be correctly informed, as soon as possible, on the sbbjtct of hi. Mejes.
ty's intention to visit the Corporation at Guildhall, waited upon some
of the ntembers of the Government, and reques:cd to know whether

the City the honor so earnestly desired by all.
To this request Ministers, we undi rstand, replied, that his Majesty,
with all possible good wishes and feeling towards the Corporation, felt
it necessary, in consequence of the long nights and severe weather, to
postpone his intended visit for the present. His lordship was at the same

THE DUJ

.(1 IiTH URA

It is understood that preparations are already making for the depot.
tore of the Duke of Northumberland from his Government, and that his
Graces househould is busily employed in their respective ditties. On
the retirement of his Grace we would say one word. Having succeeded,
and at a period of the highest excitement ever remembered in Ireland.
to a Chief Governor, the most popular and beloved that Ireland
ever had, he yet, by the mildness and consistency of his public
' conduct, by the urbanity and kindness of his demeanour
in private, by strict impartiality, and by the ready disposition he had
at all times evinced to promote the welfare of Ireland, made a
deep impression upon the good will of the people. It was in vain
that the Orangemen carped at him ; while the attacks of the Iced ref
the other faction filled the public with loathing and disgust. H leave
this country, having had the honour (honour even to his high r irk) of
having been the Viceroy who first administered the Cons itution to all the
people of this realm. His amiable and admirable Duchess can never be
forgotten by the poor of Dublin, u the dispenser of princely ben7ficence.
This exalted pair, therefore, will leave Ireland with the blessings of the
poor, and with the hearty prayer and good wishes of all men who value
public virtue and private worth.
The Duke of Northumberland's government has firmed an epoch in
the History of Ireland. In his time, all the people were made free. His
administration has been distinguished by impartiality in the disposal of
patronage, as well as in the administration of the law. lie was assailed,
of course, by the vulgar extremes of both the factions—but he had p.
thered round him public men and private individuals of the first eminence
in the country, and of the most liberal politics. The regrets and esteem
of these men would be an answer, if one were deemed net evsary, to the
calumnies of both factions. Of his Duchess, even the base na ures of
the faction are shamed into reluctant homage. She has—the richest
reward that mankind can bestow—the blessings of the widow, the or.
Phan, and the desolate, to attend her.—Dublin Evening Peal.
