IMPROVEMENT OF IRELAND.---This day
his Excellency received the Deputation from the Society
for the Improvement of Ireland, consisting of the LORD
MAYOR, the Marquis of Dowristuau, and several, other
gentlemen. His Excellency entered very fully into the
subject, and devoted more than two hours in minute in-
quiries into the present state of the country, and the means
suggested for its practical improvement. The conversa-
tion terminated by the strongest expression of his wish to
be furnished with every further information, and his de-
termination to give his most zealous and cordial support to
promote the laudable objects of the Society. We are happy
to be able to state, that nothing could exceed the anxious
wish expressed by his Excellency to promote every mea-
sure, calculated to advance the prosperity of Ireland.

parish, having four children and a poor wife. A day or two
ago, he was called on for tithes ; there were Rectorial
Tithes, Corporation Tithes, and Vicarial Tithes. Having
nothing to pay them, the very zealous Collector took from
