certain non-commissioned officers in the Provisional
Battalion under her ;Majesty's warrant of the 19th of
December, 1845. On this occasion the whole of the
depots forming the Provisional Battalion assembled
on the general parade ground, when Colonel Thomas
Weare, K.H., commandant of the battalion, advanced
in front of the line, and formed the troops into a
square, when he addressed the battalion, saying that
he had so formed them as to enable the non-commis-
sioned officers and privates to witness the presentation

IRELAND.
THE RELIEF TAXATION.

DUBLIN, SEPT. B.—A remarkable instance of the
localities afforded by the Relief Commissioners, in
lightening the burdens of the rate payers, has just
occurred on the electoral division of Rathgormac,
county of Waterford. At a meeting on Thursday
last, at which the Marquis of Waterford presided,
Mr. Gibbons, the Government inspector, read a letter
from the Relief Commissioners, the purport of which
was, that if any amount of voluntary subscriptions
was lodged with the treasurer of the finance com-
mittee of the union, the Commissioners were ready
to make a donation of an equal amount. He read
another letter which stated that the Commissioners
would not have the power of making any advances or
donations to relief committees after the 12th inst.
A resolution was passed—" That collectors be ap-
pointed in the several townlands to collect a fourth of
the 2s. Bd. rate made in the division for the out-doer
relief from the tenants, and that the landlords bP,
immediately requested to pay the other fourth, and
have the wt;')le lodged with the treasurer before the
7th instant, in order that the Government might pay
the o: her moiety."
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN said--I will pay the por-
tion of both landlord amd tenant on my -property of
nine townlanas in this division, and let the tenants
pay me th .ir portion when they will find it convenient
to come in 'with their rents.—(Cheers.)
E. ROBERTS, Esq.—l will do the same on the
Disney property in this division.
THOMAS NUGENT, Esq.—l will do the same on
my property.
Mr. EDMOND WALSH said that, as his landlord,
Mr. Hayman, of Youghal, lived at too great a dis-
tance to attend the meeting, he would pay half the
rate for his landlord and himself, as there was no
time to be lost. _ _ _

Several other tenants, whose landlords resided at
too great a distance to pay in time, stated that they
would follow the example of Edmond Walsh, and
settle withitheir landlords on the day of reckoning.
The Marquis, of WATERFORD—That is not right;
I think the tenant ought not to pay in the first in-
stance. We "bnve time enough to communicate with
any landlord l'esiding in Ireland. Let us do so; and
if they refuse or neglect to pay, then of course- the
poor tenants :must.
If the extunple of Lord Waterford were followed
by other proprietors, we should hear little about the
" ruinous to ration," or the " repudiation" of the debts
of the union

PROPOSED MEETING OF IRISH MEMBERS.
Mr. John O'Connell has addressed the following
note to the Freeman's Journal :

" Sept. 7, 1847.
" Dear Sir,—The Conciliation Hall M.P.'s, who
may choose to meet next Friday, will do so,*as I un-
derstand, for the simple and single purpose of devising
the best means of inviting the other Irish Members
to come together next term, in Dublin, in the Na-
tional Council.' If our invitation be unheeded, we at
least can then meet and advise together.—l am, dear
sir, your faithful servant,
" JOHN O'CONNELL."
