IRELA ND.

DUBLIN, Sept. 8.

The Lords of the Admiralty visited Queenstown
on Thursday on their annual tour of inspection of
the Government navalestablishments. They received
a deputation from the " Dockyard Committee" on
the subject of the Royal Dock which is being con-
structed at that port. The objects of the deputation
were stated by the Mayor of Cork, the Earl of Ban-
don, and Mr. Maguire, M.P., who urged upon their
lordships the expediency of completing the work
with as little delay as possible, as it was of the
greatest importance, not only to the port but to the
naval service of the empire, that there should be an
establishment at Queenstown capable of receiving
and repairing such of her Majesty's ships as might
suffer injury on the southern coast. At present if a
disaster were to Occur to a vessel of the fleet it would
be sent to Plymouth, at more or less risk, to be re-
fitted, and this was a state of things which might be
most inconvenient to the service. It was understood
from what had fallen from the First Lord in the
House of Commons that the Government intended
to make the dock with convict labour alone ; but,
as the supply of convicts was, happily, small in Ire-
land, this course would delay the work considerably,
and the deputation was requested to:ask that free
labour should be employed in the dock. There was
no doubt that a great necessity existed for the dock
—as great as when the First Lord had recommended
the work to Parliament originally; for the new
class of ships employed in the navy required to be
docked more frequently than old, and it would be of
the greatest advantage to have at this port an esta-
blishment into which they could be received. The
Admiralty should not rely on the private docks,
which might be occupied at the very moment the
need came, and, therefore, no time should be lost
in finishing the Government establishment here.
Sir John Pakington said that the policy of esta-
blishing the dock there had been affirmed by the
course taken by the late Government and the House
of Commons. He was in favour of that policy.
Looking at that noble harbour, he could not doubt
that if they could only by wiiving a wand create a
dockyard on its shores it would be of great advan-
tage to the Royal Navy. But the question of policy
had been decided, and the only question that re-
mained was how that policy could be fairly and ex—
peditiously carried out. He entirely adopted the
principle affirmed by Lord.Bandon and the Mayor,
that when once a pledge was given by the Govern-
ment for the establishment of any public work it
was right that pledge should be redeemed fairly and
honourably, and with such expedition as might be
compatible with the interests of the country. Ile was

A --
afraid that in this case there was some little dills'
culty, for, speaking under correction, he
was tender
the impression that the vote for the work was asked
for on the understanding that it was to be built
with convict labour. There was at present a difa.
culty of procuring convict labour, and only 150 con-
victs could be put on the work, though the number
in the original estimate to complete the work in sfl
years was set down as 600. At the present rate
the dock would not be completed for 24 years. Ile
would make inquiries to ascertain whether a larger
number of convicts could be procured from Irish or
English prisons, bat here the difficulty arose, as from
the improved state of the country there was just newt
a scarcity of convicts in both. They were aware'
too, that there were serious financial difficulties ia
the prosent state of the navy, and he could not b.e
.
expected toway more than what he had already said
—that he thought where a public pledge was given,
it ought to be redeemed as soon as was consistent
with the general interests of the country. If they
had to resort to free labour the question of the addi-
tional expense would also become matter for consi-
deration.
Mr. Maguire expressed a doubt that the House of
Commons had limited the Government to convict
labour for making the dock.
The deputation next put before their Lordships
a claim to have the repairs of the Admiralty pier
at Queenstown defrayed by the Government. It
was alleged that when the pier was being built the
Admiralty required that timber should be placed
in front of the stonework. There is an insect peen'
liar to the harbour which rapidly destroys all timber
immersed in the water ; and to repair the wooden
part of the pier cost £5OO a year. Sir J. Pakingtea
said he had not previously heard of this matter, but
he would inquire into it. Lord Fermoy called the
attention of their lordships to the advantage of build-
ing a pier in deep water at Queenstown to facilitate
the transmission of American mails. Sir J. raking'
ton suggested that the best way of bringing the
matter forward would be by means of a memorial to
the Board of Admiralty stating the whole of the en'
cumstances and what it would be necessary to do. ft
would be a most important matter to establish such
a quay. Speaking as a member of the Government
rather tlihn as First Lord of the Admiralty, he
would be prepared to give fair support to any PI
Mr. Disraeli might consider expedient and consistent
with his views of finance. Their lordships soon after
commenced their inspection, visiting in succession tha",
dockyard works at .Uaulbowline and the Sailefs
Home. In the evening they entertained a distin-
guished party on board the Osborne. The Fira
Lord was accompanied by Sir F. Milne, Mali°l
Seymour, M.P., and Mr. Ducane, M.P.
An interesting ceremony took place yeterdaY at
the town of Wicklow—the launch of a new lifehe3t
foc,,that station, which was witnessed by a large
concourse of people. The boat was the gift of .
R. J. Garden, of London, son of the late Mr. It* m;
Garden, of River Lyons, King's county. A site Iv;
granted by the Tovva Commissioners close to WI -
beach, beside the entrance to the small harbour of
.Wicklow, upon which a handsome and comuaedi°ll3„,
boathouse has been erected. Over the entrance '-
it is a tablet to the memory of the late Mr. Garden'
and stating that the present lifeboat establishment
is in the names of his grandchildren; the

plisses Garden.
The Lord-Lieutenant received deputations this
day from the Rathmines and Rathgar Townsbil;
Commissioners ; from the Governor and Council 0
the Apothecaries' Hall, Ireland; and from the 11.°131
Agricultural Society of Ireland. To the address °
the latter his Excellency replied in the follevii°s
terms :
Mr. Lord President, Vice-Presidents, and Council of alwaa
Royal Agricultural Society, -rI thank you for the loyni3u
cordial sentiments with which you greet me as the rePrei;
sentative in this country of our gracious Sovereign t'
Queen. Connected as lam by lauded property with 1,1e1;
land, and fully aware, from long experience, how intimn'o
the welfare of every class in Ireland, whether convivire
or manufacturing, is bound up in that most important onl,
which has for its object the efficient cultivation of the 80
tu
the agricultural prosperity of Ireland cannot but be wiot
me a matter of the deepest interest. I trust I hay° /I,y;
been wanting hitherto in some evidence of that inteNP f
and I am glad of the opportunity of giving further prlf
of it by acceding with pleasure to your wish that I sOu L
become vice-patron of a society which has for its obj,e"
and has been so instrumental in promoting, the adir3llo°-
meat and progress of agriculture in Ireland.
