The Everting Mail asserts that Government have determined on
calling out the Irish yeomanry ! Such a measure would be in perfect

of public amusement, had taken place or were expected, and requesting

ment take of this question, altd to lay down a line which it is hoped,
will be sofildendy disdnet for your guidance, in the exercise of the im-

pression of public opinion, nor to interfere with the right of petitioning
parliament, or of temperately appealing to those a ith whom the power
of redressing the grievances complained of may rest.
But, I am further directed by his Excellency to observe, that while
he is mat anxious to secure to the people the undisturbed exercise of
their constitutional eight, it is no less his determination than hie duty,
in the mean of the high dila with which he has been entrusted
by his Majesty, to guard against any abuse of those rights leading
to a violation of the law or a breachof the public peace.
The law recogntest the fair and legitimate exercise of the right of

Mr. O'Connell, who, with Mr. Steele. Mr. M. O'Connell. Mr. Ro-
uyn*, and other friends to a repeal of the Union and radical reform is
Parliament, had been invited to Drogheda, to attend the reform tosethig
and dinner left Dublin on Wednesday for that purpose, accompanki
by those gen, tlemen, Mr. J. A. Conan, and Mr. Terence T. Dela& it
was little more than nine o'clock on the morning wbon Mr. O'Connell
was on the road to Drogheda, and as he passed along the redoes
groups that were collected together, loud cheers bunt from them as they
recognised him by the green and orange trappings which decanted be
bones and carriage. At a few moments past 11 edock, Mr. O'Connell
reached Dukek, where a magniSeent triumphal arch was erected, whielt
was surrounded by about 2,000 persons, who were waking to greet him.
When within a mile and a bell of Drogheda, the cot tege of Mr.
O'Connell came up with the band of Drogheda freeholders, under the
cosnutand of their loader, Mr. Christopher May. He. like the OW
freeholders wide! his command, wore an orange mad green scarf. At
the rear of the freeholders were to be seen along the road, far m the. eye
could reach, the hardy peasantry of Meath, and of the neighbouring
counties, and every man of them having orange and green ribboes
either on his hat or in the breast of his coat. Hese then could not have
been in view less than forty to fifty thousand Individuals.
At halftime cola o'clock In the evening the friends to a repeal of the
Union, and radical reform in parliament, assembled in the bra School.

oommodating, with comfort, more than RIO perms. Although thud
one hundred others applied for tickets, that number of tickets only_ owe
given out, and were immediately purchased. The rooms in which the
dins' took plam, were fitted out with greet taste. The walls were
decorated with diftont entablature', on which appropriate devices were
inectibed, and encircled with orange and green ribbons. Over the bled
at the chairman was the motto —" Radical Reform and Vote byßeneir
and at the apposite end at the room..—" Repeal of the Veins." A gal.
levy was mad for the accommodation of the ladies. which was fully
occupied by them. Thomas Steele, Req. acted an Clubman, and Joseph

At the meeting of the Cork Caton in Dublin, Mr. Toder said that
no elms of cadmium in Ireland sulked in the same as did

four hundred tons of claret manually, but now the consumption of that

was proportionably valued ; and when the, trade was best, prices were
