FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, APRIL 18.
This paper contains a confirmation of the capture of Diebitach, ex.
tracted from the Globe and British Traveller 1 The doubts of the
STAR were of coon not equal to the authentic advice, of its contempo-
raries ; but really such veracious authorities ought to be quoted here.
after with a grain of allowance. Every attentive observer in the three
kingdoms must be aware that, for some months, the foreign news In the
STAR is, in nine cams in ten, twenty four hours earlier than its contem-
poraries. It is true, we say less of our authentic advice'," and
" official despatches," because they are not so rare with us as with those
who quote what they seldom get except at second-hand.
Saturday, pursuant to a requisition of the Lord Mayor, convening
"a meeting of the Mendicity Association, and of the householders of
Dublin, for the purpose of the managing committee resigning their trust,
unless measures should be taken for the effectual support of the intim.
don," &c. a meeting took place at Morrison's Great Rooms. At half.
past one o'clock, the Chair was taken by the Lord Mayor.
The following is a statement of the financial condition of the In-
stitution 3
General annual expenditure .. • . ... Z 9,000 0 0
Average Weekly expenses .. 230 0 0
Debts now due by the Association • • 8011 11 2

The Association receives annually—
Interest ou legacies and donations 021 1 8
The value of stock on hand is about ... .. 200 0 0
And the money at present on hands, amounts only to 137 0 0
On looking to thoprinted returns they found that there were in Dublin,
17,324 houses, of these 4,453 paid towards the Institution, and of that
number he found that there were seven who contributed the vast sub.
scription of Id. a year; nine who contributed 2d. a year ; there were
140 who subscribed large sums, varying in amount from 11. to 50L
:k"r9 houses which subscribed 2s. 6d. a year • 728 which subscribed 3s.
a vets, and a number who subscribed smaller sums. It is quite plain
that the Institution cannot go on depending upon expedients (hear).
—lt was not to he expected that the person who had hitherto con-
tributed 201. a year would hereafter continue to do so, when be
saw four out of five who did not contribute a single shilling—it
was not in human nature to do it—it was not in human justice to
expect it. It was necessary that something should be done for the In-
stitution, otherwise the unfortunate wretches should he driven out into
the streets. If it became necessary to let loose the mendicants upon
the public, it would not be alone the 3000 individuals of that institu-
tion that they would let out upon the city, but others would flock Into
the metropolis when they found that street begging was countenanced,
and every reprobate and ruffian that was now restrained by n salutary
terror would nod it a cloak fur his villainy. The city would be com-
pletely overrun by such a deluge of wretchedness and a mass of human
rubery would so completely block up the streets, that ladies would find
it impossible to enter a shop, and shopkeepers to carry on their
business

agent of the traverser, in the late prodasuadon state prosecution that
they will be required to appear in the King's Bench on Wednewfay, to

unexpected, that we know not how to interpret it. What object can
be aimed at by again lighting the torch of national discord, we are
unable to conjecture. We believe, however, that there was a specific

" Unless you desist, I denounce you as traitors to the cause of the

not the advice of O'Connell, your clergy, and the other friends of the
country.
" I leave you to the governmeet, and the fire and the bayonets of the

Immediately after Mr. Steele posted his address, he mounted on
horseback and rode to a place among the mountains, on the borders of
Cialway, where he bad information that a very numerous body of the

DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER, APRIL 18.

Pursuart to a requisition numerously signed, and whitened to the
high sheriff°, Roscommon, calling upon him to convene a meeting of
the nobility, gentry, and freeholders of the county, for the purpose of
giving their support to the plan of reforitt now advocated by his Ma-
jesty's Alinisters, and of petitioning both houses of parliament, that the
same be immediately eroded into effect, a oumerous and highly
respectable meeting took place in the Court-house of Roscommon,
on Saturday last. Among those present we observed the follow-
ing Oen:lcmen :—Edmond Naghten, of Thomastown Park, the
High Sheriff t O. D. J. Grace, late High Sheriff ; Flustephen
'much, brother of the county member ; Daniel Kelly, of Caryint ;

Nineteen persons, in aims, were tal:cn, on Thursday, in the middle
of the day, near Cotofin, by a military party, under Toutkins Brcw,
Esq.—Choc Sentinel.
In Galway, a meeting of magistrate, was held on Wednesday last,
when they came to the determination to apply to Government to have
100 policemen embodied, in addition to the 400 called for at the recent
meeting in Eyre Court.
The Western Argos states, that thirty of the Terry Alto concerned
in the attack on Sir John Burke's, at Marble-hill, were arrested in the
neighbourhood of Loughrea, on the Information of one of their own
body. The informer was a deserter, named Cabana!).
Murray, the man convicted at the late Cavan Assists, of a felonious
assault on an old woman, named Oliver, has been saved from
the ignominious death which the law awards to those convicted of such
an offence as that with which he stood charged. On Friday the Lord
Lieutenant determined that his sentence should be commuted to trans-
portation. We have heard ftom a correspondent in Cavan, that Change.
men as well as Catholics were most anxious to save the life of this un.
fortunate man.
Mr. Lawessm—Mr. Lawless arrived in this city yesterday, from
Limerick, where he hasibeen for the last week. We are glad to see
this gentleman in the enjoyment of his accustomed health, spirits, and
buoyancy, and when we consider the scenes through which he Ito pissed,
and the fidelity with which he has ever fought the battles of his coun-
try, we are quite willing to admit it required no ordinary share of en-
ergy to work through with the success of which Mr. Latrine may
bout. To this gentleman mainly were the forty-shilling freeholders
indebted for the of that power which proved the triumph
of the Catholic rx:roi,z._ to that unprecedented manifestation of
national feeling in the North of Ireland in 1828—we mean the affair
