IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
DUBLIN, JUNE 29. Her Majesty and her Royal
Consort intend to visit this country early in the ensuing
autumn. At present no day is named, but the royal
party will probably arrive in this city about the second
week in August. An official communication has been
received by the secretary of one of the yacht clubs in
Kingstown, announcing that her Majesty has been
pleased to make an annual grant of 100 guineas for a
cup to be run for at the Kingstown Regatta. Ilor Ma-
jesty expresses an apprehension that she cannot be in
Ireland in time to be present at the regatta.
Lord Miltown, in reply to the circular inviting him to
join the Irish League, has sent the following answer:—
" Morrison's Hotel, Monday.
"Sir,—l intended this day to have given a verbal ex-
planation of my opinion of your circular containing the
proposed terms' for a reunion of Repeaters, received
by me last Friday. Finding the meeting of the Loyal
National Repeal Association has been postponed, I beg
to offer the following hurried remarks.
"No one can be more convinced than I am of th
mischief caused by our divisions. 'Tis this that ha
made Ireland a wretched, neglected, and misgovernd
province; it is the perfect union—a real love of counts.
—that exists among the people, that has rendered &e-
-land a happy, prosperous, and respected country. But,
in seeking to promote:: this so-much-rtquired union
among all classes, we should be careful not to adept a
line of conduct, or profess principles, that would wid en,
not heal the breach that at present exists, and foree a
large and influential body of our countrymen, in self-
defence, to array themselves against us ; and
this, I have no hesitation in saying, the for-
mation of the proposed new society, without
explanation and amendment of the rules, wouldifcause
When I first joined the Repeal Association of.
Ireland, I thought, and still think, that the body called
Young Ireland had been badly treated—that, as an ab-
stract principle, there were circumstances that might
render a recurrence to physical force both legal and
necessary, whether on the part of individuals or of
nations, but that these were, protecting the rights we
possess, not regaining what was no longer ours, tie mat-
ter how unjustly we might have been deprived of them—
I said that, in many respects, I agreed with them that
Conciliation-hall had too often been made the stepping-
stone to place and profit ; and I also thought, and still
think, that too much stress was laid on the collection of
money from an impoverished and confiding people, for
as to carrying the repeal by the mere levies of rent, I
look on it as absurd as the idea of vanquishing the power
of mighty England in the battlefied, with the pike
(Queen of weapons fur the King of fools), or the brown
barrels which, we are told in a late publication, are
hidden in great numbers in the ditch sides (and in such
an armoury brown enough they must be). I thought,
therefore, there were faults on both sides—and that to
bring the moral force of a united people to bear on
the cause, concessions must be made by both. Since
then, however, many connected with the confe-
derates have declared, both in their speeches and
writings, that it is not repeal, but revolution—not the
restoration of our native Parliament, but the establish-
ment of a Republic—that they seek; nay, one writer in
a new publication (that well deserves its name) declares
that nothing but a general notice to quit served on the
landlords, a new division of the laud, and, in fact, as
Lull a scheme of confiscation and communism as could
be well devised, will satisfy him. Now, sir, are we to
admit men professing such doctrines into our loyal,
legal, and constitutional association? Are we to delude
our loyal people into the belief that such phrases as
calling our beloved Queen " a mere block of a gilded
symbol" has our approbation, or is sanctioned by us, or
would be by their clergy? Are we to outrage the vast
body of proprietors of land (for small holders as well as
large are equally threatened with confiscation, and " all
titles to land to be declared invalid if not held directly
from the people")—are we, I say, tacitly to sanction a
scheme by which the very bonds of society would be
rent asunder by forming a society under rules by which
men advocating such sentiments could, without in-
fringing them, become members. I have been car-
ried by the subject to far greater length than I intended
when I commenced; let me briefly conclude by stating_
on wh it grounds I can belong to the new body. I have
no objection to the name—let it be the Irish League for
the attainment of the legislative independence of Ireland
—but we should add, by legal and constitutional means.'
And first of ail, and above all, the society and all its
members should be pledged to undeviating attachment,
loyalty, and obedience, to our Gracious Sovereign. The
other rules I do not object to, with the exception of the
fifth, as I conceive a popular body of the kind should be
directed by a committee, not self-elected, like the present
ones, but chosen by the whole body, on a principle that
I hope one day to see carried out on a larger scale,
vote by ballot.' On such, and such conditions only, can
I belong to the proposed society, or do I conceive it can
safely be constructed. By thus giving my opinion, I
feel 1 may offend both parties; but I have the consolation
of knowing I have but one object in view, the prosperity
of nay native land, and the happiness and safety of my
countrymen.—Your obedient servant,
" T. M. Ray, Esq."

~ MILTOWN.

ASTURIAN MINING COMPANY.
A general meeting of this company was held yesterday
Lt their offices, No. 9, Austin-friars; Mr. Pratt in th©
chair.

The report stated that the mines had been brought
into active operation, that a situation about twelve miles
to the north of Oviedo was favourable in a commercial
point of view, but the mine on which Mr. Manby,
the manager in Spain, depended had proved altogether
useless. and it was necessary to obtain fresh concessions
from the Spanish Government before they could break
fresh ground. Then, in addition to these drawbacks,
immediately on the arrival of the machinery necessary
for carrying on the works, a duty of 25 to 30 per cent.
had been laid upon it by tl,e Spanish Government, and
the petition for its removal remained altogether unnoticed
for between eight and nine months. Ultimately this
difficulty was nemovrd, and Mr. Lambert having been
appointed successor to Mr. Manby, the new ground had
been taken up. and already upwards of 250 tons of pig-
iron had been made, and the only blast furnace now
in operation is weekly producing 70 tons of ,iron. Th.
ore produced scenes to be an amalgam of iron, mercury,
sulphur, and ars,,nie, and during the last few months up-
wards of 5,0001. worth of mercury had been prod.u6cl
by distillation, and sold to the Spanish Governmi2nt.
The mines had, however, suffered a great interruption
from the proceedings of the alcalde of the village, who, in
consequence of the death of a man employed in the
works, which was occasioned by the large quantity
of arsenic combined with the mercury, suspen ;led
the works for a long period. An action for his conduct
has been commenced in Spain, and a verdict is likely to
be obtained in favour of the company. The directors
regretted their inability to declare a dividend at present,
but the prospects of the company justified the expecta-
tion that this evil will soon be remedied. The balance-
sheet showed the expenses and cost of the mines to be
153,3341. 14s. 9d.. and the credits of property on hand
and from other sources about 17,0001. short of this
amount.

To several inquiries,
Mr. SCALES, one of the directors, replied that the iron
produced in Spain was made at the rate of 31. 108. a
ton, whilst that produced in Staffordshire costs, at. the
lowest estimate, 71. a ton.
To the inquiries of other shareholders,
The CHAIRMAN replied that there were now more than
600 tons of ore upon the surface, which, at the lowest
rate, is worth 12,000/.
Mr. IlEmiNc, one of the directors, who had made a
scientific analysis of the ore, believed that it was worth
close upon 00,0004 as much of the ore had already been
sold at 20/ a ton.
To some observations of Mr. BURTON, complaining of
the non-election of a member of the body of directors,
The CHAIRMAN replied, that having been himself in
Spain, and having become personally acquainted with the
dtthhtoeatbiot
Spaina wasd

tons a year, and this supply was sure
to be superseded by
that from the company's mines, so that there must be
an agent there to transact the business. Mr. Colquhoun is
now at the mines, and Colonel Stopford is at Madrid, to
secure the interests of the company.
After some discussion of the statement of the ac-
counts, Mr. A, Wilson, the retiring director, was re-
elected, and thanks having
been voted to the Chairman,
the meeting separated.

13011E11 EXPLOSION. DUDLEY, FRIDAY. -- An-
other boiler explosion of a frightful and fatal character
occurred in the neighbourhood of this town last night.
The scene of the calamity was the Bloomfield works
(Messrs. Barrows and Hall) at Tipton. One end, it
appears, from some cause or other yet to be explained,
gave way, forcing the boiler (which was about seven
tons weight) with considerable violence across the canal
into Mr. Round's brick-yard, a distance of upwards of
one hundred yards. One man was killed, and, as far as
yet ascertained, ten others more or less seriously injured.
Fortunately the two mills were not at work at the time

has been convened by M. Rogier, for the. purpose of

M. Rogier appear by these accounts to have been well
received; the more so, perhaps, as agriculture suffers at
the present moment as severely as any other interest
from the general pressure of the times.
