A mo,t magnificent piece of plate, which, when
finished, will be the largest in Europe, and exceeding any thing of
the kind manufactured in this country, is now in course of com
pletion fur his Majesty, by Itundell and Bridge. It is for the pur-
pose of a wine• cooler, and some idea may be !armed of its magni-
tude from the fact, that a man may stand upright in it, and that it
will comprise 7,000 ounces of silver. This splendid service has
occupied a great length of time, especially in the gilding of it, as
this has been a work of more than ordinary difficulty (rum its im.
mense size, and the prejudicial effects to the workmen Irons the
quicksilver used in the gilding composition.
The- following is an extract of a private letter by
yesterday's Mail: " Dublin, Jan.l7.
" A motley group of Roman Catholics, beaded by Mr. O'Cos-
Nzt.e and two Priests, proceeded this day, at twelve o'clock, from
Townsend street Chapel, the appointed place of rendezvous, with
an address from the Papists of that parish, to his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant. The deputation moved off in about half a dozen
hackney coaches, along the quays, greeted by all the coal-heavers
and lab women in the metropolis, to the Vice-Regal Lodge, in the
Phenix Park, where they were admitted to the presence of his
Excellency, and presented the address, to which he returned a
witable answer. Theis were but one or two unnumbered carriages
in the cortege.
" The High Sheriff of Mayo has refused to call his County to
address the Lord Lieutenant, in imitation of the Lord Mayor of
this City, to which latter functionary the Corporation of Dublin
unanimously voted their thanks and meed of approbation, in the
Quarterly Assembly yesterday, for his refusal to convene the inha
bitants for the purpose of addressing. In Kildare a similar refusal
has been given, notwithstanding the Duke of Lsoirraa exerted all
his lt.fluence to effect it. From these and other evidences you may
estimate the upi.)ions of the Protestants of Ireland on the rectal of
his • E.cellency.
The glorious cause of Protestanism is in progress as rapidly
here se in England :—The ccunty of Cavan meets, convened by the
