge of Ireland shall come, on the 14th of April,
Which alone we are resolved to be swayed." This, we
suPpose, they mean as evidence of their loyalty and " un.
deviating attachment to their King." They are the most
of men—quite conspicuous for loyalty ; but though
I,theCommons have resolved, and the King has commanded,
both Ring and Commons may go to the —, for they are " re-
solved to be swayed by the Grand Lodge alone!" Such is the
determination of the loyal Enniskilleners. The Grand
,Lodge of Cavan, in conclave met, have determined that
before the meeting of the Grand Lodge, they can'come to no
determination, " save that of remaining together, in the.
mean time, united in brotherly love, as members of the
Orange Society ;" and the brave boys of Roscrea, with a
spirit which would do honour to them, if they were not in
rebellion against the King. have resolved—" That, repos-
ing the utmost confidence in the wisdom, discretion, and
incorruptible fidelity of the Grand Committee, we cheer-
fully respond to the heart-stirring appeal of No surren-
der,' and will rally under our unsullied banner at the usual
times, until suppressed by a legal enactment, or instructed
to suspend our meeting by the Grand Lodge of Ireland,
duly assembled." The Grand Lodge of Fermanagh have
resolved, that, " in accordance with the feelings of loyalty
to our Sovereign, &c , We do not feel ourselves competent
to adopt any decisive steps, until after the meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Ireland." This is all tolerably well in the
way of loyalty ; but it is perfect tameness when compared
With the " No surrender" heroes of Armagh. " At a
meeting of the Loyal Orange Association of the district of
Armagh, held at Armagh on the 18th instant,,, as we are
Officially informed, " Brother John Kitson, District Mas-
ter, in the Chair," it was unanimously resolved, " that there
__never was a period that we are more imperatively called
upon to stand forward in the avowed name of Orangemen,
and. We are determined to do so." After this outrage
,!alast loyalty, in language which proves the gross illite-
rate barbarism of the Orange Association of Armagh, the.
w_rue high powers resolve—" That we hereby declare, that

_Correspondent in Newtownlimivady states, that on

4z3r_n_ding neighbourhood came into that town to meet their
grange brethren, who were returning in triumph from the

ceis, with drums, &c., and shouting " 'To hell with the

Mn. BUCKINGIIAM.—Justice and gratitude alike require
that the public should afford that redress for unmerited op-
pression, which has been refused by their representatives.
The object of Mr. Buckingham's friends, is to purchase an
annuity for his life, and that of his wife ; most earnestly do
we wish the all the success which their philanthropic in-
titintions merit.—Wateiford Chronicle.

THE CORPORATION.— A meeting of the Common-
Council took place on Monday, when resolutions were
adopted with a view to getting compensation, &e., by the
old Corporators.
REBELLION.—That the twopenny Writ of Rebellion was
not a hoax—a grave and deliberate satire upon the sys-
tem, as many were forced to believe, Mr. Browne's letter
will prove. No blame, of course, after this letter, can at-
tach to Mr. Brabazon Browne. But better it had been,
it' he had not volunteered a defence for his principal. If
the defaulter, an humble farmer, be without excuse for the
non-payment of 2d.—not justly, although legally due—how
much the more is a Noble of the land (Lord Westmeath) to
be condemned, when, for the recovery of such an amount, he
puts that awful machinery in operation which is calculated
to produce a rebellion far other than such as has its exis-
tence in a legal fiction.—Register.
CORPORATION OF CAVAN.—Considerable anxiety and
much disappointment has been felt at Cavan, that its Cor-
poration did not appear in the -schedule of the new Munici-
pal Bill. To whatever cause this omission is attributable,
whether owing to the Report of the Commissioners, or to
want of adequate information, nothing can be possibly more
unjust than to have passed over a borough, important with
reference to the extent and value of its property, the num-
ber of its population (4,000 souls), and by being the assizes
town of the county.—Dublin Evening Post.
The weather is more boisterous, than it has been in any,
the most inclement March, ever. known.
Up to Thursday evening, the glorious result of the dis-
cussion on the Municipal Reform Bill was unknown in
Dublin..

Total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks is, it ap-
pears, much the fashion in the neighbourhood of Cork.
The Herald of that city contains lengthened reports of
temperance meetings. In the advocacy of temperance we
are as zealous as any men can possibly be, but we suspect
that the instances of total abstinence are very few, either
in Cork or elsewhere.

The Irish press continues to fulminate its most vehement
censures against an assimilation orduty. The equalization,
they contend, is most unequal.
THE CONSTABULARY.—CoIoneI Shaw Kennedy, who is
to be Inspector-General of the Police of Ireland, under
the new Constabulary Bill, arrived in the city on Saturday,
and remained until Monday evening, when he proceeded to
Waterford en route to Cork. During his stay in Kilkenny,
he was engaged with Mr. Tuckey, our Sub-Inspector of
Police, on business connected with the management of the
constabulary force.—Kilhenny Moderator.
MURDER.—Two policemen are committed to Clonmel
gaol, for shooting a countryman near Thurles.
