REVIEW OF THE HON. ARTIL-

LERY COMPANY BY PRINCE ALBERT.
Ilis Royal Ilighness, Colonel of the Honourable Ar
tilery Company, Whose origin dates so far into the past
as the reign of henry VIII., who was their'first colonel,
and who have done so much good since to the City dur-
ing periods of commotion, having some time ago inti-
mated that it would give him great pleasure on a future
day to 'review the ancient, ever loyal, and honourable
cods, yesterday was fixed upon, and notwithstanding
the drizzling rain that fell at intervals during the greater
part of the morning, and the lowering aspect of the,
heavens, a large number of ladies and gentlemen were
present in the armoury and ground attached some time
before eleven o'clock. The different companies us .
sembled by ten, and went through various evolutions
until nearly twelve o'clock, notwithstanding the frequent
drerching showers that fell. The Prince had
stated that he would be on the ground by twelve
o'clock, but shortly after that hour a spacial
messenger brought a communication from time
Prince, to Licut.-Col. Fitzroy suggesting, as the weather
was not likely to clear 'up, that the review should be put
off until to-morrow; but at the same time intimating that
notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather,
he should feel happy to review the corps that day, if it
was th,dr wish that he should do so. The Lieut.-Colo-
nel, the weather blearing up, sent off a messenger to the
Prince, stating that tho corps was under arms, and a<
the weather was likely to turn out fine, that they would
b.t glad if his Royal Highness could come down. His
Royal Highness, who was Much cheered, arrived at half-
past one o'clock. He entered the east gate in one Of the
royal carriages, lied was accompanied by Colonel C.
2
B. Phipps and Lieut.-Colonel Seymour. A royal Salute
of 1 rounds from
two six-pounder guns was fired on
his arrival in a way that Would have done credit
tithe regular artillery. On the salute being fired, hi,
Royal' Highness entered the parade-ground on horse-
blek, and was ,received by Lieut.-Colonel the Hpn U.
Fitzroy, M.P., Major Barnard, Adjutant Homey, an,'
Acting Adjutant Snell, the coMpanies tieing drawn up
in line under their respective isfliceri. His Royal High.
ness, with the staff, then rode down the line and up the
rear, minutely inspecting the men and their appoint-
ments, with Which Prince Albert appeared greatly
pleased. His Royal Highness then took up a position
at the flag-staff, and the companies, after marching
past at slow and quick time, went through the pla-
toon exercises under the command of Major Barnard.
Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzroy then assumed the -com-
mand, and the Companies went through their various
evolutions in a highly creditable manner, moving.
in sub-division and double columns of sub-divi-
sions, and firing 'by companies from centre to flank,
then by companies and by volleys from the whole line.
Advancing then by open column of companies, the),
formed a square, the front rank kneeling when firing.
After various other mancouvres they formed in line, and,
the officers were called forward and addressed by his
Royal" Highness in very flattering terms on the excel
lent appearance of the corps, and the admirable manner
in which they..adyanccd. in line, deployed, and marched
past in columns., Jljs Royal Highness afterwards in-
spected those recently joined No. 7 and 8 companies;
who were put through the platoon exercises by Ser-
geant-Major Rude, of the Coldstream Guards, and the
Prince expressed himself much pleased with.their pro-

gress.
On leaving the parade "ground his Royal Highness en-
tered the armoury and remained some time, and on en-
terir.g the royal carriage the whole of the companies
drawn up as a guard of honour saluted the Prince, the
band playing the National Anthem. His Royal High.
ness stated to Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzroy that he hoped
they would keep up their drills during the winter, and
next spring, when he reviewed them again, he had no
doubt they would show a vastly increased number, and
prove a most efficient corps, as their exercises and evolu-
tions gave him great satisfaction
During one of the brief storms to which we have re•
ferred one of the attendants of the Prince galloped into
the ground with his cloak, but he declined to wear it.
He turned his back to the pelting rain, and with his
equerries quietly waited until it ceased. ,
Altogether the display, looking at it in the minor
light of an exhibition, was one of the most interesting
we have ever attended; but in the higher aspect of a
body concentrated-in the very heart of the City, and
ready at a brief. notice to turn out and protect it from
external or- inrernal assailants, the sight was truly a
national one, And therefore most gratifying to the lovers
of peace and orders • '

IRELAND.

THE PROCLAAIATIONS.

DUBLIN,. (Toth 19.—The novelty of the walls of
the Irish metropOlis being covered over with procla•
mations placing the' city under the provisions of the
Crime and Outrage Act, attracted immense crowds to
the streets last night, and DaMe-street and the ap-
proaches to the Castle were rendered almost im-
passable by, the pressure of the throng which con-
tinued to patrol the town until a very late hour.
There was not, however, the slightest attempt at
disturbance—a marked silence pervading the manses
as they moved to and fro or stopped to read the
official notification'•from the Privy Council.. There
were -:meetings of all the• clubs held in the course
,of the evening.; 'and sever 4 of the, • leaders
Of, the Confederation were 'observed" post-
in hot speed froM one • lbdge-room to
mother, to hold conniel; it is supposed, as to what
"nest-step" in advance should be taken to foil the
Government 'its •onviarel policy. The meeting to •
night of the Irish League will prohably develop the
nature of the clubs' dejiberations. A very crowded
.an it
attendance i 3 anticipated, d is said thot no less
than 2,000 new members' will be admitted. A de-
putation from the Kilkenny Repeaters .has arrived
in Dublin tor the purpose of taking a part in the
proceedings. • . • • . N
LORD CLARENDON'S visrr TO LONDON..
The Banshee Government steamer was actually
coasting at Kingstown to' convey his Excellency to
Liverpool' when a 'counter order was 'received, and
she was ordered to proceed to sea in ordinary course.
Lord Clarendon, it appears, has wisely deferred his
departure from the • seat:, of government at this
peculiar crisis -of- the-country's-affairs. His absence
just now would ,be .a, serious drawback to the

. .
moveTfnt, in progrTss for, the repression of treason.
This is not tfie time to entrust the fate of a kingdom
to the keeping of howeier eminent in
their profession;-niqontinissioners-of police, however
discreet in the exeroise of their powers.
MORE ARRESTS. FOR.• SEDITION.
A second .edition- of yesterday's Cork Reporter
announces that three of the leading Confederates of.
that city, naively, Meisrs. Varian, 5; W. Bourke,,
and John O'Brien, wife— arrested at half-past two
o'clock that day, oninformations charging them with
'having,
" Oa the 2d of July, :at ,Crossbarry, wantonly, mall;
ciously, .and seditiously, in
_presence of divers persons,
subjects of our Lady the 'Queen, 'publicly uttered off,
tain seditious words against the Government- of • our'said
Lady the Queen, contrary to the laws and censtitution
of the, , . •
:The offence being, only a misdemeanour the parties
were admitted to bail. The Reporter adds
The bail bond' having• been perfected,- all the gen-
.tletion'left the office and were received outside by a
vast concourse of people, who cheered them vehe-
mently:, They immediately proceeded to the 'Citizens'
Club-room where Mr. Varian addressed the people at
great length ; 'after Which.' he and .the other gentlemen
were escorted. _home by,several gentlemen in procession,
surrounded by
,wvast crowd of ardent and enthusiastic
admirers. During the course of the proceedings at the
police-office,' the- crowd -Outside exhibited the greatest
excitement,.and were se'veral,times on the point of rush-
ing on the, police and:- entering into personal collision
with them. One man, at whose breast one of the con-
stabulary presented his bayonet, seized it, and was
endeavouring to wrest it from him, when some of the
constabulary came to their comrade's assistance. • Tho
Mayor continued in the street endeavouring to appease
the crowd, and on several occasions reproved the police
for their unnecessary violence."
There are no further authentic accounts to-day of
the proceedings connected with the arrest and alleged
rescue of the Rev. Mr. , Byrne by the Repeaters of
Carrick-on-Suir. It is said, however, that there was
no rescue at all, Mr. Byrne having been released on

bail.
Kilkenny was the scene of considerable excitement
on Monday, owing to an unfounded report having
got abroad that a ;:warrant had -been issued
for the arrest of -Dr. Cane, the popular leader of the
Confederates in that-city. The people) assembled in
great numbers with a view of pteventing the warrant
being put into execution; "barricades" were thrown
Up at one or two points, and it was not until Ein
surance had been given that the report was a fabrica-
tiOn that the populace desisted from hostile demon-
strations. A man of semi-military appearance, who
mixed in the crowd, And ;advised the mob not to let
Dr. Cane ; quit, the , was mistaken 'for .a de-
tective, and only eSeitise-cl7Shminery vengeance through

MR, JOHN. O'CONNELL.

The following resolutions were adopted by one of
the Cork Clubs—that of Bantry:—
"That the Government arrests which have taken
place within the last :few days have not disheartened,
but, on the contrary, have stimulated us to renewed
action in the holy cause in which wo aro now engaged ;
and that our abhorrence of the Government proceedings
can only be equalled by our unalterable determination
never to cease our exertions until Ireland is exalted,

purified, and redeemed.
" That we have read, with mingled feelings of sur-
prise and indignation, a repetition of Mr. John O'Con•
nell's unwise but futile attempts to perpetuate those
unholy dissensions which have rendered every
previous effort to shake off the hated yoke of Eng-
lish dominion abortive and contemptibly, and our
country a byword among the nations. That
as Ireland expects integrity, and will not tolerate
any longer, dissembling, or trifling (come from whom it
may) on this vital and all-important subject of union,
we would for the last time urge upon Mr. John O'Con-
nell the,folly—nay, the criminality, of a longer post-
ponement of the dissolution of what was once the Re-
peal AssociatiOn; and in case that gentleman still con-
tinues to persevere in his non-compliance with the oft-
repeated demands of the Irish people, we would earnestly
entreat of some honest man in that body to lose no time
in dissolving the association sine die.
" That as Mr. John O'Connell's (in our opinion) over-
sensitive scruples will not permit him to join the Irish
Leagued we would suggest to him the wisdom and pro-
priety of a retirement for the present from the move-
ment, and for that purpose we would advise a recrea-
tion of some months among his native mountains;
that as he, in conjunction with certain other noble and
respectable Irishmen, seems very desirous for the dis-
solution or suppression (it is all one thing) of the lately
established clubs (which it appears are totally opposed
to the views and wishes of that gentleman anti the pre-
sent paternal Government), we, as one of those, clubs,
beg respectfully, but determinedly, to assure Mr.
John O'Connell and the English Government that we
will never, so long as one man is left us, dissolve this
club, until our country resumes her rightful position as
a frt. o. nation.
" That our secretary bo requested to convey these our
fixed and unchangeable opinions to the secretary of Con •
ciliation-hall, and also to forward them to the pre
