VISIT OF UR O'CONNELL TO LONDON.

DUBLIN, MARCH s.—lt is stated very confidently to-
day, but whether correctly or not, that Mr. O'Connell
has consented to proceed to London, for the purpose of
presenting a petition from the Royal Canal Company,
praying for liberty to make sale of that property to the
Dublin, Mullingar, and Athlone Railway Company, in
order that a railway should be run along the line of the
canal. Some negotiation for such a sale had been in
progress before the publication of the report of the Board
of Trade, adverse to the Dublin, Mullingar, and Athlone
Company. The object of the Royal Canal Company is
to have the Bill for that railway passed, and it is as-
serted that the line preferred by the Board of Trade,
that from Dublin to Galway, cannot be proceeded with
this session, owing to some defects in the arrangement
of the latter company.
MEETING OF THE CORPORATION.
The corporation of Dublin held a meeting this day,
the Lord Mayor presiding. After some discussion it
was agreed that a petition should be presented to Par-
liament in favour of the Dublin, Mullingar, and Athlone
Railway, the line against which the Board of Trade have
reported. It was also arranged that the city seal should
be attached to the petition, and :that the Lord Mayor,
attired in his civic robes, should present it at the bar of
the House of Commons.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
The Evening Packet (the Castle organ), after confirm
ing the accuracy of the statement made by the Mercan-
tile, Advertiser, respecting the intention of her Majesty
and her illustrious consort to visit this country next
summer, adds Extensive preparations are already
in progress to give our august Sovereign such a recep-
tion as will prove the loyalty of her Irish subjects ; and
we can state on the best authority that the Dublin and
Drogheda Railway Company have in progress of build-
ing a magnificent state carriage for her Majesty's ac-
commodation. It will be of the most commodious struc-
ture, and the materials composing its decorations are of
the most solid and costly description."

was informed that she must pay 10e 6d. as a commencing
fee. She refused to pay anything, and left the place. The
next day she received a lawyer's letter, demanding pay-
ment of the 10s. 6d., and threatening proceedings if that
amount was not paid. Fortunately this lady had a friend
able to give her proper advice under such circumstances:
the demand was resisted. Steps will be taken to ex-
pose the parties if any further attempts are made. In
the meantime, as many ladies may be beguiled by the
offer of loans on their personal security, and other plau-
sible offers, we think it our duty to caution them pub-
licly against this iniquitous system.—Morning paper.
