IRELAND

A public dinner was mooted on the part of the county and
city of Limerick, but the trades having previously suggested
the soiree, with a view of bringing it within the reach of the
masses, and this having met the approbation of Mr. O'Brien,
the assembled citizens concurred in the arrangements, leaving
the invitation to a dinner to some future day.
A committee was then appointed, consisting of some of the
gentlemen present, and of the masters and wardens of the
trades, for the purpose of carrying forward the arrangements,
and of communicating with the several leading persons, both
priests and people, in this county and the counties of Clare,
Tipperary, &c., informing them of the intended demonstra.
tion, with a view of their making the necessary preparations
for this grand national display.
MURDER OF MR. CLARKE. •
The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment yesterday ;
overruled the objections taken by counsel for Rice and
Fogarty, found guilty at the late assizes for Tipperary of the
murder of the late Patrick Clarke. On the application of
the Attorney-General an order was directed to be issued to
the High Sheriff of Tipperary, commanding him to have
the sentence of death passed on the prisoners carried into
execution.

EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF THE SQUADRON AT CORK.—The
Cork Examiner states that the steam-frigate Gladiator put
into Cork on Tuesday, and reports having left the squadron
of evolution on Friday last 150 miles south-west of Cape
Clear. The squadron will, it is expected, reach Cove about
the latter end of the week.

MEETING OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL—A Privy Council was
held yesterday, at the Council Chamber, Dublin Castle,
when a form of prayer and thanksgiving for the safe de •
livery of her Majesty was ordered to be prepared by the
Archbishops and Bishops now in town. On Sunday next
the prayer will be used in all the churches and chapels
throughout Ireland.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The provincial journals
give the most favourable accounts of the present state and
prospects of the crops. Should the present delightful weather
continue, we shall have the earliest and most abundant po-
tatoe crop on record.

ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE CHARITY CHILDREN
ATIST. PAUL'S.—On Thursday the anniversary meeting of the
children connected with the metropolitan and suburban
charity schools, took place at St. Paul's. The usual prepa-
rations were made for the children, some thousands of whom
were present. In the immediate neighbourhood of the pulpit
were their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge and Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Westminster and the Ladies Grosvenor,
Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lady Stratford Canning
and family, Sir Stephen Lushington and family, the Lord
Bishop ofLlandaff, the Lord Bishop of Worcester, the Lord
Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Lord Bishop of Jamaica, &c.
The proceedings commenced by the singing of the 100th
Psalm (the old verson) by the children. Full choral service
was performed, the prayers being chaunted by the Rev. H.
J. Knapp, D.D. The reading psalms were chaunted by the
gentlemen of the choir, the children joining with good effect
in the " Gloria Petri" to each. The sermon was preached
by the Lord Bishop of Worcester, from the 13th chapter of
St. Mathew, verse 38. His Lordship made an eloquent
appeal on behalf of the association schools, which was
responded to by a liberal collection. The vast assemblage
then dispersed.
CLERGY ORPHAN Scrroom.—Thursday the annual
examination of the male and female pupils educated in the
above school took place at the establishment, St. John's
Wood, his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the presi-
dent, in the chair, supported by the Right Rev. the Bishops
of London and Bangor; the Rev. Drs. Russell, Shepherd,
and Vivian ; the Rev. J. E. Tyler, Sir R. 11. Inglis, Bart.,

acquitted themselves in a manner which drew forth the
highest commendations from his Grace and the reverend
prelates. The boys, in addition to the above, also gave proofs
of their proficiency in Greek. The master's divinity prize
(the Bishop of Oxford's History of the American Church)
was awarded to Master E. L. Beckwith. Testimonials of
honour were also given to Masters F. Wilson and F. Lee.
His Grace, in making the presentations, observed, that he

DUBLIN, JUNI 3.—The trades of Limerick are so ena-
hwimithtoMantSrimurnithphOai'Berinteryn's
acnodndpurcotc,esthsiactnttyi
k"rhee
city of the violated treaty," on Thursday week. On Satur-
imnvouriteedd
day night Mr. O'Brien arrived in Limerick, and forthwith
the patriotic trades—of whom, by the way, the "Head Pa-
cificator" is President—waited on "the Martyr," to ascertain
how and when they could have the satisfaction of repaying
him for all the sufferings and sacrifices he has endured and
made. Mr. O'Brien, we are told, by the Limerick Reporter,
received the deputation most warmly—thanked them for
their congratulations, and accepted the intended demonstra-
tion, after which the deputation retired.
The several guilds of the congregated trades assembled
again at their hall on Sunday at two o'clock, to enter upon
the preliminary arrangements.
A preliminary meeting of the citizens was also held at the
Commercial-buildings, at two o'clock, the Right Worshipful
the Mayor in the chair, to consider the best means of giving
all the effect in their power to the intended demonstration.
The masters and wardens of the trades attended upon an
invitation from this meeting. There was a unanimous feel-
ing that the forthcoming demonstration should be rendered
worthy of the man, and the cause of the congregated trades,
and of the people of Limerick.
Subscriptions were set on foot upon the spot, towards a
magnificent triumphal car for the descendant of the hero
of Clontarf. It was further agreed that the whole order
of the procession is to be under the management of the
trades, who so well know how to conduct such demon-
strations.
