DUBLIN QUARTERLY ASSEMBLY.

(From the Dublin Evening Po:q of Saturd
Yesterday the Common Council held their usual
Quaterly Assembly, the HIGH SIIRKIFfs in the
The Freedom of the Corporation was granted to
Gerald Callaghan, of Cork ; Mr. C. S. Coney, or
the county Monaghan, and Mr. Darcy Irvine, of
Pertbeige:
Mr. STOKER, Pod Latireat to the Corporation,
in proposing the Freedom of the Corporation to Mt.
Samuel Gray, of Ballybay, said, he could only des-
cribe the Milt of Jack Lawless in a few lints of
poetry of his own compnaltion, When Mr. Lawless
returned from his mission he exclaimed--
Mere I am, your great champion of mighty renown,
The leader of mobs in each parish and town,
The patron of Priestcraft, the idol of faction,
The undisguised agent of public distraction ;
Hibernia's own Hero, all thunder and blood,
Have I travelled so far, thus to stick in the mud.
Now, said the " Pod," in proposing my resolu
tion, and while my muse is in humour, I inform you
that—

Mr. Sheriffs and Gentlemen I mean to say,
That it's my intention this very day,
To propose the freedom of the City to Orange Grey.
Who drove Lawless Jack from Ballybay.
Which being seconded, was passed unanimously.
DAVY M'CLEARY then rose to oppose the admis-
sion to the Corporation of Mr. Richard Barrett.—
Mr, McCleary concluded by moving the following
resolution :--
" That, as it appears to us that Richard Barrett,
who is a Popish agitator, and a renegade Protest-
ant, has been surreptitiously admitted into the Cor-
poration of Brewers, we call upon the Board of .A►l-
dermen to refuse his petition, and not to send down
to the Hon. House so foul an excrescence on the
Protestant faith."

JUDKU4 BUTLER seconded the motion upon
public grounds.
After a short discussion Davy's motion was car-
ried. _ . .

Mr. KING, (brother of the King's stationer),
moved the appointment of a committee to prepare
petitions to the King and to Parliament against
granting any further concessions to the Catholics;
and also for the d4ranchisement of the Catholic
40s. freeholders.
Mr. DAVID M'CLEARV, ill a speech of an lour and
a half, supported this resolution. In the course of
his observations he called Mi. Peel a rat, and the
Duke of Wellington a mouse. ,His Grace at least
was mousing when he was taken by surprise at the
battle of Waterloo, which he would have lost but for

Blucher. He said there was a mutual compact be-,
tween the King and the people; and that the King
was as much bound to thein as they to him; and the

as their birth-right, and if the King put down the

stated that peculation and plunder existed to the
